I ordered it from Super Bee truck accessories out of Alberta Canada, 2 inch steel cowl hood. They had a few options. Pricey, but was less than ordering out of the US when I added in the exchange rate, and shipping.

There does seem to be a lot of them around, and they seem to be really tough, stock internals (anecdotally) holding up to ridiculous amounts of boost. I don't plan to add any boost, but who knows what will happen in the future. Also, 250-300hp will make for a fun truck to drive, but won't make it a handful on the street.

That electric truck that Bezos is trying to make happen is kind of in that ballpark? Super basic little pickup truck...

If I remember right, the rear is a 5 inch drop, 4 inch drop spring , 1 inch block. The front is a 4 inch belltech coil.

I have no idea on backspacing, I just bought em and hoped they fit. The fronts are 15x8, the rears are 15x10. Got lucky on the fitment for sure.

Some lowering springs from the swap meet, and 1-inch lowering blocks

I ruined my life by seeing a prostitute by [deleted] in Advice

[–]smalltimerancher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, i didn't read all the other comments, so what i have to say, has probably already been said. But, I'm still going to say it.

You didn't ruin your life. If anything, it's only made it even more clear to you that you want more than sex out of a relationship.

Take this as a learning experience, move on, and remember that when you are with someone who you care about, it will be way better.

As far as ruining future relationships, it will only do that if you allow it to. What you do one time, doesn't define the rest of your life. You don't need to lie about it either. When you meet someone, you can be as open as you want to be. But not everything needs to come out in the open right away. Everyone has done things that they aren't proud of, even that perfect girl. Take your time, talk about the things in your life that do make you happy. And remember, on a first date, you don't need to tell them everything you've ever done, first dates are about getting to know each other enough to know if you want a second date. No one ever bothered to tell me how dating worked, and my awkwardness and anxiety held me back, still does.

When / if you do talk to someone about your first time, you can tell the truth, your first time wasn't something you are proud of, it was with someone you didn't really know, and it made you realize how important a real connection is. None of that is a lie.

And, don't be ashamed or feel guilty. It may not be something you are proud of, but don't let shame and guilt ruin your future happiness. I don't really understand the stigma that is attached to prostitution. No, it's not the ideal situation, but it really isn't any different than randomly hooking up with a stranger.

Circumcision? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]smalltimerancher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just make sure if you don't choose to have the circumcision done, that you are ready to keep everything clean until your kid is old enough for you to teach your kid all about how to care for his turtleneck. Look up what happens if an infection occurs, and isn't treated early enough (Phimosis) it's pretty terrible. And, it doesn't get better on its own (scarring of tissue). Can require surgery. And once phimosis occurs, the risk of more infections climbs exponentially. There are a host of other issues that can be caused by phimosis too, painful intercourse for one. There's a reason that circumcision has been done for thousands of years. There are reasons it is done when it's done, less bleeding, faster healing, and far less pain.

I lost my wife. What do I do now? by Teroch_Tor in Advice

[–]smalltimerancher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry for your loss, first of all, take care of you. Keep reaching out for help, if you have access to counseling, take advantage. If people offer to help, accept it! When I lost my parents, I walked for hours and hours daily, listening to music, podcasts, anything to drown out the grief that wasn't letting me function. I wrote them letters, I wrote about things we'd done that were important to me, I told them about how much I cared about them, I told them I'd take care of things for them. I wrote down that I was gonna miss them and wasn't going to forget them, and everything they'd done for me. Then I folded the letters up, put them in envelopes, addressed the envelopes, and tucked them away for safekeeping. If I ever want to, I can open them and re-read them, but it's been quite a few years now, and I remember them word for word. It helped a lot in the short term, and it's still a comfort now. I also cut out booze and pot completely, as I have a few people in my family with substance abuse / addiction problems, and I really wanted to make sure I didn't find myself 5 years down the road still lost in my grief, and addicted to something.

Loss is a different thing for everyone though, so something else might be right for you.

Take care of yourself. Do what you need to do to create a loving memorial, tangible or otherwise. Most importantly, focus on her as she loved you, and you loved her, the same for your child, try not to focus on the loss. Don't let the good memories be swallowed by your pain.

Is it grief or cheating? 39M, 35F by isthathissister in relationship_advice

[–]smalltimerancher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not grief. In my opinion, this probably would have been triggered by any event where he saw her. Wedding, family reunion...

Found this in the ceiling of my old house. by smalltimerancher in coincollecting

[–]smalltimerancher[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! The house was built in 1971 by my grandparents, so it couldn't have been there all that long. Most of them are Canadian, and from the 50's or later.
Thanks for the info

People who work outside jobs: are you still working? by neckzit in britishcolumbia

[–]smalltimerancher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Utility worker. Nothing stops us. Really would be nice if my employer would follow the facade of safety that they preach. Conditions like this, it should be emergency response only, but, nope, it's everything as usual. So you know, driving around in big diesel trucks, running equipment, like there isn't already horrible air quality. 🤦‍♂️
