I just wanna say a big thank you to Rick the wonderful administrator of this site, this is the first quality site I've been on that I can get questions answered. The MN DNR is the only other page that I've found that's decent, but it still gets smoked by this site.... so thanks Rick... I'd be way more lost without this site.

I too agree that this site is wonderful!

Rick has worked hard over the past couple years, ensuring fishingminnesota.com is a friendly and educational place to visit.

Occasionally, people forget how to handle themselves on the site, but more often than not, it remains clean, informative and fun!!

I too thank Rick!

Keep the rods bendin'!!!

Well said!

Great Job Rick.

And thank you for a great place to ramble on about fishing and related outdoor events.

Keep it up!

Thanks guys. I appreciate the kudos.

Unfortunately I do not get much time to fish with all the work that goes on behind the scenes.

As a matter of fact, I haven't been able to visit the forums since Tuesday because of the work load.

The folks to really thank are our most excellant Forum Guide Pros. They maintain the quality of their forums, answer questions and try to keep things fun.

The following truly go above and beyond to keep Fishing Minnesota moving ahead:
A big thanks goes to-Toad, GullGuide, Jim W, and Pwaldow.

Now don't think the other Forum Guide Pros don't work hard to help everyone, because they do. It's just that the Forum Guide Pros above have taken on a lot of extra work behind the scenes to help everyone have a better experience.

If you check out the Events where anglers actually get together these guys are instrumental in putting it together. Not to mention also keeping the forums interesting, fun, and friendly.

Participate in an event and you will come away with a new appreciation of what fishing fun is.

Trout Day is coming up soon. E-mail Jim W if you would like to participate or work with him. You'll enjoy the day and if you want to help him, the rewards could be more than you bargained for.

Thanks again for the Kudos.

It's nice to read them when I'm sitting here just plugging away, while you guys are fishing smile.gif

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
