Thanks! I have a small trip to post (Walker Valley in WA) but the trails were pretty tight and rocky, so really only have some videos from friends.. will try and take a few stills from those vids and post here. The Mustang is JUST resuming.... I've been crazy busy with work so it's kinda been...

Haha no way, that's funny! In all fairness, I was driving a different truck.. a "hand painted camo" Chevy C20 regular cab with a Kubota tractor in the 8ft bed, and it was pretty dark at the front of the lane I was parked. I'm sure we'll cross paths again though.

Saw your rig driving off the ferry in Departure Bay last night.. I was 1st in line to get on the lower deck of the boat, you drove right in front of me..... truck and camper setup looks great!

Are you talking about a 1st gen VE pump 6BT 12V or the more colloquial "12V" from a 2nd gen with a P-pump? I've P-pumped my 24V and it's great.. the mechanical injection action has a beautifully-linear fueling curve for softly loading of the tires over rocks/ditches and other slow-crawl...

Good to know!

That's really cool! Very awesome to see effort still being put into these old [reliable/simple/cool] 12V motors to keep them running better and cleaner at the same time. Power Driven Diesel came out with their own line of "PowerJet" injectors for VE and P-pump 12V's, and although there aren't...

Heck yeah man, you got this! I also have a Steed Speed exhaust manifold, and couldn't agree more with what you said about it. I have a PDD 362sxe and the turbo has no issue keeping it happily fed with exhuast at 1300 or 2100rpm, and transient response is fantastic and linear (no crazy...

Good luck! It's....... detail intensive haha. On that note, loving the detail you're getting into.. great to see!

Oh whoops.. my bad, I just assumed there was a link in my signature...... but apparently not haha. Here: https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/1998-5-dodge-ram-ctd-sally.167293/

Kinda, in two ways: 1) my day job is a suspension/frame/materials engineer for a MTB company, and 2) I design and fabricate parts for every one of my vehicles.. but primarily my Dodge, and I can't help but invest engineering time and analysis in every single part that I make (and re-make). I...

Awesome!! I'm pretty familiar with Van Isle, would love to live there one day. I went to UVic for mechanical engineering, and during that time spent many weekends in Cobble Hill and Duncan wrenching on friends' truck/car projects. 4 of my 6 vehicles were bought on the island, and I drove them...

You had me at 1st gen with a logger box, and then I noticed you're local-ish! You said "headed south towards Ladysmith"..are you Nanaimo area, or further up island? Can't wait to see more updates or even just info on how this thing evolves!

Can't wait for summer! This was the last dry trip out last fall:

Hammers is WILD. My friend and I were two of those anonymous bystanders that ended up helping countless times from Sunday night thru Thursday night; my friend (in the Crawl mag hoodie) is leaning over into the driver's window in this pic. We started getting recognized as "those two Canadians...

And installed...
