I go "wheels up" this afternoon and hit the road for NACFest. Don't have a specific time yet, but I intend to be at the campground late afternoon.
I do have a small favor to ask - is anyone bringing an air saw or sawzall? I am going to be looking to borrow one for a couple minutes:
Back on the weekend before Thanksgiving, I finally put on that heavy-duty tie rod I got in Andy's group buy some time previously (Yes, I know that's probably some sort of record around here).
In doing so, I pulled the LF tire and then put it back on. When I took the truck down to the local tire shop for its new shoes (replaced the Duratracs with MT/R Kevlars), I discovered that I hadn't retightened the lug nuts, and the tire fell off halfway there. That kinda made a mess of the LF fender.
-- pause --
Ok, now that you've all picked yourselves up off the floor and gotten control of yourselves (I hope), the reason I'm going to be looking for a saw is because I think I need to trim a little bit off in the back of the wheel arch in order to make sure I don't cut into my brand-new tire. I was able to push and pull on it a little to straighten it a bit, but don't want to take chances - my luck with tires the last three outings has not been that good. I've got another fender standing by in the garage, but that's not going on until after this weekend.
