Where was it arcing and sparking from? Typically the motors are pretty good unless they were sitting filled with water. Was it for sure the motor itself? You can get new bearings and brushes for them and they are fairly simple to replace. If it is a problem with the windings you are probably...

This is a great rig and someone will be happy with it for sure. Well taken care of and a great seller! Good luck with the sale.

Many people paint their tanks and I can't find any law that says you can't. I don't see any reason why plasti-dip would be any different. I would make a call to your favorite filling station first though and ask what they say. The person filling the tank is supposed to watch for condition of the...

Hancock is good for vehicle camping in the winter. It's pretty much the only campground around for that. Lafayette campground is open year round but gated in the winter. You need to hike in. Most of Hancock is plowed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Noah ended up doing some ice climbing on Sunday.

Here are some of the photos that I took. Unfortunately most of mine came out really poor. The happiest camper: We all met up at a ranger station at the head of the Kancamagus Highway. We formed a very rough plan and made our way to the first set of waterfalls. Along the way we passed an old...

X2. I've bought and sold a few Discos. Last one was a 2004 S with 140k and 0 rust. It needed a couple of small things when I bought it (forget what, but under $100) and I paid $3600 I believe. I fixed everything and sold it for $4200 after driving it for a few months. $11k is dreaming. NICE...

Nexus 10 doesn't have 3/4g, right? How do you handle mobile GPS?

I'm in the same position as you and trying to make a decision. For me, I think I have it narrowed down to the tablets that are proven to work on T-mobile so that I can take advantage of their free data plan. It's a small amount of data but enough to run GPS. Compatible tablets are listed here...

A little late to the party but I just bought a 6" foam mattress: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005G5RZIY for $130 shipped. I have slept on a 4" foam mattress before in the back of truck and it works well but I am hoping the 6" provides a little more padding. I haven't used it in the truck yet but I...

Something is definitely wrong with your headlights. Your headlights have been swapped for the newer style. This means that you have a wiring harness adapter installed from your truck wiring to the headlights. The cheap adapters can burn up and cause problems like you show. Check the adapter on...

I updated to the 2005-2007 style headlights and it was a great improvement over stock. I like having stock components. Total price was around $300. I went with a chrome grille since I didn't want the expense of paint matching and I went with Harley headlights because I couldn't decide on Harley...

The MaxTrax arrived yesterday. I REALLY need to get this up to Third Shift Fab to get the roof rack built! I have the light bar and MaxTrax. I will probably order an awning this week and the Hi-Lift. That is everything that goes on the roof. I think the rack will really complete the look of the...

40" bar is gone. Only 50" left.

I did that drive in an antique Defender 110. The seats did not recline or slide forward or back. One position only! After having a 2002 4Runner for several years I can say with some assurance that the 4Runner is more than enough for the trip. There are certainly more capable and more comfortable...

Front bumper is installed! Also did grille and headlights at the same time. Awesome bumpers. Fuel range isn't normally a concern but I have a couple of trips planned this year into North Maine for about a week at a time and we will be needing some extra fuel. I'll probably build something...

Roof rack will be custom built. I have modified the design that I posted above to keep it lower profile. The top of the rack will be completely flat and the LED bar will hang below it on the front. Spare tire and fuel still need to be figured out. I don't want a 37" spare inside the truck or...

I paid $3250 for this one and have about $600 in repairs into it. A working diesel is $13k+. That's the only reason.

Buckstop bumpers arrived today. I managed to get them prepped and ready for install tomorrow!

I thought the Dana 50 was found under the F250 and F350. The D60 was only in the Dually F350s. In 2005(?) they switched to the D60 up front for all Super Dutys. Like someone else said, there is more to ratings than just axles, tires and suspension being the two biggest factors. Your axles can...
