[Daryl LBZ]

I see. Keep us posted.

Brother tested the switch and ran some tests. Encoder motor is getting its 5v reference but only putting out 3v to actuator so its not going, thats why it threw a circuit malfunction code before. He can get one from gm for 179 and will be put in thursday.

Got my new u bolts in:

 

 

My buddy has my u bolt flip kit plate. Needed the center hole drilled out bigger to fit over the spring center pin. New driveshaft is in the mail and be here thursday. My axle builder said he should have it done by the end of the week which would be awesome!

Installed these today, and came to find out that my drivers side fog light doesn't work. Now I have to figure out why.

Planes are coming in low. Much lower than photo shows

Must be an alternate approach. Indy has several runways so maybe winds are dictating a different approach. You can ask Siri what planes are above you if you're curious about their origin.

It's different all the time some days no planes other days fed ex planes are landing on my roof. We are in the flight path of the life flight helicopter that thing flys low. Few wks ago I have no idea why maybe because all the kids were out on the block? He flew in circles above us for about 5 mins then came

Over the trees nose down and took off. Pretty cool stuff

One of the coolest things I've seen in recent years was heading on I90 in western Massachusetts. Westover AFB has F15s and they'll show off going over the freeway. Before the Soviet Union broke up there was a lot more activity in the northeast too. NH had F-111s that were part of the SAC so they were always coming and going. When I was real little when we'd be up on Lake Champlain in Vermont the F-16s out of Plattsburgh would go low and fast across the lake. Like a guy with a good arm could knock a ball off the plane low. Loved that. Fighters are probably the coolest thing on the planet.

U bolt flip kit?

[RyanbabZ71]

F35 is a phenomenal aircraft. Haven't seen one up close but I am sure I will get to since we make the lift system

Wow strange pic Ryan looks like your grill on your truck is tilted back like a Ford grill.

U bolt flip kit?

It flips the U bolt upside down so it doesn't have extra length from the u bolt hanging down. One less thing to drag or catch when offroading

Do you know the history of the JSF program? We aren't talking about the Stealth Fighter or the SR-71.

 

It was a complete mess, way over time and budget. Chinese hacked the Pentagon, stole the plans, and have what is essentially a Chinese fighter believe to be on par(maybe better since they know our secrets) that was designed, built, and put in the air a good 5 years before the JSF planes were on a comparative scale. When a Telegraph spy photographer somehow got a photo of the Chinese plane taking off for a test flight over 2 years ago, the Pentagon admitted their intelligence said it wasn't going to be flight ready for 3-5 more years. F35 was supposed to be in service years ago, and there is a whole conspiracy movement about Lockheed not getting the bid to build their version.

 

Its a miracle the plane turned out that good, but then again that is compared to the F16 which is pretty old by technological standards.

 

Its kinda scary how the US was SO awesome and advanced with the SR71, F15, F16, Stealth planes, and then the next generation there is so much crap going on no one can get the dang things built.

 

Some bureaucrats decide the money was better spent on server farms to violate civil liberty than get the military the gear it really needs.
