The problem I found was torque being way past the required lbs. so much that studs are taking kind of a hit. Electric impact wrenches are kind of the problem here. I’ve lost studs to extremely over tight lug nuts.

Swifts bar is so low it would be hard to stoop that far… I did hear of a Swift truck making it to a destination on time. But upon further review it was because the Swift guy missed a couple stops.

They had on his year and model a new technology tire that was pretty vehicular specific. It ended up being a flop and was probably recalled. But whoever had his car didn’t get in on the recall he figures… the “fix” includes some fender altering to fit the tires now required. He wishes he’d...

On the Honda… my son has the “touring” model oddy… two issues is the feature that cuts out a couple cylinders while idling causes vibrations that require new motor mounts from time to time. There are five and cost like $800 a piece if you do it yourself. The tires were something that you cannot...

Glad you made it to the tire shop… nothing worse then being stuck changing a tire with people speeding by inches from your vehicle. I hear ya on the lug nut tightness. My Minnesota tire guy puts them on way too tight. I have to carry a breaker bar and pipe and I’m still calling him choice names…...

I have to laugh… I keep my beans in the bag in my freezer… and have a container I grind in I keep in the fridge. And on the bay it says not to refrigerate. I just like my coffee to smell like the first time I open it the same as the last… or is that vise versa.

I think it is… use it every morning… You only use so much water through it. Once brewed you just add coffee up to level of cup. But I’m also cautious on coffee. (I grind) and don’t let it get stale. We used them in the back country… and I have mine now in my trailer with a nice organized rack...

I’m very blessed… only my arm is pushing third degree burns in a couple spots. I can attest flushing and cooling with cold water is the best thing I could have done. And now my “tan” from being in the south just got peeled off… rats! Start over!

You should join pirate camp… Doug is the master there of giving of self!

Yikes Abnorm… stay safe… A week and a half ago daughter Sadie and I heading to Cedar City from Salt Lake City found me overheating. Found a place to pull off and glad I did. Sadie took out dogs and started walking them. I proceeded to check out the situation. I’d put a second clamp as the...

Heading back to Minnesota… she had a leg amputated and was doing well. The biopsy wasn’t good of her leg. I’m going to have her other leg checked… she’s going downhill with that leg. It’s been a balance of do I walk her? Do I rest her. She’s getting less able to go up even small stairs without...

Thanks… sorry van fan… I’m a dad, dads are notorious for making people groan with our “jokes”. Started my three weeks of physical therapy in Utah. They are a little more aggressive here. Ouchie ma ma!!! Kira on the other hand is doing well and her walking is getting smoother… she can run very well.

Kira is having some issues… I had shoulder issues…. So as you can see April cost us an arm and a leg. I’m at daughters and Kira is starting to be herself again.

Yeah… the only deal is they overrun the new post deal. I’ve lost a bit of respect for certain posters because of it. Much of the info, stats and whatever is garbage at best… The forums with integrity usually just say adios to the whole political BS… So many people just know it all… but they are...

I know… I guess the reason I think it’s criminal per se is that building something so badly and cheap is basically wasting our resources. Filling landfills… and the safety margin is… well… marginal! You’d think even one manufacturer could make a quality product! They seem to start out that way...

I could only get liability with a 99 truck. Sad outcome at vet today. Tumor in bone.

I’m getting three days of Sanborn Mexican liability insurance for 54 bucks. Kira is going in tomorrow…

I’m looking for the same… going in tomorrow for Kira… the place I thought I could get it doesn’t handle it anymore.

Only you Doug, only you… what people will do to get your attention!

If only it was just a muscle strain… I doubt there is a pill that will reattach a ligament… thanks though… People said stuff like that for my shoulder. You’re not going to fix muscles tore off, tendons and ligaments tore off by masking pain. Now that it’s been as long as it has the ligament...
