[Gordinho80]

Sweet ass-video, Bob!

Hey thanks. ass video ? Ass of my TB video that is.

The water vid is sweet. The camera is down long enough you can actually see what's floating under the water at one point . Got some good pix of our 2nd camp site too among other pix.

Great vid Bob....edited very well! Mine are still being PITA's....working on it. Got some friends at work that are computer literate (more than me, anyway) that could help me out here....

[Gordinho80]

Dan, crack some skulls if you have to!!

Bob, post up the pics!!!

You are all smiley whores

I thought the traditional TECORE phrase would be smiley ass-whores.

Remember... he wasn't there to enjoy the antics of the hyphen repositioning.

Looks like that wasn't the only "repositioning"

Keep in mind, I drive a truck during the day, not a computer. Here comes some pix . .

My front stabilizer bar bushings and end links are destroyed so I picked up O.E. bushings and Moog end links.

PS: I believe my rear end links are making noise too. I will be sure when I finish the front and take those noises out of the equation.

I will post more pix later today. Hopefully get a vid edited too

You might be happier long-term with the SuspensionMAXX end links. Look bulletproof.

Thanks Roadie. I can see how they are made. Looks strong. Grade 10.9 bolts, washers, metal sleeve, polyurethane or rubber bushings and the threaded section between the bushings I found on line at a speciality parts store. No offense to the manufacturer but I can obtain all those parts and make a set for much less than the asking price. I may just do that for my rear links and mod them to be quick disconnects.

I have a decent understanding of mechanics, common sense and a MIG.

Time. . . is my enemy.

If you aren't joking, maybe we could make some kind of trade for those wheels. Gotta do some R&D first either way. I already have some ideas but I have to decide wether or not a gas tank armor plate is more important. I would sure hate to make a set of sway bar quick disconnects and puncture my gas tank cause my suspension flexed a little tooo far on a rock. That would be some irony.

If this gives you any idea of what i'm capable of, I cut bent and welded this entire cart together for my MIG. The wheels came from Harbor Freight.

[Gordinho80]

Bob, we'll talk!

[bobbyblaze]

BaAck to the thread at hand . . . Saturday camp.

[bobbyblaze]

Video time . Sit back and enjoy. You can actually hear the water gurgling when it goes under. Enjoy !

Bob, great vid... Not really digging the music selection, though...

Most don't like my music. I'm okay with that. DMB not my first choice. I actually purchased the JAWS movie theme song with the infamous shark attack music from itunes but could not get it to convert to a file type that will work with my editing program. If I could figure that out,, I would re-edit the vid and re-post it with jaws. It's stuck as an M4A file and I can't seem to figure out how to convert it to a usuable file type.

[Trail X]

Great pics and vids there Bob! Thanks for posting them!

Any others you plan to upload?

[MrSmithsTB]

Sweet! But D M B = G A Y

It's stuck as an M4A file and I can't seem to figure out how to convert it to a usuable file type.

In iTunes, click "Edit" -> "Preferences". On the "General" tab click "Import Settings". Select the encoder on "Import using:" and the quality in "Setting:". Apply the changes and close that window. Then browse to the song title in iTunes, right-click it and select "Create <encoder> Version".
