That's actually heavier than I expected. I guess that's wet weight, though, vs dry curb weight. And still about 1500lb lighter than anything you can buy today... :tisk:

That's something else I need to do with the Z once I get her up and running. I eyeballed it close as I could get and it looks fairly level, but there's no telling what the actual suspension weight is per wheel, lol.

I got my turbos bolted on and figured out they didn't send any extra bolts for the extra holes a 5 bolt turbo/downpipe setup requires. So now gotta wait some more.

Anyone wanna come thread my wiring harness through the firewall for me? Cause I got pissed at the old one and just cut it out. Don't see the new one going in much easier.

Bro. This is not the purpose of this thread. it's just a general chat thread. If you wanna sell in the forums, understand your audience. This is exactly what Anthony (Pezi) said in the other s*** of a thread.

Garden is nearly 100% planted. Broccoli, onions, corn, zucchini, cabbage, jalapeno, jabanero, serrano, 2 types of beans, and 5 types of tomatoes in. Just need to find some edamame somewhere. Still debating on doing pumpkins again.

Artichokes came back fast and are looking great. Strawberries are picking up nicely and the raspberries seem to be taking hold much better than last year.

Still gotta thin and prune fruit trees.

And my snakes are back!

Nice!!
My strawberries are coming back on their own after winter. Really surprised by that.
Sadly, I won't be planting this year. We just closed on our first house and there is a great deal of yard maintenance that will have to come first. The cellar is pretty temperate and would make a very good 'root cellar' in the winter.

Aw crap, I forgot about basil and parsley. I pulled those out to rearrange. Now I need to figure out where to put them.

My garden consists of tree limbs and beer boxes that I need to burn. It's also surrounded by fence that I really hate trying to mow around. I'm planning on ripping it all up to re-shape my entire yard to help with drainage and to keep water away from my shop.

Its also balls f*** hot all the time in the summer, so I give negative f*** about trying to keep up with any sort of garden... however I do have 2 barren flower beds that I plan on putting peach trees in at some point.

no i am not. although i'd love to. things are rough for me atm. i'm short-handed at work, so i've been having to put in crazy hours. so because of that, as well as some personal issues, i'm super backed up on my house work. i'm supposed to be seeing a bonus for all the extra time and work i put in at my job, which is going to fund a little weekend getaway in the woods for the gf and myself.

So being a night shift cop with garbage days off (Monday and Tuesday), I always end up looking like an alcoholic when I drink after getting off shift on my weekend.
"Getting started early, huh?"
"No, I work night shift. Mind your own g*****n business, Karen. No one asked you."

I remember night shift, and dealing with this.
My typical response was
"Night shift"
Points thumb at self.
"My weekend"
Move thumb away from, then towards self.
" Beer me. Shuuush"

The smart ones knew not to make snide comments, but idiots are everywhere.
