In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Have you tried Warn for the actuator knobs? (I don't know what they're called either)

Floyd got an airing in the 50+ sunshine day warmed him up good and put a few miles on.

If you can stand the smell moth balls work pretty good at keeping mice out of vehicles. Stick one in the air cleaner box and one in the glove box and one under the carpet.

Put a new carb on my weedeater. $12 delivered to my door. Carb, lines, filters, spark plug. Took about 15 minutes to install and started first pull.

My Dad was stationed in Alaska when he was in the Army in the mid 60s. the running joke there in the summer was that they saw a plane come into the grass strip next to the base and they would have a fuel truck half way out to meet it before they realized it was a mosquito.

Picked up more wood at The Home Depot with the 2011 in preparation for building an extension on the car port. Two Rangers are longer than a Ranger and a compact SUV. Things are poking out now that shouldn't be.

My credo
I poop in the furnace.
I can't drive so technically I didn't do anything to it, but I had my friend borrow it and the first thing he does when he gets in is spill my leftover can of soup i had sitting on the floor! Why can't someone invented a spill proof can of soup!?

Fortunately it was not clam chowdah this time, it was italian wedding.

Why would leave an open can of soup sitting in your truck?!?!?

I have the same problem when I buy off-the-rack underwear.

& 🤔 hmmm, never thought of keeping the leftovers on the truck floor. Thanks for the idea and heads up. I’ll order a “be careful of soup on the floor” keychain for when I lend it out.

& finally, we need to get rid of the trucks and go into the packaging business. This photo doesn’t do justice to how ridiculously big the shipping envelope was for the rear end gasket. I think the 87 4wd will be on the road by the weekend. Yeah!

Got my bumper from Affordable Off Road today, UPS guy looked excited. Extremely surprised it came so fast, but I think the guys shop is not too far from me.

Looks like it should fit well.

I plan on welding some eyelets onto the face of it so I have something to smash my leg into in the dark. Then I'll paint it.

Thats a pretty big gasket for your rear end. Is that like one of those inflatable donut pillows for when you have hemorrhoids?

Today I used my ranger to pull a literal couch on wheels through a city.
My friend bought a crappy ice shanty that collapsed recently so he took it down. But he now had this small trailer... so we decided to mount a reclining couch (with a seat belt out of a bus), an end table, and a lamp all onto this trailer and we put a generator in the bed to run the lamp. He was reading Of Mice And Men going 30-40mph with his feet up in slippers and a robe 😂😂 always a good day when you can make several cops laugh😂

I was wondering how long it would take someone to comment. LOL
