Ribs coming off chicken going on

 

Ahhh, fair - I'd say you nailed it (I'm a cornbinder guy, so my knowledge of JD is a thin, at best).

 

That is friggin' awesome!

 

Negative. You need it powder coated.

They don't even need to ask what color. They know what to do.

 

They always know what to do.

 

Oh boy...routine maintenance on wifes 2013 Tacoma, while changing gear oil in front differential, before buttoning it up I moved the driver side axle and sure enough, it's time for that bushing job

 

I forgot to mention when I change the spark plugs a couple weeks ago, I looked at that air pump filter and it didn't look dry or degraded any so I just put it back in. Took a little bit of debris off the inlet side first. Just shelved that uni-filter for now.

 

Well, well, well. Looky what I found.

 

11 hours 34 minutes. Done!

 

They always show play on the drivers side….

 

Chased the Boston butt with this that a friend brought over lastnight

(My kids call her grandma, she is no relation but acts like their grandma. They call her husband grandpa and we eat with them in the store every Saturday evening)

 

From what I just read on ECGS website ,the passenger side is different so I assume a spherical roller bearing as opposed to the needle bearings. I just hope nothing is wollered out when I get it apart. Got the parts ordered (ordered a seal and a t-shirt too). $114.00

 

Do you need the puller tool? I ended up with 2. I bought one cheap, then got a deal on a bearing, seal & puller as a package deal.
If you need it shoot me your address and I’ll send it your way.

 

Wish I had some smoker skill

 

sometimes those type people are better than blood relatives

 

That's super nice of you to offer Greg, fortunately I wrote down the dimensions someone posted in a different thread where ill be able to make one. Keep it for someone who might not have the ability to make one, but thank you for offering. Hope Father's Day is good for everyone.

 

I kind of figured you had a home made one in the works!

Looks like everyone is having a great Father’s Day from what I can tell! Chicken and ribs are just about to come off of the smoker.

Buttoned up the winch project. Still have a couple small things to address but shouldn’t be too bad. With the removal of the factory crash bar the lower bumper valance has nothing to attach to, so I need to make up some brackets to support it again.

 

Nice!
