BedSlide is working awesome, still worth every penny after 2 rebuilds.
Think I found the parasitic draw on the battery. You could here the CD player running after the truck was shut off. Removed the CDs, now it seems good but time will tell. Maybe I should clean some grounds since most have not been touched in 17 years now.

Another trip in the books. Good to be back on it.
Just did lots of organizing, dropped off the compactor and the repaired ram for Dug. Ran out of daylight and energy on this trip.
Did manage to repair the Kubota's brush guard. Had a bend that has been bugging me and I want to put a flood light down there, 16in fits just right. Used a new vevor porta power. Had the right adapters to do the job.
Filled up the Dmax for way less than Kali prices. With the big tank and being the daily anymore I hardy ever need to top off down here.

Couldn't agree more. I see LBZ engines all the time on FB. Might have to pull the trigger, but figure I have a good 100k left in mine.

I thought you had built one, just watch to many vids to nail down!

You need to de-organize to organize.
Good fix for the green is a can of orange.
Thought about aerating the pond?

The torque is why so many like them for towing.
Great mileage, I have been seeing above 19 for some time now, but all road trips.

Cool upgrades, that is a funky place for a filter.
311
« on: October 27, 2023, 03:09:12 PM »
Yep, floors are next here. 1400sf is not bad but that doesn't include the upstairs rooms.
312
« on: October 27, 2023, 02:35:11 PM »
Heck, my lot is 9500sf. Yes gov wants to be into everything and know all about you/me.
Good luck on the tax issue, sure it will be fine. You already do hay and want to add a few cattle right?

Sweet, glad the move is over. I here Co is getting as bad as Kali?

Looks like it might be a home made unit, but solid.
Was the stone orange?
Did you figure out water? I know there was a well, is it viable? Drop a couple pipes to the bottom, fill with rocks.

Found one on FB for 750, just need to weld a mount on it, 100 bucks.

Dang, 3 years since I posted on the thread.
Repairing the tilt ram my neigbor popped last year after the "flood". Rear right tire still goes done, but holds a seal so not and issue at all yet. Starts like a champ too.
Ram is apart, cleaned up and just 2 seals to go. Damage was obvious. Couple of burrs on the piston, cleaned it and the rod with 1000 sand paper. (lathes are nice)
38mm nut was a chore, cap was easy (set screw) Should finish it up tomorrow.

Funny, I sold my box blade, just didn't work well (maybe it was me)
Looking a dozer blade for the skid, just needs a mount.
318
« on: October 25, 2023, 07:39:48 PM »
I like the flat bottom grapple. Really works well for dragging roads and leveling.

TRN, is that weight or caliber?
88, we had mid 90s, but finally showing signs of fall. Love it.
Yep, they have a few songs about kids becoming like dad, karma?

« on: October 23, 2023, 09:50:31 PM »
Sounds like a solid plan for a start. (oh, I linked this to part 7)
I have decided another dump trailer is in the near future. Talking to the nieghbor, hauling costs as much if not more to where we are. We have a quarry just down the road so a load here and there is just the ticket.
Wind never seems to be a friend. I like a little breeze.

Think I got the last major part for this, not that I'm in a hurry right now.
Got a Ron Bonny front engine mount/crossover. Solid weld in unit that allows the pan to be dropped without pulling the engine if need be. Popped up on FB in Reno, got for about 1/2 retail.

Thx guys, its functional, but I am slowing down some.
323
« on: October 23, 2023, 11:08:17 AM »
Its winterizing for now. Cant see digging holes for snow and water to fill.
Will get the septic in and address the run off issues. Actually looking at another container.
324
« on: October 22, 2023, 01:43:18 PM »
Lots more room now, needed to address the tarps on the building hardware. I may move the sheetmetal onto the container roof.
No pic of the retarp, got dark but a single 18x24 tarp covered it all fine when I move the roll up door rails up front.

Haven't been up in a month, hate getting sick I'm to young!
Rearranged the building moving it all up to the front edge away from the foundation work. Everything started right up, love good equipment.
Worked on the water runoff, cutting a swale along the west edge. North wall needs addressing to as you can see the runoff down the face. I have a ditch cut up there, but think this is just above it. Looks like some shovel work,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Trip up this weekend went well. Loaded up the rebuilt slider and it never even burped.
Fork extensions, tarps, rebar bender and about 60 stakes in there too. Need a few more stakes though, to many shorty's.
327
« on: October 22, 2023, 01:27:26 PM »
Loaded it up this weekend and headed to the ridge. Was sitting at 19.7mpg when I got home, 65-70 average.
Slide performed perfect, just a tad snug on the tailgate is all, but a few screws should remedy that.
Thinking about getting the edge trim powder coated? Tuff but on there really good!

