It's out. I bought a load leveler at harbor freight. The 2 ton version. It made this a one man job. Simple. Love it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Front clip is off. Bolts are out of the cab. Doors are sold. Ready to pull it in the garage and rip the engine, transmission and transfercase out of it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I use the stuff to clean masonry / concrete. I use it all the time on my driveway. (because land rover). Oil spots are easily cleaned off with it and and a pressure washer. I figured the same thing would would on an engine. It worked great! I sprayed a little water on the engine first to...

Getting ready to pull the motor, tranny and transfercase. Cleaned the engine with miratic acid. Very nice way to clean the crap off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The engine doesn't need any wires to run. Just a glow plug wire to warm up the cylinders. So, I picked this up for $500. 100K miles on it. It hasn't run since 2008. It has the 6.2 Diesel. I know, I know, no one likes that motor much. but if you think about the intended use, backcountry...

Quick update. I can't get this thing to start. It could be bad valve adjustment. I dont' know. I'm sick of it. So I just found a complete 1985 Chevy 1/2 Ton 4x4. It has a 6.2L Diesel / 700R4 and whatever transfercase came with it. I'm picking it up on Friday, ripping it out and then i'll stuff...

Ok one more annoying thing I had the fix. The back seats don't fold forward so I was losing lots of storage area. The megacabs allow the seats to flip forward. So why not the crew cabs. Who knows. I found others were staking washers so they will fold forward. I thought there was a better...

Added a light bar. I'm done for now. I'm pretty happy with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The SCR Catalytic converter has to be replaced. Its getting replaced under warranty. The service guy at Larry H Miller in Riverdale, UT said they are having lots of issues with the SCR cats. The new ones they are installing delete the Ammonia sensor. He said this cuts down on the use of...

Ok, So the next mod is some forward facing lighting. Its getting darker for longer everyday that passes right now. So I purchased a 30" Curved LED light bar. I'll post up on that as soon as it shows up. I'm going to start looking into some shocks. The stocks are fine, but don't have a lot...

I took it on a trip with my kids and wife. We went out to the Devils Playground in the West Desert of Utah. It did pretty good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is my old F350. I need to sell it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is it. I debadged it and put a leveling kit on it. I also got some husky floor mats for the front and back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I bought a 2013 Ram 2500 Laramie Crew Cab Long Bed with the 6.7 Cummins. It had 14K miles on it when I got it a month ago. Curious as to what you guys think of it as a light duty off road truck. It has on it so far some 305/70/17 Nitto all terrain tires. And i think this one has the...

Turbo fit up and the start of the exhaust system. It's gonna be a tight fit. Doing a little work on my junk instead of other people's junk. A little me time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Starting exhaust fabrication for the Mercedes engine. I'll be ditching the stock turbo for this TD04 off a Volvo. Should give the engine a nice bump in power. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think I've finally figured out what's wrong. It doesn't seem like my lift pump on the injection pump is working right. I just got the pump all back in and started to prime it. It started leaking fuel out. Now let's just hope I can find a new one. This pump I have is the Rare European M...

So I'm still working on this thing. I've been hindered by a bad injection pump. I'm not sure if it's not timed right or it's the IP itself. Today I finally pulled the pump. I though it would be a lot harder than it was. It took all of 30 minutes. I picked up another IP. So I need to set the...
