Northwestern Wisconsin Camping, Fishing, Trail Riding, and other fun stuff. Just bring bail money!

Well, with enough grease, you might make it through the day...
I'd still replace it though.

 

We keep plenty of spare parts around for this 24yr old beast.
Just bought a whole used folder and 2 printing units from a place getting rid of theirs. For spare parts.

 

We bought a spare used platemaker for the same reason.

 

That's where the manufacturer gets ya.
Not very often can we find aftermarket parts and the man's price is through the roof.
That gear that went out on the K unit is a 30k gear. Luckily we found a shop to make one for 17k.

Edit: I don't think the boss man paid more than 30k for that used folder and 2 units.

 

A little brisk out this a.m.

72 taps?!
This would've been right up my alley.

 

The full skid pkg has certainly settled the truck, some.
Doesn't seem to have lost any lift but the cv's had one inner and outer boot rib barely rubbing.
Now they are not and there is actually a slight gap.

 

Now, add a winch/bumper and see what happens...

 

Nothing those MT64's can't handle.
Need to get weight figured out because the clip settings on them go by weight and not height. I believe it only offers the 4004 part # spring (590#) for everything and the weight compensations are made with clip settings.
Not sure if they can be adjusted after installation without having to take them all apart.

I never measured before I put the 2.5" blocks in. According to stock spec I only gained 2" off them (before skid pkg).
So I was already sagging 1/2" in front.

I'm at 2" maybe just under and I like it there.

 

Since joining T.W.............
Not in photo are sway bar, eng./trans. splash guards, old nerf bars,taillights, tailpipe, mudflaps, spare tire hoist and a couple other odds 'n ends I don't know the proper name of.

 

Thingamabobs, widgets, and whozits I think

 

The u-bolts should be tossed in the scrap pile, never a good idea to reuse u-bolts.

 

Reuse? I wouldn’t do that.
I have this hard time throwing things out right away because they might come in handy for something else.
I just don't know what, yet.

 

Oh, your one of those guys!

 

Agreed

 

Aren’t we all?

 

When I saw this I couldn't help but think. @pearing knows that trail...

 

stupendous observation

 

You mean I've never shown you my drawer of old and new doorknob and deadbolt parts?

 

Yea... I do. So this is a whole nother page for Wisconsiners to hang out on?
