Loved the show, but it was less action and more BS. I did like the trebuchet that threw it’s whole arm.

Couple years back I made a PVC pipe trebuchet but I can’t help but think the trebuchet has been overdone. What this blog needs is a violent demonstration of meaningless destruction, I thought about making a giant drop hammer, and crushing things, like something that would crush beercans less than 1mm thick, or a giant mechanical beaver, but I’m almost in hibernate mode, so it’s difficult to get motivated to think. Any ideas, folks?

but I guess I last did them in February. Ah, well, at least it’s free.

22 minutes start to finish, and that included swapping the rotors. I’ve spent way too much time with this truck, I know each nut and bolt like it was a part of me.

I have not, yet, replaced an inner tie rod end, until tonight. That took me another twenty minutes, mostly because I didn’t want to knock out the old outer. I unscrewed the old inner from the rack and from the outer, and screwed them back in place right on the truck. I’ll have to have an alignment soon, but the little wobble i thought was the lower A arm bushings is gone. I feel a lot better about driving this sucker in the upcoming winter, and 400,000 miles is in sight.
