    Just got home from Baltimore. Wife’s tripping balls cause my truck is broken. I get home. All my light bars are flickering. I’m like ok. That’s fucking cool. What the hell. Pop open my hood and there’s a goddamn squirrel looking at me. If I’d had a suppressor on my pistol there would have been blood. But nonetheless, Fucker built a nest in my truck over the weekend. And decided to eat my switchpro harness. Just finished up putting everything back together. Looks like that’s all he got. Any tricks to preventing this again? Other than you know impaling every squirrel I see and hanging it off my truck?

    For a corded I got a Makita and it was solid for the money. Felt and sounded like it had good bearings and was balanced.

    Drive the truck more :notsure:

    Thought I herd mothballs wound help. The problem is the wire you installed must have had a soy part in the jacketing. And being fresh wire they spell it and think it’s food. Same think happened to my truck when I first did the swap

    Check the wires that run from the top rear of the engine back to tranny/ tcase....

    I read that and read things against it. I also read about the soy in the wires which had me nervous

    I think the soy part you just need to keep the truck moving, for a week/month. Don’t let it sit in the same spot long.
    It’s purely the newness of the wire

    My truck has been sitting at the house here for a few days at a time and I now there are a lot of rabbits around but the smell must have worn off by now.

    I have a dewalt that I work the shit out of. Had it a few years now. Still tearing shit up. I know I need to order bushing for it though so I can rebuild it after this cage project.

    Does anyone here play PUBG?

    I haven't played video games in nearly 15 years (with the exception of busting out the Nintendo with my GF and daughter and playing Mario Bros). But my brother and his kids got me hooked.
