Went to Napa today. My normal parts store was closed. I needed 4-3/8" bumper bolts. The owner is a good guy, but busy. So he handed me off to one of three other salesmen. Told him I needed bumper bolts. "Uh... what do they look like?" So the owner gets the book out and shows him the...
Has anyone seen this? Lucky nobody was hurt. Last year a friend of mine had his 6.7 cummins blow a hole in the block on the Dyno too. I guess this is what happens when you take a motor way past design limits...

What I hate is out here in rural MT, we have I94 with very light traffic. As in when you overtake a car you often have miles of open freeway ahead and behind. Yet when you get passed these city drivers feel they need to pull back in front of you as soon as their rear bumper clears your front...
The other thing I dislike about lifted trucks is it puts the bumper at window height for most passenger cars. This bypasses all safety, making that 5star car you purchased for the protection of your family all for naught.
What ticks me off most about these big wheel trucks is 99% don't have mud flaps to knock down thrown rocks from their knobby tires. That and when they get them leveled they never aim their headlights so they shine straight into your eyes.
I like it. I thought maybe the engine compartment would be black or a GM power plant. But no. It's a neat car. Not everybody's cup of tea though.

I had an 88 ultra classic but really got tired of the perpetual maintenance. Sold it and bought a Honda Fury. Change the oil and go. No more adjusting the the clutch, changing primary fluid, tightening all the loose bolts... Just get on and go.
Now I'm selling that so I can...
You will rarely see chains used in heavy lifting. Worked as a rigger for a couple years. Used gin chains and such on lighter stuff. When we started getting into real weight it was cable chokers or nylon straps. Nylon works well if kept in good condition and not over loaded. I worked a...
I liked their "I can ship my pants?"
Last night I let on rip and said, "I ship my pants!"
My wife responds, "I can ship my pants anywhere!"
To which my 4yr old replies, "I fink my sissy ship her pants. I fink she has to dump. I fink I smell poop."
Don't blame vegetarians. It's our society. In our quest to not offend anyone, nothing can be said without someone getting their feel goods hurted. So they overreact, stomp their feet, and take their ball and go home. I read stuff on here everyday like this.
A good friend of mine is vegan...
