Shop Time w/T.W. Friends. Where is your wallet…..poll

5160?

 

Not sure about the grade, the lathe guy made new bushings for them and tried to bore them, that was a no go with a carbide insert.

 

We always had the can not to cook with but to drain the fat nothing messes drain fields or french drains like fat

The drained fat went out for the birds who loved it .

If Mom used Bacon Fat to cook it was after the bacon was removed the home fries went in .

 

My dad has always used the bacon fat to cook eggs in after cooking the bacon, a little was alright but too much and you better find a spot to poop before lunch

 

The Tacoma I bought is much worse yet I drive as needed the 20 mile round trip to the grocery store .

The vertical crack bothers me is it both sides?

 

One more done he was hefty

 

Talking about Bacon now This I guess I pushed Lunch off to long !

Canadian Bacon and Swiss Cheese.

Where that name comes from I gotta wonder

 

Looking at the colour of the metal, I'm thinking 'induction heater'.

 

It's C channel right there and from as far as I can tell, the top and bottom of the C is still intact.

 

Good afternoon Creed and Company

 

How’s retired life going?

 

This is my retired life -- nice cup of tea in the garage.
Found the rocker on the side of the road with a free sign -- nice chair, built like a brick outhouse.

 

You have no strength there.

 

I know. Still gotta drive it though.

Looking at an '06 T4R or an '11 DCSB.

 

I advise against it.
I don’t want to say I told you so when your ass falls off

 

Oh, I figure so. But then ins will total it and I can part out the rest.

 

Just keep it under 150…

 

Back in my very poor days I "fixed" the frame on my creaky old 7 cylinder Wagoneer with a one speed 1/4" drill with no reverse, a hacksaw and an old bed frame.

And about fifty 1/4" bolts...

 

Gotta agree - I'm very much a 'Hold my beer and watch this' sort of person, but that frame is putting you, anyone in the truck with you, and anyone on the road around you at risk. Given the level of compromise there, and likely more that can't be seen, even a panic stop in traffic could be problem.
