It's not too cold. It's just a bit nippy. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Actually this is the year to do it. Water is several degrees warmer than normal. Listen clostly and you'll here the nut jobs screaming "Global Warming" while the scientists go...we'll see.

I must be a sissy then...I have the hard top on, with blacked out windows, with my A/C functioning properly and Im still freakin' HOT!!

I think next time I head to the beach, Im gonna be brave and take the top off [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

yeah, that's a little different then. i could see lending to the same people that lent to you.

i sold the ex-tour quad (not quite a rental). it was a Honda 250 TRX (utility/rec), ES. i bought a 400 Foreman, 2001, with about 400 miles on it.
Some of them are the same[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Seems more and more little kids are showing up when we ride[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] So, the Honda 70 really gets used alot.

The side of my house looks like a ATV shop[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

That's right, How's your father-in-laws doing?

I dont think its supposed to move at all there. just my theory. you know if you knowsomeone else with a crewcab or just goto the dealer and crawl under a new one and wiggle the first shaft you would know pretty quick. you can make sure its not that U joint right the by holding eachside and rattling back and forth. I think we will call that the ford 100k - 125k clunk [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
LOL! I did lay down with my legs sticking out[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Asked my buddy if he had been drinking today[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] When he looked at me weird[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] I explained why I wanted to know[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
There is some play. U-joints seem alright. Talked to tech at local Ford. Apparently, they say to pack grease into the slip joint at the rear axle. According to him, there is suppose to be some play in the "center bearing housing". I guess seeing I just turned that infamous 100,000 miles, I am paying more attention to noises and how it drives[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Never noticed it before[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Guess I play underneath it a little more before I decide to fork out money.

Thanks for the information Creator[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Are you familiar with what the tech told me?

I need to do a little research tonight, when I get home.
