I guarantee you feel better losing 60 pounds and stop drinking and smoking. Yes, cold turkey is the only way.. I quit smoking 16 years ago and quit drinking over two years ago. I lost 108 pounds in 13 months 4 years ago and gained it all back .i need to lose it all again. Congratulations, my friend. These are big goals 💪

[@OTRBandit]

Thanks brah, for part 1 to N.Y., you were right, alot of yappin , the blue lights are easier on the eyes, kinda like dimmed lights in the room with Richards mom, lol. Awesome on dropping the 60 pounds my friend. Stay safe, keep B.Blue between the mayo & mustard, Bppprrrttpppp.

Then one day I ran past a nice smelling restaurant with all of these happy fat people in it. I immediately lost the motivation to keep running to stay slender. I am currently a happy fat ass at 328 lbs, on a 5'7" frame. I am 65 years of age.and content as I am. 😂

[@davidcaskey4669]

Been thinking about the new steering box with the adjustment on it. Check with someone smarter than me but I think that adjustment is only going to change the way the gears in the box contact each other. It's about like how you set up a ring and pinion on a drive axle. It might feel tighter but its just where the gears are meshing deeper together. Call TRW I'm sure they have a tech line that can answer it for you better than me

[@OTRBandit]

Too late buddy. I already installed it. Waiting for snow to go away so I can drive it.

[@davidcaskey4669]

@OTRBandit I've been catching up on the videos. Got cut in the shop getting the trucks tucked in for the winter. Cut turned into bad infection i went septic had to go to ER. I'm sorry I didn't think about that sooner. I've got short spring Hendrickson 52 rears on both of mine and 18 steers they ride like crap but even loaded they handle good and flat. To bad you live so far away we'd slide it in the shop out of the weather and stoke up that ole stove and work warm and dry

[@OTRBandit]

@@davidcaskey4669dang buddy. I’m really sorry to hear that. Wishing you fast and successful recovery. Really wish I had a nice warm shop to work in. If everything goes as planned I think I’ll be looking for a plot of land where I can build something to fix this thing in.

[@OTRBandit]

I did know that but I totally forgot about it. These tires are 16 ply Bridgestone and I got them so that I can carry more weight. I’m just not sure if my axle can handle more than 12,000 even though the tires can.

[@williampatton3444]

I watch your vids often and always find them hilarious and I want to comment on something you said on this one. You commented on an incident involving an individual who was restrained and beaten by correctional officers and then went on to state that there are a few good officers out there but the majority are assholes. Let me first say I was a cop in Miami for thirty-four years and spent the majority of my career working in neighborhoods you would be afraid to enter. I was in shootings, riots and held dying people in my arms and dealt with the worst of the worst during my career, I lost six of my brothers/sisters in the line of duty. It's one thing to have an opinion about someone or group but knowing what you are talking about and having any credibility is another thing. I never judged people I arrested by their skin color, religious believes or nationally. Thats the difference between this country and other countries and thats probably why you came here and have been as successful as you are. Yes this country has its share of problems and no one group is perfect but the majority of cops that are out their busting theirs asses everyday for people they don't know and for people that could care less about them is far more than the bad ones.

[@williampatton3444]

BTW I almost forgot ask Richard's Mom if she remembers me when she was in Miami and I agree with you she is very good!

[@OTRBandit]

Buddy just because you are your friends we’re good cops doesn’t mean that they are all good. I know that there are good cops out there for a fact. It’s just that these bad ones give everyone a bad name. You do know where I came from, right? Worst neighborhood here is like a vacation resort compared to where I’m from. So I think it’s kinda silly to say that I would be afraid of going in some of those neighborhoods. I judge based on what I see online. And I definitely see more bad than good. Hopefully you have a good day buddy and stay safe out there.
