Ah, a Husky
What HP? Engine?
I hear those are really good. The trunions or bearings or both are really huge. I was comparing those to my Skagg. Def commercial quality
Good long term purchase

So after I drove over the Nikon making it less reckonizable, it was time to get ready for church anyway.
I worked pulling security for a hope over heroin event at my church. Our security team provides security for the church so we covered this as well. During the event the weather turned cold, dropping from the 50's down into the high 30's.
The program goes after the core of the problem which is no or a broken relationship with Christ. They don't seek to stop the addiction, they go after the whole broken man and bring him into a proper relationship with his creator.
Last night around 11PM, I watched almost twenty men give their lives to the Lord, and get baptised...in very cold water, full immersion
Now that was worth the sore back and knees I currently sport!

Don, I just noticed you have the ball joints on top of the arms. I believe they go on the bottom (push on the arm vs push on the bolts).
It may affect the geometry a little, but Safety is a bigger thing!

Next think I did was to grind away the steering limit stops maybe 1/4"
Knowing this will place an obscene angle on the front CV shafts, I said what the heck and did it anyway!

Then I went shiffing around and right away, I think I spotted the culprit
Take a look at this: A loose Idler arm with its double shear Cognito truss and a nut nearly backed off
Well following some noise from my impact gun, that nut found ground zero once again

« on: May 06, 2017, 05:18:12 PM »
All that went back together fairly quickly. I had used anti-seize on the barrel of the old joints, so they seperated quite easily

The Cognito UCA's use a different ball joint that the stocker, but I got SOOOO lucky scoring two.
I went over to Orilleys Auto Parts to get two new ones
The kind lady working there plucked the two she had off the shelf, opened the box and found some missing parts in either box. Seems they had sold them before, and had taken them back minus some of the hardware.
They cost $46 apiece new, so we settled on $50 for the pair and I left a happy camper.

I'm not sure those ball joints had failed, but considering the ripped up boots, I was definitely uncomfortable with them.

I noticed a funny sound coming from the front end
It is a rubbing sound like a brake caliper is dragging, but only when going around right hand turns.
I think my particuliar front suspension/steering undergoes unusally harsh treatment. First of all it is lifted six inches and is moving 35" tires around
Secondly the front is fighting against the locked up rear axle. Not much but it no doubt plays a part.
Next, this truck goes off road quite a bit. Not big deep mud pits, but uneven rocky roads, every week.
So my first suspect was the wheel bearings, but a quick check of those, showed them to be as tight as the lock on Obamas birth records.
a few times before I ran into some unusual noises and it turned out to be ball joints twice and the tie rod ends once.
I had those baseball bat looking tie rods installed two years ago and I managed to keep them greased.
With all that in mind, I hunted down two brandly new Moog upper ball joints.
The old emergency auto zone junk rubber boots had rotted within 6 months. That is a Chinese trademark right there!

had a little storm blow thru here Thursday night...(kind of a freak thing) got a couple branches on the ground and lost power for like 10-12 hours.
found this at lowes for like $500 and snatched it right up. I have a bit of $$$ tied up in 2 deep freezers, and I cant let that stuff go bad for a measly little power outage.

We all know the drill....a swastika is painted on a church and immediately white men (and recently white Trump supporters) are blamed. After a few weeks or months of investigation we find out it was a minority/a liberal/ etc. who actually did it. Of course there is usually little coverage of who actually did it and some media organizations actually refuse to set the record straight because they claim that these things do happen so don't want to "confuse" people or minimize the times it actually happens. Unreal.
This is a pretty good site to verify who actually committed these fake hate crimes. Just figured I would pass it on. Good reference to have to blast back at the crazy liberals who fall for this nonsense hook, line and sinker.

These liberals and their media are enemies of America Look no further as the bolchevicks These people on the left are them, and they are very dangerous Freedom will not pass from our hands Not without it costing all of theirs, and most of our lives Freedom comes from God And God shall not be set asunder.

