I could fix that for someone.

 

Nate, fantastic delete job! Thanks for sharing your current pic with me, I'll post it here for all to see

 

Is that the new body delete mod?

 

Up until they were outlawed for hwy use(N.C.)in the late 70's, farmers around here used to use bare chassis with a seat as tractors to pull silage wagons to market. They were called whip-its. Most of them were based on 2 ton chassis. Every now and then I see one for sale.

 

Lol, don't know what he calls it but I actually look forward to every time he post. New delete every time, with this pic I just forward fast about 6 months at the pace he's going

Nate don't hate me, it's all in good fun

 

He's in Canada, I think it's perfectly legal. This is what he did to his moms car last summer...



I think his mom thought of Whipping his azz

 

I'd drive that...love it! I told the wife if I ever totaled the F-250, it was going to be outfitted with a seat and roll cage...lol.

Just to clarify, they are legal here as long as they are titled/registered and street-able. What the farmers were doing was skirting the law by running them as farm machinery with no registration or insurance.

 

Wheel delete mod for fuel efficiency is up next, right?

 

I pulled a trailer today.

 

Is that a milling machine Snow? New addition for your shop?

 

So when I bought my Ex last fall, the PO included a Helwig rear sway bar sitting in the back. I asked why he had removed it, thinking maybe it was a clearance issue with the aftermarket exhaust or something. He said it made loud, annoying creaking and squeaking noises and it annoyed him to where he removed it. Anyone had a similar issue ?


Anyway, I decided this is the week I re-install it. Its the old style with non-adjustable ends. I had ordered a tub of urethane bushing grease, so I plan to grease up everything. Spent the day removing the rear shock mounts, fixing one where it was bent. Did a sand, rattle can prime and paint on most of the parts / hardware. hopefully sway bar goes on tomorrow or Friday. Looking forward to an improvement in handling.

 

So, you may remeber back in 2013 I had a mess on my hands with my driveway. It was a serious mud pit. We had 4, 12 yard loads of RAP (recycled asphalt) brought out and borrowed a friends 966 loader to spread it. Well, last spring we had to have work done that included digging up part of the driveway, well that has let us with the same problem again. I can't wash anything without it getting muddy leaving the driveway.

So, tomorrow we have 50 yards of RAP being delivered. I've tried to move the cars/trucks out of the way. I'll have to borrow the guy next door's driveway when we spread it out to park all the cars/trucks and trailers. We are borrowing the same 966 loader to spread it out again. I'm excited to have a decent driveway again!

 

Yes, it made other parts of the truck creak and groan. Body mounts and front antisway links need to be tight.

 

Only thing creaking on mine is the rancho shocks...guess I need to pull them and slather the bushings in grease. If it wont stop creaking, they are gone!

 

Didn't do anything to the x today - it doesn't need anything, and I can't afford the things I want yet.

I did throw the new-rebuilt transmission back into our 2001 Blazer, which was a struggle by myself but I did get it in.

Then I wrapped up the final details on the 2000 Durango we were driving before the X so that I can feel good about delivering it to the woman we sold it to. Cleaned up the E-Fan wiring, swapped the factory stereo back in, and fixed the 2 cracked vacuum lines so the Check Engine light would go away and cleared all the codes.

All in all a good evening.
