Oof. My first truck was the same body. You should just trade it to me for the 70 C10. š

Got this for Christmas and put it together last night. It's pretty rad when your kids grow up and start paying dividends.
Going to print yourself a Glock?

Got home from work and finished installing the steps/sliders on Loryās Mojave. These are Expedition Oneās sliders. I had these on my JK and they held up quite well. These shouldnāt see nearly as much abuse.
Nice! I just picked up another printer myself!
Iām battling between picking up a printer or a cricut. I have some RCFS money to spend to lighten my tax burden (taxation is theft) so Iām thinking MacBook plus one of those two. I like the idea of making stickers and shirts so Iām leaning towards cricut. Plus Iāll be like an honorary stay-at-home mom.

I made two more pens last week but used some C110 copper for these. Made a matching set for my son and DIL.
Then afterwards I conducted a thorough cleaning of the shop before the Christmas holiday.
I then decided to record an updated shot and toolbox tour and post it to my channel.
Thanks for looking.

Those pens look awesome. Did you anodize the copper?

Thank you. No anodizing, just polished the copper. I like the "patina" look that copper gets over time so I wanted to keep the surface raw copper.

Commenced work on my son's LB7 last night. Replacement of hte oil cooler with a larger cooler from a 2020+ L5P Duramax.
Truck racked and coolant draining while my son pulled the driver's front tire/wheel, inner fender and hot pipe from the turbo to the intercooler.
Oil cooler ready to be fished out of the engine bay after lowering the front axle about an inch and a half creating just a bit more space to maneuver the old one out and the new larger cooler back in.
Coolant elbow removed.
Leak found. The gasket at the connection between the cooler elbow and the bell housing seems to have failed.
Old LB7 cooler removed along with the coolant tube from the water pump.
He purchased the new L5P cooler in kit form from Banks. Kit came with new 19-plate L5P cooler from a 2020+ Duramax, a new Baldwin oil filter and all relaced seals, gaskets and fasteners.
Thanks for looking.

Not necessarily automotive, but it has a diesel engine, is 4 wheel drive and is equipped with 5 ton Rockwell axles. š
This machine dropped the drive shaft a couple weeks ago and broke the pinion gear at the input. I had the center section swapped out the following day, but needed a custom drive shaft, which took some time.
It's finally all back together and ready to work plowing snow, just in time from the looks of it.

It's a snow fighter, or plow... like the last sentence says. š
It primarily gets uses in the Glenwood Canyon, keeping the tracks open for hyrail vehicles, clearing snow slides and making Winter walking easier, if some unlucky conductor has to walk the length of his train after an emergency.
The territory further up the mountain has 2 more, with one being a massive Pike plow... made in Canada. It has a huge Cummins 8.3 driving it. Mine has a worn out Detroit 4-53 supercharged 2 stroke.

Here's the Pike, working... this was a cut that drifted, the snow was heavy and packed. The machine struggled to break thru with just the plow. After getting thru, we dropped the wings and opened it up. I was standing in 4' of snow, easy...

Gotta keep that sucker up and running or you'll end up like the Donner party.
