What did you do to your pig today?

[samc2447]

Looks like the nut on that pin retainer bolt is a couple threads away from being lost forever

 

[sofj45]

Yeah I think those threads are what we call permanently stripped into place. You missed the pin for the thumb hanging halfway out though. She’s an abused machine but still starts and does what I need to do.

I cleared 44 acres in Badtrop Texas after a 2011 wildfire. John Deere forever

Picked up nice 60x66 conferr rack I’ve kept at wife’s uncle for last 3 years. Also have 4 original brackets in excellent shape.

I’d like to put some wood slats in bottom of it and I swear I saw a beautiful restoring of the floor on a thread years ago.

Then it scares me to death to attach anything like this to Bonnie or Clyde’s drip rails.

Anyone put a Conferr on their pig?

Mine came with one. Have not had any issues in over a year, but my drip rails are surprisingly not very rusty.

Replaced my slave cylinder... it was pretty toast looking. It went from slightly damp to refilling the master every time I went for a drive.

Drove a friend to lunch and put in a bottle of Sea Foam into the gas tank before giving it 10 gallons of premium. She starts under the knife for some refresh and resto next month. Trying to keep a running list of what’s known, not known and needed.

Got a compliment at both stops… both folks knew it was a Land Cruiser, I was shocked.

Spontaneous Thursday afterwork camp trip.
Back Friday by noon.
Took the FJ55 out to fisher camp on antelope creek and spent the night with Sara and her two dogs.
It was good, didn't see another soul until we got back to paved road.
I took the Durley flat Heep on the way back and got Sara all excited (terified) because we drove through a washout. (Didn't even need to lock the hubs)
We made it back in time for chesters Vet appointment this afternoon.

I freaking love my old landcruiser.
Its got its problems but none of them stop me from enjoying it at a moments notice.

Good times.
Im at a place in life where id rather put gas in the landcruiser and go somewhere than spend money and time bolting more crap to it....

It's a shame you can't do both.

I’d rather be in a place in life where I wasn’t sitting there comparing what I do to what other people do on this forum with every post I make.

You need to drink more before posting. That way:
1) you don't care what you post.
B) you don't remember what you posted.
Works for me. YMMV

What you mean! Every time I start a pig project I compare my goals with what guys do?! Am I being pooey? Have I tried hard enough? They did it. I can do it….at least try to!

That comparison makes me better then I was yesterday!!!

Keep on being comparative! Hopefully there will always be someone that you can hold up to comparison! For me…..with this site…I have a wealth to choose from!!!!

You? Maybe less to choose from.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Pighead made a good suggestion, as well. dDrink more before posting. I have long used that strategy!!!

 

[Pighead]

Moments ago: superbrite LEDs in back...
Amber and red to match the Aussie taillight lenses, white for the back-ups. Made a socket cleaning tool, rinsed out the insides of all the lenses and used the special bulb grease.
It's attention to these details that promotes one to level II shadetree mechanic.
I have to wait until dark to see how they work

Harvested grapes this morning and pressed them into grape juice.
This afternoon, canning the grape juice...
