Make sure you use grease. I got tired of that problem and put a bolt with a plastic bushing. Works good. I've only replaced the plastic bushing once in the past 5 years.

after you put the little pin thing through the hole in the bushing drill a hole and put washer and a cotter pin, mine broke the bushing
one time down in the smoky mountains and I slid a hair pin from my receiver pin in the slot and it stayed till I got home.

Ramcharger is crawling along, I got sick as hell the last few days and just got back on my feet.

I've got the rear D70 sitting in front of it waiting, and I redid the line from the prop valve to the front brakes since our master cylinders are setup backward from the actual brake positions.

Hopefully not too much longer before it rolls on its own.

Is your arch over the axle centered over the axle? I think that'd help me. Mine's set farther back so the end dumps exactly half way between the end of the wheel well and the bumper.

I tried to get it as close to center as I could. although it is maybe 6" from the tire lol..

Oh compromises. I'm tired of a spare taking up bed space, and I admit that I'm OCD about my exhaust. It has to be half way between the wheel and bumper, angling down. I think I'm going to have to hang the spare and work around it.

Went and busted my fuel cone doing a little more grinding on it this weekend. I dunno if I should find another stock one to grind or just get an aftermarket one...

[DodgeFreak]

Ill pm you once I get home.

Glad to hear the RC is coming along. I'm trying to find a plug for my RC fuel tank right now.

Yeah, I've been using grease. Not sure why I've been having so many problems with the damn wipers.

On another note, a Sgt. from work has a Remington Model 31, 12 gauge shotgun for sale and he said he'll sell it to a fellow Officer for $200. I believe he said it was built in 1978 and was previously used by another police department before they retired it. I may have to take him up on that offer.

I woke up to a dusting of snow this morning. I'm contemplating going back to bed to if it's just a bad dream.

[peobryant]

Yep. It went from 80* and sunny yesterday to 34* and snowing today. Of course it happens right as my weekend starts too.

[DMan1198]

It's snowing here as well. Damn third winter

[Tacoclaw]

Crime never takes a weekend off.

[DMan1198]

Oh well. If the roads are wet I can have some shenanigans on the way home

Booya! Passed the test and got the job!!! The meet and greet with the supervisors and crew leaders is tomorrow. Pretty pumped. I have been blessed so many times in the last year. Got married to a great woman who is now carrying our child, and now landed my dream job.

Life is good.
