Nothing like having a good Cottonland meeting and pulling on you street to find a downed tree and power lines. Waiting for the OK front Entergy and then I’m dragging this big f-ing tree out the road so that I can go to bed.
That’s the idea. I thought about pulling the rear springs and setting it on the bump stops and installing the j’s up front and posting a pic just to troll the web-wheelers on mud but it was too much extra work. 😂
Doing a little bit of work on my 80 project I drug home a few months back. Now that it runs and drives and has functioning 4wd it’s time to start the build. I pieced together a lift consisting of Old Man Emu springs, 2850J front 2863 rear and a set of pro comp shocks that are similar length to...
Broke down a 21 pound Angus Chuck Roll today. Yielded 3 large roasts, 4 chuck eye(delmontico) steaks, a good sized sierra steak, 7 Denver steaks and a bunch of stew meat. Put all cuts in vacuum sealed bags aside from the Denver’s. Went ahead and seasoned them up with salt, pepper and garlic and...
Still on schedule to have a running 100 today. I completely dressed the engine on the engine stand and as of 5mins ago it is between the frame rails and bolted to the transmission.
Was ran out of oil due to massive leak from vvt system. Tried to save it but the damage was done when it arrived. When the wrecker dropped it off I added almost 6qts to it and it would run but sounded like a 12 valve Cummins. Took forever to find a replacement and finally found a reman. Should...
Yea it drains across the driveway so that’s not an option.
My set up is 2 tanks as well. Its aerobic system with an aerator in the first tank. In theory there shouldn’t be anything to plug the pump in the second tank but apparently something made it through the chlorinator. I’m going to write...
Surely a treatment plant effluent pump falls under appliances. Pump was replaced when we bought the house 4 years ago but quit spraying. What a fun and smelly job this was. Pump was cooked from intake being plugged. Tried to clean it up but it’s completely cooked. Can’t have a replacement until...
Valve cover gaskets. Oil is leaking on the exhaust manifold and cross-over pipe. You can try to snug down the 10mm bolts on the valve cover and see if that takes care of it or slows it down. If not replace the valve cover gaskets.
I think my zero turn was designed by Chrysler, in order to replace the transmission drive belt and cooling fan I had to remove the transaxle. So much for quick and easy.
Nothing more satisfying than gutting the interior out of a nasty truck and throwing it in the trash. Have to put a windshield in it and run channels for the windows then can get @dnp to order me a carpet kit.
May I propose option D
Keep the 13 sell the Volvo while it’s worth $25kish and buy an inexpensive driver for your wife while you continue to save and wait for a Sequoia. Depending on what inexpensive driver you get for your wife you will be able to sell it for pretty close to what you purchased...
She’s filthy but is running smooth on all 6 cylinders. Good oil pressure and no overheating, even has working air conditioning 😁. Time for a serious bath/degreasing and I will be able to see what I got and figure out what direction I will go.
Had a fun adventure today. Went to look at a white 96 80 that @dnp found on Craigslist. It is overwhelming disgusting, not running and sitting on 4 flats. DNP passed on it so I negotiated a deal that included the exchange of $100 bills and beer. So now I have a new addition to the heard. Tag...
