    I have no idea where Fort Hancock, TX is, but it seems like a long ways from either Tempe or Chandler hubs near me…

    Fort Hancock is a little SE of El Paso off I-10. Roughly 6 hrs from Arlington. That's progress!

    Population 1,213! That's a bustling town for sure! Just one of the five high schools in Mesa has 3 times the population in students!

    Don’t worry I’m tracking your shipment for you

    You also don’t need to worry about someone redirecting your shipment to my house. Not like I tried or anything :stirthepot:

    That is a decent job but not too terrible, if you have a good size garage which I know you do. If you run into any issues where you need help or tools let me know and if I am available I could swing by. Too bad the humidity is stupid crazy, I would lend you my evap cooler.

    I may be mall crawling to see if my 37’s rub

    Well I have not heard from you so I am going to work in the garage today. I have some trimming to do on the RCI cat guards since they are way too close to the LCA adjusters for alignment. Also pops when flexing and in a bind. Then going to clean my TB, she is not happy it seems because of gunk

    I started about an hour ago. I’m just going to knock out the rears today, still waiting on a replacement misalignment spacer for one of the fronts that fell out during shipping. It’s toasty.

    How’d your project go? Rears are in and riding nice. Not sure when the fronts will happen.

    Well I am wrapping up the Coolant Bypass and TB clean but man was that a chore. I used a whole brand new can of CRC TB a cleaner and still did not remove all the carbon. There is a ring (casting ring) inside that it built up on. I had a plastic piece I used to try to break loose but it was fighting back. After all that fighting I got a polish wheel out and got it done. I will go back in when I get something to port and polish it to a baby’s butt later but moving on to the skid plate cuttingIMG_0688.jpg


    This is how I connected my bypass hose, it was curled like this on the end but I did not want to cut it so I reused the curve. It should be fine

    I will be back you little b*@ch!

    BTW
    Does anyone have the torque for the 4 bolts holding the TB? I am going to start digging but thought maybe someone had it handy

    It is 95 in my garage

    I’m so confused. Where’s the little shelf on the drivers side that makes installing the reservoir a PITA? :confused:
