    Project "Autonomous" F-350

    The morning of the big race I saw Healyjet camped by the course. He looked to be still in bed so I took a quick shot of our trucks and headed to work. First spot of the day shooting into the sun.

    I would have loved to share a cup of coffee and said hello, but I had work commitments that took me away.

    Project "Autonomous" F-350

    Is it snow? Is it hail? Some weird stuff came down last night. It's like sawdust.

    Project "Autonomous" F-350

    Stood in the pouring rain all day on Saturday. Soaked through multiple water proof? layers. Sunday was blue skies and gorgeous. The lake bed was greasy. Had fun drifting around in 2WD. It's amazing where this truck will go in 2WD. Then did some 4low, 1st gear rock crawling to get to the canyon I...

    Project. The inline 6 is going into this truck. It's an extended cab f250. It will be my daily driver.

    Somehow I became a Ford guy.

    Project "Autonomous" F-350

    If it works, leave it alone. The problem comes when you try to fix it. Factory replacements are expensive. Anything aftermarket or rebuilt these days is a crap shoot. My next move is to try using one of those bleeders that force the fluid through the system under pressure from the master...

    Where to find springs for spring mounting my box.

    Project "Autonomous" F-350

    I love those callen campers. I took my truck to Atlas, and went to the scales with Fernando. They made the springs custom to my truck. That callen is pretty light I'm guessing. You might be able to just run some shelf parts. They would know better than me.

    Project "Autonomous" F-350

    Here is a shot looking out across the valley from our shooting spot last year. You can see a car heading towards us on the course. We had to park down where the course goes out of the bottom of the photo, and climb up the canyon. There is no trail, just loose rocks and boulders. It's pretty...

    It takes some driving, and some climbing to get to the big rock trails.

    Project "Autonomous" F-350

    Ouch. Yes they were on the truck before, but I took them off to fabricate the suspension on the Uhaul. I've been riding around on stock superduty springs. I will be at KOH next week and there is a 3 mile stretch of crossgrain that I have to cover in a hurry. Wanted to get the plush springs back...

    Wrestling with my Atlas leaf springs today. Got them in without killing myself or breaking anything.

    Project "Autonomous" F-350

    The bleeder screw you are talking about is the rabs valve (rear abs). I removed it from the system as it only works intermittently. It has never helped me to avoid an accident, it always nearly causes one when it kicks in and the truck won't stop. I get the concept they were after, but I think...

    Project "Autonomous" F-350

    I have a bunch of the inline 6 parts out for machining. In order to run the HEI distributor, I needed the cam gear bored out to fit the shaft. I also needed to modify one of the accessory drive pulleys, and turn down the od of the transmission input shaft housing so the hydraulic slave cylinder...
