Yeah it just started poping up here in Mass and NH about a year right before i turned 21 ago it's pretty good

 

I am a huge fan lol. To me it is the taste of college. Since we are on the topic of beers, I am pretty jealous that your state has Sam Adams. They make some of my favorites.

 

October Fest! lol I like pretty much everything...except Pinnacle Whipped Vodka...I hate that **** my Fiance got me sick on it once in just 3 drinks becaue she filled it more than half way and after the first two I couldn't tell if there was orange soda in it or not. I returned the favor and painted her wall and slept on the toilet for 2 hours though lol.

 

Lmfao!!!! Its been quite a while since I've done that, but I do get the sweaty tongue from time to time. I usually hold it down without much issue, have some water, and then soldier lol. I do recall a night with 100 proof captain and have (2) shots and (2) solo cups of 50-50 captain and coke in just shy of an hour. I did some time traveling that night

At the age of 26, I have never ordered a mixed drink in a bar. If I am having liquor its either Jack, bourbon, Irish whiskey, or single malt scotch served with ice or neat. Grandpap taught me never to mix good whiskey, and to him anything above Black Velvet is good whiskey. I try to live by his word

I like all kinds of beer. Right now I have some Pumking (imperial pumpkin ale Southern Tier) in my fridge. I've tried 30+ pumpkin beers and this stuff is a head and shoulders above everything else. They also make Warlock which is an imperial pumpkin porter that is DELICIOUS.

I am a big fan of Stone Brewery's IPAs, Arroggant Bast**d and Smoked Porter (not an IPA) being my favorites.

I have to tell you though, my favorite beer is an open one. But I do try to follow Grandma's rule too.... "Light beer is just wasting your time." That is a direct quote

 

Lol yeah i try stuff but usually just resort to beer after 1 because its easy and i like it. Yeah right after my 21st birthday she is only 20 still but she filled a good sized cup to put it in perspective each drink (i had three) was a quarter of the handle i had bought lol.

 

Not a whole lot to update. I got the rust under the mud flaps taken care of and got them put back on. I moisturized the whole interior with Griot's Leather Care tonight since it was in the 60's. It is now road trip ready for Thanksgiving

In other news, I got the quad ready for snow. I got my Battery Tender hooked up and it works extremely well. I'd highly recommend it.

Other than that, I'm gathering stuff for some projects around the house. Puting a new circuit in the garage and out front for Christmas lights. Putting new showerhead and sink faucet in the bathroom. Finishing the wood trim on the floors in the house... My projects will never end lol. Oh well, as long as the fiance is happy

 

truck is looking good! CC LB ... i'm jealous

and since you brought up beer ..... gotta say sam adams is my favorite. cherry wheat and october fest always go down smooth. i had a few winter lagers the other night too. good stuff

 

I never had winter before until lsdt week i like it! Everyone i know hates it lol.

 

lol nice yeah it's got a little bite to it. i like it

 

The winter lager is so good. I look forward to it every winter. Anyone ever tried Mad Elf?

I appreciate the jealousy, but I am jealous of anyone whose truck is totally rust free, has a 6 speed, mechanical 4x4, and/or L/S. lmao

And for the record, I don't think I'll go any smaller than a CCLB in the future. Its rides so nice and there is what seems like unlimited space for stuffs and activities

 

I would like a CCLB but i love my SCSB i like its size the CCLB is very nice for traveling and taking stuff with you though so i feel lik ei would want both in a perfect world, the long one for long trips and mine for...well what ever the hell I'm doing with it now lol. About a year ago i almost traded my 95 for a 97 CCLB OBS but the guy sold it the week before i called so i almost got a $200 running CCLB truck lol!

Also i am jealous of the manual 4x4 people although my manual hubs and electric t-case works just as good! I would have kept ESOF but didnt feel like dropping $900 on hubs if i had the truck earlier and could have kept up on the hub maintenance well then i would be in a different situation then lol.

Idk whats wrong with people here the winter lager is great lol.

 

That would've been an awesome trade!

That is an insane amount of money for hubs. You can but Yukon hubs for a third of that price.... If my t-case ever gives me issues, I am swapping to the mechanical version. I'll take an extra hole in the floor to know that I have 4x4 when I need it.

I need to get some Winter Lager now... I am getting a craving.

 

Haha I had some last night!


Yeah ford hubs are a waste unless you are starting with new ones and can keep them maintained...I kinda got screwed on mine they already didn't work well from my dad lol. There is even a plate that's just screwed on for the manual Tcase in the floor already its like ford wants you to put it there! When I replaced my carpet and put POR on my floor pan there was a black plate where the shifter is that was held in by 4 Philips screws and sealed with what ever ford used.

 

So the mechanical swap would be very simple.... that's good news. We'd just have to adapt the indicator wires to the dashboard to the mechanical case.

My Ranger was the same way. It made the swap extremely easy. The hardest part was getting the old t-case off. The alignment pin was seized in the aluminum transmission adapter.

 

yeah and i believe it may plug in for the dash lights but if not i recall it literally being two or 3 wires 4hi 4low and ground.

See the black plat eon the right
