Builds Jacks 40 to fake 45 build

Did you pick up the "Warn" heater blower as well?

With the heavy spare tire carrier and tire tight against the plate only worries are cracks on the mounting on the tub and wear on latch assembly.

Yes I did. I needed a better blower motor for this truck.

You have no need for spare T case housing or AA adapter? I really don't need either but may get them. Can put AA adapter with the one I believe is for a 350 auto. Somebody may need one someday.

 

[JackA]

I have no need for that adapter.

Headed to the mountains today. We helped a friend cut down a couple dead Ponderosa pines on his property. Even used the olde timey 2 man cross cut saw to do the cut after cutting a large wedge out the opposite side.

Then we went and explored a few areas of interest. The mine site required more hiking than we planned, so we bailed on that spot for now.

We did find a cool a abandoned homestead up on a hillside. It wasn't super old judging by some materials on site, but was built in an older style with log skin siding. They had a great view out the front door too.

The front door view.....the critters have been enjoying this place

Cool old ass tire. Then cruising home. Stopped back at the tree cutting fest and got some wood for the home fire pit.

Cool old Cat grader and my small wood haul.

Guess I'm old school (I am old) or over OHSA trained by the mechanical contractors I worked that all the safety equipment comes out with the chainsaw.

Really goes back even further. The owner of the Travel All was my ex's best friend's husband.

This is a area we take the dogs to run. He told me a friend of his was killed in the area while cutting wood. Chainsaw had bucked back and cut open his head. This was back in the 1970s before chainsaws had chain brake.

Been driving a 45 for almost 25 years, at 6’2” 265! No wonder you stretched the cab, that extra few inches is a game changer!!

Whitey 45 might like this !
