I remember those days. My father was on the Red Line for years out of Ashmont

 

Why shouldn't you have a Christmas (yes Mike I said it) Tree

 

Well I'm the only one in the house now. My 2 sisters 35 and 33 are not living in the house and I don't get gifts now since my rents think I'm too old lol so what's the point. All this work for a tree. Yeah you might think I'm crazy but that's just how I think about it/

 

Fair enough. I would still put up the tree and light it up but thats just me. I enjoy X-mas with family and friends and its not about the gifts. I have to say that today is a favorite cause no stress, drama or bullshit compared to x-mas

 

Happy Thanksgiving !!!

Going to my brothers new house for his 1st try at Thanksgiving Day Meal...

Will be a little rough .....1st Holiday since my Dad passed...

Remember to give a HUG to everyone you LOVE since LIFE can pass in the BLINK of an eye....even a great 81 years !!!!

 

Yeah we have to put up the tree and lights my mom said. My dad and me could care less haha. My dad said who the hell cares, just plug lights and out the on the floor and lay them out and your all good haha. He is too funny. I love this holiday cause all you have to do is cook and that's it.

 

Happy thanksgiving guys. Here's some Jamaican Toyotas from our trip.

 

I'll be getting my tree in a week or so, really enjoy the process plus my cats would be heartbroken if I didn't.

 

That's Christmas for me1

I'm working,thank god!

We're going to cut one down this year,anyone know a good place?

God bless him! Have a great day and he'll be there in spirit.

 

Im looking at a floor jack on sale at harbor freight. 3 ton "rapid pump" maximum saddle height is 18 1/4" it is only $70 bucks. Think i would be alright with this jack?

 

Hey guys. Might have enough money for the sliders. I'll know tonight for sure.


Couple questions. I know there is 6 orders now , can I still put my name on the list and ship it with the pallet. I think there can be 8 orders in a pallet right? And with the bolt on sliders, can I Just bolt them on now and not drill into the frame into spring and still use them fine? They won't fall out lol.

 

You can use just the factory holes but they wont hold the weight of the truck. So before you go bouncing off of rocks you need to drill the rest of the holes. You should pm jerry about the amount of sliders on one pallet. He has told other people that he can fit 6 pairs on one pallet, but i think he told mike that he can fit 8. I think he can fit them, none of us that i know ordered powdercoated sliders, the powdercoated sliders take up more room because they have more packaging. But PM him because bolt on also take up more room and i think most of us ordered bolt on.

 

Up in Maine for turkey day with the family, got bored of sitting around after I made some pies, so I went adventuring and found some awesome trails that follow some powerlines. They go on for miles, and are a little challenging... It started to get dark, and I needed to put gas in before I went further in but eventually they lead to some gravel access roads (I looked on google maps when I got back) good for going fast, maybe get a little sideways tomorrow I'm going to make a day of it. Anyone near rockland?

 

got my sliders yesterday! gotta throw some paint on 'em and get some grade 8 hardware to bolt them on with! gonna be a busy couple days off next week!

 

Yes to all of the above. You can still fit on the pallet it does hold 8 if they are raw stock no powder coating,you can just bolt them on and drill when the weather is better or we all get together and lastly no they should not fall off

 

Sounds ok I just have an issue with their tools not very impressive, but in theory it sounds fine

 

Ya i know the quality is pretty bad there. I have actually not been able to find any bad reviews about floor jacks from harbor freight, bad reviews about alot of other tools from there. I am the same way, i dont even like to buy tools from home depot, but those are the tools i use everyday.

 

Evan check sears I have had one of their jacks for atleast 20 years. http://www.sears.com/tools-mechanics-auto-tools-lift-equipment-jacks/s-1021324

 

Thanks guys for the infor. Greatly needed. I pm"d Jerry and 8 sliders can go on a a peice of wood at once. So it looks like I will order them tonight and will update the list. Yes!!!!!!!!!!

 

Good for you Miguel. Did you have to sell your soul to come up wiyh the cash
