    The Talon. Gonna slowly ween it to full synthetic, but for now it'll get that Rotella. Takes about 4.5 quarts so it'll get 1/2 a quart of Rislone to help clean it up. I think after this short run it's gonna get Rotella T6 5w40 for its final years.

    Another good one is M1 HM 5/30. Great cleaner and a really heavy 30. Comes in at a 11.9 @ 100°C.

    And I wouldn't hesitate to use Valvoline Maxlife Blend 10/40 either

    I'll have to assess how much it uses oil for the definitive decision. The mountain has a way of telling you. The catalytic converter is gutted so running T6 or something high in zinc or phosphorus isn't an issue...

    Picking it up and doing the title work tomorrow. They got their stuff out of it today. Gotta swap radios out for them when I get it, but I do get to keep the circa 2005 sub/amp setup :laugh:

    If you ever want more bump in the trunk, I've got two Rockford Fosgate P2 12's in a ported box with matched amp ~800 watts. Not doing anything with them besides collecting dust after having them in my old civic for a year.

    Funny. This was the scene for two full days while camping evidently the color scheme meant my truck was a threat...17A9EC1B-045B-4C5A-9046-D580BFFC59C5.jpg

    Does it have to be a heavyweight blanket to help take out the resistant out of the strap?

    The root ball must be about 5 ft under the dirt.

    It thought about it if the house wasn't a foot away.

    If the strap break it could easily break a window or damage the house.

    Yea definitely need to think this one out.
    When I pull stumps I use the weight of the truck to assist.
    Not to overpower.
    Some light pulls and keep tension then go around and relieved tension with shovel or ax.
    Couple more and repeat.
    Patients is a virtue in this situation.

    This is how I tear down trees. I have someone climb up, I don't like heights.

    Tie a rope to the tree, then to either a vehicle or another tree with slight tension. This way the tree will fall in the same direction as the tension is pulling. If all goes well no one gets hurt.

    I had a few close calls already. :D No comments.
