    Oh I know...
    You have to start by hand.
    Fine thread is not very forgiving. Lol
    I just put the front in a few turns and then use the bolt as a pivot to get the other one in.
    Everyone does it different.
    As long as it's right when it's done it doesn't matter.

    spit is nothing... try getting a "$h!t shake" or blood all over you when responding to a cutter.. then being told " you cant sleep with your wife/GF for 6 months while you are being tested for Herpagonasyphillis" wipe it off.. and be sure to wash your face with antibacterial soap... maybe even a little hand sanitizer (actual alcohol, not that BS stuff they give us in prison) I'd still think about a bleach shower when you get home though....

    :wave: what’s up y’all? Maine is supposed to be my home for the next 3-6 months.

    First question is... should I drive my dually or 4Runner? What’s the wheeling and daily life like up there?

    @weldertaco

    4 runner, lots of narrow roads, and such.. duellys are only good on the highway... around town the narrow roads, sharp turns.. just easier IMHO. and easier to miss all the frickin potholes.... ffs local roads are horrble here on the midcoast... supposedly the paving companies are going to be busy this year resurfaceing a BUNCH of roads this summer.

    Because they've all gone to hell with this freeze-thaw-rain-freeze-thaw cycle we've had this winter. Route 132 from Monmouth to Sabattus looks like it got bombed; there's holes down through three layers of pavement into the road bed in some places.

    been driving all over the lower half of the state for work... know all about it... have a hole at the entrance to my work (Maine State Prison- Warren) that could swallow a small car.. saw a vehicles/trucks bump-stop laying next to the puddle it is... heard one co-worker hit it & blew out a tire...

    What do you do for work? If you dont need the truck, Id probably run the 4Runner just because it would be more fun (IMO).

    Wheeling options are around if you want to drive a bit. Lots of dirt roads to the North. Bangor is pretty centrally located so thats nice. Also if youre only going to be here during the summer, snow wont be much of an issue for you

    If you're used to Texas weather, bring a sweater or two. We're still below freezing overnight, with highs in the 30's and 40's at the moment.

    Can you do pharma thin wall tube? Let me know if you're ever looking around for work.


    And bring your dually only if it's got a Lincoln classic or a big blue on back :D

    I can learn! The whole reason behind buying the dually was with intent to put a Lincoln behind it soooooo!

    Probably a vantage tho :anonymous:

    On a sunny day that's shirtsleeve weather for this time of year. :notsure:

    I was just wearing a flannel and jeans this Sunday, but to be fair it was around 50.

    And it'll be warming up more soon, but we usually still have frost in the mornings until the end of May or so.
