That's how we roll in Texas!

Except we like our guns and The Great Republic of Texas understands that

 

Don't you mean the Republic of Texas?

 

I've been working toward taming the wallowing beast. I've been playing with tire pressures lately and I think I fall into the higher pressure is better camp. I'm running 70psi all around and the truck feels a little better than it did at 55. Might be tire specific though.
But, still not good enough so I ordered this. Weather will determine when it goes on, so it might take a while.

 

You are on the right track 60+ PSI.

 

Fixed it

 

Broke down and got a new rear wiper arm for the beast. Wasn't even making contact anymore....

 

OMG you will LOVE it!!! This is one of ht e best things you can do to the X

 

I know it helped mine a lot. However adding another spring went backwards.

 

I agree with living away from people. I live in the standard neighborhood setting right now and I hate it. Looky-loos everywhere, keeping garage closed in the summer sucks while working on the hot rods, virtually no privacy......this will be changing soon.

As for the snow, you can have it.....not a fan. I like it at times but not dealing with removing it, driving in it - because of others, and the salt. Anything above 50 for the "cold" season is fine with me!

 

Better not try to cross the bridge to Canada with anything that goes bang...they confiscate it and you get a free orange jumpsuit in return.

 

Not to worry I travel to Detroit very often...it's mostly all media hype and going into the wrong places after dark. No worries if you stick to downtown and to the actual "tourist" items, like The Henry Ford and some of the other attractions. Don't go the Packard plant or to the old train station...those places are not safe. Not only could you get mugged but you could also end up getting hurt within the buildings themselves.

 

My general rule is: If my wife and I cannot carry, my family doesn't go. Nobody else will accept responsibility for our safety, that responsibility is mine alone. So why should I take them somewhere without the ability to defend them or those around them?


YMMV

 

Haha, can't rep but if I could the trailer park boys deserve it. Driven past that part of Nova Scotia many times.

Yeah, I head it is tough to get citizenship. But in the end you won't have to work as hard as I did... I had to come out kicking and screaming and covered in blood

Goodluck with it though if it is something you're seriously considering.

I also hear the ladies like your accents more.

I don't knew what that's all aboot eh

Don't worry, we send all our crazies down your way to keep us safe. Justin Bieber, Pamela Anderson, etc.

You'd be safe up here

 

I think if this doesn't do it, I'm leaning toward air bags. I'm hoping this is all I need though.

 

I lived in Detroit when I was younger and while I have been to all of that and we plan on hitting those up the reason for the trip IS to go to the bad areas. That's the reason for the firearms We plan on going to the Packard plant day one actually, it's odd you mention it The train center will be later on in the week The whole reason for the trip if to attempt to make a small documentary on Detroit, but I doubt it (the documentary) will happen.
