    boy, am I in trouble

    Well.....we got a new house...I had a big garage built out back for all the toys. She keeps the mower in the regular car garage. She used it this morning and pushed it in the big garage behind my m35. She actually accused me of doing it on purpose' Jimbo

    Tire explosion suggestions.

    _____________________________________________________________ I got the new tire on the wheel and was installing it on the truck when I noticed the metal mudflap and both the brackets next to the tire that blew were bent at a 45 degree angle.

    Tire explosion suggestions.

    The tube couldnt have done this damage. The tire is shredded from the inside rim to the outside. Its only 60' here today and its not sitting in the sun. The only thing I can guess is there was a flaw and it picked today to let go. I'm glad no one was behind the truck....it may have caused...

    Seat cover material

    There was enough material to do the drivers seat top and bottom. I paid five bucks for the shelter half. It was brand new in the package. They arent very expensive because there is no market for them from what my buddy tells me. Jimbo

    Windshield seals

    For the money...it was quite an improvement. I found where about ten squeaks were in the cab. I hate squeaks and rattles. Now I can hear that wonderful loud exhaust unobstructed...hahahaha Jimbo

    Windshield seals

    Like most of you, my duece had cracked and broken windshield seals. It was getting too bad to drive in the rain so I ordered a set from Teds Trucks. I was dreading doing this but as it turned out the job wasnt too bad at all. I had a bad drivers glass I had to replace anyway so it was a twofold...
