Would this be the place for automotive related things as well? I'm tearing apart my front end on my pickup soon. I just gotta finish parts grabbing and money saving
UCA,LCA, Tie rods, shock assembly, calipers, pads, rotors and if I can top it off I REALLY wanna fit an eaton e locker in the front diff (that one may not happen due to cost) stretching funds thin as a razor right now.
I figured its related since my truck is my gateway to everything outdoors. I could do pics and small tutorials for the unfamiliar stuff. If yall ain't interested no biggie. This homeboy don't pay for shit to be done. Not on my truck. Pride

There's no off-topic here.
That's why i start these cause I need one safe place to ramble without completely bulldozing other peoples gardens
I like to shoot the shit anyways, any real advice I need in regards to diet or training I just go to the guy who got that particular skill set.That wind was wicked Bo, lot of shit down Ive got my work cut out for me here. One of my ladder stands fell, debri all over the trails. That's a pretty good hump, you got Danners? Those TFX are the best tool in my kit. Next time you roll out you should make a pictorial for a primitive fish hook or something constructive, basket trap, pull your weight around here.
pine pitch glue
- Melt the resin. If it ignites, blow out the flame and move the container so the heat is lessened. Try to not overheat the resin as the compounds are destroyed the longer they are subjected to heat.
- Add 1 part hardwood charcoal powder. This helps temper the resin and reduces its stickiness.
- Add 1 part filler material. This can be
- Collect the resin from a pine tree.
- ground plant material (crushed to a fine powder) or rabbit or deer scat/droppings (dried and ground up). In a pinch, you may also substitute sawdust, bone dust, or animal hair. The filler material helps strengthen the glue compound.
- If you wish to make the resultant glue more flexible, so it can be easily worked, add one part fat, tallow, or beeswax to the mixture.
- Mix thoroughly.
- Apply using a stick.
Dried pine pitch glue can be reheated to convert it back to its liquid state. Dip a stick into the mixture and remove, allowing the glob of glue to harden on the stick. Re-dip the stick to add additional layers of glue (as it cools, you may wish to roll it between your hands to compress and shape it). The finished lolly of pine pitch glue can then be carried with you and reheated when needed.

you're my go to reference...you and OGH got me covered. I don't know much about these new trucks except how to tear em up. What did you end up doing for rubber?Would this be the place for automotive related things as well? I'm tearing apart my front end on my pickup soon.

Glad to hear I'm not stepping on anyone's toes. Like to ask before I go into another mans refrigerator.
I have Belleville One Xero 320's Ultra Light Assault Boots.
They breathe, and once your foot gets accustomed to them, you don't want to wear anything else. I got 2 pairs of em one for work and the others when I'm off.
Speaking of pine, I got so torn up half way through the pinelands down here and trying to hold a fuckin azimuth while pace counting that not even half way through it I got a fair share of getting scratched up. Used the pine resin method on the scratches, worked like a charm. By the time I finished it all crusted up and dried up nicely. Little survival techniques.
Have been itching hitting the Mountains for a little bit, just pack a ruck and hit the wilderness for a few days. Sometimes you just need to go into the woods and escape for a minute. I swear the mountains are callin me bad, so fuckin bad that I want to move up there for good. We'll see what the future has to offer, but trying to find the time to hit the woods sometimes soon. It's been 2 long.
The glue method works wonders that your describing.
Shit the only thing I'm afraid of is I will not want to leave the wilderness.
That's my comfort zone, I get into a city and it's like a jungle out here.

Fuck man...like I said funds are spread thin. I wanna tackle all the front end work plus the e locker. That way my rig finally has a fully locked 4x4 capability front and rear. Run the switches to the cab n all. Rubber will be skimped for now. I'm a gonna look c at some BFG's (used) in 315/70R17 for those of you that don't speak fluent tire that's 35x12.5. After 70k miles my BFG's are used up. I'll hopefully have a new pair later (few months)
Currently running a 325/60/18 on mine.
I've found prices of 900 for 325/70/17 free shipping 10 ply if you're interest truk. I'm about to buy me some more if I don't sell.
Ahh those are the old Cooper MT's I see there. Who's your vendor? Cheapest I found is

Those are recaps. $170 a tire is damn good. I can't afford brand new right now. I got some $500 to spend at the tail end of my front end work. That's it man. Nice dodge btw

You are always welcome in my neck of the woods if you wanna fall off the grid for a night, it's hard for me to get away for extended trips outside of work.
pine pitch/birch resin is invaluable.
flintknapping and tool making, first aid, water proofing and sealing, it's ability to burn slow and in wet environments make it premier fire starter and torch medium. Strengthens cordage, use it on fishing tackle

dont go wide man...tall and narrow
Good lookin rig TNE , reminds me of my old 99 Ram 4x4 360 , pulled a heavy load from Oklahoma to Oregon without a problem (Kodiak 4x4 in bed)(Ducati ss-900 m/c in trailer). Great trucks ...

i the cheap route bc I needed rubber asap for the winter. 2in front level with the aluminum spacers from rough country...truck has high miles so it sits perfect with 2 up front. 295/70/18 trail grapplers on a stock 7.5 wheel, nice tire. They dont clean as well as some of the other true M/T designs, but they are surprisingly quiet on the highway and will jump up a wall in the snow. Couldnt be happier for mtn conditions, I don't spend nearly as much time in that slick georgia clay anymore so it's a good balance. I wanted that new Dick Cepek but they where on backorder at the time...would buy again.
I been back n forth to NY which is 1600 miles 8x now. Each time with shit in tow n shit in the bed. As light as 3500 as heavy as 6800 (all cat scaled) that and the trail use regularly keeps me a returning Ford supporter again and again. The competition can make all the bloated fan boy commercials all they want but the best 1/2 ton is a ford. If your gonna use it. Plus it's 'merican. And the standard for the industry 39 yrs straight.
I gotta follow up...you having any wear issues with those nitto's. Just curious...also how bout your spacer? Making the tires run odd?
That's why I prefer the 315/70 series. It's not a true 35x12.5 and too be honest I never liked the super wide tires. I don't believe it benefits anything offroad and when it rains or snows your skating. I had wide mudders on my last lifted Ford and this leveled truck can do every trick and then some the big one could do. When I first started out i liked the high ride and the aggressive tires but the older and more experienced I get I prefer my truck closer to the ground for balance. After all. A lift kit doesn't actually make your truck further from the ground. Only tires do that. And these gen fords can run 35's on a level
So do you guys order your tires or buy them at your local tire dealer? Costs me around 16-1800$ to put new rubber on my Dodge and they are nothin special, just AT. And at 31" they look tiny on my truck but 33" or 35" run about 2000$ and im a cheap fucker. So im wondering if ordering and shipping them in might be a better price for a better tire.
Order them online. No middle man. Your local tire shop can't fuck with these prices. I'll give you my "sources" since your such a fly mother fucker

I've used em all and will vouch for each one. Rubber is a commodity and one place will not always have the cheapest prices. So find what you want specifically and compare prices boss. 33's would be perfect on your truck. If you don't haul heavy much go 35's. Big dodge needs bigger cleats.
Those prices are fucking ridiculous unless your buying 20's then it's your fault
No 20's here trukk, i run 17's but thinking about upsizing to 18's so ima order wheels and tires if i like the price.
Thanks alot for your sharing your tire sources, i let you know how it goes[emoji41]
