Had my first airbag blow out on me

Brand new. Routine change.. came in with torn sidewall so they hadn't had any air. Dropped frame back down leveling valve normal started truck and when i crawled back there, i saw the bag go sideways and barely got out an "oh shit!" Before i jumped away and it blew the base off. Kaboom!!!

The spring hangers are 1.5" inward from another Freightliner m2 we have in the shop. The top pucs never make full contact with the frame. Some rubber always touching frame. Second picture is the normal ride location that the old ones were running for who knows how long

My wife snagged this beauty.

I can about guarantee Ham in the middle decided to wedge himself in there. Never seen all 3 in there.

The two on the left are a little over 1yo grabbed from a shelter at the same time. Orange boy is around 14

Any idea what this is? I80

I thought haul truck at first glance but now I'm wondering if it's a wheel loader. Something like a 992 or bigger.

I've escorted up to a 773 haul truck which can be hauled on 4 axle lowboy. 992 required removing cab and wheels to move and was on 9 axle rail

Anyone have a go to to cut a welding rod to get fresh flux?

Nothing over 3/32 but I'd be curious on larger rods. I could be lazy and toss it but i use half rods all the time. Cut off wheel the best? I was hoping for an angle cutter type tool if it exists. 6010 7018 here. Thanks

Going to pass this down to my kin for generations

Crazy amount of carnage from a wheel stud.

Isuzu NPR. Budd wheels. New outer tire. Can't say if the tire guy didn't properly tighten the inner Budd stud or what. Nothing left of the brake shoes or really anything else. Driver rear ended someone. Id assume he'd still have half his brakes remaining like is common on passenger cars

My submission for pork belly burnt ends and mac

First time after seeing this i think on r/smoking last week. Maybe the best BBQ I've done so far. Mac wasn't saucy enough but I'll figure that out next time. I don't really follow recipes.

One big question and I'm glad i had the pizza pan but it eventually filled up and started feeding the fire. I was worried about putting 5lb of bacon over an open flame and i was correct. Is there a round pan that's about 1/2" deep just to catch fat? I can weld something if need be but was just curious if anyone has a better solution. I'll trim some of the fat cap next time too.

Somehow i butt dialed a $300 whoop purchase

I think it was the AI assistant. I was on there looking at an activity and i think my phone screen wasn't locked and phone in pocket. Got the email an hour later thanking me for my purchase. Luckily got it refunded the next morning without issue. I think it requires a blood sample anyway but still
