    Just enough to look kinda cool.
    Towed a Ram 1500 out of a ditch on the way to work. He had swerved off the road avoiding an elk that ran across the road.

    Unable to pick up the sign. Would've been too dangerous. After I hit it, it flew over my truck into the center of the highway.

    No, I think he was going pretty slow and he got his passenger tires off the road in the snow and with his inexperience of off road snow driving he slid in, because the wheel marks suggested he slid in sideways parallel to the road.

    And nobody was stopping to check on him so I stoped and offered a shovel and a tow.

    Archivegarage website: The cross tube DOES add an additional improvement in ride quality (~10-20% of hanger improvement), because it connects the 2 hangers and frame rails together which adds torsional rigidity. This also protects the frame from stress applied to one hanger like rock hits.

    Sounds like a great thing to add. Are there any downsides to this modification? Less flex off-road?

    Made a homemade ghetto power tank. Will it kill me? I'm sure someone will say yes it will. Fills up a 265 tire from 0 to 32psi in 1 min 20 secsIMG_20190110_104319736.jpg

    Yeah it can do four tires 15 psi each comfortably. Haven't tried it more than that since I got it just for myself. Others can borrow my air compressor if they need air

    Cali Raised Side Shooters arrived today. Someday when it's warmer than 10 degrees I'll get them on. What do people use for security bolts on these?

    Did a drain and fill (radiator and both engine block drain plugs) today, and also replaced my thermostat. Fixed my over heating issues! I’m thrilled to say the least. Such an easy job too.
