So what did you do with your truck today?

[Exhumis]

Times two!

It's a Sony Xav-v10bt. I picked it up off ebay for $150. It's actually a single double, sorta like a single din attached to a double din screen. It doesn't have a disc player so it's even more compact. I like that it has a volume knob, I'm old school that way. The unit wakes up really fast too.

Thank you!

Boy all of you guys make me feel bad. All I did was tighten my alternator belt and pull the cardboard out from in front of my radiator.

That’s more than I did my truck just got to work today, and the only thing I did to it was “fix” the ac/heater selector by slipping the cable back onto the blend door lever

 

[IDIBRONCO]

Mine is on the list for some more major work, just not right now.

I got a little windshield time. Took this loader and dropped it off for the time being.

Freed the trailer up to grab my buddies zero turn for yet another repair. For the love of God, stay away from anything Bad Boy makes. This thing has been a total POS. I’ve rebuilt the underside because the drives ripped themselves off. Literally. Did a head gasket. Now the drives need adjusted because I damn near ran it through the side of the house starting it with a screwdriver because the key doesn’t work. Now I have to weld the mower deck linkage back together.

This thing needs to just die.

Gave ‘er the ol’ pshhh pshh round two.

the passenger side is all done now, so I have the driver side, a bit on the hood, and a few spots here and there, and the truck is rust-free.
Oh, and the floor pan. There’s some rot there as well.

fun stuff! Gotta love old FERDs.

My only concern is how little material there is to hold it. Time will tell.

clean all the antifreeze residue off of it and after you get the hose pushed on it squirt some ultra RTV under there and that will anchor it to the radiator and it won't flex and break off.
Off roader trick from long ago.

Spent most of my morning riding shotgun. Such a weird feeling in your own truck. Mom wanted to go out and get some gardening stuff. Now I’m trying to figure it if I want to keep 35’s or go down to 33’s when I get new tires

As odd as that feels, It's even more odd seeing it go down the road without you. Dad borrowed my truck once and I passed him on the highway (I was working). THAT'S a weird feeling!

I agree! The weirdest part for me was that it sounder quite a bit different from outside when it’s driving compared to the drivers seat

I vote you keep the 35s, although for city driving you might get better mileage with 33’s.

my favorite tire brand is Treadwright. They offer free shipping on all their tires, they are unbeatable in the snow and mud, they have a super good warranty system, and the tires are only $169 each, that price applies to all their tires. There’s a lot of other reasons I love Treadwrights too, but I tried to keep the list short

I'll just say that I've had numerous issues with mine, and will NOT be buying another set, at least for anything spending any appreciable time on the highway. Warranties are great, but they don't cover the fender when they blow out, and they don't cover the truck sitting for two weeks while you wait for a new tire to come in the mail.

I'm glad you've had good luck with them, I really am. I just wanted to point out to anyone reading they have their "less than desirable" reviews as well.

They do have some issues with tires with certain tread patterns. Also, maybe I just got lucky with the quality of my set also, we do run them on all our snowplow rigs and all but one of our tow rigs. But I do have to agree with you @chillman88. It is good to keep in mind they are remolded tires, so they are mostly new, but do have a higher failure rate than a truly brand new tire. Although I’ve never had trouble with them, I know some others who have

I say that it depends. Do you want Mom to drive it more often? Then get the 33's if you want to keep her out of your truck, maybe even go up to 37's.
