I'm sure getting cranky in my advancing years. Look what I posted this morning:

Think it'll get removed?

Pop, your cranky comments may just shake the guy out of his laziness. Even a nitwit can find help to pull a tire off.

Got the other side finished this AM. Took the day off today just in case it didn't go well yesterday.

I bunged up one of the front driveshaft strap bolts. Need to find a way to get that bad boy out. Right now she's sittin' with 3 tight bolts and one ground off bolt. Springs look new with a coat of paint.

I did the oil change while i was down there, first time since my 'quick change lube experience' in July. So glad the place used a gorilla wrench to tighten the oil filter. Had to use the screw driver poke though method to get it off and took the used oil to o'Reillys.

Time for some new rubber.

Pop I want to know why a guy like that has a truck like that if he can't even keep his wife in check? My first response to what should I do... is get rid of the whining wife or at least man up enough to tell her to shut the He!! up, then sell the truck and buy a Prius... since this guy is obviously kitty whipped!!! He lowered his raised truck? but just a bit? ...go big or go home!


Pop you were too nice to him! You held your composure very well!

Them's candy to my eyes!

There's NOTHING like having the factory manuals.

I still have all the ones for my '70, too.

Thx Marc. I blame my miserly tire tendencies on my old man. I grew up learning to run rubber until you could see steel (or cords in the day). Of course it didn't rain in Imperial Valley so it worked fine there . I'll use that one as a spare until the others get there.

Sometimes stuff needs to be said, and I think you put it pretty mildly

I'm sure the thoughts running around in your head were a bit different.

Did you ever stay at that old RR hotel there? I believe it's called the El Rancho.
Always wanted to stay there and haven't pulled it off yet.

Yes, it's the El Rancho. I looked at it, but from the recent reviews I've read it seems the place is kinda falling apart. Don't think we're gonna chance it.
