afternoon everyone.

Riding yesterday didnt go too well...we loaded up and drove to the sand pit/track we built, and i did 5 laps before my bottom balljoint broke...when i was 4th gear WOT. it ended in a death roll with me and the quad for a good 30 feet.

Then when i drove my truck into the sand pit to load up my quad, the earth gave way beneath it and i ended up sliding off a ledge and burying it almost to the frame.

Today's my birthday, illl be spending it in the library alone studying for my midterms haha

Pete, when do you get new bed? I may be able to help. Also, what needs soldering? Doesn't everything just unclip or twist out and what not.
Greg I'm doing a flatbed not a pickup box so the wiring for the lights won't work on factory plugs. Should be picking the bed up this week but I'll mount it prior to wiring it.

Well let me know when you are planning on mounting it and I can try to set aside some time.

pete/greg- i would chop the bedside plug off with some wire to work with, and solder that to the new flatbed so its still unpluggable.

It will depend on what the new bed comes with. One way or another it will be unpluggable.

I certainly had something although it was the 24 hour fever that killed me. I can handle the coughing and congestion, but my fever just kept going up yesterday. After a trip to the walk-in I spent the rest of the day on the couch with the chills, sipping on ginger ale, and eating toast.

Which words were too big for you to understand? Should I be keeping things to a 5 or 6 letter limit? Over.
