Cincinnati Area Thread (Tri-State, Ohio/Kentucky/Indiana)

Or did YOU actually get a bumper...


Sorry if you did...been drinking.

 

YES.... I DID! Its here....its really here!

 

My Pelfreybuilt was predrilled for Baja Designs S2 lights

 

If you can send hole measurements I can tell you if that is the correct light. Many are pre cut for that light.

 

For Proof...

 

I will admit that my Dad at 76 today was a better shot than me

 

Btw...my wife is home in Cincinnati and is a better shot and less tolerant of visitors than I am.

 

Noted. Don’t go near Ed’s house right now.

 

seriously, you’ve met her.

and briefly.

and I’m still unsure if you’re allowed back.


But if any of you go to steal the tractor, there is no oil in it due to the hydraulic pump leak so don’t start it.

 

Alright fellas, let's go get the tractor. Bring your arsenal

 

Hahaha, I’m just some random dude from the Internet who’s brakes didn’t want to cooperate...

 

I did actually leave a note on my tractor stating the non start condition just in case my flight south didn’t turn out as planned.

Sad that I’m now of age to consider such things.

truck keys are clipped to the dogs collar...good luck with those.

 

At least you flew south. I have to fly to NJ for work on Tuesday...

 

Yeah...but I have to drive back a bought car for my 16 year old daughter.

 

Ahh, well, still beats the Northeast. And always better to buy a used car from the south. Much less rust!

 

I've seriously considered looking for a beater while we are in Pensacola for our vacation this year.

 

Looking for y’alls opinion. I currently have OME rear leaf packs. Medium Heavy. I clean them out fairly regularly with a pressure washer. Not going to crazy with the pressure or a tip to small in size. I also grease them about every month or so. But these MFers will not stop squeaking. Not matter what I do now they never stop squeaking and it annoys the shit out of me and my OCD. I need a leaf pack that will give me a similar lift height but can also handle some weight. I pull a boat from about April to October/November and that is about to start happening again very soon. Just want y’all opinion on a good alternative rear spring that won’t sag to much

 

You may need to look into having custom packs built. I think there have been a few people who started with a Chevy leaf pack and modified it to fit and for their specific application. But I don’t know all the details...

I’ve also heard of people using bicycle tire inner tubes cut up and placed as “insulation barriers” between the leafs in the Dakar packs. You may want to research that to see if it would help with the squeak. You may not need new packs if you can find a way to safely keep them from rubbing against each other.

 

Mine squeak like hell too.

please report any permanent fix or replacement solution

 

will do sir.

That’s a good tip, I’ll look into that
