Has anyone heard anything from Shane?

 

That fit into the conversation quite well for sure. There's actually a limit for radiation exposure for a woman pregnant. And that's really no joking matter actually. The radiation has more effect on the unborn and younger children than adults.
There's a limit for all workers actually and administrative limits are usually one fifth of what the government allows.

 

Someone mentioned that he was just stepping back for awhile.

 

That's good to know. One of the reviews on Amazon said that they burned up two of the replacements until they bought a stator kit to go along with it. If it doesn't last I'll break out the factory service manual and look into that in more detail.

 

Something similar happened to a friend in his 1984 (I know it was one of the last solid axle truck so could have been a 85) he fell asleep and truck rolled forward into a lake. He woke up with water coming in and escaped out the rear sliding window.

 

I better get plucking some weeds. It's super nice weather for a few days here, much lower humidity.

 

If he is stepping back for a while, he should post just that on his, THIS thread. JMO.

 

Skid plates from the wife’s 4Runner I’m replacing before we sell it. Amazing what 10 years in Maine will do to a car.

 

On a related note.... just finished cleaning up after FFing... so much easier to do when it's hot out, instead of waiting 'til the end of October like I usually do...

 

Hope that is all.

 

I’m going to wool wax this one for the new owner plus figure out what to put on the new one. 2020 with 8700 miles I’d like it to last.

 

I vote for Cosmoline.

 

I was thinking cherry flavored ky

 

It taste nothing like cherry, trust me on this one. I'm somewhat of an expert

 

Might attract bees in the summer.

 

Last time I tasted it it was more like a girls a$$ -- wait, have I just said too much...

 

But think of the improvement in gas mileage

 

I removed ours before taking it to a shop for undercoat. (Mine I purchased the tin off craigslist, and fuel tank other) then I just coated those pieces separately before putting back on. Rust, yep it can destroy a vehicle even if the drivetrain has life left.

 

I hear people on here knock Ziebart but here's my experience; mid 70's Buick Regal I purchased used in the early 90's. You know how when you purchase or drive a vehicle you notice more of them? Well every single Buick, Monte Carlo, similar years was total rust bucket! That one I was driving was rock solid. Had Ziebart plugs throughout. The wifes 01 DC TRD OR, was Ziebart treatment a few days after purchase. When traded 10 years later that frame was rock solid.
That was the only Ziebart within 300 miles or more and the guy retired and closed shop. Now I take new vehicle to Ming. Ming not as good but better than nothing.

Edit to add, my grandfather used that same Ziebart dealer since the late 60's or early 70's I believe. His 77 Ford F150 sold for what he paid or more in like 1993. Stuff seems to work well for Nebraska road chemicals in winter.
