It's similar to Christmas but, for a Christmas present, in general, you don't have to give up your first born child to pay for it. They make excellent tools but, the cost to buy a cabinet and the tools to fill it is likely to be more expensive than your FJ.
Getting back onto the CO BS topic, I've been sitting here watching the temps drop from -10F to -20F in the last 15 minutes. Definitely regretting my "wait and see" attitude towards getting a pellet stove installed.
Ya, I'm really not into this cold either. However, when it warmed up to -11 on the day we packed the car to move here from Minnesota in December of 2000, I was quite happy. So, it's all relative I guess. :lol:
If you want a hand with the install, let me know. If nothing else, I could show you where I put mine, and you could learn how not to do it. :jester:
My FJ really doesn't like anything under 10 degrees. The clutch and shifter feel like wet sand, and the interior makes lots of creaks and cracks before it heats up. I feel like I'm going to break something during my morning commute.
I'm driving my FJ up to the mountains tomorrow morning to go snowboarding. Anyone want to take a guess at how many large rocks will hit my windshield round trip?
Driving to work yesterday in CoS on 115, a good sized rock hit my windshield (3rd chip in 2 months) and I was pretty upset for a minute until a black infinity g35 directly in front of me made a quick lane change from the right to left lane, lost traction on the snow/ice covered asphalt and swerved off the highway, clipped a guard rail with the front left fender while crossing the median into the northbound left lane, over-steered back into southbound left lane and then finally came to a stop in the grass median. Luckily there were no vehicles heading (at that precise moment) northbound as he would have collided head on and caused some serious injuries or fatalities. Witnessing this, I forgot about my chipped windshield...//Michael :rocker:
Feel lucky, I'm in Washington DC temporarily and they shut down the government and schools if they even think there is going to be snow. The last two times snow was forecast everything shut down and it did nothing or just rained. Last time it snowed about 2 inches and you would have thought it snowed 36" the traffic moved so slow.
Nope no alignment yet. As soon as i do i will send you a text thx.
Welp, i dont know about you all but ive seen enough figure skating to last me a lifetime today. Why dont you just turn off the tv you ask? Well when you are stuck in a hotel in north dakota you try and find something better to do.
Hey slapps, since you deal with the snap on guys on a regular basis, i have a question for you. I've got one or two old, old 3/8s ratchets whose mechanism is worn out. Will snap on replace them?
I'm happy to report that I didn't get any new rock chips in my windshield on Saturday, though I did get the FJ a little side ways on I-70 on my way back. I-70 was super icy this weekend, probably the worst I've ever seen it. I was planning on going back up yesterday since the conditions on the slopes were so good, but I'm glad I didn't. Heard there were tons of accidents and 3+ hour delays as well as I-70 closing multiple times throughout the day to clear all the accidents. What a mess.
Going black? I'm loving my plastidip roof but was thinking of going the full linex route in a few years. (I think a solid grey linexed fj would look awesome) Out of curiosity what did they quote you for the roof?
Thought I would say what's up. I'm not on here much, mostly because I'm pretty broke right now and seeing all these mods on everyone's FJ is nerve racking when I can't start modding yet. I actually just moved back to Aurora about 2 weeks ago and plan on staying this time. I don't know if it's appropriate or not, but I have a 4 gal Rotopax gas can I'm trying to sell for $80 and not wanting to try to ship it, so I thought I would see if anyone was in the market for one at all. I have an ad up in the for sale section but with it being a local sale only, might be tough getting enough looks.
I do plan on attending the Summit this summer and hopefully meeting some of you.
Oh, I'd like to add that I'm a welder/fabricator, but have to start over getting tools to start doing stuff, but I do still have my TIG welder. So maybe in the future I can start making some stuff and doing some work if anyone needs it. Not looking to make any money off it. I just like building ****.
Ya i also wanna know how a college kid can afford to make his rig so awesome so fast. I thought you were supposed to be poor in college and rich(less poor) once you got a job. Maybe i should go back to college
