Good morning everyone. Rich, is Bosch on Amazon? I'll have to check it out. Ilove a good crime show.

So far, I am liking the new tires a whole bunch. The truck rides much better over bumps and doesn't jar near as much as it did with the old tires. I am guessing it is better Rubber and a little more up at that helps.

Rich, let us know what happens at the transmission issues. Hopefully they don't return.

Yeah... I have Amazon Prime, and Bosch is one of the shows available.

I'll fire up a thread when I'm sure Stinky is done having shift fits.

You guys don't overlook "Deadwood", "Justified" or "The Americans" while you're show-hopping. Deadwood is a western with lots of intrigue, guts, and just plain horribly realistic lawlessness, Justified is a tough-guy marshal show set in the south, The Americans is a great 1980s (no internet) spy show with kick-butt action, good leads, and my favorite wish-she-was-my-grandma actress who also happens to be in Justified, Margo Martindale.


BTW, I looked all over Netflix looking for Goliath. took me a minute to see it's only on Amazon.

Ozark a cross between "The Sopranos" and "Breaking Bad".

Binge watched Ozark, it was good.

On episode 3 of Goliath now, it is good so far too. I have always liked Billy Bob Thornton as an actor.

Yep, right there with you guys. All the Pretty Horses is my top favorite film, which he directed.

Didn't know he was in Goliath. I have to catch up on "The Last Ship" then I'll start it. BBT used to be just a little bit crazy when he was with that large breasted girl that married Brad Pitt and adopted every black/asian baby that walked past her. Can't remember her name to save my life, but she and BBT got into some pretty big hijinks back in the day.:-X19

I don't remember her name either....not sure I want to....:-X04

And I want to personally thank you for taking up two hours of my morning as I read through your Skippy thread. Nice write-up!

BBT and the lumpy walking stick got together during the shooting of "Pushing Tin"... I think. I remember when she was in "Hackers"... she looked pretty sensual. Now she just looks Hollyweird.

Justified was great... until it wasn't. I liked the earlier seasons, then it got very cheesy. The guy that wanted to use a knife in a gun fight was hilarious... didn't see that coming. I got a kick when the villain that once played a role on "Star Trek First Contact" as he chuckled "It's a piggy bank." I also liked and respected that rent-a-cop character. My wife and I cringed at the end of the opening credits... that was one depressing-looking town.

Deadwood.... Absolute classic. My wife and I still call Ian McShane "Swedgin". Molly Parker from "Deadwood" is in "Goliath"... I have problems with every character she plays - but that's good acting for ya. After a lifetime of watching Brad Dourif play the off-kilter bad guy, it was refreshing to see him as a positive and grounded character.

Just curious before I order and don't want to start a new thread....what are you guys using for front hub replacements? I have read Timkens are best, but then saw some reviews where they are coming form China and some have had bad luck. I am looking on Rockauto, so let me know if you guys have any input. Thanks!

Sous 09-19-2017 05:35 PM

For all of you that are now hooked on Goliath, this one is for you...

I find this is best heard at a very loud volume in surround sound.

I will go with Timken, but you are right that there was a thread not long ago where someone said you have to be careful about them because some are being made in Mexico.

Below is the thread I am referencing.

I plan to ask Clay directly if he knows for sure that his are made in USA, if he cannot confirm this I will order from the source below which was linked in the thread above.

Wheel Bearings Inc

Mexico has one of the stictest QC even more so than the USA unfortunately. I have some family members that work for Johson Controls and other "Maquiladoras" which makes wiring harnesses, leather and some other stuff that goes into the Ford pick up line and by the stuff my cousin tells me theres a strict QC that has to go thru a couple of people before being packaged and send out to the US just FYI.
As for bearings Byron i never had problems running the Duralast ones from Vatozone lol... they had lifetime warranty as well.

Forgot about Ozark!! That was all time. I have always appreciated Jason Bateman. Looking forward to the next one for sure.
