What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

Plusnuts will help those looking at a binding solution without using nut and bolt, in areas where access to one side is difficult/impossible. Plusnuts are like Rivnuts on steroids..

Don't forget hexnuts also and they all come in steel, stainless, and aluminium. You could spend thousands on rivnuts, hexnuts, plusnuts, and the correct installation tools.

Made my afternoon walk around of the MVs and noticed a large amount of my 5 ton hood insulation on the ground. Raised the hood and out popped a red fox. Remnants of a portion of the tomatoes from our garden half eaten on top the cummins. Does anyone know a source for replacement hood insulation at a reasonable price?

That is nice of you to want to reinsulate it's house for winter time.

 

[71DeuceAK]

Could that lead foam stuff be used?

That's a fine healthy "foxy lady" there, no mange in your neighborhood!


Who knew they ate tomatoes?!

My neighbor said she actually saw the fox up in my pear tree for an early morning munch. Who knew they ate pears?!

Something new to learn every day:

- Just reading the other day that the Washington Redskins have a new linebacker squad.

- They're all about 300 pounds, and they're calling themselves the "Hogs 2.0".

But like fox eating pears, a lot of these new "Hogs" are all vegan. Who knew?!

I had two fox in the yard a few years ago. They liked our pears. I watched one of the fox climb up the tree and tightrope walk a limb about 5' off the ground to get the pears. Very impressive. Now before someone calls me out and says fox can't climb trees, our tree is not straight up and down, it Y's and it was enough they could climb it!

 

[Coffey1]

They like strawberries and cherries also.

No, I believe you, never seen it myself but I believe you.

The gray fox does nothing BUT climb trees (never seen one but it sure would be cool if I did).

...and hood insulation!

They call that "roughage" in dietary terms.

It's recommended....

Say.

Wasn't there a thread around here a little earlier?

I recently replaced mine and mentioned it in this thread. I ended up getting a hood to rob the insulation and set the hood aside for the next tree falling on my truck in case it hits the hood. Jbulach had the hoods. Not sure if he still does or not.

 

[Jbulach]

Sorry, mine are all gone. Somebody should have a pile of them though? Hopefully they didn't get scraped, or if they did someone saved the insulation...

I hate when people do this.

I know it's not worth it but I really just want to drift back sometimes, just to teach them a little lesson of proper spacing between vehicles.

Finally got my tailgate replaced. Took more hands than I had alone, and crane, a grinder, and BFH. Looks way better than my old mangled one did. It was certainly a pain but it was worth it. Don't think I would've tackled it if I didn't have the crane.

Novacaine, I know the world has changed , but thirty years ago " that car ran right into me Officer. What is wrong with folks ? " So glad there weren't tattletale cameras everywhere.

 

[Buffalobwana]

Novacaine, well, at least it is their fault when they hit you.

I have found that human nature is to avoid a collision at all costs. I am polite (mostly) on the road. When I am pulling a long or heavy load, I think ahead, but sometimes, you can't predict everything. I have found about 1/2 the people here in TX will let you over when you need to get over ... the other half, well, they will suddenly yield when I nudge my way in. Sure, they honk and yell and their blood pressure goes through the roof, but AS LONG AS THEY SEE YOU, they usually yield.

I did have some kid in a sports car rush up into my lane as I was merging. Yeah, I saw him, but he also saw me merging. He lost control of his car because both hands were busy giving me the double middle finger. I swear, he came within an inch of eating my trailer. funny.

Were they trying to read some wacky bumper sticker of yours or something?
