    Help me build an automotive wiring Tool Box!

    I rewired my truck last year and came away with a few things. First, insulated connectors kinda suck. Go with non insulated butt connectors of good quality. Some have a split in them and you have to avoid crimping on it or it will be compromised. Second, use good 3M marine shrink wrap with...

    Naw man, took my 13 yo daughter out a bunch with high hopes of getting her first deer. Missed a few opportunities but such is life. Had some great times though and spent about ten nights in the back of the camper talking and playing cards. She's hooked so it was very worth while. I see all my...

    Pivot Frame on Crew-Cab Pickup?

    Cool truck man. I think I'd rather bust windshields, camper shells and core supports than take on a potential engineering nightmare like a pivot frame. You could always box the frame to add stiffness but I'd just keep running it as is and beef up the stuff that breaks until she holds together...

    Recommend a charcoal BBQ for travel

    I need to break down and get a BBQ for taking with me. What should I be looking to get? Webers Smokey Joe looks ok. Anything better?

    Yeah, I like the clearance, but hate the height. Not much luck this year for me. My good buddy shot one we packed in for. Made a few memories. Excited to take my 12 yo daughter this coming season. She likes backpacking and spending time with Dad, so win/win.

    I'm gonna cut fenders if I have to and keep the 37's. Guys are telling me 37's work with only a little trimming on the front part of the front fenders. We shall see. As for the width of the frame, mine is right at 38" wide. The earlier trucks were narrower. I have a donor f-350 trailer special...

    Thanks man. Ran into my dream rig over the summer. The old boy in the back was awesome. Just had that demeanor that good old Shepherds get. Great day. Had a wheel bearing get loose over on the coast on our wedding anniversary camp out. Pulled the wood post out of the ground and drove up...

    1978 Ford Crew Cummins hunting rig

    Thanks Bojak. Not much to report. Went through the front suspension and redid the shackles. That helped a bunch with how it handles. Rerouted the exhaust and hung it properly. The exhaust shop I used hard mounted the 53" muffler so when it flexed it broke in a spot. Also redid the trans cross...

    We went to Ensenada. Met a lot of great folks down there. My 17yo and I went down with our church. It was a great experience for both of us. We built a house for a young minister and his family. Poor guy was living in a house not much bigger than a walk in closet with his wife and young child...

    Just back from Mexico. Had a great time and met some incredible folks. I bought new shoes before I left. Went up to a 37 x 12.50-17's in the Goodyear MTR. Much better. Camping at the beach was fun. Nice to have all my gear there with me and not have to fool around with a tent. This is what...
