    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Drove the truck in to the work shop, lotsa mangled 1/4" plate, a bent piece of 1/2" plate, 3 sheared 3/4" bolts, and a 3/8" thick bracket with a broken weld, didn't think I clipped the tree that hard, shows what 5' of leverage with a cclb 4x4 behind it at 5mph will do.... Picture of the 1/4"...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    It's a plow mount and hydraulic unit from a Meyer commercial angle plow, I built the a frame from 2" 3/8 wall square tubing, and the blade is 4 xl moldboard extensions from cat 140 motor graders I welded together, 10' wide with a used motor grader cutting edge. Might not be as tall as a...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I've been clearing snow today, trying to stay ahead of it because my idi has better cab heat than my wheel loader, and I don't feel like being cold... Thought I broke a mounting bolt, turns out I bent the 1/4" thick mounting plate along the frame when I clipped a tree with the left side of the...

    Who's smarter?

    I've never financed a vehicle, heck, aside from a small personal loan from my bank (so I could get the history to get my mortgage), the only loan I've taken out was my mortgage. I make enough to afford a new car, but my wife doesn't trust the new stuff with all the electronics anymore than I do...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Today I finished getting the truck *relatively* fully roadworthy again. Sold the ranger a couple weeks ago, since my DD is my service truck, I hadn't put 2000 miles on the ranger in the past year and a half, figured I may as well get rid of it and get the IDI back to DD status. Sold the ranger...

    F-Super Duty Chewing Belts

    A junkyard a/c compressor that spins freely would be cheaper around my parts.

    What else do you drive?

    I only use my truck as a hauler these days, last time I used it was a few months ago to haul home 2 extended cab Ford Rangers (91&94) I acquired, will be mounting the plow in a month or so. Currently daily driving the '94 Ranger, the '91 donated the transmission to it and wouldn't run, so the...

    Oreillys only considers other auto parts stores competitors. It's going to depend on the manager if they'll price match TSC. Napa is $14 though...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I'm a little late to the party, but I call B.S. Aside from one day I needed to plow some snow, my truck's been plugged in since early October without running........ Crane truck gets plugged in from October 1 - April 15 every year no matter the weather, and it doesn't get started in that...

    want to trade for a seat for a suburban

    Need a driver's seat for a 1998 suburban. Tan heated leather. Really just need the seat bottom (or even a seat bottom frame), it broke by the left front mounting bolt so now it has a "gangster lean" that irritates me. I have a 1991 F-150 XLT extended cab with tan interior (dash not available...

    25-100 bucks depending on the buyer. There's one on ebay right now for $50 that nobody's bidding on.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Blurry picture, but I got my plow functional. I have to cut about a foot off each end still, I need it to be 8', it's currently about 10'. I'm pretty sure it'll last, heavy SOB, it's a 3/4" thick moldboard.......
