Wow you do nice work. That thing looks sweet. Will be stealing some ideas from it.

If you are going to be towing put a big aux trans cooler in the truck.

Sent you a PM

Cool truck but not for big guys.

You only get wet when you stop or go slow. I drove a 68 Bronco around quite a bit when I was younger in the Pacific Northwet, most of the time it was topless. Freeway speeds were no problem staying dry. I would go by an awning/sail maker and see if they could make you some type of cover to go...

The 7.3 is an awesome engine, especially compared to some of the later Ford diesel engines but under valve cover harnesses melting down is one of their few weaknesses. And I mean few weaknesses. I have repaired quite a few of them for this problem. They have the glow plugs and injector wiring...

Just watched the second video, pretty impressive ramp. It pretty much showed that Subaru knows how to build AWD cars that perform. Some of the other manufacturers still have some homework to do on their "AWD" cars.

As a mechanic I would say Subaru. I have worked on both, Honda CRV's are good, the only weak link is the auto transmission. You have one go out and they are expensive and I have seen a few go out. Subarus seem pretty much bulletproof, they some issues but are very easy to work on compared to...

Try the International Fullsize Jeep Association website. They have lots of info on your rig. I have a 68 M-715 I am building, should have driving and trip worthy by May. If you have kids the fullsize Jeeps are great, more room and less $$ to get into than just about any other Jeep out there...

A 1978 Subaru Brat was my first car, my mom had a 1978 Station wagon so my dad bought me the Brat. First car I let him finance me on, it took ten years before I let him finance me again.:) I had it a year and then got a 1966 Scout and my sister got it for her first car, she is a year younger...

Can you get new fabric for it, or is it going to be a custom job? What are the dimensions on the top, near the top? How soon does it need picked up?

Those are sweet rigs and you can usually get them for pretty cheap. The only downside is they are a little thirsty at todays gas prices and they are burdened down with smog stuff that cuts the power. You can help in both those areas by adding fuel injection, JP magazine has an article on one...

If its running bad under load but ok with no load and the smell is like its running rich I would check the ignition components first. You could have a component that is starting to fail, it will show up pretty quick when you put a load on it. Check the distributor cap and rotor, check the plug...

I would probably stay away from the Rockwell 5 ton toploaders for something that is street driven on a regular basis. The center section takes up alot of room so you need a pretty good lift for engine/diff clearance and they are really low geared. You could probably find a duece and a half air...

How wide is it? Overall width and inside?

The smaller the diesel generator the more its going to cost. I have looked into getting one but for a small one for like an RV the cost is crazy. I am going to use a Honda EU series. They are gas, small, lightweight, fuel efficient, and the most important thing is they are super quiet. You...

Good price, you could never duplicate the rig for what he is asking.

I learn something new everyday.:Wow1: I didn't even think about the possibility of oil contamination in the crankcase from the blowby. Thats another reason why its important to make sure the engine is up to operating temp before switching over WVO.

Yes I work on vehicles that smell. I don't mind the ones that smell like the van in the picture, they have money and it usually smells too but in a good way.
