The post whore thread.

I had my own version of Princess Bride lines today for weed control.


Mine was:.... Hello, my name is Enigo Montoya, you grew in the rocks....prepare to die!!!!.

Also:..... I've spent my whole life looking for the five fingered weed, and when I find him, he will die.


You ever had conversations with weeds that you were killing? I have, and I meant it.

"Fuck you, Goat Head!!!". Or "Drink some of this up, you little son of a bitch".

:)

The goat head thing was more with the propane torch though.

All that work I did over the years, and the ex just dropped the ball on those goat heads. Oh well.

I have a floor jack, actually also a motorcycle jack that might work better - you’re welcome to.

Hey brother....thank you. Neither of those would work for the size of these tubing arrangements.

We have a proper jack at work that is unsafe because it leaks down, and should be replaced or repaired. Unfortunately, I might have to use a lift and several jack stands to keep stuff stable enough. I need to get it done though.

Thanks again.

Very cool! Let me know when you're coming.

Hey, GG.

You get a break soon, that will be a good thing.

The guy at the differential shop is probably thinking he'll never hear from me again, it's been a while and that housing is waiting on me to get stuff tacked up and sent back to him as well. Life got in the way for a bit, and I have to forego the pain issues in order to get this stuff done.

Seems like something a phone call would fix.

With Jim at the Diff shop, yes.

Yes it would explain third or fourth delay, and he probably ordered the gear set and it's just sitting there. I also owe him for a custom made t-case output flange.

I don't think he wants phone calls, he wants jobs and checks.

I also can't leave the truck immobile for extended periods of time, this truck is at work. I'm trying to do the best I can considering the circumstances.

From what I understand, you really have to know what you're doing to install gears in a differential. What about replacing the gears in a T-case? Is it the same thing where you have to adjust tension and stuff, or is it just take the old stuff out and bolt the new stuff in?

I can go to a 3:1 ratio T-case in my Amigo for $350 with just the gears, or $1,500 in an assembled T-case. Quite the difference.
