Looking sharp there, Tracer! The one colour green is growing on me since I repainted mine. I was going to camo it, but I am holding off. I like the 383 Green.

Needed to move a 20ft container behind the fire station because the area will be graded and gravelled. Lola to the rescue! The container has a few built-in things, so weighs probably close to 6000 lbs.

We definitely have satellite TV. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

It already comes with a "millenials theft deterrent": Standard shift transmission!

No, it is still with the Goodyear 286's. It is dry, so they work, sort of. I actually wanted a baseline before butting the "new" tires on. I could not get myself to mount them. Not, because it is hot, but because the mosquitoes are crazy. I donated a few quarts of blood today!! The steel...

Took Lola for a quick rip and decided to do some mild off-roading beside a country road on the side of the village (no houses there). Climbed up and down the embankment. Stopped my embankment climb for a middle-aged, blonde lady in white jogging outfit walking along. She stopped (probably...

@jasonjc You, sir, are not easily scared! Great project! Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

I would hate to see what happens when you do an oil change. "Now that all the oil is out, we can drop the pan and have a quick peek at the bottom end. With the pan off, that is the right time to pop the heads and check rings and pistons....." No, seriously, project creep is not always bad...

Looking good and comfy!

Yes, I have had these for a while. I have Goodyear 281s on stock rims on the truck. Good tires as long as the truck stays on the road. Wet grass...it gets stuck. I'm in the mood for something different. These are Canadian rims. Very similar to the A3 rims. I took the wheels apart and cleaned...

Broke down 7 two-piece rims with 11.00R20 Michelins, wire brushed and rust painted the rims and just sprayed the first coat of woodland green. Glad I did it in the shelter, because now it's RAINING! It said 20% chance of rain. I wish I was that lucky in the lottery!

I have the same experience as fleetmech with my alternator. Sometimes the needle stays at the end of the yellow and a short drive "fixes" it. I usually do not bother to "blip" the throttle etc. for that purpose. It self-corrects as I drive.

I agree with snow plow use. Probably had a sander on the back. Plow trucks with a salter on the back get killed by road salt in short order. They literally fall apart before your eyes, with frame rust jacking and cancer everywhere. This one does not look bad, the seams of the front fenders seem...

@MuleMac01 All your fault. Now I am itching to re-spool my winch cable and it is pouring outside. Mine is ok...but not laid as perfectly as in your pic!!

Please shoot a little video, if you can!! Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

There are a few objective considerations, such as viscosity. Originally, a single viscosity of SAE30 was specified. 15W40 is a good all-round alternative, provided the truck lives in a warm-ish climate or a heated garage. That stuff becomes thick when it gets colder!! And I do not mean snow and...

Yes, aren't they happy little fellows? I recommend a bit of o-ring lubricant (NOT air tool oil! White lithium grease in a pinch) on the o-rings inside the wiper motors and new air line hoses. Even a small leak seems to make them work improperly.

Aren't they enthusiastic?? Took me a few days, but it rained today! Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

It is a wonderful feeling when you surprise yourself with stuff that actually worked out! It always makes me suspicious when Murphy is nowhere to be found. He is here, somewhere....

Replaced the rubber air lines for the wipers. Mine were brittle and cracked. Fuel hose 3/8 did the trick. I hate those spring loaded clamps...too hard to compress with my fingers, when using pliers the clamp snaps sideways and won't move, and when I finally pull them off...
