When I was doing my auto tech program at my local community college I was doing a lower ball joint on a Corolla and I hit the control arm hard enough to send the head of my hammer flying across the shop
I hate doing ball joints. Sometimes they pop out with one hit other times you’re beating on it for an hour
Working on Land Cruisers for so fucking long gave me an entirely new appreciation for doing suspension work on little Nissans and Hondas
Then I hate changing spark plugs cause it’s always the middle even that gives me fucking trouble taking out and putting back it
You say that like you haven't tried to pull plugs on a V8 F150
I hate taking the damn door panels off of a 04-08 Ford
Jesus the ones that have 16 aren't bad to work on but dear god if it doesnt take 10 fucking years
Every time I get voluntold to wrench around on my dad's, every single plug breaks and they're a foot down in the block. Trick is you have to keep the engine hot and get them out while it's running
Heard they made a tool to extract broke plugs
I've never had 3v plugs break myself. But I've always been told to get it hot, soak them in penetrating oil, let it cool down, get it hot again, and take them out with an impact
That'd do it. They get hardcore siezed up in there.
I haven’t broke one myself
Just had a hard time getting em out of my truck
My 2000 S10 had to have the steering shift dropped to change #3 plug
Never understood how GM overlooked that
Been meaning to ask, you guys ever thought about using paramotors for the cookout? No license to own/operate, 3k for a nice entry model and 10 hours flight time on a 5 gallon tank of gas
Would've just jacked the motor up but the mount bolts were absolutely fucked from whoever changed them last
Paramotors?
I didn’t like how in my 99 Silverado the radio fuse controlled my odometer
They can get some serious altitude
I’d rather keep my feet on the ground
Seems dangerous 🙂
I mean, you've already got a parachute out 🤣
true lol
Stick to boots on the ground
Easy enough to make too for the brave, it's just a lawn mower engine with a prop and cage
🤣
Yeah they’re easy to make til a strong enough breeze comes through
I'm thinking about getting one in the future and seeing what accuracy would look like from you there
Up
Then study em and we can mass produce til we get better equipped
May well do that. Only problem is theyd get bubba'd and that'll mean regulations
4 wheels are sketcky enough
Let's be honest here
A fucking motorized parachute is bubba'd as is 😂
🤣🤣🤣
You're not wrong unfortunately
Still cool as shit tho
Biggest draw for me is that I found a channel where the guy running it has multiple stories of accidentally running from the cops on one. Usually nosy Nellie's calling the law cause they don't understand and they can't pursue him in the air
