  1. I was clearing out a sendero for a feeder and knocking down cedar trees when I noticed the smell of burning anti-freeze. I evidently had a stick come through the front end of the tractor and punch a hole right through the radiator. I was trying to be very careful to lift all the low branches up and fold the tree over so this didn't happen. I did a shit job clearly. So I had to bring the tractor back home to take to the dealership. They informed me it would be over a month before they could get to it so I ordered a new one to install myself that may or may not be here in 2 weeks. This happened at the prefect time as well since I am expecting delivery of a new cabin in 2 weeks and I still need to finish padding out the area I am dropping it. If it ain't one thing it is another.
  2. This is a complete csb, but I had a badass picture on a game cam from one of the RANCH water troughs. It was a giant coachwhip. The water trough is 6' long and the snake was laying on the rim almost the entire length with another foot in the water drinking/chilling. It was by far the biggest coachwhip I have seen. There are several I have seen but shit this thing was awesome. I assumed nobody would delete the pictures after I told them to save them and let them go through the rest of the pictures. Alas, I have a wife and we have a stupid shit wives do thread for a reason.
  3. No that is all our wives. I got home today and picked up the 5 cans of diet drpepper she finished 1/2 of and just gave up on. I have 2 boys and a wife that I cannot keep up with cleaning. Buncha assholes
  4. This is my house as well. I have maybe one soda a month, but it never fails that I go to get one and there are none in the fridge with 2 cases sitting on the ground next to the fridge.
  5. Well they markup the part as well. And I would bet, based on videos, it will take me over 4 hrs. I am a very handy guy and do 99% of my own work on anything I can possibly do just to say I did it. I dont think 1k is an unreasonable amount of money to pay a shop for that work. For me it isn't about the money, it is about the experience. I like doing shit like this if I can. I just finished tearing down my ranch mule to clean the intake, adjust the valves, replace the drive belt, etc. The thing went from running like shit to better than factory and it was fun.
  6. How can you take videos off private facebook groups? I have to get one downloaded somehow and share it with the world.
  7. Yeah I read that doing both makes it bulletproof but I might just start with the stabilizer. I am 99% sure I can install it myself so it looks like it will be $500 or less.
  8. How much did that BDS setup run you? I want to get them installed. Also read somewhere that adjusting the caster would help prevent the wobble and premature wear on the suspension.
  9. This is poetic. Stupid fucker clearly has more money than sense and the gods proved it.
  10. I wont ruin anything but there is a section I got to in this game and played it something like 20 times before realizing the best way to handle it is a full on mad dash through everything. There was next to no way to map out the movements of the NPC's and they seemed to have dogs everywhere I went. You cant hide from those fuckers. I killed so many guys and dogs only to have even more show up. It was clear I needed to ignore the loot and just run Forrest run. And as far as the reviews, I give it a 9/10. One of the top games I have ever see/played.
  11. Good luck on that. It is the tensioners from what I read and is a wild goose chase that will cost more than it is worth. I just ignored it on my last truck and traded it in at 100k. They have to replace chain, phasers? Whaateverthe fuck. Basically a bunch of money for essentially a noise.
  12. My 2012 FX4 has Bilsteins all around. Big fan. They lifted truck about an inch. There are 2 to 3 settings on them, so you can go up or down an inch or two. No need for a level. Add bigger tires, probably gain another 1/2 inch. Listen to this guy, he is pre-med. I had a set of bilsteins on my last truck. Set second to highest setting. Didnt change geometry like a block and were very good shocks. Would recommend them to anyone and the price is right.
  13. If I get pulled over in wilco I expect atleast 2 felony counts of whateverthefucktheydecide at the minimum. I wont even drive through that armpitasshole of central Texas. Fuck those worthless sobs
  14. I am calling our property a ranch and I dont give two shits what anyone says about it. I think I am going to start calling my suburban house a ranch as well. I got chickens and an atv. Fuckit, I have two ranches!
  15. I just stopped after a 12 hour marathon play. This shit is too good. I do remember getting sorta tired of the long "play along" cutscene but it hasn't bothered me yet. The story is good and playing the whole time on pins and needles is fun as hell. This is the only time I will say this, fuck the dogs. Mfers are a pita.
  16. My friend only bangs Instagram influencer 10s and said he gets 25mpg with 15k behind his Cummins. He also is into bucking physics. Also, your 'friend' is full of fucking shit bud. He doesnt get that mileage with no load. Not a chance.
  17. Gotcha. I am very leery at trying them out after the last sets but I will refrain from shitting on them till we have the balls to buy more. They likely lost us for good since we have had great results with the open country toyos. They are true 65k tires for us so far and from reports perform excellent in the slop per our field guys.
  18. We ran on every vehicle for years. Once they went to the atko2 we have several sets barely make it to 40k. Cupped like a mf'er. I am not a fan after that cost sink. We easily ran the old ones 60k+ hell they would dry rot bf they ran out of tread. This is coming from the no1 bfg fanboy for the last 20+ years prior to the changes.
  19. I pulled punches but avoid bfg's imo. They ruined the compound and dont work for shit on our fleet. Cost/longevity is a joke compared to the historical compound.
  20. We tried them on our field trucks and didnt like the wear. Honestly, I am not sure there is anyone that makes a good tire anymore for a 250+. We are running toyos and michelins on trucks that have less offroad demand. Michelins are the gold standard but if you dont mind the road noise, toyo seems good in the sloppy shit. We run 10 f250s and some other smaller trucks. Just look for mileage rated tires and avoid non rated imo.
  21. Well it's a good thing I dont have jet money or I would be batting a cool .000
  22. I was out on it all day so no need. Motor is running great. Something is wrong with the prop but it towed fine back to the dock.
  23. There are many cheaper and I would argue cooler ways to kill yourself. Nope.
