Turned all the lights on last night. After about five minutes the tree in front of the truck started to smoke

 

It’s worth the paycheck right now…

Wow that is a blast from the Past not for about 40 years.

 

Ha awesome to know it's been around for a long time. I saw someone IG going up it recently and was wondering the condition and legality

 

Since your on Power Transmission Line property you are technically trespassing so who can say it only takes one person to be stupid

 

Makes sense. Thanks!

 

My grandson dressed like an auto mechanic for Halloween, but all that I saw was Cooter from the Dukes of Hazard.

 

he needs the Michael mask

 

He was going to do that originally, then I said, just go as a mechanic with a ball cap. To be honest, all his friends had masks on to start and they all shed the mask within the first hour. They were either hot and sweaty or were having a difficulty seeing as they walked. It was in the mid 60s when they started.

 

good call. I’m surprised people wanted to wear masks anyway since we’ve been forced with them due to Covid. Your grandson is ahead of his time, and smarter than the rest of em!

 

Good morning fellow Pennsyltuckyvanians!!

Lynn and I are heading out to Pittsburgh for the weekend to meet up with my sister and brother in law.

Be safe!!

 

Enjoy the trip .

 

Love the bib!

 

Enjoy the city Mark. Unfortunately, it's going to be raining for much of the weekend. Get some good food while you are here. There are many great eateries, expensive ones and not so expensive ones.

 

Good morning.

 

Morning Pennsylvania

 

Morning Pa. Such a good day yesterday at the cabin. Didn't let an arrow fly, but saw many deer including the one I am after, too far out. My heart was thumping when he came into view! Sadly, will not get back over until next week. My head is clear, batteries recharged, just need to keep this mentality through the next seven point five hours and slide into the weekend. Pistols on the wheel drawing tonight, hoping for some luck! Happy Friday all!

 

Just a short list of things I just replaced within the last two days and I did the leafsprings last week. Truck rides like a dream now, no banging on every little bump (886's were way too stiff even with the steel bumper and 12.5k lb winch), the suspension actually moves like it should with the 887's. Haven't measured it yet to see what the lift is now but it looks to be exactly where I wanted it right around 1.75-2" like it was with the Baja suspensionon it. The 887's had 10k miles on them from being on @Armyhater458's truck with all the armor and weight on it so they are already broken in and settled.

CV axles, swaybar endlinks, Energy suspension poly swaybar bushings, outer tie rod ends, ECGS clamshell driverside axle bearing (easy enough job, placed the bearing in the freezer for half a day and went right in), SPC upper balljoints, passenger side ABS/wheel speed Sensor wire, OME 887's, cleaned and lubed front brakes/ caliper pins, new bolts on trans skidplate and front skidplates, welded bracket on trans skidplate, changed gear lube in front diff, replaced all rear axle studs and lugnuts, replaced rear leafsprings and built custom leafpacks with new center pins, new u-bolts, new carraige bolts, nuts and washers for Daystar cradles brackets.going to replace my rear brake shoes, hardware and drums soon, the shoes are pretty thin with 90k miles of Pittsburgh driving and towing/ hauling daily.













I bought a set of leafsprings from a 2021 tacoma dcsb trd offroad that just had a Torch Offroad single 1.5" add a leaf installed for $70, only had 500 miles on them. I also removed the Wheeler's 3 leaf add a leaf and installed the longest leaf from that in this pack. Rides really nice and hauls/ tows the weight perfectly. Barely had to ad 25lbs. of air pressure to the Firestone Ride Rite air bags when towing my wife's Aunt's 2005 Monte Carlo (with the old factory leafs and Wheeler's leaf pack I would've had to ad around 80lbs of air to get the truck to sit level.

Old setup..

 

Nice refresh/update.
