    1976 Scout Traveler, Ultimate Expedition Build

    It was about time for me to read through this thread again for some inspiration. Thank you for sharing the excellent design and fab work with us!

    Another Cummins truck: 91.5 W250, the "Blue Ox"

    That 60 is beautiful, and ARB has a great design to their equipment IMO. Front end protection is a prime consideration in this bumper build. I did not think on the order of Moose/Elk though, that sheds new light. We have a thick population of deer here in WNY and I have seen some damage to...

    Another Cummins truck: 91.5 W250, the "Blue Ox"

    I dont know how to superimpose the bumper over a photo. I have been trying to formulate a design for the front bumper for over a year. Thank you for the input, you gents bring up a good point that the high grille bar would look better for the 1st gen. Below are some photos I have been...

    Another Cummins truck: 91.5 W250, the "Blue Ox"

    Thanks, I was favoring the straight bar all along, but tried out the angled look today on the computer. I just had a thought today that I could mount lights on the straight side bars either side of the main grille loop. Before I was always thinking they'd go on top of the main grille loop...

    Which grille side tube looks better on a 1st gen Ram, the straight or the angled?

    Are you timing the pump the proper way? I don't know the proper procedure, but I did read it was important in the manual. I'm glad that mine doesn't leak, thanks for posting pictures

    my EXPO rig/ 01 F-350 7.3

    Sharp truck, I like that you actually have need for a crew cab. I like the bumper a lot, just made me question building a rectangular tube bumper for my truck. The grille looks very sharp, a workmate has a '99 7.3 with the '05 grille as well.

    Oh man, that makes me look forward to some snow wheeling. We'll see if Buffalo actually gets some snow this year with the climate change we have been seeing over here

    Another Cummins truck: 91.5 W250, the "Blue Ox"

    So on Thanksgiving day, some friends and I made it out to go do some exploring, which would be my 1st outing with the truck. I had always wanted to get back to Allegany State Park, to learn more of the trails and geography. The day trip was about 135miles round trip from home and back...

    Another Cummins truck: 91.5 W250, the "Blue Ox"

    I just completed a great mod for driveability, which is moving the throttle rod to the inboard hole on the throttle lever. When I went to do this, I cracked one of the plastic ball joint ends on the throttle rod, you can see the cracked plastic end at the bottom of the picture. A google search...

    Another Cummins truck: 91.5 W250, the "Blue Ox"

    Here is a mod I did a few months back to my truck to improve the water fording height. The stock air box has a rectangular tube that points down to behind the front bumper, which is about 30" from the ground on a stock truck. That means you cant even go in as high as a stock tire. I realized...

    Another Cummins truck: 91.5 W250, the "Blue Ox"

    Here is a video showing the steering stabilizer kit I installed on the truck. My truck was getting "death wobble", probably mostly due to the drag link being worn out. But this kit squashed the wobble even with the bad drag link. It did add a little steering effort, for the most part only...

    Another Cummins truck: 91.5 W250, the "Blue Ox"

    Partly inspired by member Metcalf's Doitall Dodge build, I decided to start a thread, now that it has completed its first offroad exploration outing (more later). I purchased this truck in February 2012, 300miles away in Catskill NY. It was purchased from the original owner, a 70 to 80 year...

    Lifted MKV Golf

    I think it was executed quite well. I have a mk4 Jetta, and I purchased some Moog replacement springs for the front, supposedly for the VR6 cars, that are stiffer rate and should lift the front end up. Gcraft you could search around for a heavier rate spring or just make spacers. There is a...

    Ute/flatbed setups

    Awesome truck! My 3-5 year plan with my '91 is to swap on a crew cab, but I want to do it on my Reg cab/long bed wheel base. The back of the cab would stop before the rear wheel and I could build a 5' flat bed without extending the length of the vehicle or 6' by adding 1', it looks as though...

    Dodge Cummins 12v or Nissan Patrol TD42

    I like my old 91 dodge, I love that its diesel. Its true that they are tanks, but there is so much to update and refresh on them, it can be daunting, either spend alot of money up front, or put up and slowly fix it to your liking. If you get a Dodge diesel, get a MANUAL trans. If you get a...
