Thats good stuff right there! hahahaha Ive been to Fastenal like 3 times in the last few months and not once did they have what I was looking for... If a company that specializes in nuts/bolts doesnt carry anything more then what I can get at the Home Depot, how do they stay in business?
Back in business, stud welded in and reinstalled hi-lift. Cut a bit of the pipe threads off the mounting plate, pulled the lift tighter up against the tire.
35F today, may go out and wire up the front lights and work on mounting/wiring switches inside drivers compartment for winch.
Plus, I may change the oil one more time, since drowning. Changed it afterwards, have driven about 100 miles since. Just feels like one more change ain't going to hurt anything. Maybe l'll run some seafoam or rislone through it first.
MAN...I HATE USING MY WIFE'S TABLET...THE SPELL CHECK IS THE WORSE EVER. TEN WORDS WERE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO WHAT I SPELLED.

Crazy....
Reminds me of the first time I went to Tim Horton's. Picked my cousin up to go north bird hunting, usually I stop at a gas station for a road coffee, he says..."Hey, there's a Tim Horton's...go there...they have good coffee". I'd never stopped at one before. We get around to the drive through, I ask the girl for a large coffee with Irish cream half and half. She says, "We don't have Irish cream half and half." I'm like...WTF...I can get that at the gas station across the street...but not at a place that specializes in coffee and breakfast stuff?
Started messing with a couple of the containers l'd acquired out of a dumpster. I'm able to utilize 4 or five containers under my sleeping platform.
Wanted to use one for the Coleman stove, but it wouldn't fit...that is...until I cut the inner portion out and removed some foam insulation.
Left some insulation on the bottom and front portion, notching it some to allow for the *****.
Stove in place.
Took the leftover plastic inner piece and cut it down, height wise, so it became a tray that will sit on top of the stove.
Tray in place with propane tank. I'm going to cut a piece of foam to lay between the stove and the tray, and have a piece that is molded/formed to hold a couple tanks and stove fittings (and maybe a torch tip) for the tray.
I'll remove the inner portion from one or two more, for dry foods and cookware.
Worked on making a switch panel for front winch, "someday" rear winch and driving lights. First two switches are for in-out operation (front winch), second two will be for same (rear winch) and empty spot is for driving lights (need switch). Winch switches will have separate switched power source, that way they won't be activated by accident or by grandson(s).
Wires ran.
Lucked out, nice rubber plug just beneath the washer reservoir (or where SAI motor use to be mounted). Removed plug, cut hole in it and fed wires through.
Driving lights wired and relay mounted.
Needed a couple wire terminals for the winch controller, but it is just a white wire to white wire, black wire to black wire installation and that is done.
