Mid-Tenn Chapter Roundtable

[rdd4x4]

I've got a question for all of the Dickson (and area around) guys. . Does anyone know of and trust a place close to Dickson to set my truck up with stacks? I already have them sitting at the house, and I want them run up through the bed on each side. . I was thinking about getting my Mom to get it done for me before I get back... Thanks yall...

 

[Crazygator]

Hey yall wake up. I hate "replying" to myself.



The wedding is Saturday 17 September. Micro-ceremony.



Then everybody is invited to the reception. Oo. It'll be at the farm in Wilson Co. I'll post directions later. Bout 8 miles total from Meachams. Go out Sparta Pike--then right on Young Road at Shop Springs, hang a left on Walnut Hill Road, to 964 go across the cattle gap, then another, then another. It's out there.



BBQ and Beer and such.

Wade,

So how purdy do we needs to be for attending your wedden? :-laf

I will try to work it into everything else going on. Sounds like a cool event to be at... ... ... the beer and bbq I mean! Oo.

 

[Underwood Tire]

I'll have a tux on and she'll be in a big dress. We get to change after the cake cutting.



The reception is at the family farm--Cows, horses, cheekins. We's pretty laid back. Yall wear whatcha want to. I'm sure all sorts of attire will be seen.



SHE's all tore up that we can't afford a truck for her yet. My sister has sunk to the level of 24v now. Cheryl wants a smoker bad. She just ain't ready for stacks.



SPEAKING of which. The insurance company don't want to pay. They are FREAKING idiots, but the trooper was real cool and we talked for a long time about it just last night.



Story short. IF the Black Box on that year ford records speed, AND we can get it without too many court filings. I'll challenge it. Otherwise I'm looking for some sheetmetal and/or a roller. I need a cab corner and a bed.



And a kid rear-ended me the other night in the red truck. I have to laugh, he said "my bad" and I said "no damage, no problem---see you later" and we split.



He had run up ON my drop hitch--no telling what was fouled up behind his bumper cover. :-laf



So if you see me coming, get out of the road. No telling what might happen. :--)

 

[Cumminsman]

i got an o1 for sale

 

[WadePatton]

Just couldn't find a 12v to please her. Dangit. She's never had DW before. This one looks like a dead ringer for it. We'll calm down the tires when those wear a bit.



So who wants to ride to DFW this weekend? It'll be my third trip to TX for a truck. She's not ready for that kind of seat time.



It's around 9 hours one way.

Uhh..... Wade... ... . those Remington Mud Brutes are SHOT! not much tread left there bubba! :-laf

 

[WadePatton]

Did you see the michelins that I ran completely slick?



Anyhoo, she loves the truck and got her head out of the rack last week. She wants a roll cage now. I'll have her put in a GOOD transmission when that OEM job craps out. She's talking about stacks too.



Come on now. Who wants to go see if it's hot in TX? I'm buying the fuel and the BBQ brisket at Bodacious Bob's. Oo.

 

[HeavyHauler]

I'm in! When ya leaving?

 

[Piston Slapper]

Drove Ol Smokey this weekend... . Turbo won't lite till 10psi and 2500 rpms. It's a pig till then. But when it's does, it's burning the tires to 4,000 rpm, which is a grand total of about 2 seconds... She is way over fueled, or the turbo is to big, or the TC is too tight. Combination of all 3 right now. Still playing with it.



We actually had a powerstroke attempt to race us... . we jumped him off the line and smoked the road up so bad (2 lane hwy) he couldn't even leave. We drove down about 2 miles and come back and meet him about 3/4 the way back Still smoke in the road on the return trip. His headlights when we meet him were grey'd out... SWEET!

 

[HeavyHauler]

Hey guys, been having hard starts, strange fuel pressure flunctuations, and funny noises coming from the AirDog, so they're sending me a new pump today. Hopefully that will cure everything.



I've been reading on here, and nearly every symptom that I'm having right now has lead most people to a bad injector pump, but with the way this AirDog is acting and sounding right now, I'm not too worried about the VP44.



Wouldn't make much sense for it to go out the very minute I installed the AirDog anyway, but I guess it could happen.



The HTB2 was delivered Friday! Still waiting on more fuel from Don M - hopefully today or tomorrow.



Hey where can I get a short, straight section (2 feet) of 4" pipe with a flare on one end? The downpipe they sent me is way shorter than the MBRP downpipe so I'm gonna need an extension. Any ideas? I don't want to go hacking on the MBRP pipe and destroy the system so I'll have to figure something out.

 

[Piston Slapper]

Han's, It's probably that "BIG SHIFTER KNOB". Your feeling the lack of Air Dynamics. HEHEHEHE.

 

[HeavyHauler]

Han's, It's probably...

AHHHHH!!! Not you too! :-laf

 

[Piston Slapper]

I am Han's, Han's Solo. I don't need know light saber, I'll beat you down with my shifter!



You are branded dude, your Han's for life

 

[HeavyHauler]

Oh goodness...



Han Solo does not have an apostrophe or an "s" in his name. My name is Hans, with an "s" and no apostrophe, and I hate Star Wars! :-{} :-laf



Oh, and Han Solo carries a blaster pistol, not a light saber.



You guys are gonna have to come up with a nickname for me or something...

 

[AndyMan]

You guys are gonna have to come up with a nickname for me or something...

How about "T-bone"

 

[Underwood Tire]

How about "T-bone"

isn't t-bone that little dog on clifford the big red dog.

or is it gorge on seinfeld :-laf

 

[AndyMan]

I was going for the Seinfeld reference. That's one of my favorite episodes...

"look at George, givin' it to T-bone!". .

Of course, from that episode, there is also Kiko and Gammy... .

 

[WadePatton]

Hey, I's the one that got "T-boned"



Okay, on the TX pickup. My Standard Operating Procedure is driving down there with somebody and letting somebody drive the other truck back. No hassling with an empty trailer on the way down. But then I don't have a trailer big enough and the red truck has no goose hitch. I could take Mom's truck for the hitch, but it has 60k miles on the original auto--that shudders a bit in low. And it has stock power and no gauges--be like driving a rental car.



Funny how many times I look at the A-pillar when driving that one. Nothing but speaker.



I'd need somebody I could pick up anywhere, but the truck has to come back to Mboro. Then I takes you back.



HEY GAP, too tight converter is REAL bad on overfueled rigs.



Saw a turbo 6-banger go by here a minute ago at 150+mph. 911--Schweet.
