My old flares were crumbling and I didn’t want to pay the high price of new ones so I made my own from a Home Depot floor mat. It was $25 so if it doesn’t hold up no big loss. I may opt for some thicker material if I can find it. Overall I was pleased with the result for my hunting rig.

Yeah, that’s a silencer I made from an 8” piece of iron pipe. I threaded the inside of ten exhaust opening and it just screws in. Here are a couple more pics of the flares.

I definitely grease the bearings of the ends of the axle tubes. I take it a step further with the left side and drill a hole in the tube, add a zerk, and pump about 50 shots of grease in there. The bearings in the diff are lubed by the gear oil in the diff. That zerk and pumping a bunch of grease in the axle tube helps keep water out of the diff

Got the shield on today. I only mention it because I wanted to give a shoutout to the guy that sold it to me. He definitely put the bolts in his old weed bag and shipped it to me. I pictured him smoking it while he unbolted it from the muffler, looking around, and saying screw it and throwing the bolts in the bag haha. It reeked of weed when I opened it.

I'm a results-centered guy.... doesn't move the needle for me....

How long before she gave up? 😆 Reminds me when my dad tried to get my teenage cousins to pull an armadillo out of a hole by his tail! They finally gave up after 30 minutes of trying and daddy laughing.
