April Meet at The Ranch
Surely Does Matt! Looks great!
Took me a while to figure this out..... on the Jeep web sites they talk about YJ's and TJ's. (Yuppie Jeeps and Tough Jeeps... mostly off roaders).
My Jeep is a YJ.
Your truck use to be a TCTD..... now it looks like a YCTD!

Its much lighter now. feels like a completely different truck. It sure looks like a completely different truck anyway.
The funniest thing was the next day I was looking at all of the stuff I had loose in the bed and I was shocked that it was all still there, I'm used to things blowing off when their not tied down.

Congratulations Max!
Sounds like a great job, and with a Walmart in Peetz, you can look forward to indoor plumbing.
No need to worry about the rear main, either - I bet you can add a quart faster than it can leak, so you might as well wait until the clutch is changed to fix it.

Well It was not a rear main after I went to Cummins to pick on up $70 ish. Turns out it was the dipstick tube broke in half at the filter canister bracket, Cummins has to order one so I pulled it off welded it up, welded a brace to the side to stiffen the joint and then covered all that with a little JB weld to cover up the holes... good as new ish
I checked in on Charlie's "Chigger Ranch" yesterday. Looks like he's got a bumper crop out there this year. If we can just find a market for them, El Presidente will be able to buy us all new trucks with plenty of cash left over.
OK, so it may not have been that funny....but it's not a thread-killer. Where is everyone?
I finally picked up a good mower on Craigslist. Found a 48" JD, along with a spreader/aerator and a dump trailer. Took me 2 hours to do everything in the yard yesterday. WAY better than before when it was almost 2 hours just for mowing. And it's a good thing I took extra trailer as Andrea found a treadmill for sale on Craigslist, so I picked up everything all at once since they were in the same area. How ironic, buy a riding mower to stop walking in the yard and a treadmill to start walking in the house.
The guy did think I was a little crazy when I showed up to pick up a treadmill with a gooseneck trailer.

And I thought CTD guys were obsessed with bombing!

Justin, I know your lot is bigger, but I have never understood the riding mower 'craze' (on residential property) in this part of the country??
Personally, Walking behind my JD Power mower is fine for my 1/2+ acre yard. Some weeks it is the only real exercise I get!
Bigger lots.... riding makes sense!
But I laugh everytime I see the guy across the street (smaller lot than mine) try to pick his way around his tool shed, his trees and his mailbox with out driving off off the curb!

I can picture the looks you got driving down the road with just a treadmill on a gooseneck! Wish I'd seen it.

48" worked out perfectly yesterday. Even picked up the section between the sidewalk and house without any issues. Glad I did the 48" over the 42" since it extends past the wheels far enough that I don't have to trim around everything with the weed eater as much.
But the final result was pro all the way, 6 straps (including one of my 10K ones) with things along the full length of the trailer.
Ha, overkill ??? I say not.
I am still around, went to cummins to get the rear main that I did not need
but ended up getting the oil changing supplies and the dadburn fleetgaurd filter would not screw on...

What chiggers? I have NEVER had a chigger bite up there.





OMG Justin, we have a proper name for that place now!!
