I got the injectors all rebuilt and put back in and with relatively little drama to boot! The only issue was when I lost one of the needle spring stops and had to order a new one from Matt at Bitterroot Diesel. While I was in there I replaced the valve cover gaskets and harnesses just to be...

Not off the top of my head, but I can measure my driveshaft and let you know lengths. I will try and get them for you tomorrow.

I have been running the 37/12.5/16.5 military take offs for several years but they are getting pretty hard to find and can be a pain to keep smooth after 30k miles so I ended up switching to some normal rubber this time. I looked at a lot of tires and ended up with the Cooper STT Pros in...

It has been a long time since I have posted anything on here since the photobucket nonsense kind of killed my motivation for updates. It looks like the portal has fixed it and now all the pictures are back! I still have the truck and it is in the middle of a big overhaul. I put new wheels and...

Unfortunately due to Photobuckets decision to strong arm people into paying $400 a year to keep the links to their images working this thread has become pretty useless. That's a big bummer since I have had so many people tell me that it has helped them with their builds along the way. I plan on...

I like the flatbed and wheels. I plan on flat bedding my truck at some point as well, keep on trucking!

We went on our first family camping adventure of the year a few weeks back. We have been wanting to head out to the Sequim area for a few years now and finally made it out there. The Olympic peninsula is a super interesting area with the mountains only 20 min from the ocean. So much to do and...

More mechanical fun stuff. I was able to fix the pedal pivot location and replace the clutch master and slave to round out the mechanical upgrades. The clutch master was leaking pretty bad and causing issues shifting. I moved the brake master pivot up about 7/8" and made a plug for the hole...

I thought about it, but I didn't have the time to do the saginaw conversion. I got a F450 PS pump that is made for hydroboost trucks so it has the extra return for the booster. The Pump now powers the booster and the steering box. Thanks!

Gongrats on the new home! Like you I love my OBS PSD for its unique ability to handle everything I throw at it. Take care of it and it will take care of you!

Alright so a real update! I moved the prosthetics production facility I manage to a new building in February and as a bonus I now have a bay for my tools and personal projects. I am so pumped to finally have a garage big enough to fit my truck! First a recap of the steering and hydroboost...

Long time no update. I have been super busy with work moving to a new shop so nothing has changed on the truck other than the mileage. I have been using the living day lights out of it though and it is in need of some love so I am replacing the steering shaft, box, PS pump and adding hydro...

That is something I am looking forward to for sure!

Ridethebigone; The seat covers are made by Smittybuilt and they are for a JK Jeep. They fit most seats pretty well but I need to remake the straps that hold them on to keep them in place better. I tweaked the bender stand a little bit o fix some of the things I was not happy about. First off...

I have a few truck updates and a tool one. In the process of picking up my car trailer from a coworker that was renting it from me I had my front drivers side brake line fail on me. It was pretty crazy as his driveway is about a 30* incline and I had to crank the wheel hard left and hold on the...

Looks good, I am interested to see what you ended up with. I had a similar progression on my D60 swap were I started out with a simple plan to do leafs and ended up with radius arms and coilovers. I found that the more you inboard the main pivots the better a radius arms setup works, and some of...

Thanks for your support man, I really appreciate it! As far as keeping the D50 or swapping to a D60 it really depends on your ability to fab and how much you like to work on your truck. Since you don't have a place to work on it the simplest path is probably the best or it gets expensive fast...

The hoops I made last night were 66" wide at the base. It was one continuous tube so no need to weld two 90* together. Also we matched the angle to the cab on his 4th gen Ram @70*. Looked good enough that I will probably make myself a new rack now that I have a bender.

No problem Gabe, I just bent up some hoops for a buddies RTT rack last night. The hardest part now is picking a project. There are so many I can do that I have to decide what is the most important LOL!

I have been wanting a hydro conversion for the JD2 bender ever since I picked it up. At first I was planning on getting the SWAG offroad kit but the cost of a hydro cylinder and the mount kit was more than I could justify at this time. I have bent a few things with just the handle and it is not...
