Vinegar for weed killer works great, much faster than Roundup, quite a bit less expensive too.
Do you guy's know of a decent Exhaust shop around? Need a new muffler and a 3 or 4" flex installed.
Dan Fast still around?

Called Dan Fast, will probably get some work done on the 29th since the weekend exhaust technician is out until then. Works for me as it will give me time to order a muffler, hangers and a short flex section. They do install customer supllied parts too which Do-rite will not.

Hey everybody. So I know this may be a long shot, but does anyone have a 2004-8 F150 lariat steering wheel laying around that I could buy/borrow/have ? The leather on the top part of my KR is cracky and worn out so I thought I'd make a wood insert for it, but I don't want to tear mine apart to find out what the frame looks like.

I'm late to this party and it looks like you're taken care of, but I will throw out Airport Weld in Snohomish just to get it on record. They did a really good job with the glasspack I had installed. Had to do some custom fab in front of it and they done good.

It looks like I will need to replace both of the rear calipers on my truck.
The sticking was not a bad guide pin. Nothing like the smell of hot brakes.
When I backed in today I got a good whiff of it. I had some other trips I
needed to make so I took the car and when I got home cleared some space
and backed the truck in so I would have dry cement floor to work on.
Pulled it down and noting was standing out as being stuck on the side that
was smelling and hot. That is also the side that I had to remove the parking
brake shoes do to the backing plate rusting out. I guess now is as good time
as any to do the job.

So what are everyone's weekend plans? The past two weekends have been crazy and every weekend is booked into June, so this is our last chance to relax and chill. I've got four whole cluckers in my garage fridge waiting to be smoked on Sunday, so watch for those pics. Tomorrow is a dump run I think and grocery shopping. Maybe a softball game if the weather holds...
