I called him just now...and woke him up. He (maybe) wasn't that pissed at me. I'm shocked I didn't know about this. I'm embarrassed I didn't know about Bob Jr.

Yeah, I've been on here through thick and thick 20 plus years. Bobby is a great friend as is Jim. We've been through a lot outside of this site, and a lot within this site. Bobby put a roof on a friends house while I built a road for him. I've gone through no kids to having 4 in college and one...

yeah...humbling. so....Amira .... thank you. I can never repay this act.....but as long as I am breathing....I am here for you... Yeah, he means that. He will smash through concrete walls for you. And I would too. That's, well, there's nothing to say...

I didn't know about this.

Florida is much different than Indiana. We are on well water. We have a 30" concrete casing well that is 30' to the water and who knows how deep the well is. It's 50 years old and no records. The pump hangs down on a rope with an old abs plastic pipe feeding water to the surface. At the back...

If you are a good welder you can make nice welds with a 120v $100 flux-core Chinese machine. I have an expensive 240V Lincoln, but I don't use it that much--just on things in the shop because I don't like to haul the tank around. I also have a 230amp Hobart stick welder. Most things, I like the...

Lifters. This is a problem out of the past. Like 20 years out of the past. Clean those lifter bore with a rifle brush. I had this 20+ years ago.

A legitimate concern.

Such a good engine. Way less power and torque in the paperwork than my Toyota 4.0, but did the same job without any frantic revving. I tow the same ASV RC30 loader on the same Load Trail trailer that I did with the Ranger before it was destroyed. Maybe it's my personality is better suited to the...

I hope there will be a CRV to pull me out if I get in trouble. Or I can kick it under a tire for traction.

I have a 12 gauge pump in my truck as well. But the air horn is enough for a bear. It's just a 200# racoon. It's looking for the easy score and runs from the horn.

Keep your .38 snub (that's what I carry--a Charter Arms Undercover--chrome with wood service grips) and get an air horn. Nothing short of that 12 gauge will reliably kill a bear. The air horn will scare it off every time. Shooting it and not killing it means you are engaging it. Blasting it with...

Is there truck stuff here? I don't care if there isn't. Just figuring out how I can sell it to my wife.

Are there any trails for my stock (it's not) FJ to embarrass Rangers on or do I just drag in the RV? Looks like lots of hikes and thing my wife would enjoy, so maybe she will come with me for a change. I like this plan.

The drill bits are more important. Chicago-Latrobe #57850 is the set I use. Any cheap drill press is good enough-it's not a milling machine. The thing is heat. The bits I suggest are much harder at drilling temp than the steel we drill through. Sometimes we harden the steel as we try to...

The best winch is a fast winch. I went through a few winches. I settled on the Superwinch Talon 9.5i. It's the fastest winch there is. You have to run to spool it back in. I cut the steel wire in half and put hooks on the extra half for when I need it. I have the huge crimper for the cable to do...

Frittata. Quiche without the pastry.

What? He has the same last name as me, and not a common one. I know him by his forum name. I'm sorry for sure to learn of his passing.

Who can you help? I have a 19 year old child I deal with this all the time. We are alone in the universe with nuclear reactions and big rocks and physics and shit flying at us. It's up to us. Instead of looking inside, look outside. Go help somebody else. Be a rung on somebodies ladder. That's a...

I bought an inch-drive impact wrench to take apart a D35 TTB. I have a huge compressor that's taller than me. I put a 1/2" air hose on it. No quick connects when I use it as they restrict the air. You have to set it up just to knock a bolt loose. It will power the 1" drive impact for maybe 10...
