Your truck doesn't look like its overloaded but those forks sure have been!
It might not be overloaded but at least it’s not a pavement princess. Yeah and I am really gonna overload them to bend them back, it will take a lot of hydraulic pressure and heat to rebend.

I'll start a thread about it eventually, but since most of the die hards congregate here I wanted to let y'all know that I got 2 turbo set ups to sell. One factory turbo and one aftermarket. If one of you guys that are on here regular are interested PM me and I'll be glad to work you up a super deal. If none of you hit me up I'll put them on the market place for "what they're worth" and sell them to one of the "no so regulars".
Normally I'd be at least curious enough to see what you want for them but the shipping would be a deal breaker. We both know that Fed Ex won't give you any special rates either. Hopefully someone will be able to get some use out of them.

If one of you regulars are interested, we'll work it out.

Be careful. I've attempted to straighten things like that before only to have it snap in half and go flying.

Just returned from another successful 1800 mile road trip. The old IDI worked great, central PA to northern Maine and back to PA. Camped near Allagash river.
That IDI of yours always catches my eye. Really is one of the cleanest trucks I've seen in person.
Is Maine in rifle season yet?

Thanks! I try to take care of it but also use it. Each year prior to driving to Maine I hose down the underside with a pump garden sprayer loaded with used motor oil and diesel. Yes, I was hunting deer and this year finally connected with a nice Northwoods buck. 175lb 10 point. If you're a deer Hunter and never tried tracking deer in the snow, I highly recommend it. Completely different than stand hunting. Northwoods is 3 million acres open to the public and no "posted" land with few deer per square mile. In my opinion it's the Superbowl of fair chase deer hunting.

Nice deer.

I used to know an old guy who always said that he hoped that we'd have snow right before opening morning of rifle season so it would be easier to track the deer. We usually didn't. Either way, he usually didn't get very far from the truck. When it did snow, he usually hid inside his house anyway so I never could understand him wishing that we would get snow.

Today, I took the truck out and knocked some things over. A friend wanted me to clear some trees out around his farm house. We started by clearing some smaller, brushy stuff out from along his driveway, then we dropped some bigger trees. I don't think that we did too bad for a couple of middle aged, out of shape guys in about 3 1/2 hours. I actually ended up with a decent amount of firewood. I didn't think that I was going to get that much since we were mostly cutting green trees that had leaves on them 5 or 6 weeks ago. There's at least as much wood volume out there ready for next year. We probably moved at least 75% as much wood volume in smaller crap that I won't burn.

Trees expand when they hit the ground, I'm certain of this. Because while they are standing, it's obvious that there's not that much brush, but when they hit the ground the brush mysteriously multiplys.

Make a list, cross off the list, make a new list.
Last night I crossed off everything on the last couple week list. Made a new one for today. Mounted the trans tunnel shield. Shift boot, and made a simple block off plate.
