Did a little work on the overgrown front landscaping. Also re edged with stone and sank them into the soil where before the were on top of the soil. Worked for about 8 hours uncovering a water spigot that was hidden by a bush, dug up three bushes altogether. The others will wait until spring for the re landscape..

Before is a shot before we bought the home. After was yesterday.

No problem. Guess I'm not familiar w/strobes. Thinking their used only for search, rescue and utility vehicles, guess not.

But yea, that sucks after that stinky messy job changing the rear end oil and filters. The carrier or mid shift bearing will be a little better. I had to change one of those once in the field. What sucked was the truck was stuck in the mud and in such a position that it couldn't be moved without causing much more damage attempting to do so. That was a fun one. Had to dig my under.

I use the strobes for recovery and saftey as well as running traffic for the 36 mile relay we put on every June. Plus I may also get a bug up my butt and put a snow plow on the truck next year. Damn, that had to suck changing out the carrier bearing in the mud.

Here is a picture of my truck with the light bar on it and a couple crappy video's of the hide away strobes on my truck.

Ehhh, I am not to worried about it I am going to steal the big portable air compressor from work and my big impact from my tool box at my dads to do it. Or I may just take the truck to work and pick the back end up with the forklift so I can work on it easier and have a flat floor to the creeper rolls easier than on my beat up asphalt and concrete driveway.

That is a beatiful house Will, I like the way you trimmed up the shrubs to show more of the stone work on the house.

Nah, he didn't get to that yet. Just the rear end fluid, which didn't help.

Wonder if that carrier has zerks ? His original. It might. (?)
