I need lockers... Patrick yanked me out with a towstrap. First use of the towstrap, AND my new synthetic winch cable.

Updates? Oh yeah - I assumed no one cared - my bad!

So truck is back at ACC getting the steering box rebuilt [by PSC] and also getting gravel guard along the whole rocker accent line down to the pinch weld, but color matched to the truck. I've been without the Java Monster for a bit over a week and I'm starting to feel it. I had to relearn how a car with a sweet spot in the clutch actually felt since I hadn't driven my car in a month or so!
 
I think the asymmetrical winch cutout is an "Ankur only" noticeable fault hahaha. All I see when I look at that bumper is.. Class.
Do you think the 60s gonna be finished this week? Ralph's (aka: the private country club) with the GA cruisers this weekend is beginning to look like a real possibility again :)

I am a 4th year Environmental Engineering major here now and drive my 60 around campus all the time. My fraternity brother knows a lot of the guys from ACC and actually was the one that got me in touch with them to get my 60 desmogged. I was pretty sure you didn't go here now because the only other cruisers I see are a green 40 and a gold 62. What did you major in?

I called ACC to get an update - hoping it'll be done, but not holding my breath. Can I ride-along if I'm rig-less?:bounce:

Oh and yes, I'm a little type-A about symmetry. I think pretty much everyone else would overlook it, but it pisses me off everytime I notice it. It's a sickness... :meh:

I was a business major, but came in as ME/BioMed Eng... before I partied my way to a D in particle dynamics my freshman year and decided I wasn't cut out for engineering.

What fraternity are you in? My family and I try to tailgate as much as possible during football season, we should get together!

Is Ralph's this weekend?
 
I. MISS. MY. TRUCK. DAMMIT.

Worth the wait to have a new, non-leaky steering box, and to be rid of that horrible black crap off the driver side rear wheel well arch. I'm glad the truck will still have dents and crap, so I'm not too scared to wheel her...

Started thinking up new projects for her too, like making some homemade camping gear storage drawers, maybe a slide-out for a fridge (if I can ever save enough money to buy one), some TRAIN HORNS perhaps?

Did I mention that I. MISS. MY. TRUCK???
:frown::crybaby:
 
You could always ARB the rear? That would be fun to work on, then you can can buy the same setup for me?? And I've decided that the only vehicle a train horn belongs on is a scooter... Saw a moped blow it's horns in goofy Little Five the other day... The most perfect harmony of sight and sound that has ever befallen these eyes and ears...

Maybe I will ARB the rear. I have a compressor already so I could save some $$$.

A moped with train horns is perfect. I don't have a horn so I'm overcompensating for that deficiency.

Good wheeling with you guys today!!! Post pics. My videos suck but I'll put them on YouTube soon.

Sweet. Ill help install. You should get two ARBs incase we lose one!
And the moped was beyond cool, i couldn't believe it... I didnt know you had a youtube account, i will watch out for them.

I had a very good time today as well. I was surprised there were so many trails we hadn't seen before. And since i know you care so much for that newly painted roof of your 60 :flipoff2:, just get some of that pebble proof Racing tape thats on the front of your badass M3.

I haven't gotten it back yet, but Christian sent me pics of the rocker line gravel guard job. They matched the color pretty damn well.
