Happy thanksgiving y'all. Hope y'all have fun whatever you are doing. Don't eat to much turkey and if you are traveling stay safe on the road.

It's a Red Head steering box and to do any kind of adjustment would void the warranty. I already have the replacement box, just waiting to get it put in. Right now I am extremely busy with roof repairs, back up sump pump systems and general repairs after the hurricane.

Got our first official snowfall today. Had a big grin on my face knowing my truck is sitting in my garage for most of the winter and not being subjected to a salt bath. I'll take it out if it is ever truly needed but now it sits all Fluid Filmed up out of the weather. I really think I use the 4x4 more in the summer anyway. Go figure.

Same here. Unreal. Last year we had something like 2 or 3 true snow events vs a normal of between 20-30.

So I get my truck all cleaned up inside and out and ready for storage in my garage. Then my wife drops a bomb on me. "Hey we're going to the lights festival with the kiddos and your mom so I said lets take your truck." Ugh...it was raining outside and the roads your drive through in the festival are half road half mud. So now I have mud lining the wheel wells again and foot prints all over the floor mats. Hopefully it doesn't snow soon so I can get a chance to clean it again, although maybe the rain will wash it off right now...... Just one of those annoying things. You spend hours cleaning to get it ready for storage only to have it destroyed in 5 minutes! Oh well there are greater tragedies in life...
