So what did you do with your truck today?

I washed the thing today (was covered in tree sap and dust. I also worked on de-rusting some parts I'm going to repaint and I started cutting the rusted out lower corners on my replacment radiator core support.

Today was great. I was able to get my camper shell taken off, clean out the bed, install my new toolbox, re-tint the rear window, and do my 3g alternator swap. Tomorrow me and my girlfriend are going to get tires on her mustang, put a new pcv line on it, and then go do some Halloween themed stuff at a pumpkin patch. The weekend is looking good so far!

Today I hauled stock in my 28 foot stock trailer. I do it several times a week, but since I’m on the forum I figured I would post about it the trailer is all steel and weighs a little over 6000 unloaded, so when you load it up with cattle, it weighs several thousand metric truckloads the truck pulled it real well, but my ip is getting weak. I can’t wait for my 90cc pump from @Thewespaul to get here!!

Our camping plans for this weekend changed a little bit. we still went, but the location and the number of people changed. I went with a friend (Brandon) and his 12-year-old-next-weekend oldest daughter, Emma. Neither one had ridden a three wheeler outside of around their yard a week ago. They both did very well. Brandon's wife and two younger girls had to stay home. We were going up to the Nebraska National Forest (yes there is such a thing) outside Halsey, NE, but we ended up going 5 or 6 miles west of Dodge City, KS and rode in the dried river bed there. It was for the best with Emma since most of the riding isn't very difficult there. We rode for at least 6 hours today and we all had a blast. At one point, I found a big tumbleweed and stuck it on Emma's rear rack. We told her that she was now camouflaged from behind and she thought it was cool so she left it there for a while.

I would ask if your name was Heath, or Rett, but they live in Idaho, not Canada...

Skip to about 4 minutes...

Have you done anything with it yet? It will probably run like a champ. Other than a hole in the right fender and some tires, it doesn't look like it needs much.

Yep. That's uaually about all it takes to get those old Hondas running again. I've never done the heat trick before. I'll usually stick a flat blade screwdriver into the air filter side of the carb and give a small pry up on the bottom of the carb slide and that's all it takes to get it free again. Here, again, this one looks to be in pretty good shape other than the rear fenders and seat foam/cover. For the life of me though, I can't figure out why anybody would want to run mud tires on a sport trike. His little brother had a 350X? I've had one since 2003. Here it is in action last Saturday.

I haven't done anything to it aside from move it here. It's now on a skid under a tarp, hibernating while the already kilometer thick ice spreads across the barren wasteland of the Cariboo. Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a teensy bit about ice, but the little fella is a spring project. Turns over fine and has a spark but the carb is encrusted with several meters of crystals, shellac, 10 foot long stalactites and hosts a couple hundred sleeping fruit bats.

Fact is I have several client quads in sick-bay at present...

I bought this 7.3 a couple weeks ago. Pulled a trailer with it for the first time. 30 ft feather light. I only had a few hundred pounds of critters in it so basically empty for 160 miles. It took forever to get up to speed but once I was there it held it really well. My last truck was a LBZ Duramax deleted and tuned. It was a hot rod compared to this 7.3.

Looks like a powerstroke? Those were good, solid machines, if you don't mind having a computer.

If it's anything like our winter so far, you aren't exaggerating much. It hasn't been terribly cold, but we have had way too much precipitation since fall of last year, and there is no sign of the snow stopping for very long.

Was driving down the highway today (in my other car) and saw a guy in an IDI driving it while wearing noise reducing earmuffs

I've been that guy before... back when N/A and windows open. (And before I knew having both ears plugged was illegal)

Took Arrow hunting today. For a slightly different species than most might expect. Instead of taking a rifle I took my buzzsaw and the game is already dead. Beetle-killed in fact. Standing dead lodgepole pine. Just gotta sneak up on it real quiet like so's you don't ***** it deeper into the bush, and pounce! Gotcha! Loaded about 1000lbs of wood and she drove like a dream. Didn't even need 4x4 on Mahood lake rd. (Snow covered dirt road)

Gotta do something about rattles! I hate rattles, squeaks and wind noise. Guess I'm doomed. Going back for a bigger load tomorrow. About 40 clicks up mostly forest service roads. Most quite steep, 15+% grade sometimes. Walk in the park though.

Hooked the front end in a hidden ditch and got stuck while doing a 900 point course reversal on a very narrow switch-back, but simply dropped to 4L and just let the clutch out in reverse, at idle. She slowly gained purchase and crawled out just fine. Buddy's gonna give me a rusty 4x8x1/2" sheet of plate steel I'll likely just leave in the box for winter.

Edit: forgot to say, bf-nowhere Saskatchewan this morning set a new earliest record low temp: old record was -14, new one = -27!
