What kind of dorm was she in!! That looks like a fancy house 
Best of luck Don on the sale!

Lol Dave. That’s the rental I’m staying in. Nice little neighborhood. Will rent it again for sure. It’s close to campus and close to where her apartment will be next year. And it’s a few blocks from one of the best restaurants and cigar bars. If my youngest goes to Mizzou I’ll probably buy a house here for them to stay in and see if I can charge some rent from a roommate as well. Oh and the finger is just sprained. She wanted to run to the urgent care center when it happened. I told her if it was still pointed in the same direction and she could move it that it wasn’t broken. She insisted on going to Walgreens for the brace instead of using the tongue depressors and Med tape that I had in her Med kit in her foot lockers. She completely forgot about the go bag and Med kit.

  Packed up the oldest and moved her out of the dorm. Got her car on the trailer and ready to roll. Grabbed some pizza at the local joint. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well that’s a 20 ft trailer….more redneck.
I’m bringing her car home on the trailer. She’s not been good about phoning home so I don’t get a lot of time talking with her. This way I get 13 hours of windshield time with her.
Shawn, I looked at storage but it would be cheaper to throw all her stuff out and start over rather than put her stuff in storage for 3 months I think.
Dave, you’re right, I probably should take the Bus one time when the wife’s not going with me. I could get there on one fuel.
However I’m getting soft and the super cruise self driving on the Denali is pretty hard to beat.

Spray foam is the only way to fly. Here in the south though you really have to have humidity control since its so air tight.

Nice work Tex.
Do you have the cognito steering brace kit on there?
I added it to mine and it has saved my front end and tires significantly since install.
I used to NEED an allignmnet minimum twice a year and am now three years from last allignment.
I generally don’t sell parts but this kit has saved me tires.
And the steering reacts instantly now.
When I did the suspension rebuild I went with the Kryptonite Stage Three full kit with brace. Very beefy and solid. That and a new red top steering box and it steers well. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

And I got rid of the flea bay HIDs and went with GTR Ultra 2.0 LED low beams. Honestly they are too bright. People hate me at night. But on back country roads they are awesome      Keep in mind the before and after are 35hid to these LEDs so these things are BRIGHT These also allow for clocking to make sure you get more focused light output.

Resurrecting to update a few things.  AC bit the dust. Dessicant bag in the receiver exploded and took out the compressor. Rather than take chances, I replaced everything except the evaporator core since that’s a dash disassembly. OEM compressor, dryer, condenser and hoses. It took 3 quarts of flush to get the evaporator squeaky clean. I also did a complete cooling stack cleaning and pulled the radiator to straighten all the fins by hand. Added a new coolant reservoir and a new S&B intake system while I was in it. Most recently our good friend from Randy’s Ring and Pinion, El Tate, hooked me up with a sweet set up for upper control arms from Icon Dynamics. When I rebuilt the suspension I went first class on everything….except the UCAs, which were OEM Delco and lasted about 60k miles and the ball joints were so loose that hitting rutted pavement on asphalt would make it almost change lanes. Not wanting to take any chances, I pulled it down and put new Moog lower ball joints, greased brake caliper slides and then replaced the upppers. The uppers were well made and included urethane bushings, which now match the energy suspension urethane bushings on the lower control arms. With two new Ridge Grapplers on the front and a new alignment its an amazing difference. While you do feel a little more road feedback from the urethane uppers, I can say that the initial tip in to the corners is more accurate at speed. Those soft bushings would lag the steering input and then correct mid corner requiring slight steering adjustment. These new arms point the truck where your steering input tells it and requires no mid turn adjustment. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk       My tank of nitrogen came in handy for flushing

We live in a world where people don’t take responsibility for their actions. Sometimes, it takes the unpleasant to bring about results.

Just got a letter from social security to inform me medicare part B will cost me another $65 over the $165 standard as I have a "good retirement" income.
Goes in line with all the current policies that you make more, you pay more. I also just get 1/2 of the normal SS if I was poor, now that will be 1/2 of what it was,,,,,,,,,,,,

So a guy that works for me has/had a model X Plaid Tesla ($140K) he bought new.
Was in an accident with a drunk driver last night. Neither the seat belt tensioners nor the air bag went off.
Fractured sternum against the wheel and a concussion.
Not a good deal at all.

Nice job. Good looking truck.
Safety was one reason I bought the dually when I had the fifth wheel. I even bagged it to keep the undulations down in the highway when I had about 3000# pin weight and a bed full of firewood.
I found that taking air out of the rear tires made for a lot better ride. I routinely ran 32psi in all four rears when empty.
Somewhere here, Steve still has my dually and has played with the turbo a bit. I’d love to hear how that sounds now. I miss that truck.

 Left at 0:430 yesterday to get these. Love driving when the sun is coming up  Picked these two up. They’ll be installed just like they sit. Creek is 8-9 ft across and about 6-7 ft deep. It’s dry most times but when we get a really heavy rain the land to the west drains through there in addition to my land so it can get raging. These should handle most of it but if we get a bad tropical storm it may wash out a bit. They were not cheap but much cheaper than building a real rated bridge across.

Ordered two 36 inch double wall polyethylene culverts 20 ft long. Going to pick them up tomorrow. Also ordered 8 yards of 066 limestone delivered.
Going to finally start building a real crossing over the wet weather creek so I can get tractor and equipment to the back of the property.

I think the good people of California need a wholesale insurrection to clear out that governmental and agency cesspool...
But that's just me...
I want to be real clear here. I am NOT advocating this, but I see the country heading to a civil war in the not too distant future. Those that use the law as a weapon, stoke hatred and division among racial and economic lines, create a two tier justice system and their limp wristed sheep that bleat while waiting in the government to feed them save them and tell them what to think, versus the good people in flyover states who are nearing the breaking point.

So now for the numbers.
I was shooting for 50-pound weight savings.
The bumper and lights I removed weighed in at 136 and change.
The new Arcus bumper and lights (when I install them) weigh a total of 69.9 lbs.
I am very satisfied to have just shed over 66 pounds from the front end of the Jeep.
Additionally, I really opened up those front tires to the terrain. No bumper to get in the way any longer. This is about what a Jeep needs for what I intend to do with it.
Im going to internet jail for this one…. So 70lbs….just about the weight of a supercharger kit…… Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Besides the $$$ in, replacement is crazy. Didn't you just get a new Sub?
Yes, but the Yukon XL Denali. We don’t want to talk about what those are going for nowadays. Here’s a random thought. Don’t has a penchant for taking brand new vehicles and modifying them in a very thoughtful and appealing way. If he had a contract with a local dealer to modify factory new vehicles and put them back on the dealer lot for sale there might be some money in that. Kids willing to finance all their mods in with the new truck are in plentiful supply. I could see it now. Instead of an AEV it would the RMTW Edition….it could work. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What air pressure you running JR? My dually rode like crap. I started running 40 in front and 30 in all 4 in the rear and it helped. Downside was when I towed id have to air up but since I had on board air it wasn’t such a big deal.
Worse comes to worse they make an air ride strut kit for your Tahoe …..

Not casting aspersions at all Don. Just a curious question. I totally get the pay for what you want and like. I’ve got so much money in the Bus that I can’t bear to think about selling it.
It’s a strange emotional attachment that I can’t explain logically.

I believe the Lord only created one human race and placed it on earth as another example of His omnipotence. How else can man explain our sole existence in such a vast universe?
The military industrial complex needs a boogey man to keep the money flowing. They have to create an unknown existential threat because most people don’t see China as a threat and China is really the only other superpower on the planet….so lets create an alien threat….
