    Snapped the shock mount!

    2 for 2! Yesterday I was in another part of the Pines and I come ripping through a trail to find a huge Rottie. 6hrs later and he’s out of the forest and into a crate with Animal Contol. Unreal the delay and bureaucracy. I can’t believe I got him to come with me on foot for a few miles to get to...

    2001 Sierra 8.1 crank no start then start

    I know I’ve read this complaint and it’s been FPR or pimp or even filter. Here’s one of them. Guy came back and said it was fixed with FPR. Maybe have him key cycle and try to start in the first try. If it does, then move to fuel instead of electrical. Dunno...

    2001 Sierra 8.1 crank no start then start

    I'd check fuel pressure. Suspect FPR, but that's my unprofessional SWAG :)

    Toy hauler tie downs

    You need something to hold the front wheel steady too.

    Snapped the shock mount!

    She’s super gentile and sweet. Shes also very calm about my other dogs checking her out. My wife and I spent a bunch of time tonight getting them all to meet and greet. The big Shepherd “Duke” scared her some but she was super. The smaller shepherd “Eli” was a dick but she ignored him - which is...

    She’s sleeping in her crate right now. I’m searching the lost dog posts, but nothing. Maybe she was dumped ;(

    I finished up last night and towed my little enclosed trailer around today. Shes fixed :) I towed the trailer to ride dirt but plans changed when I found this little girl wandering around the Pine Barrens. No collar and no registered microchip :(

    I made a gauge so that I knew exactly where the OEM was welded. I just held the new one up and man is that a hell of an angle. Gulp!

    Snapped the shock mount!

    I’ve reused them plenty of times myself, despite knowing that you aren’t supposed to. I think the reasoning is because they are TTY in that they stretch when you install. But plenty of “sloppy”-er folks than me have used TTY hardware over and over. :) This time I put new ones on, because they...

    Snapped the shock mount!

    I’m meant to ask about the torque comment. Are you saying to tighten to spec or above? My father made and installed leaf springs on big trucks and he’s always preaching to me that I need to tighten the ubolts with everything I can throw at them; spec be damned. Then beat on them with a hammer...

    Snapped the shock mount!

    I used grade 5. I read most are 5 or 8 and some light duty vehicles are 2, so I went down the middle. Plus, I had two nice bolts in my bucket :)

    Snapped the shock mount!

    No show on the shock mount yet, but I figured I’d address the axle issue. I fabbed up some quick extenders, but when I removed the Deaver center pins they were bent badly. So I turned down some bolts and put the extenders on them instead. Now when I reassemble with the angled shim, I have full...

    Thank you so much for the generosity!! If you're in the NJ area and break down, I'll be glad to help too :)

    Deer Hunt 2025

    That’s so cool to see! Nice memories made there :) Years ago, I made some ammo for a member here, and I was so happy to hear that he used it on his daughter’s first hunt. She blew the neck out of her first deer shot and it went flop! :) My kiddo has zero interest, so I lived vicariously. Haha.

    Snapped the shock mount!

    I’m in NJ. DMAX Store is in CA - which means longer shipping to me. Longhorn just emailed me. In stock and shipping. Says XDP should have had them drop ship when I asked on Wednesday. So I ordered 2x from Longhorn just now. Original order from XDP is still sitting delayed at UPS in Las Vegas...

    Snapped the shock mount!

    Correct. Dmax is in CA and I’m in NJ. I called Long horn yesterday (Ohio) and their answering machine said to email for faster reply. So I did to see if they were in stock and shipping. No reply. I just went to call now and they are closed until Tuesday. Ugh. I’d planned to call them back...

    Yes, Sir. I was just looking at McMaster-Carr for 10mm socket head cap screws. I think it’s a c-hair oversized. I can turn it down for a good fit.
