I have 2' overhangs, it will be fine lol.
I plan on building guides/jigs so they are all set exactly the same(no nailing flanges), then I'll caulk the outside to the J-channel, and I'll use low expanding foam to seal them tight! Sure hope I don't get any leaks, maybe you can come show me how it's done.
was that just a pun?These dogs were relieved that you went home, instead of cutting their last tree down,

i noticed the Triumph! ~
then it would match the [ - - ] tilt....
Hard to beat a Wilton ,
Yeahā¦. Seems there is a movement to make trails accessible to everyone which puts people in places they arenāt prepared for (GPS is another problem). Iāve been on a lot of trails in the Catskills and on the AT that involved rock scrambles. I also see a LOT of reported rescues in the press and DEC newsletters. Iāve seen a LOT of people with inappropriate footwear (sandals, flip flops) on rock strewn trails (including mothers at Scout camp!). Putting ill equipped inexperienced people on trails is not smartā¦ but it is all inclusive.
One reason Iāve gotten a lot of pro Stihl equipmentā¦ bans on new ICE power equipment.
It was always the rear cylinder head drain back holes that plugged up. I did my share of cleaning those out.the good ones were always the cars etc whose owners never changed the oil and the head drain back ports crystalized shut! lol... yep, seen a couple of those...one Buick V6 comes to mind!
Not to mention all the folks who come up from NYC on the train intending to climb the face of Breakneck Ridge!Yeahā¦.

OK here's the rest of the story. My heat/vac buddy works for a company that put AC all through a huge apartment complex. Less than 2 yrs later the complex sold, and the new owners completely remodeled the place and needed all new BIGGER AC units, so they took them all back out and put in new bigger units.
My buddy's boss kept EVERYTHING they took out and was selling the units for $200 ea. to his employees, my buddy bought one for $200 and sold it to me for $300 installed, complete! I did all the electrical and he did everything else, and it's been working perfectly for a lot of years now, including today when it's hot-as-hell out! lol
And now you know the rest of the story!

I love my Wilton vises, mostly because It was dad's, and I can't remember a time it wasn't here on the farm,
They really are good vises.
I must have 20 vises around here, years ago I bought them whenever I saw them at sales.

Good idea flip. I was Really joking with Steve. When my truck was only a couple months old I put the tailgate down to gas up my 660. I then went over and helped a friend get a trailer load of small Ash wood. When he was done I jumped in my truck and forgot the tailgate was down, and started to swing a turn, BANG. The tailgate hit the jack-stand on my dump trailer. A fist size dent and they had to replace the whole thing. They donāt fix aluminum tail gates.
This build has 70k the truck itself has 180ksbc? i bet that underside of the intake still has oil grim on it if it has any miles... lol
Some of the hickory slab wood from my milling .i like the r bed sideboards!
Iāve had that before
My wifeās prayer flags didnāt even think of them but yes itās always a wing and a prayerthe flags seem appropriate!
Actually, they can be repaired as the aluminum sheet panels are glued together but it takes a special adhesive and skill to remove and replace them and most body shops lack the skill as well as the adhesive. Before I retired, I worked at a Freightliner dealership and our body and frame shop was eqiupped with and had the skilled body people to do it. They did it every day because late model trucks are a mix of fiberglass glue on panels and aluminum glue on panels.. They would take the damaged panel off with a heat gun, prep the joint with special cleaner and apply the 2 part epoxy, let it cure and stick on a new panel and then prep and paint the injured area. Freightliner and Western Star hoods are actually made in 3 individual pieces which makes collision repair easier and less costly. If you look at a Freightliner hood, you'll see a seam running from the cowl to the grill. That is where they come apart at. Western Stars come apart at the fender transition. The epoxy comes in a huge 2 barrel setup that requires a special gun to apply. Insurance companies pushed that because hoods are so expensive in one piece. Fords aluminum beds are totally glued together. It ain't Elmers Glue All either...lol
Because it takes skill and specialized tools, most body shops cannot do it.
What I found really interesting was frame straightening and riveted together sleeper repairs. They would strip the sleeper and drill out all the rivets with a special drill motor and rivet in a new panel but first they applied a waterproof compound to the seam. Lots of manual work involved but then crash repair on big trucks is always expensive. They would come in on a hook and leave like nothing ever happened. Same with the frames. We had hydraulic rams in the floor with retractable hooks and stantions in the reinforced concrete and they would measure the frames and pull them and make them straight again and then do alignments. I didn't work in the body /frame shop I was a diesel mechanic, worked primarily on big Cats and when it was slow I drove a truck for them. Worked there almost 30 years prior to retirement and it was a fun, well paying job and I made a lot of friends there that I see to this day.
When Cat got out of the on road diesel business, I retired.
The service manager (also retired) and I hunt together. My consuming and expensive hobby. I've hunted in just about every state as well as Canada and the house is loaded with mounts, much to my wife's dismay. She don't like the eyes looking at her all the time... lol Here are just a few Mulies I've shot in Nebraska, Montana and New Mexico... plus our place in northern Michigan
