You are putting her to work! Good stuff!

Noticed slop and a "clunk" in the rear drivetrain when swapping tires. Sure enough, a U-joint in the inter axle driveshaft had decided to call it quits. 2 new Spicer 1410 from the local Traction store, a bit of pressing and very little swearing...done. Replaced a pinion seal on the middle axle...

The great thing about someone who can fabricate is that if he needs something he just makes it! Very nice looking bed! Glad to see your update. I have always been following your trail adventures...still remember the 1017 Mercedes rolling off the road.... Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Yes, in the first pic it looks woodland green!

About what? Adjusting the toe-in? Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

@Dipstick , even with the FDC bypassed, the engine will happily burn the full variety of fuels (but without the FDC it will not try to compensate for varying energy density; the truck will feel fine with Diesel and feel like having more or less power with other fuels, depending on the fuel...

Lola and her new Michelin shoes! I agree wholeheartedly with @BHaas35 - breaking down the wheels, cleaning and painting, then reassembling everything is a lot of work. Removing six wheels from the truck and installing the six new ones felt like a holiday in comparison! The rims are the...

A lot of brake friction lining material is produced in Asia, as are complete brake sets, for name brands. I have had the aftermarket shoes on mine since 2009 without issues. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Looks good in yellow and black! Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

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!
