you need to sand the filth off of you,ya filthy animal! hahahaha

there isn't enough sandpaper!

Have fun...

Oh, more than just fun, its an adventure!!

Hehe... and wait till they use one color of wire for everything! Dads boat used tow colors of wiring... red and black. Some of the wire bundles were the size of your wrist.

well if it was all white I'd say you had an aviation electrician on your paws!!

I have had my fingers in a couple of aircraft harnesses too. When I wire up my plane it will be color coded as much as possible. The recreational Marine industry has done a good job with color coding wire harnesses so you know what you're looking at and a good idea what it does.

Ahh, so nice to be young, and have that much energy

Heh, it must be, but I can't remember when! That day wasn't a total loss but boy howdy, it was a tough win.

Don't feel bad, I just spend a good 6 hours hammering on the rear of my 2500 yesterday to knock out and replace some bad axle bearings and disassemble the stuck parking brakes, only to find that the noise is most likely coming from inside the diff. Gotta love that shit

clever use of a 20 ton hydraulic jack is what you needed! Just have to have the pump on the low side. It made the axle bearing sound where a hard swerve under power changed the noise? pesky, is it throwing any metal? On all the trucks I've cut a pocket in the fill plug to jbweld in a round magnet, makes for an easy inspection point.

I vaguely remember using fire and a 14lb splitting maul. Was a pain in the ass, but it worked.

Yeah it only makes noise when I load up the left side of the truck, much quieter while driving straight and completely goes away when swerving left. I thought for sure it was a front wheel bearing at first so I changed that out, then that didn't do it so I knocked out the brand new looking Timken rear axle bearings and replaced them with China's finest budget bearings, still no change. It's gotta be in the diff but it's not a gear noise I'm 90% positive this is bearing noise. The oil looks okay (dirty, but no silver swirl). Basically I haven't touched the truck since. It's too cold outside to be taking apart rear ends, and I don't want to tie up the lift/garage with a taken apart truck when I have so much better shit to work on in the meantime. Hah, I'll get to it one of these days. We've had fuck all for snow and I haven't needed to tow anything heavy, I'm this close to putting a hitch on the wife's CX-5 so I can at least scoot around little trailers. I'll deal with it in the spring when I need to drag around tractors and shit. Still planning on doing the back yard as soon as the ground thaws, will probably rent a mini excavator for stump duty, should be a fun time!

so much for the fuck all for snow! Hang onto your hat, this one could stall and take a huge dump inland. How many stumps you gotta remove?

Mass got hammered, up in this part of NH we got 3" maybe 4" max. We had that one HUGE storm where we got over 3' at the end of December, but 3 or 4 days later on Christmas day it was like 50 degrees and a few inches of rain, wiped it all out. I have been looking at my lawn from then until now, and I plan to see my lawn again soon lol.



There's a lot of stumps. For large/ large-ish ones I'd say maybe a dozen. Small ones even more than that. Previous owner decided to cut down a wooded area and just leave it with the "freshly logged" look, brush piles and all -_- There's a couple of huge pines left in the CENTER of that area I'm gonna take down first as well, I guess they weren't worth selling to whoever came and bought all the hardwood trees... Once they're all pulled I want to level the whole back yard and make it usable too.

Well, maybe could work something out, How big is large? 30 inch or better?
