ok animal experts:

A couple months ago, just after sunset, I saw a large feline like animal in my back yard. It was about 60 yards away, in shadows, but it looked like it
a) was gray with darker spots (maybe evening shadows just made it look that way?)
b) had pointed, tufted ears (like an owl's face looking at you almost)
c) had massively thick front legs and paws. As big or bigger than my forearm and fists.
d) had a long thick tail with a blunt rounded tip.
e) shoulders/back looked to be in the 2-3 foot tall range when it walked. Long body and tail.

So, that's basically, head of a bobcat, body of a mountain lion.
Is it even plausible? Ideas?

There have been noticeably fewer small game animals in the yard these last few months too. (opossums, raccoons, etc.) So I do think there is a predator out there.

I've had a game camera out there since late August. I have seen fox, deer, coyote, 1 large raccoon, and a small unknown (walking away from camera) but nothing that looks like what I saw before.

This pic was dark but when I brightened it, there is something there. Short tail, white tip. Is that a bobcat? Still not what I originally saw due to the short tail but it would confirm big cats around.

Holy bob cat that’s a big boy! We had them at the farm in MO. However, that’s a big ass boy right there. Wouldn’t get close to that sum bitch. He looks massive!

So when gid puts someone in their place, yells at someone, or just goes on one of his little rants... Should we take bets on if he'll get banned for each one?

Been busy.

As to "put in my place". Eh. I haven't even had a chance to reply.

For the front and rear diffs on a first gen, do you have to change the crush washer and seals?

Edit: when you change the fluid lol

Grew up in East TN about 45 mins from Johnson City. Used to go to every home game. 25 rows up, 30 yard line. Out here in CO football isn't a religion, so I pretty much stopped following the Vols, but I always talk to my granddad about them. We don't get most of the games out here anyway, but I'm usually not around to watch even if we did.

I don't yell at people. Loud noises dont win fact based conversations, facts do. Duh!

Quit yelling at me!

So I've mentioned this in other treads but I'm working the weekend shift on 12s now, so I have off Monday through Thursday EVERY week. Anyone want to go wheel? Or have suggestions where I could go solo?
Black mountain was fun...

I'm living in springboro Ohio now. Between Dayton and Cincinnati

Noticed today, I am having some terrible bouncing on the front passege side wheel. It seems to be bouncing when braking at highway speeds. I'm assuming that a rotor could be warped. Any suggestions?

Only when braking? I think warped rotors is a pretty safe bet, I've had that happen to me a couple times

brhoton · Oct 14, 2017

Yes only happens when braking. Feels like the whole truck is going to fall apart because it bounces so bad.
