I've decided to try a new-to-me way of growing cucumbers. built the tripod out of scrap wood, draped and secured some anti-deer netting across it, and hung my basket of baby cuke plants at one end. the goal is to train them up through the netting and then guide them around on top. in theory the cucumbers will grow down through the netting and hang there for easy picking. no idea if the birds in this area are interested in cukes, but I feel its high enough to ward off the local ground-based wildlife. I've got lots more netting if needed. cost me nothing. if it works, I'll step it up a notch next spring. Inspired by the gardens in The Land pavilion at Disney World

never looked for more. only saw the bumper ad on ebay.

we talked about this not long ago. what was it... 1990 was the transition?

spotted the bumper on ebay and it included a VIN

um, so progress? plus an upgrade in doctor? Sounds like things are moving along.

sweet! start me a pile

I moved it and added a 1

moved it for ya.

some 1/2" round stock with the tip ground to a screwdriver and then a nut welded to the other end should suffice. many, many moons ago (98?) I made one for my first 88 and welded a T handle to it. now that I have an impact driver a nut seems like a better idea.

all mine have moved quite easily. everything appears to be where it should be. I see the PO added in an extension soft line. I would probably use a bungee to hold that up and keep it from snagging anything. If the brake light doesn't come on, then I imagine that means the shuttle didn't move. and speaking of snagging, it looks like your lower shock mount found a rock.

won't ship caps!? but that's about as easy as shipping gets! go to post office, grab flat rate box, fill box, ship box. done.

oooooo, that's a good lookin' rim.

turbines for the win wrapping them in anything special?

wow that looks fantastic! nice touch!

I'll add that to the to-do list

yes! Epic Tech here we come! also, you should keep every inch of that glorious chrome. also, also, you should start a build thread about the gladiator in "other cool stuff" .

day late, dollar short, but I once had a rear main blow and drain 5 quarts out before I noticed it making a funny sound. still ran. and after an oil change and a new rear main seal, it still runs the truck looks fantastic!

have you tried grounding the motor directly to the battery to see if it improves?

score!

battery powered grinders and sawzalls are just the best thing ever in a junkyard! "hey, look at that cool thing! bbzzzzzzzzzzzrrrzzzzzzrzrrzrrrzrrrzzzz... and now it's mine."

got a link to what you're looking at?

the width of the spoon on the end is what's hanging it up. no idea what year it used to be. unless someone knows where an MJ bed/frame might be tagged that would be a clue. the axle and leafs are not original. only the bed, frame, and tailgate (which isn't the one that's currently on the trailer but I still have it).

can you share a pic of what the rear prop valve and hoses look like?

went out and tried it and the jack handle works just fine in my 88 but won't fit through the hole in the sheetmetal of my trailer. yes, I can cut that out of my way, but not until I give up on finding the correct tool. still can't find my tire iron to check that diameter.
