Think about it Joe, to put 2 cord of wood on your truck it would have to be split and stacked front to back a level 4 ft high. With green hardwood your looking at around up to 10,000 lbs.
Just sayin...
Wow that's impressive! Is the truck stock?
Yeah I wouldn't do it now. The truck has no e brake, and the lines need to be replaced.
Just last week I had a load of demo in the truck. Nothing too heavy about 1700 lbs. hit a raised manhole cover and 5 min later the tread blew off the tire. Tore up the inner fender well, scared the hell out me. Truck spent the night 30 min from home till I could get a tire and my jack out there.

Pretty much. 160hp 350, sm465, 14bolt rear with 4.10 gears and a Detroit locker. Timbren overloads.
It handles 2 cords fine.

Picked up these Craftsman combination wrenches at a pawn shop on Friday. Neither set was complete, dug around in the bins and found everything but the 11/16ths. As an added bonus I got them to include the Blue Point 14mm, that is a $10-$15 item on e-bay.
Wife found this on the air force base she works at. Kinda like a craigslist for the base only. Wife knows my style and looks out for me. So a hi lift showed up before but we missed it. Got this one. She even picked it up for me.
Always wanted a hi lift. Between working on the trucks and 4 wheeling on the beach plus all the other uses. Gonna oreder the off road kit and do more research on it.

I may have had my best flea market score this year. I've seen plenty of drill press vises of this basic design (flips up 90 degrees). I've never seen one like this Palmgren model; also flips to the side 90 degrees and rotates on a base.

Looks like their milling attachment for small lathes.

Kind of a nice (although long) video on crimping solder-less wire connectors. I like the uninsulated ones, covered with heat shrink best: the crushed, vinyl insulators always look bush league to me.

Some of that video is ok but using green wire for a positive cable ?
Use the proper sized unsulated connector, crimp it with good crimpers then use adheasive lined heatshrink over it.
Get the 3 to 1 shrink rate and use black if it will be exposed to sunlight.
I use 2 pieces of heatshrink, a longer piece over the first for extra strain relief or in a wet location.
I rewire a few inshore saltwater boats a year as well as keeping mine and my fishing buddies boats ready to go when we get a few hours off work.
Good adheasive lined heatshrink is the best way to protect the connection from corrosion. Also after a connection is made like a ring connector under a screw or nut spray it with corrosion X or any good protector/lube. The spray helps prevent water and air/oxygen from getting at the connection.
Buyheatshrink.com is a good source for heatshrink at a good price. They have good stuff to cover that full wrap thinggy on your chainsaw too!

Picked up the three tool chests on the right yesterday. I had long outgrown the 2 boxes on the left I bought almost 30 years ago.

While transferring tools to my new boxes I found this old Craftsman ratchet.

Bought another pile of tools at a pawn shop, got this tub for $30. I will sort out the good stuff and put the remainder on CL and get the stuff I keep for free.
Keep the old Sawzall blade: wrap it with duct tape and it makes a great guide bar groove cleaner!

Got it all sorted out, not as much good stuff as last time. I did find a couple of complete Task Force 1/4" socket sets in SAE and metric I will keep and the usual Craftsman sockets (some pretty old). Put the rest on CL for $40 last night, a guy came by to get the whole lot today. He builds fences, no name was good for him as tools get lost or disappear. Last tub I sold for the $40 I paid for it, but I probably kept 75+ sockets.
By the way, I sent the tools away in a box and kept the tub.

my new old toy. 300 amp welder. Has a 4 cylinder engine that looks like it belongs in an airplane. It sounds really cool. It melts rod pretty good also.
