    Dude the difference when crawling on my knees with the padded carpet vs on the bed floor, is night and day.

    Thanks. I may pull it just for the space.

    Gotcha. T-Stat is about 1 year old, and I've already drained the radiator from doing all my coolant bypasses and plan on putting fresh coolant back in.

    You can also just cut a piece of cardboard to fit, and tape it to the top of the radiator to protect fins.

    A check for worn rear bearing is to raise the wheel and try to wiggle it left and right and top to bottom.

    I might end up sliding a sheet of thin lumber under it, just in case.

    Today.....again, no pics.

    Went alone to the jobsite, trimmed an overgrown walnut tree and cut down a row of some sort of evergreen bushes. Did three single-axle trailer loads of that to the landfill. Alone, as wife was busy.

    She came by later and we put in some 4 hours, the two of us. 8 hours total for me.

    Client decided he didn't want to pay for 10 more landfill runs, told us to put the rest down with his fallen tree. He said the tree cutters would wood chip it. I sure hope so---otherwise he'll have one big mess down there! Oh well, he's paying for it, he has the right to say where he wants it. :rofl:

    Myself, I like to get rid of brush, not pile it up, but I'm just a guy with a 19 year old Tundra that he loves. :)

    And in and out. My left only moved in and out and sadly my right seems to be doing the same.

    Could also put some reflectix or thin foam that’s the same height as the ridges before the 1/8 or 1/4 lumber and that will add extra insulation.
