you can try lubing the cable. i dont remember seeing them jump that much. usually when its a little movement at steady speed. the cable needs lube or its about to break

Seriously........ I gotta be honest........ for a second, I thought it was your boom-booms making it bounce, hahaha. Then my brain reengaged and I remembered it doesn't work that way, but still, it was a good laugh at myself moment for the day, ....thanks lol.

my dad went and talked to the owner while i was driving to work..
I'm just waiting for him to show up so i can apologize and do whatever it is i have to do.
It just stinks... trying to save money.. having none.. and wasting it on avoidable crap like this.

ok so I talked to the guy.. super cool dude.
basically he flattened the hood and pulled the grill out himself.
He said if I can get find the latch that opens the hood, That'll be the end of it.
unfortunately.. I can't find it. Gonna have my dad give me a hand when he gets off work.

so i went out to go find the latch.. I knocked on his door, and he came out and said "i fixed it bro! no harm done."
So i asked what i could do.
"nothing! just be a good neighbor."

I'm bringing him some microbrews from San Diego to welcome him to the neighborhood.. haha.

Thanks guys. I have to chuckle at how little my truck was even affected. She's so good to me.

"she's so good to me"........... Ahhhh.... yes, I have to remember that and just forget the last couple years on my end! hahaha... Actually, it's mostly Human STUPIDITY that brought me on that crazy ride.... But she does have a few mysteries still that are driving me nuts! hahaha.

Take care, Blake... STAY SAFE OUT THERE! (ok, maybe just "TRY to be careful from time to time".. how's that? hahaha)

hahaha yup!

yesterday I was driving home from work and i see this white thing fly out a guys window, hit the ground, and start spinning.. with a giant white cloud around it. i swerve to miss it and my right tires hit... a puddle of it. WHITE. SPRAYPAINT. :'( so i speant 3 hours getting it all off... then washing... then waxing. haha what luck!

on a positive note.. a guy I know wants to sell me 5 32" BFG mud terrains for 300 bucks! barely used... the tread depth of the 4 used tires are the same as the spare which has never touched pavement. the only bummer is theyre off a Jeep JK... with 17's. but I can snag a deal on some cheap wheels and still get a better deal than that lovely 900-1000 dollar price tag for tires.. haha. stay tuned!
