Lexus Needs A Quick Weld

We got a call for a Lexus out on Hells Revenge Trail that had a rear control arm break. So Shawn and I jumped in Ol Blue and headed out there. We got to them and they already had the arm out and ready to be welded. We had brought some steel with us so we cut a length of angle iron. Once we welded half of it on we hammered it around the tube and full welded it. After we got it welded up they said they were good to reinstall it. So we headed over and ran through Mickeys Hot Tub quick. Then back to the shop. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

Old Blue has come a long way from where she started. I'm a Ford guy but major respect for your Chevy's they get the job done. The comment about making a shopping cart into a truck was priceless. Enough money can fix just about anything. Last time I checked though money still doesn't grow on trees. You've earned yours just to dump it back into the trucks. Thanks for sharing.

The Premier Power Welder came through yet again! Absolutely Fantastic piece of gear. It just works.

The shot where you crest the hill and you can see way off in the distance, all the rolling land. Great shot! I would have thought the wrecker too wide to do the Hut Tub but it did! Duals for the win!

Listening to the squeal from the blower or its belt is not a pleasant thing when you have an ear infection!!! But it was worth it. Great shots of Ol Blue's shadow, Sean!!! I thought I was listening to my uncle, who said the same thing to me after he retired from farming. He had an old blue as well but it was a 68/69/70 F300 as he called it. It started life as a plain Jane 69 F250 2wd with a 390v8, 3 on the tree and a good heater. He bought it from the Ford dealership that he worked at just before he retired from that and bought a farm and went farming full time. His boss was also retiring. In the next 14 years, he replaced the cab with a 70 cab after his huge bull jumped up on top and did a Mexican hat dance on it, crushing in the roof, then he put a 1 ton Dana 90 and suspension that he salvaged from a roll over from his neighbor rebuilt the bottom end of the 390 with used parts from another 390 he salvaged from somewhere and the box from a 68 F250. After he sold the farm, he bought a 429 from his son-in-law's 1970 Mercury Grand Marquis. Totally rebuilt it with new cam, pistons lifters, etc. Had the transmission rebuilt, installed a brand new differential and axles, installed power disc brakes on the front so his power steering worked properly. Then had his friend who did the autobody at the Ford dealership fix the body up and paint it. I smiled at him when I saw it and he said that there comes a time in a man's life when investing in something to last becomes better than fixing something to work. He drove that truck until 1990 when he sold it after they took his license away because of his heart. I wish I had the opportunity to buy it from him. I saw the truck last summer when I was in Dauphin. The guy said that he bought it off my uncle and drove it daily until 2016, and now he uses it in summer to hauling his camper with it. The only thing he's done with it, other than the usual maintenance, was he updated the ac and put a radio in it.

Awesome no annoying music. Instead
the sweet sound of that blower.

[tedrufledtjr.]

It is GOOD to see Ole' Blue back!!!! Can't wait to see Trailmater again too (when it warms up)!

[BubbasDad]

What is really amazing: Trailmater drives these trails, to repair other rigs, like it was a Sunday drive. While everyone else is taking an extreme adventure.

I enjoyed the extra-curricular driving around that job you did, as well as your thought process history on building your fleet. And the views I will probably never see in person. Thanks.