That filter system sounds way better than stock.
Air system, "made with love in Ca"?

Just need to glue the carpet down now, but that will wait until after this weekend trip.
Rubber backed outdoor carpet, two grab handles (3/8 rebar) and nice piece of trim on the rear cap. Paint wasnt even dry and I scrapped it all up. Fits great so just a few crews will hold it solid.
331
« on: October 19, 2023, 11:27:13 PM »
Finally heading back up in the AM, been 4 weeks!
Got a good load of stuff from stakes to fork extensions.
Wondering is its still all there? Showing 50f high and 32f low, not bad.
I did get started on this, but ran out of steam and time.
332
« on: October 19, 2023, 07:28:46 PM »
Glad you are doing better. Treaments or just taking better care of you?
333
« on: October 19, 2023, 03:09:40 PM »
10mm is a great round but to powerful for the FBI (they had their own loads, really) Never a fan of wheel guns.
That dwarfed into the 40cal, now the 9mm is all the rage. Still a 9mm though, I would not think of it for something big, like bear or Kens GF.
I still like the 40. Way heavier than the 9mm, but still not a bear stopper without the right ammo.
334
« on: October 18, 2023, 07:52:13 PM »
Soon the spare will go under the back too. Have to push the rear bumper back a tad for it since I have a 6' box.
335
« on: October 18, 2023, 07:50:25 PM »
Just food for thought, I think the best case scenario is conditions will stay as they are. Not great, but could get far worse I agree.
Build your stuff, you sold the other sawmill? I see them on FB all the time now. No rush and I feel the "slowdown" too but most days are pretty good.
I didn't like my scraper, get a blade for the front of the skid, I'm looking that way now.
336
« on: October 16, 2023, 10:05:21 PM »
Got it mounted up, then realized I forgot the handles  Still thinking on how to attach the carpet on the edges. End will get a metal plate with grip tape to protect the wood.
337
« on: October 16, 2023, 09:58:42 PM »
Sounds like sound thoughts.
I think your house would sell easily, maybe not at a boomer price, but a fair profit for sure.
Curious, have you thought about trailers, like 10 or 12 wide? Setup over the weekend, ready to go, move if you need to even onto the 2 acre plots.
338
« on: October 16, 2023, 08:36:00 PM »
Frame was just over 48 wide, lets ply sheets lay in there just right. However the new deck was about 1/16+ wide and would not go in without major effort. Broke out the planer and made adjustments. Also beveled the edges to clear the angle iron corners. Went on fine then and I got all new SS hardware to fasten down.
Also had to trim the slot for the pin as the assm ended up about 1/4 longer with the new rim..
339
« on: October 16, 2023, 05:11:50 PM »
Wow, this is dragging out, but finally got it done today.
Replaced the broken cable with a bike chain. Welded to pin, uses a master on the lever.
All the metal around the edge is new, made it a bit hefty! Now the wood is supported by the angle iron. Got it all painted up.

Cardboard?

« on: October 15, 2023, 05:48:51 PM »
Was wondering about this, I see the logic in it.
Also with the world as it is, I see china moving on Tiawan realing pushing the world into chaos.

« on: October 15, 2023, 11:50:27 AM »
Nice
343
« on: October 14, 2023, 09:53:09 PM »
Just thinking outloud again. Didn't think I put down anything?
Henry makes some nice rifles, have a couple and US made.
344
« on: October 13, 2023, 09:42:39 PM »
I vote for the 10mm. With animals you may not get the time to raise a rifle in close quarters. Plus you have more shots.
Not personal experience, I read all the time how the 10mm stopped big animals.

A true up bill is the electricty you use above the power you make with the solar panel system.
I have had the system for about 8 years now. True up has been around $1200 for the last few years. You still pay for gas and a $10 "grid" fee every month. I have a 7000 watt system and just now adding a 2500 watt system.
Kali has raised there electric rates a lot the last year or so. Rates are the highest from 1600-2100. When you want to run the AC and my wife wants to do the wash.

« on: October 12, 2023, 04:50:05 PM »
Bet he has bigger stuff then that around.
347
« on: October 12, 2023, 12:26:02 PM »
Congrats.
Pool was looking a bit neglected, cleaned the filters,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

« on: October 12, 2023, 12:24:19 PM »
Would like to see it stay around.
349
« on: October 12, 2023, 12:50:58 AM »
Just got my PGE true-up bill. $3600 and I have solar already. Gotta love Kali.

This has crossed my mind several times lately. Hate to see it happen but I also don't see the use required to keep going.
Hate to loose the forum and stories, I am not a text guy unless I must, FB is for selling-buying things.
Heck, haven't even got my foundation poured yet!
