Been busy as hell with work and other stuff.. so since I had some time and not on call I took care of some things that needed to be done and have put off.. Added some tie down points.. the square mounts for 2x4's were digging into the straps and wasn't the right angle for working effectively.. Tried to fix my bent jack by wrapping my winch line over the top of the rail and broke the damn line.. So I had to fix it with some 1/4" u bolts.. Tried to weld the battery tray rails to the tool box.. guess what. It's aluminum! So I drilled some holes and screwed it down instead.. I really need to show you how to braid a loop in the end of that cable. I am nervousness just looking at those little ubolts. Knock yourself out!!

So are mine, but I have 5/5 bolt pattern. I have several extra hubs, I was gonna offer you a complete one as a spare.

They came off of the axles when I put brakes on them. I have enough to replace all of yours, but you'd need new wheels. Wait, don't you have brakes on your trailer too?

Yeah.. the rear axle has brakes... I'll just wait till one goes out again and go from there.. Hopefully it'll take longer than a year this time! Hub replacements are only about $50 a piece.. They even sell the spindles that you weld on.. Thanks for the offer James!

Blew a transmission cooling hose. Dumped most of my transmission fluid out across Bartlett. Got that fixed and spent a good $20 at the car wash cleaning up TF top to bottom. Heck of a way to initiate a fluid change.

Installed a brake controller in my work truck. Mounted the bracket where I can see and adjust it easily. Routed the wires. Finished product. It was plug and play with the harness I bought since the truck has the tow package from the factory. Got the brakes adjusted in my trailer and I'm all set.

I did the same thing with Big Sexy when I get her... took me forever to figure out where the plug was under the dash! LOL

Mine got a water pump and I drilled and keyed the crank and harmonic balancer. It was a long Saturday but with a little help from N2Deep and some harassment from Yayger the job got done.
