Xado89 · Aug 24, 2012

Skeletoes FTW! I have a pair too, love em! haha

The Chech · Aug 24, 2012

Haha yeah there amazing I'm already on my second set

The Chech · Aug 27, 2012

Well today was a kinda of busy day got a few small things done finally got around to fixing my Upper A arm that was outta wack, and made some tree cutters for those tights trails I always seem to find myself on some how. (pics below)

Sorry for upside down picture didn't realize it till it was all said and done

And I finally got the sticker (was about time....) *edit took me long enough to buy not the shipping, took like 3 days

Xado89 · Aug 29, 2012

Like the tree cutters, looks sick, and I've been taking a long time with purchasing my XN sticker too, deciding which design I actually want! haha It'll be on there soon though!

bigjim247365 · Aug 29, 2012

tree cutters! thats what those things are called! i havnt seen an X rock those in a long time.

The Chech · Aug 29, 2012

Only seen one other with them and they'll be worth it around my area nothing but tree and vines at the local trails. Just debating whether I should paint them or not they seem a little flashy.

Kris&HerX · Aug 29, 2012

Following good ole RedX huh? lol I call them limb risers.... cause that's pretty much the purpose. You don't want to "cut" the trees. Tread Lightly

The Chech · Aug 29, 2012

But it doesn't flow off the tongue

lol. But no I got the coated cable so it wouldn't cut into them just push them out of the way of my wind shield and antenna.

Kris&HerX · Aug 29, 2012

Well yeah, I know that silly.

The Chech · Sep 5, 2012

So over labor day week end decided to go on the small trail near my father house while I was down there and ended up in a bowl of muck

to make things worse we had the worst flash flood in that area in like a good 8+ years so it ended up sinking....

had to wait several hours till my buddy and his Cherokee came and for the monsoon to stop was an interesting afternoon....

Macland · Sep 5, 2012

It's so green there!

That's pretty stuck.

The Chech · Sep 5, 2012

I have to say that's one of the worse holes I've ever been in

Xado89 · Sep 6, 2012

I found a similar hole once with my Old Nissan Hardbody haha, The ruts were too deep and I got stuck on my chasis had to wait for my buddy to come get me.

Ohh and I found a good Hole with my Old truck

This guy is on an 8 inch lift with 37 inch trail grapplers too btw and those things are gone.

It's fun getting stuck in a way because you find out what you and your rig can handle, glad you got out ok though buddy and nothing went wrong, seen some bad snatches round here.

I've got a big 250 stuck like that while at work one time. Those things have absolutely no torque to get it rocking when stuck.

The Chech · Sep 6, 2012

Yeah I would never try and drive though a hole like that. Mud destroys things, and that gets expinsive

Xado89 · Sep 6, 2012

I love mud, That ford and a Chevy I owned were cleaned for like 6 hours after those trips, making sure everything was spotless again. The ford got stuck because I dropped down into some ruts from a dodge 3500 on tractor tires, lol

The Chech · Sep 7, 2012

Yeah that would definitely get you stuck for awhile going into a rut that big lol

The Chech · Sep 7, 2012

Well I finally got tired of the porn star stance the X had so i got around to fixing that problem and removed the smallest AAL

The Chech · Sep 9, 2012

[video=youtube_share;OqXD6AU6N38]http://youtu.be/OqXD6AU6N38[/video]

Testing out my new dash mount to take videos seems to work well.

Kris&HerX · Sep 10, 2012

Ohhhhhhhhhhh Channel 96.1 how I miss thee! I wish I had a mount for a dash cam!

The Chech · Sep 10, 2012

Well I used my iPhone and bought a 4$ window mount surprised how sturdy it was after dropping into the rut

And Kristen who's Rancho shock got melted yours or Emily's?

Timrich · Sep 11, 2012

Nice quick vid! Turned out great!

The Chech · Sep 11, 2012

More to come tomorrow

The Chech · Sep 12, 2012

Videos uploaded brought my friend along for your entertainment as well hope you like lol (*No friends where hurt during the making of these films*)

Link to the new ones --http://www.youtube.com/user/chechnicov?feature=mhee

The Chech · Sep 18, 2012

Emily's. I wish I had ranchos!

The Chech · Sep 18, 2012

You never did fix the one in the rear that you said was broken did you?

The Chech · Sep 19, 2012

Well the rain finally stopped so work could be done. Got some new Duralast brake pads and started taking apart the steering as a whole since its gotten old and worn out. But i have to say it was a lot easier then I thought it would be every thing popped right out as it should. Just wish other things could have been this simple.....

And is anyone running these pads?

And i was really surprised how easy it all went together

Old steering link

Xado89 · Sep 20, 2012

Looks good buddy, great video. exceptional quality, but then phones outdo the actual product these days heh. Ohh I find the bad spots to, don't worry. haha previous pictures from truck sunk in hole =P

Kris&HerX · Sep 21, 2012

The Chech said:

Nope, I haven't been able to. Both the rear shocks are pretty worn which is crazy considering all shocks aren't that old.

And as far as the Duralast brakes go, I think that's what I have on my truck. Did you get them with the lifetime warranty? If not take them back, go to AutoZone and get a set of those. As long as you have the vehicle you'll never have to pay for another set of brake pads.

The Chech · Sep 21, 2012

Yeah thats where I got them. And how does that work life time warranty on pads? I mean they don't last forever (just really really long). And have you looked at rock auto for shocks there really cheap there like 20$ and since you said yours are failing :S

Kris&HerX · Sep 21, 2012

Whenever the pads are done (worn), just take them back in for an exchange. Keep the receipt. They'll do all the paperwork and you'll have a new set. =) They don't switch from car to car (that's how they make their money because most people don't keep their cars longer than a couple of changes of the pads).

The Chech · Sep 21, 2012

Ohhh now that makes sense but that's cheap 34$ for pads for the life of the truck that's not bad at all

Kris&HerX · Sep 22, 2012

Yep, My dad used to work for AutoZone, and made sure that I knew what stuff like that meant. Best of luck buddy.

The Chech · Sep 24, 2012

Me and my buddies truck where the only ones at the local car meet this time

(they took a picture while I was yawning....>.> )

Kris&HerX · Sep 24, 2012

You know I would have been there. With Jenny. On the roof.

=( Guess I'll just have to show up in my mom's convertible Volvo while I'm home for Christmas.

The Chech · Sep 25, 2012

Lol I won't be here for any holidays. Leaving in 3 weeks for Recruit training so it might be a long time before I make it back to Charlotte for any of the car meets but 2 days before I leave I'm going to uwharries fall jamboree for one last ride. It's gonna be make it or break it weekend I plan on come home with some thing broken

Kris&HerX · Sep 28, 2012

Oh yeah, I just read that on your bookOFfaces. Good luck buddy.

The Chech · Oct 5, 2012

Finally got rid of this old thing just wouldn't making the cut
