LOL...that link lists all the parts from 'Hustler'. I did the same when I was browsing the site last night.

This is the quick connect listed: https://www.radioworld.ca/hus-qd2

Thanks for the tips

Lol no idea how that happened but yah, that's the one. I've been using the same on for about 7 years now and it still works great. I've had it with a 3ft & 4ft firestick and now an 8ft whip.

Sounds like a good idea, they supported the club, the club should support them.

I went down to Ted's after AW to thank him and to buy mount and cable. He did not have the mount I was looking for. I think one of the Ottawa guys has a mount I could use but I cannot remember who it was or where it was from.

This weekend I prepped my floorboard for welding, put my oil pan back in with a new gasket set (what a b*tch!), cut out the floor patches and cut the body mount bolt off that snapped off. If I can get it running (well fill the oil and re attach the exhaust) this weekend, I just might make AW. Thanks to PhullD for coming and kicking my ass to keep going.

Fresh oil and filter. Lubed all joints. Found a few issues I need to fix. Will probably just attend to them over the winter.

Working on a front receiver for the X. A bit quick and dirty, but doesn't need to be fancy.

Cool, I assume it's just something you toss on temporarily when you need it then pull off?

Indeed. Normally I have a brush guard that's installed up front

I find the truck looks fugly without it.

It makes it less cute with the brush guard I find.

Way better off. And if you hit something it won't destroy your fenders, hood, grille and bumper all at once.
