haha shag carpet! It's a barn at my Dad's house. The house was built in the '70s so when they re-carpeted it, we just threw some of it down there. It's actually kinda nice. Like working on your truck in the living room :woot:.
 
Okay. That would just be too over the top. Although I have thought about kicking my wife's Jeep out of my single car garage and putting a little window unit it... :whistle:

Man you fellas got it made out there in Nebraska. I'm lucky if I can find a tree to park mine under while I work on it. Which I need to do about every other day seems like. :doah:

I do have one of those chimineas that I light a fire in if it's cold outside. Last year I broke my transfer case in about January or February. I remember setting it up on the work bench I have out in the yard, wiping some snow and ice off the top of the bench, lighting a fire in my little chiminea and going to work. Good times!
 
I remember laying under my truck having to clear the snow away so I could get under it and laying on card board. GA pry beats us in temp+ humidity (I worked coop in a paper mill there) but you aren't even close on the winter side of things.
 
Yeah it was mainly just enough ice and snow to make the t-case slide off the metal benchtop. It does get cold here; it just doesn't snow that much when it does (in the part where I live anyway). It was still better than having to work on anything during the summer though. That's for sure. If I know I'm going to have to do any pre-sceduled automotive work :rolleyes:, I try to wait until it's about as cool as possible out there.

Which paper mill did you work in?
 
I don't remember, it was a shutdown. I was UTing the welds in the mud drum. Using submerged.
 
This hub is from a dually by the way. Guy I bought it from took it off the HD70.

Yeah I think the HD70 is narrower which works out for the offset of the H1 double bead lock wheels. He obviously didn't want to use the 70 hub. I just put 2 and 2 together after taking the hubs apart.

Instead of 2 nuts and the lock ring on the SRW axle, the DRW axle has on big ass nut with a key way and a clip.
 
The 70hd with the 14 hubs is wider than the 70hd is alone.
 
Chris? Yes is the answer. He needs to use the hubs on his truck.
 
Still need calipers and the rear will be done so I can start on the part I broke. Its going to be like this for a while cause I ran out of play money for this thing.