So these are two versions of Smoked salmon sacchetti pasta that we came up with at the pub; one with alfredo and the other with pesto and heavy cream for the sauce. both have smoked salmon, sundried tomatoes, kalamata olives, red onions and mushrooms and a little parm. sauté onions mushrooms and tomatoes in butter add heavy cream and reduce to thicken, couple tablespoons of pesto and fold in salmon toss w/ the chopped up kalamatas and sprinkle a little parm. I put a dollop of the smoked salmon and chive cream cheese in the center like a pad of butter and it blended in pretty good. I like the alfredo just as much, and way easier to make with already prepped sauce.
Tatter, Dunno that doesn't look right bro Whoever set it outside near where you were weed wackin' Well, I'd talk to em' if I were you ;-)

A US Navy Aviator is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the RAF exchange pilot that lives next-door.
Before she says a word, Bob says, "I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel." After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.
The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, "Who was that?" "It was Bob the next door neighbor," she replies. "Great," the husband says, "did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?"

On this topic, my profile pic is a target that I can send to anybody that wants. It is an 8 1/2 X 11.
I'll maybe add a picture here if it doesn't work and anyone wants let me know.
Hey Sam, Maybe you could post up the print file down in the knowledge base section, or in the shooting section where we could make it a sticky. I could have used it just yesterday! I was instructing pistol/M4/shotgun at my farm. We spray painted targets onto the walls of my old farm house there. Put over a thousand rounds through them. A stack of paper would have helped...as the walls developed gaping holes.

President Trump Realigning Geo-Political Alliances, and Few Paying Attention…
Posted on April 15, 2017 by sundance
Maybe it’s because the complexity is difficult to distill; maybe it’s because some just can’t give President Trump any credit; or maybe it’s because the scope is too challenging to comprehend against the constant belittlement meme du jour; regardless of reason, President Trump is fundamentally realigning international geo-political alliances and almost no-one is connecting the dots.
President Trump obviously held a long-ball strategy with the Chinese; he’s described the approach in his books and lived the approach in his business life:
At the outset, position yourself at the furthest oppositional point when it costs you nothing; then leverage inward toward your opponent as they expend their resources to meet your stance.
Almost no-one is noting the scope of what President Trump has accomplished simply by positioning himself at the furthest extreme from the best interests of China, and then working his leverage back toward dual-interests as the Chinese expend capital to meet the point of mutual benefit.
President Trump has expended nothing other than his sheer will, and yet he has leveraged gains that are jaw-droppingly consequential.
What’s the goal of identifying China as a currency manipulator? To stop China from manipulating currency, right? Well, arm-chair opposition says President Trump has reversed his position simply by ‘not doing something’. However, that opposition doesn’t seem to acknowledge the end-goal of the labeling has been achieved without expending an effort. The doing is unnecessary when merely the threat of the doing changes the behavior of the doer.
In two days, April 6th and April 7th, President Trump met with Chinese President Xi Jinping. What actions has President Trump taken, other than ‘not’ doing something, and what actions has President Xi Jinping taken?
At the outset, position yourself at the furthest oppositional point when it costs you nothing, and leverage inward toward your opponent as they expend their resources to meet your stance.
Think about this when considering the consequences:
China agrees to the framework of a 100 day outline to assemble the trade way-points for renegotiated bi-lateral trade deals.
What did that action cost Trump?
For the first time ever, China did not support Russia in a U.N. Security Council veto vote surrounding Syria. China abstained.
What did that action cost Trump?
China turned around 12 fully loaded cargo ships laden with imported coal from North Korea. 400,000 metric tonnes refused unloading. China begins an embargo against North Korean coal. China begins importing coking coal for steel-making from the U.S. coal mines.
What did that action cost Trump?
Additionally, in furtherance of economic sanctions – China halts oil exports to North Korea.
What did that action cost Trump?
Additionally, in furtherance of political isolation – China halts direct flights between Beijing, China and Pyongyang, North Korea.
What did that action cost Trump?
And in the most stunning seismic shift of geo-political alliances, China says it is now open to discussions of a denuclearized North Korea, meaning getting rid of N-Korean nukes, WITHOUT N-Korea being included in the talks. Hello? China, the United States, Japan, Russia and South Korea discussing how to de-nuke North Korea. (A new Marshal Plan of sorts)
What did that action cost Trump?
See how this works? What affirmative action did President Trump have to take in order to get China to move toward the position of mutual benefit?
Answer: None!
Foolish people think President Trump doesn’t know what he’s doing. Again:
…Position yourself at the furthest oppositional point when it costs you nothing, and leverage inward toward your opponent as they expend their resources to meet the position of mutual benefit…
To gain all of the aforementioned action, massive benefits in U.S. interests, President Trump has done what?
“Not” labeling China as a currency manipulator is not affirmative action. It is actually the absence of action; POTUS Trump is not doing something. President Trump positioned himself at the furthest oppositional point during the election, and immediately thereafter.
He staked out this position with an intention to leverage action toward his needs.
The affirmative action President Trump is doing, very publicly, is complimenting the friendship he has begun with Xi Jinping; and praising President Xi for his character, warmth and leadership.
To build upon that mutually beneficial friendship – President Trump seeded the background by appointing Ambassador Terry Branstad, a 30-year personal friend of President Xi Jinping.
To enhance and amplify the friendship and personal respect – U.S. President Trump used Mar-a-Lago as the venue for their visit, not the White House. And President Trump’s beautiful granddaughter, Arabella, sweetly serenaded the Chinese First Family in Mandarin Chinese song showing the utmost respect for the honored guests.
Unfortunately most people are unfamiliar with the severity of Chinese tradition as it relates to family and respect. However, these gestures are intensely well received. Russia’s Vladimir Putin can deliver nothing even remotely comparable to the charm of the granddaughter of the U.S. President singing for President Xi and his wife in their native tongue.
Do not underestimate the value of these gestures and how it was perceived by the recipients as personal respect – far above the level of traditional political respect which would be customary during such encounters. President Trump made this visit personal, and his words after the meeting were all personal, not positional.
Whether or not people want to give President Trump credit for the approach, no-one should be able to challenge the outcomes all listed above.
Grandfather President Trump has highlighted Grandfather President Xi as a person, not a political figure. Trump sets the relationship as personal, and with mutual human benefit.
One thing is certain, North Korea will NOT make any hostile action toward the U.S. because President Trump has elevated President Xi to a role beyond politics in the words highlighted within Chinese media. The panda fur has not only been stroked perfectly, it has been elevated in its own magnanimity without even so much as a bow.
As a consequence it would now be a matter of personal disrespect for North Korea’s Kim Jung-un to take hostile action toward the U.S. President who has exhibited such personal respect to the regional Goliath.
Three things appear odd: #1) How no-one amid almost all media can see how effective this approach by President Trump has been; and #2) Nothing has been expended in order to achieve these remarkable results; and #3) Accepting all of the above, Donald Trump has planned this out for a long, long time.

