Ooh! Nice!

^^ This. Anyone who would have or sell a crank knows enough to know there is a point at which the wear makes one worthless.

I've been bitten by a German shepard, completely unprovoked when I was much younger. I didn't even know he was there until he latched onto my leg and wouldn't let go. No barking and not a sound. I figure all the folks who claim their pitbull or rottweiler are such sweet animals have likely...

Need to do this on my CAT. I can watch your YouTube, but out of curiousity, how much were the valve clearances out of spec?

I would likely be in, depending on dates.

I always inflate mine with the stuff sack which doubles as an inflator.

I saw a soccer mom in a Toyota Previa minivan with vintage plates at Costco last week. I wish it could have stayed like it was, but I can see why it had to change. I mean, I wonder how many events or car shows she takes that Previa to every year?

I would check the grounds first. This is exactly what a bad battery ground or engine to frame ground would look like.

My favorite pad is a Thermarest NeoAir Xtherm. I tend to sleep cold and it has great insulation (5.7R). It is also very lightweight and packs pretty small. The only downside is it is a bit noisy - kind of like made out of the same crinkly material as a SunChips bag. Can't help on the...

I would love to have that! I'll PM you.

I have an old horizontal compressor that has sprung a leak in the bottom of the tank. I'm guessing this is pretty dangerous - like a time bomb! I guess I could pull the big plug and drop a camera in to verify, but I'm betting it is just rusted through since it is the very bottom of the tank...

I appreciate all the comments. I ended up just removing the winch hook and put a brummel eye on the end of it. Sorry about the brown loop guard for the color-conscious. I have a bunch of tubular climbing webbing that had to be retired anyway and it happens to be brown. I will probably unwind...

The day I see many smart successful people like Warren Buffet dumping their stocks for precious metals is likely the day I would consider doing the same. Until then, doesn't seem like a wise choice. That being said, I'm not an investment advisor or a billionaire, and your money is your money.

Nope. I had to run out to harbor freight while you guys were moving things. Hopefully I'll bump into Scott at some point! That little apartment is a little odd. Some people that rent it were never seen outside.

Ha! That was your Red Superduty!

Is this something that really should be legislated? i.e. Why not let voters make that determination?

Finally installed a winch on my new JLU. The Smittybilt 12k came with synthetic line and forged hook. I've already invested in some soft shackles as the new, safer mode. How many of you have deleted your winch hook in favor of a loop? Should I even worry about it? Any real-world advice?

Worked handyman as a second job through college, mainly because my landlord/friend always needed help and I had the skills. Basically I had to work an exit plan with him. It could have been a career and taken over my life. There is definitely demand for decent quality work!

Thanks for posting this. Love Steve and his enthusiasm for outdoors and personable nature. Kills me that he is going through this.

2012 was the last year of Ram/Cummins without DEF. I love mine from that year, but that is just one data point.
