A completely different approach, which may or may not have been helpful here, would be to get in there with a Dremel wand and cutoff wheels. They're thin and small enough for rather "surgical" applications; the pencil-like wand allows fine control, but the wheels slice through steel pretty damn...

My 2012 Tundra Rock Warrior has lived outside since day one, and is used exclusively for towing, hauling, and homestead chores. Heavy winter use in unplowed rural area, snatching stuck vehicles, pulling trees out of my wooded acreage. I refreshed the suspension four corners at 100K with King...

With apologies for not reading the whole thread and thus for potential duplication of verbiage.. but if this is to power a static application that's wired to the building, and if other parameters are in line, a more comprehensive and flexible solution may be desired, e.g...

During the worst day+night of the -20 recent snap, I ran my BMW wagon on pump diesel with RedLine lubricity additive. Unfortunately, only had the case of summer additive on hand, with no anti-gel. Wondered if it'll start, but it sure did and ran well after an hour's warmup as we got ready...

The scientist co-founder of Greenpeace, from back before it was completely co-opted by the corporatocracy, has some profound things to say on the matter:

I haven't read the thread other than seeing the "everyone knows gas lasts 30 days, even with stabilizers" thing - 🤦‍♂️ - so here is a real, large scale datapoint: Out in the boonies with regular storm power outages, I have 100+ gallons of 9-10 year old summer premium pump gas double-dosed with...

The new CPI is a larger lie than the old CPI: Alternate Inflation Charts

I've been very pleased with the 2012 Rock Warrior. So much so that after 100K of hard use as a trailer pull, farm, and winter rescue truck, with OEM TRD (Bilstein) shocks fading, I threw $5K of King / Camburg suspension at it and and intend to keep it forever. It's lived outside since day one...

My sympathies. Lefty coastal bureaucrats and their virtue signalling regulations are cancerous and insane.

We're "almost neighbors" -- main house is on the southern edge of Spokane Valley. Y'all ride dirt or ADV or Harleys? :) This is nearby, looking out somewhat toward the Palouse...

Three tree strikes on our house in the last crazy storm, with trees down everywhere and some houses cut in half. The pros wanted $9K for tree removal and to use a crane, which is what the insurance estimate came out to as well. In practice, one nerd with a chainsaw and TLB was sufficient. So...
