We had a local forum for car enthusiasts that was awesome for stuff just like this. Unfortunately it died when fb got popular.
Main thing that made me post was thinking back seeing a post where someone was talking about needing a weird combination of things to do the serpentine belt but couldn’t find the post. So I rolled the dice with my own post.

Ya, that was pretty dumb on my part. The whole evening was a scramble...
Vandiesel, looks like you posted as we were waiting for breakfast. Appreciate your response as well!
Our weekend was great overall. Got to cutting down trees about 11. Wife was actually able to help which is rare these days so we were able to get about 2/3’s the trailer full by 5pm. We were spent so we wandered to some hot springs. Wife couldn’t join due to her ongoing foot issues, but as she made dinner I had me a nice 1.5 hour soak.
I got up this morning and and was able to find enough wood right at the hot springs to fill up rest of trailer. Got everything ready to go and both the wife and I enjoyed a 1.5 hour soak. So nice after busting your butt all day. Drive home was typical highway 55 road train. One jackass holding up 30 cars. Stopped at a Mexican restaurant just outside of town to get off the road train and waited out the traffic with dinner.
Saw a blue 4wd e350 on our way home too. I missed it till last second due to sun in my eyes but wife saw it and waves were exchanged. Thinking it might be the gent that lives in riggins?? Can’t remember his screen name but he runs the salmon river as a guide iirc.
I’ll try to post a few pix tomorrow and thanks again for the long distance support! I love this place!!
