Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

Oh! Did I misunderstand??

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Been splitting firewood last two days haven’t looked as to how I’ll remove the burl. I’m taking it in one chunk though and probably use the bandsaw on it . Much less waste. Now do I cut vertically or horizontally that is the question.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Wow that was all definitely a ton of work. Great job it turned out beautiful. I only replaced the dash top on this. The cowl was actually good. I did replace 2 sections of the cowl end on the passenger side, along with almost every piece of metal on the body.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
i picked up a pair of rear tires today for my Mustang,that i ordered last August?i went through this same thing a year ago when i got new front tires that were installed a last spring but i'd ordered the fall before?the world got Covid and everything fell apart?i was in such bad shape for rear tires last fall,i stopped driving my car and put it to bed for the winter,cancelled the insurance way early.to make matters worse,they got one tire in Sept or so,the second arrived now?i looked at the dates on the tires,one was built 17th week of 2023,second tire was built 47th of 2023,in Mexico?we have 2 or 3 Michelin plants here in Nova Scotia but evidently,we have to wait for tires from Michelin Mexico?i know different plants only make certain tires,just frustrating.what's more frustrating is the car has about 30,000 miles on it and this is the 3rd set of tires?love the car but it eats tires.it's going back to Ford when i dig it out of storage.something is wrong??

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
^That "Z" rating on the tire is the problem. It's a soft compound for good traction, which goes away in a hurry, as you have discovered.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I hear ya I know these cars use hi-perf tires and they don't last but Pirelli changed the first set of P-Zero tires under warranty all cracked to pieces,second set didn't last,front set wore the inside off right to the steel cord,so I replaced them with Yokohama Sport Advan's and an alignment, they are wearing out again on the inside and the rears are shot.i checked with the service manager at the Ford dealer,he said they got a service bulletin about these cars and excessive wear.we'll see what happens?

Pallet forks for the Kubota came today . Should make moving logs much easier.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Mark, when you mount them, take another picture. I need to get a set to take my topper on and off my truck. I may need to extend the length too.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
i hear ya brother,it's awful,nothing i've never gone through before.we had a 2013 Mustang GT ragtop before this one,5 liter and a stick.i bought it used in 2015 with about 15,000 miles on it but the factory Goodyear F-1 Supercar tires it came with were worn out.i put Yokohama Sport Advan's on it and loved them.2 years later we traded for this one,new and i don't recall the Yokohama's being worn out on the 2013 car when traded,this new one needs tires everytime you turn around?$800.00 a pair is getting old.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
You will definitely need to extend the forks for that purpose. These will do for my purposes but I need to make a few modifications. The cross bar bolts are in the way so I’ll weld som new nuts on the sides or just buy some set screws
