Shopping for tow rig

[Marlin]

Hey, it can also help during zombie revolution, you can launch projectiles at oncoming zombies from a distance I actually like golf, but only if I'm playing with friends. Watching golf is about as boring as watching soccer. I played soccer in school but refuse to watch it. I think golf is nice to have a relaxing day, have a few drinks with your friends and get "away" sometimes. And on the lady driver's thing, how about we say MOST of them, not all. The percentage is high enough to say all but there are some that aren't bad. Like Liz Miles:

Golf is way too expensive for it to be a relaxing day. Plus, we weren't allowed to have alcohol, although our caddies were dressed as various super heroes, and they brought lots of "weapons" to launch attacks against our enemy. This was a fund raiser golf tournament. The caddies were the newly selected "Chiefs". They go through a 6 week induction season during which we train them to become Chiefs. That is how I got my brake lines installed without me getting too dirty I sit and watch them get dirty and say things like "remember, righty tighty, lefty loosey". Or, "try not to get brake fluid everywhere", "don't scratch my truck". Training at its finest.

A buddy of mine at work just got a new Lariat diesel 6.0. He took it to a tuning shop to get the EGR delete done. The guy at the shop is "replacing a defective egr" as far as insurance is concerned, but somehow he's ending up with no egr and a free diesel tuner. Funny how that works

See that's why I don't usually play on the "big" courses. There were some nice ones by my house in Cali that were like $20 with a cart for 18 holes and there is one like that out here too that's pretty nice. And yeah the alcohol depends on course or you hide them in the cooler part of your golf bag

Illegal everywhere, and yes, I have looked into it. My wife made a promise to not let me mod the truck....its a tow truck, thats it, at least that is what I keep telling myself, but almost 600ftlbs torque is hard to resist.

[Ascinder]

Yes. yes it is.

How about that new duramax at over 700ft/lbs!

Well, the gooseneck is on hold, just got a call from the Ford dealership,turns out the whine that starts at 50 mph is from the rear differential. They said it needs an overhaul! They told me 1800 bucks, I said, not a chance. 850 for the parts, thats the bearings, seals, and the Limited slip clutch packs. I got on the FTE forum (been a member of that since 05), looks like it isn't uncommon for the diff bearing to go bad at 80-90k miles. I took it to another shop, 1100 out the door parts and all. I am ok with that, but that was trailer money, so I have to wait to get the trailer, hopefully in mid to late October.


*sigh, just got a call from the shop, the gears are damaged, replacing those makes the total around 1900. To go with a Jasper rear end, it was gonna be 3100, but I don't drive it enough to make it worth spending that much more. *

Most likely won't be till after Uwharrie, pending any damage to either of the Zus. We try to keep a little cash set aside for auto emergencies...enter rear diff job. Court offered to pay for part of the repair, very nice of her, I buy her a trail truck, spend 3 or 4k on parts for it, and she spots me some cash for fixing the tow rig What a loving wife.
