    Tequila, Vodka, Scotch

    Makes no nevermind....it's all the same vile crap inside. But, it's the kind of vile that makes you kill the bottle trying to identify what it is. This is straight from the hip....get him two bottles, or only one if you're cruel. At some point he won't be able to resist cracking the seal, one...

    Hey, Robert....

    Okay, Pete. Let's say I remove my sleeper (-380 lbs), my below the rail box will be loaded with the same tools, chains, strap, jacks, RV gear....remaining between 350 and 400 lbs, I add my RBW Li'l Rocker 15K at 200# including rail kit, and add an 85# bull bar & grill guard and 12K Warn at 138...

    Tequila, Vodka, Scotch

    Vodka, tequila, and scotch are fine but you're not going to find anything really unique for a bar display....everyone pretty much has everything that available. You might consider straying from the beaten path...."display" being the operative word. Buy him a bottle of Inca Pisco. It's...

    Alternate means

    I've always had multiple forms of alternate transportation, but I've recently pruned the fleet down to the Super Duty, an '05 Camry, and a "new" '98 Saturn SC-2. I parted out my '01 ZX-6E Ninja that got 55 mpg; ran the rings out of my '89 Festiva that got 47 mpg and sold it; and I traded the...

    7.3 fuel mileage question

    Phil, previous owner of my truck, said he got 33K out of the factory Generals and switched to UniRoyal Laredo AWPs that were on it....still serviceable but worn to replacement bars when I bought it with 78K on the clock. I figured 45K was reasonable relative to the price ($115 ea...

    Hey, Robert....

    I'm curious about the weight difference between our trucks, '06/'02 generally. With a 380# sleeper, 350#-plus loaded bedbox, full tank and my fat butt onboard....here's my weightslip: In a couple of weeks the sleeper comes off, I'm switching to a below-the-rails bedbox, and my 200# 5er...

    What is everone's thought on the 6spd

    I love my ZF-6. I've never used granny/1st, and with up to 10K trailer weight I've never slipped the clutch....it walks off in 2nd gear w/3.73s. Only complaint I ever had was scratchy 2nd to 3rd shifts which I learned to correct by just staying in 2nd long enough to get rolling and then pull...

    Well guys, I fianlly did it...

    Fuel police

    Probably won't be long before they're down here, too. Isn't greed a wonderful thing? I know of four area stations that didn't have diesel that have put in tanks and are now advertising "off road/farm" fuel. And there always seems to be a pickup at their pumps. The fact that 87 gas prices...

    Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin Dies.......

    I feel a sense of personal loss as I really enjoyed his programs, and I'll miss the ones he won't have the chance to produce in the future. But I wasn't exactly shocked at the news....I'd have been shocked if he'd been run down by a bus, in a plane crash, or choking on too big a bite of...

    longevity question?

    Price sounds high. A year ago I bought the F-350 w/78K miles in my siggy for $23K out the door and the Ford dealer threw in a RhinoLiner, new tires, and first service free of charge. As for longevity, OASIS showed it had a fuel leak at 16K miles and has otherwise been problem free. I'm...

    stacks????

    I would only consider them if I had the rear cab corners full-length inside radiused to house them. I wouldn't want them in a through=the-bed configuration. Definitely mitered.:sweet

    All you communications folks.....

    Commercial, Amateur, CB, Emergency, lowly civil servants....makes me no nevermind. If you key a microphone....what, where, when and why do you operate? Seems to be some interest here, but I haven't found a lot in my searches (I'm a late arrival to SDD, remember?). I've read several comments...

    Serious Chickenbanders....

    If you haven't picked up one of these, you need to. No space available to add to my shack, so I ticked the old woman off by clearing off one of my dresser tops.:D

    sort of quiet around here today

    Same on my end....working and pretty busy but it's my short week and I roll out of here at 0600 and don't come back until 1800 Wed. I'm about to go nuts peddling motorcycle parts....don't even have time to play with my "new" transceiver. Sometime it sucks being me, but I'm still happy, and...

    Pet-safe weed killer?

    IPI #145 Aquatic Weed Control Over the counter stuff is relatively worthless. If you want to get serious and keep your pets away from it for 48 hrs, go with Athea #320 Barren. One application will kill trees and anything else you spray it on. I lost a cat with this one.

    serious opinions needed

    When I was your age I'd already walked the same miles in your shoes....but my failures were due to my inability/unwillingness to manage money. Not only was I not able to keep my businesses afloat, the 20-hour days helped me wreck two marriages. I failed in every area of my life. I locked into...
