When you decide you need 40 spline shafts I have an extra set of 40 spline slugs from Branik who makes those for ECGS.

New sending unit on the boat. Iāve been staring at an empty gas gauge for 5 years. It was a āIāll do it laterā job. Fifty bucks, an Amazon Chinese unit, and weāre back in business. Nice not carrying a gas jug on every outing.

Turned the narrow track into a wide track. While at it figured I would clean up and paint the drums. Then decided to add some paint to the wheels.

A couple of months ago, I was coming up the easement and there was an 8 lug wheel and tire off the edge of the drive.
I ignored it a few days thinking it must have fell off of a neighborās trailer or something.
Then I figured out it was off my Dodge
my cable for the spare had broken right at the end.
So finally today I used a cable clamp to repair it all and put the spare back under the truck out of the way.
It is so unusually hot here that I was soaked in the 45 minutes it took

Haha! You are not alone. Another member on here one day noticed the spare under his Dodge Ram was missing and the cable was broken. Surely in a ditch somewhere, and most likely between his house and work, LOL.

Chasing down a tail light failure, found 2 of the 7 pins on the turn signal connector loose, something about trying to fake having the right crimping tool with needle noses
fixed that still didnāt work, got a new relay thinking it might be a relay not being rated for led.
After a day of frustration, the culprit, besides the 2 loose connections was a fuse. All systems go now!

Didnāt feel a thing

Accomplished the other day; added some more pawpaw flavor to the crew cab. Put the front hitch back on, almost had a heat stroke doing it but got it done
Yep even here it is horrendous
Can't be too careful! lol

5 degree caster, 1/8 toe in, within 1/32 centered, side to side wheelbase within a 1/32 as close as a tape-measure can do. Put the real tires on it aired to 30 and sent her.
First off, my trans controlled by terminator x max with art carr shifter is currently not set up for drive, so you have to click between gears. I also donāt have a speedo. So, 2300rpm in 4th is roughly 70, first speed test and I donāt think Iāll be doing much highway driving without a top
The hydro boost sponginess is gone, mustāve just needed cycled to bleed out air

Swapped the B&W hitch on, looks so much better than the other one imo
