What did you do to your rig today?

Post by **PiDGE** » Fri Jan 31, 2014 6:08 pm

Got up this morning to my driver side fog/spot light broken off. Pulled the grill and some wiring to remove it completely because it was just hanging their. Gonna get the same set from National4wd when I can. I really like the output from them. If anyone has any other lights they may suggest that don't break the bank then please let me know. These by the way are VisionX, roughly 6" in diameter.

Hopefully this weekend ill get a new set. These at least don't break the bank and have lasted about 5 years which I think is decent for a set of lights.

I think Shockwave does. I will have to ask him.

Pulled out the mailmans car with it today. My shackle was too big so we had to rig something up to work but it was very low tension, just had to move him off of the ice and soft shoulder. Reminded me of someone else here who recently had the same experience. I need to get some smaller shackles.

Also I changed my oil yesterday.

Hopefully this won't affect weekend adventures.

This sounds like quite the day. You're not confusing this site with another one of your surfing pleasures, are you? Just saying.

All good. There and back @ 105 on the speedo (~110) cruise set and never came out of gear on the 417, 416 or 401. I'm impressed how unmemorable the drive home with the Maxima in tow actually was, perfectly boring.

I towed a maxima (2002) with the pathfinder last week from smiths falls to vanier...Managed to hold 100 without it gearing down. Shocking, I know.

This week I fixed a ground problem that was causing a ton of small issues that I had been living with. The body ground part of the negative battery cable was making poor contact, causing a low rpm miss, coolant gauge was erractic, and my trailer lights to be extremely dim.

Two front wheel bearings, washed it, amber covers for the Rigid duallys, and started building the light bar for the front bumper.

Lower ball joints were going and needed to put cam bolts in but the sleeves to the lca's the bolts seize so you have to cut them out. i also had a CV that was ticking.

Hauling Maxima's around is a good fun.

I hit it with something in the garage, and out of frustration I tried to push it out from the inside, and I think I made it worse, now instead of a big dent there is a smaller one and 2 ripples. Oh well, I'll get it into a body shop when I have some cash, or may have a go at doing it myself.
