He wants a 4th gen v8 though.

 

what did the fluid look like.

 

Your truck has diarrhea? And you got a bucket?

 

This hoodie is amazing. You can dress it up, or down, makes a great fashion statement, and also works fabulously as a blanket/snuggie while sleeping on the flight home. I'm trying to recover from only getting like 8 hours of sleep total the past four days lol

 

Little on the dark side but it didn't look as bad as I was expecting. A little residue on the magnet but nothing out of the norm. I'm glad it's finally done.

 

I have a few bins that are still always being adjusted. One for kitchen stuff, aluminum foil, plates, soap, silverware, CAN Openers, pans, etc.

Another for dry food and condiments.

Another for camping related stuff... Hammock, sandals or crocs for easy on around camp, spare stuff (toothbrush, tp, etc).

I have a 20 degree mummy bag from dicks, dunno what brand, and recently picked up a nicer - 20 or 30 bag. With bags, make sure to not leave them in the compression sacks when not in use. Also the bag liners are a cheap way to keep the inside a little cleaner. They have double bags, and ones that you can zip apart to be two single bags.

I grabbed a little mr buddy style heater that runs off the camp stove canisters... I only use it to heat things up at night or in the morning for a minute but they sure are nice.

Also make sure you have first aid and fire starting stuff. Cheap and easy fire starters i use are cotton balls with vaseline. Put both in a ziploc and swish them around. Take out and light and they'll light even if wet and last a while.

Extra light for the tent... I like to have an extra small bag just for the tent that has stuff i may need at night, little tp, hand warmers, sandals, socks, just to always throw in the tent and if i need it it's in there instead of getting out to find something.

 

That is good to hear. Ya I am glad you did too.

 

Ha! No, haven't changed my diff oil at all since I had the truck. A few guys know this. I just posted that I finally did it.

 

Another thing I went to put the 1.25 spidertrax spacers on today and found out that my new wheels are to thick for the studs that are pressed in. I also called spidertrax and they said they don't have longer studs to be pressed in. I would have to press out the old studs drill out the hole and press in a new longer stud. To much work and possibly ruining a perfectly good set of spidertrax.

 

enough with the rain.
grass needs cut again.

 

Say what? How are the wheels too thick? I need more explanation here. It does not compute.

 

His wheels are too thick for the studs on the spacers. So he can't get the lug nuts on.

 

Yes Mr. Clean I got that part. But the studs on the spacer should have the same amount of usable thread as the stock studs on the hub. So if the wheel fits on the stock hub then it should work with the spacer.

 

@SilverGhost

You might need ET Lug nuts to get a little more grab on the wheel stud.

I knew my wheels where thicker so I replaced my studs with extended Dorman studs. So I don't have stock studs on the truck anymore.
I went to put the spacer on and checked it with the wheel. My nut was only able to grab 2-3 treads. I still had a lot of treads left in the nut. I should of took pics. I also can't run ET nuts either because of the way the lug nut sits in my wheel. The lug nut has to be an acorn shape taper with 60*. The ET lug nuts are not a acorn seat. I have a full set of ET lug nuts in the garage.

 

I have them already. Bought them a long time ago but they are just sitting int he garage.

 

What's preventing you from putting the longer studs in the spidertrax? I've never pulled one of mine out, but they look just like standard studs pressed in there.

 

Labor.