Don I have a fundamental problem with a "religion" that codifies rape, slavery, beating women, etc. Liberals always tell me "the Bible has bad stuff in it too" and my response is "The Old Testament does, but what makes me a Christian is the New Testament. Tell me where Jesus advocated rape, slavery etc.?"

So, I'm about to put the fifth wheel up for sale and I'm contemplating what to do next.
I'm liking the idea of a UTV for some adventure riding with the family. But realized I don't know much about the crowded space of UTVs.
Don maybe a dedicated UTV forum?
So I'm looking for advice on new vs used and which ones would fit my criteria.
Not looking for a racer. I'm looking for utility. 4 seater with a bed that can be used around the range and hunting and adventure trail riding.
Reliability and ease of maintenance and parts is important too.
What say ye?

China doesn't want to lose us as their major buying group. The value they receive from NK is minuscule compared to USA.
Both China and Russia have moved significant troops to their borders with NK and I doubt those are there for defense.

Well, here's what's in store for you down the road
Me and my boys were in Lowes, looking for Mole killer. I was on the phone to a pilot buddy
I become aware of a scuffle behind me, then the youngest drops.
I turn around to discover the oldest has decked him! Opened up his nose! The little guy is bleeding all over the floor and merchandise, the scene is quickly starting to look like an axe murder took place there. He is shaking his head and spraying out of his nostrils to clear the blood out...
All this while I was talking on the phone! Little guy's eye is swollen and for a while I thought his nose was broken. Older one connected a good one there.
Yea, you're in for some challenges in the future!
