Containers need to be managed closely because they dry out quickly. The more you water the more you’re rinsing nutrients out. It’s not complicated, it’s just more work.
Global Bucket setup helps solve this issue.

re: Best removable roof for side by side

I have a Pioneer 1000 without a windshield. I use a Shadecloth style soft roof. It works great for us. It attaches with loop bungee cords to the roll cage.
re: Car search for my son
Posted by Chris4x4gill2 on 1/6/26 at 7:25 am to Seeker
classic car is cool, but your probably starting too late if you want it ready by time he is 16.
My 16yr old son drives a 94 K2500. It was running/driving, but had been sitting for several years so it took us a full year to get it tuned up, cleaned, painted and audio installed. No major work needed, but as he drives it small things pop up that need attention. The past couple months since he has started daily driving it, had the alternator go bad and the water pump go out. Both easy fixes that he can do / help with, but they had the truck down for a couple days each time. Other stuff has been fixed upgraded as well as we notice them, but werent things that kept him from driving it in the mean time.

re: Jeep battery always dead
Posted by Chris4x4gill2 on 8/19/25 at 2:57 pm to CrawfishElvis
Vehicle dependent. but on mine there was no indication that was noticed when he went to get out of the truck. No chimes, I guess because of the key being removed. Radio was rarely on so that wasn't a give away.

re: Body/Full Paint Job
Posted by Chris4x4gill2 on 6/17/25 at 7:04 am to Semper Gumby
North Alabama - I just shopped paint for a 94 K2500 that we are fixing up for my son. No color change, no body work, White Paint - Typical 90's chevy peeling on roof and hood.
everyone wanted 10-12K to prep, prime and paint. Did not include trim re-installed, decals, etc. I couldnt justify the cost for this truck. Ended up at MAACO - they quoted 3500 and 4 weeks. Ended up taking 10 weeks, but cost was as quoted. It has some overspray and a few runs, but looks 100x better than previous and looks good at 10ft. Not show quality but I am happy with it for a driver.

This. Dont rely on the frame for ground contact. Run a ground wire to each tail light and back to the plug.

I have planted several on our hunting property. Probably just under 1/2 are still alive after 2 years. They were all small bare root seedlings.
I have about 8 that I potted this spring and will try to get them up to 3 or 5 gallon size at least before transplanting this time.

re: Is there a such thing as skidsteer skill training courses?
Posted by Chris4x4gill2 on 2/11/25 at 2:20 pm to Mr. Hangover
our (Alabama) community college system and some High Schools have training courses and certification for equipment, I know skid steer is one that they use. Not sure if they go beyond the basics as I would assume they are geared toward people with little or no previous experience.
re: What's your auto parts store of choice?
Posted by Chris4x4gill2 on 2/11/25 at 1:58 pm to SouthernInsanity
Local Discount Auto is my #1 go to. They have a good inventory and prices are lower than the chains - about equal to Rock Auto on most things.
Rock Auto is my #2 if its something Discount Auto cant get quickly.
