Good Luck Larry. I worked that same schedule for 12 yrs, 5 yrs on nights 7-7, the 7 yrs on days. You never get "used" to the nights, you just learn to adapt to them. I so miss those days off during the week, I got soooo many projects doen around the house back then. Every other weekend sucked....and holidays too if they fell on your work day, but it was nice that I could plan my days couple yrs out.
Oh, now u will have time to get Tom my air hose :dizzy:

Got a part for the Tahoe last night, guess I will be lyin on cold ground tonight to change it :banghead:

cross your fingers it works :POPCORN:

Well that was some what :5SHOTS:

Never got around to trying to compress those CRD springs but am going to give a go this weekend getting them babies squished down :SOMBRERO:

The last paycheck of this month I SHOULD be able to atleast buy shocks, I wont have the money for springs like I wanted to do :roll:

Oh and do you want any 100 plus year old barn beams? Not sure when we are tearing it down or he may even have some one come haul it away but at any rate there is some sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet wood in there!

tommudd · **Posted:** Thu Jan 06, 2011 9:46 pm

I so wished I could get some old barn siding. My dads barn is starting to need some replacement boards on the outside.

Buggin....you doing CRD stockers up front? I have a pair in my garage was considering it, but not sure how much lift it will give or just a horrible ride. :dizzy:

......#$@**#$@%&#**!!!!!! TAHOE!!!!! Replaced pressure manifold on valve body that was supposed to fix it...still the same.. Sounds like a call for the Rollback!

I got some used CRD's in a while back and he/we/they someone :shock:

is going to try them. They are rated at more than the 927s but don't think they will be that bad,
Going to br interesting
How many boards do you need for the barn? I have some down home that in the road right now.
I'm looking for "old" locust fence posts and barn beams to make some thing out of

Yep going with CRD springs and a daystar lift with new shocks, bilsteins's. Should sit and ride just how I want it, I can always do srings later :roll:

The beams would be from 2 barns, the first barn he/we have saved and are working on it to turn it into a woodshop. The beams have awesome characture and range from 8"x8"s roughly to almost 2'x2' beams in diameter in lengths up to maybe 20'. :shock:

The old peg and post system is used on both of these barns, the siding on the big barn we saved can't be used, we already walled it in. The other barn does however have some good siding, steel roof (still good) and awesome beams :BANANA:

He just wants this stuff gone when he is ready, we don't have time (nor do I) to do anything with the material. It would be a shame and very sad not to see this wood used some other way other than some very hot firewood :roll:

TAHOE · **Posted:** Fri Jan 07, 2011 9:36 am

I was going to put in the CRD springs when I upgrade to new shocks this yr, but was leary on what kind of lift I will get from them. Was hoping for a firmer/better ride, but not a whole lot of lift. Would hate to install them and the front be 2" higher than the rear and not have a lift for the rear.
Old barn wood is sooo cool to build stuff from. I would love to change out my fireplace mantel to more of a rustic wood. Ours is rough cut redwood, but piece of barn timber would look so much better. My uncle did a complete basement using old barn siding, it had been white washed them weathered....it was so cool looking down there.
Tom, I just need a few ( maybe 10-15) 6Ft pieces or so to replace some old stuff that's getting rotten. Between weeds/dirt piled up on back of barn and no downspouts, wood is getting rotten....and I need to make a new door for the side. Here is a pic of the side with door, need to fix back side.

We used to have a bunch of ole locust post, but ended up re-using them for fence. It's hilarious when you cut a fresh tree down, then bury it for a post, next thing you now it's sprouting limbs. We used to get some 4x4's in from overseas on the steel containers, they are true 4" by 4"'s. I used them to build our rabbit barn. not good for burying though, not treated and they seem like a softer wood. Mine are set on top of the concrete and hold up pretty good. I have a few left, but they have been outside, not sure how good they still are. Too bad we don't get them anymore, I could've set you up.

tommudd · **Posted:** Fri Jan 07, 2011 10:09 am

I make things from old weathered locust posts
candle holders, trinket trays etc they come out pretty good and sell well
I'll check next time I am down home, I tore down one old out building a year ago and stacked the good lumber up to reuse someday
Last home I built for my wife (at the time) and I :banghead:

well I did a whole wall and fireplace with old beams/ boards etc. Got everything out of my great grandparents out barn, 120-130 year old beams etc Looks real nice

30 minute drive home turned into an hour and 20minute obsticle course last night. Not even an inch of snow at the time and most of the roads had been brined during the day. I did well to avoid bad drivers all the way home...or nearly so.

Within a couple of miles of my house I turn into a bad driver apparently. Turned off a main road onto a side street...nice and slow...the turn is going well...jeep is pointing up the side road...then it just starts sliding to my right. Plenty of time to pump brakes (no effect)...still time to try to give it some gas (no effect). Tense up for the impact with the curb (thank god no cars anywhere nearby)...thunk! Felt like both rims took the impact.

Dropped it off at my shop last night and am waiting to hear the prognosis. Also having them check some issues that came up during the recent lift.

I really hope I didn't break or bend anything too important. I could see that the front tires are toed out just enough for me to notice a difference by eye.

:banghead:

tommudd · **Posted:** Fri Jan 07, 2011 1:22 pm

Man that is not good at all! :shock:

Sorry to hear about that!

Hope its not much more than a realignment.
No matter how "good " of a driver you are, there are those times that you're just along for the ride due to ice etc. Had one of those times going down off of Wolf Creek Pass one October :shock:

I heard that it was getting bad down there. Security guys down at our main office sends out emails during bad weather to warn employees and they sent some things out yesterday afternoon about it.

TAHOE · **Posted:** Fri Jan 07, 2011 2:30 pm

We had similar stuff down here in Cinci, glad I got home before it dropped cold and froze...the firebird doesn't fair well on well, anything besides dry pavement. About 6pm, that little bit of snow melted and turned to ice, we had accidents everywhere. Hopefully no damage to your Libby.

Megalos · **Posted:** Fri Jan 07, 2011 3:51 pm

Just got the call from the mechanic. Just needed a realignment...no permanent damage. Whew! :-)r

And more good news...the dif seals and the pinion seal are probably covered under the powertrain warranty. :BANANA:

Sometimes what seems like bad luck turns into a good thing.

tommudd · **Posted:** Fri Jan 07, 2011 4:10 pm

Talking to Chris on the phone,
he generally said that the reason that there was no damage
was the PROfessinal INstallation you had done :wink:

Update for ya, Tom - we found a source for new 4.10's and master overhaul kit for the front axle for about 1/2 the cost of new through a LOST member. We're now working on finding the parts for the rear.

Just FYI.

Aaron says he's shooting to have everything by the end of this month.

does this member have 4.10's for the WJ grand
