October Cruise - 10/19 |

clbd39: If you're wanting a few things from snap-on let me know, I can get a decent discount on their tools and toolboxes. I actually just ordered some stuff Jul 11, 2014 16:52:15 GMT -6

crazytaxi: Cobalt used to be a great brand until they did the same thing. They removed much of the cobalt from the steel alloy and the tools became brittle. Jul 8, 2014 19:17:46 GMT -6

crazytaxi: Pretty much. They are assembled here in the US but all the castings are made overseas. The quality of the metals has gone down substantially as a result. I've had 10 or so ratchets break on me. Jul 8, 2014 19:17:03 GMT -6

I was under the impression, based on comments I read, that last month's cruise involved gravel and wasn't the best route...

There was gravel due to a miscommunication. I'll throw the route into Google maps shortly.
It was definitely a sweet route. Technical roads. I was not driving, instead I pretended to navigate for Michael.
The reason I am making some changed to the previous route is because there were some areas on the route that we were pretty much asking for separation of the pack, and random cars bunched up with us. Hoping with these changes to avoid a majority of that.

Walkie Talkies definitely help along with people reviewing the cruise route prior to meeting up and having a competent navigator definitely won't hurt (don't pick me).

Derrick, you've already done this run before. Our group encountered gravel and immediately took a different route.
This will pretty much be the same run we did last month. Just this time the map will match what we are doing and we are dumping those beginning turns where we first derailed and got separated. No stopping at the florist this time. And no pancake breakfast stop.

I had no idea it was there and then when we went on it no one stopped or notified me in any way so I figured everyone was ok with it. plus we were only doing 10 mph.

Ok, so to all who were on the cruise today. My issue was a simple boost hose underneath the intercooler that popped off the intake manifold. Eric at TP was able to diagnose the problem within seconds of me describing the symptoms. Of course, this was after I spent all day pulling off, checking, and re-installing basically every aftermarket part. Crisis averted. Sorry I missed the install day, guise!
