Yep, as I mentioned in the post, I wouldn't want to use that for more than a few minutes. However, for it's intended use, it's great. It's not for splitting wood, it's for chopping roofs or striking another tool. Especially for the latter, F=MxA.

I'm interested in hearing people's experiences with the Griphoist product.

Damn, I'm jealous. I don't actually have one, though I purchased three to give as gifts to my groomsmen when I got married!

The early Ford Broncos ('70-'75) had drum brake Dana 44's that many have converted to disk using parts from a Chevy Dana 44. I did mine around 10 years ago, but I really don't remember a lot of the specifics other than that I bought the kit from Wild Horses. A more modern day search of Bronco...

Fire Axe Someone said something about asking a firefighter. OK. Here's my two cents. Those who spoke of handle length and head weight are right on. My high school physics and calculus days are long behind me, but I seem to remember something about force = mass x acceleration. Mass = the...

Price drop Bump with a price drop. Now asking $10,000 firm.

Hence the phrase, "practicing medicine". Shock, shock, shock, everybody shock, little shock, big shock Remember that? Stacked shocks, epi, lidocaine, bretellyum

Simple answer... yes, I have one. Mine is a '74 with factory C-4 automatic and power steering. I prefer the '74/'75 models to the '76/'77 ones. No catalytic converter and a different steering set up. I put a 351W in it in around 1992. It only has around 20K miles on it since then. Lot's of...

I keep thinking of a vintage Power Wagon with a Cummins.

Yep, it's a sure sign that I'm getting older when I like truck porn better than real porn.

Just giving myself a bump. Still trying to sell this truck.

I saw someone on here post about making a pressurized eye wash station into a shower. I'm thinking that it would make a great mister. Someone has a few NOS ones on eBay right now for $99. Eye wash station One thing I do know, a Hudson sprayer -- at least a cheap plastic one -- doesn't work...

Hmmm... I wonder if one could drill and grommet the safe so that an external screen and keyboard could be used with a secured laptop. Or maybe use some kind of bulkhead through connector. You'd have to unlock the case to turn the laptop on, but still....

You can now get a new CPS at Napa for less than $40. They used to be $129 or something before the recall.

Just ordered one of these from Dave. I intend to use it when out hiking on fires. There's some great potential to use the tracking feature to sent a fireline back to base camp by satellite long before I could hike back and download my GPS. I also just found a rebate form at West Marine. Go...

You're more than welcome to come buy my 7.3 F250!

So what are the prices? On edit: At one place, the front was listed at $3500 and the rear $3200.

Yeah, exactly. It's not always necessary, but sometimes I stealth it in a rest stop or someplace. I don't have to have the camper fully closed when I close the swingout, but need a way to reach through a narrowly opened door at least. Maybe I should hinge it even with the door and connect it...

I used a Costco yoga pad. It's around 2 ft wide by 6 ft long and around 2 in thick. It's not the softest thing in the world, but it'll do. I actually have two, so I can stack them if it's just me, or put them side by side if the wife is along. $35 http://tinyurl.com/costcoyogamat John

My biggest problem is figuring out how to close the swing out after/during closing the rear door. I like the utility of a swing down, but then I'd be fighting gravity as well.
