Talk About Anything Thread V1

Usually don't get enough sleep, so getting to sleep isn't an issue. Staying awake is sometimes though.

Noticed we dont have one of these i decided to brew one up for general babbling and discussion about whatever the F youre thinkin' about.

Right now im.... Thinkin' about how i go about building a 10' river running jet boat. Would be interesting to play with aluminum



And always checking out forums for my dream build...

im just gonna leave this here....

That is the best thing Beltran has and will ever make.

Probably.

Could probably swing one of these before a $50k rock bouncer

Right at this moment, I don't think I really have any random thoughts. But I'll be checking back in soon I'm sure.

Ah random thoughts. I have plenty of them! The other day I was dreaming about a off-road steam mower and an amphibious tractor.

Here's my random thought. Blown big block tank!!! I want one but can't afford to buy it. SO I'LL JUST BUILD ONE EVENTUALLY!!!!  HAHAHAHAHHA!!!!!

WOW! That tank looks cool. Especially love that last picture boy

That is the tank the Howe brothers built for the movie Mad Max Fury Road. Too bad it only had a small part in the movie. Here's a link with them testing it out before shipping it.

They have more cool videos on there facebook, just follow the page to there videos.

I remember them guys on tv. Man they must be some smart dudes, all of that is top quality designs out of thin air stuff. Wish i could drive one.

Nother thought. Ill get this for the truck. Some day....

They do pretty good at building stuff, but it's not out of thin air, they been working on there tanks for a while even before the show. I think it takes both of them to do what they do.

Nice gearbox, I kinda like a manual trans too, even got a 4 speed setup for my jeep in the basement just waiting, but it gets old real quick. Don't get me wrong, learned how to race with them just fine, can even shift them without using a clutch but I love my trusty 3 speed 727 torque flight with shift kit just fine.

More thoughts. Id love one of these. stock 4x4 height and pizza cutters. Coolest crew cab ever imo. Right behind 67-72 ford crews.


And a chevy luv. Dang mini trucks are sweet. To bad they are so hard to find.

Those Chevy Luv trucks was always hard to get. Always heard stories on people putting 350's in them and racing them on the street. If you had a little money, you would put a 396 or 454 in it and take it to the drag strip. Now a days, it's the S10.

Haha that double cab is so cool. Couldn't you just chop a regular truck up and make it a mini?

Like chop it 4 ways? Lol. Most people dont understand it but you just have to sit in one and understand how it feels. just different, not like a ranger feel either. typically they arnt super expensive here when they pop up though, a roller usually just over 2k.

Chop it lengthways and across. Would be quite neat to di.

Sounds like a ton of work. might look goofy too.

So i have class at 7:45, but thats at the separate technical campus, and live at main campus. Its about a 25 min drive. left at 6:55 and roads were crazy. almost ditched it once. Was pretty surprised classes wernt canceled. Welp, show up to shop and someone says they just got a email saying classes are canceled. Well that dont help when we are all here now! Geez.

That doesn't make no sense. Cancelling at the last minute I mean.

Yeah might look a wee bit butchered.

Hey guys just out of curiosity who else here can solve a 3x3 Rubik's cube?

I used to have most of the patterns memorized, just needed to look up the flips and twirls at the end. I probably couldn't get the first 2 rows anymore.

I couldnt solve a rubiks cube if my life depended on it lol

It's easy, all you gotta do is peel the stickers off and replace them.

That's the way I have to solve them. There is a kid at work who can solve one in 15 seconds, even if we take it and screw it up where he can't see what we did.

I got one from work once. Was a promo thing from a company we buy from. Had their logo in each tile on one side, white on the other, and 4 red sides. I turned it like 3 times and got it all messed up.
