    Diesel or Gas?

    ^^^ I'm starting to think wildlife is so accustomed to our noise that half the time they don't pay attention to it anymore. We've somehow "snuck up" on countless deer and elk with our noisyass 7.3. Hell I ended up face to face with a blackbear riding my dirt bike up a single track a few summers...

    Has anyone built/modified their own high top?

    Just looked real quick on discount van & truck. Cheapest route I could find, you can get a 24" bubble top for an eb no liner, with a standard flange shipped to your residence for 3800. I know it's still more than $100, but it would save you a lot of messy time working over a used top and allow...

    Help Finding Full Float Axle for 03 E350?

    I found mine in a 2005 f250 with a 6.8 on car-parts.com. I just did a search for 05-07 ford f350's. Then after finding the gear ratio coupled with a lsd I wanted I called the yard and verified. They were able to send me a picture of the vin tag. I confirmed the tag matched what they said it was...

    Help Finding Full Float Axle for 03 E350?

    ^^^ he states right in the add for the kit you're referencing that they use the 05-07 10.5 Sterling axles. I about had an 05 Sterling axle in my 03 yesterday but right before we started getting it ready to put in, we realized that the 16" wheels I have wont clear the calipers. So I got to put...

    any honda owners in these parts that take their rigs offroad?

    weve only had it out once and surprisingly its illegal to use in quite a few places here. so we were really limited on where we could go test it out. so theres not many pix or vids yet. we need to do some mods to tracks to sustain the weight of the car as they are designed for a 2k kei truck or...

    Weight Distribution in the snow

    ^^^ agree with above. had my van on a scale the other day weighing each axle. rear was 600lbs heavier than front and mine is 4wd. same questions though, what tires and open or lsd diff? ^^^ that sounds like a counterweight that would increase the odds of the back trying to rotate up front when...

    any honda owners in these parts that take their rigs offroad?

    ^^^ i think people would want to hear a trip about those adventures, but theres not much honda love on this site, so i wouldnt focus on that aspect. your pix are upside down, so hard to tell what you got going on with the car. are you using a roof top bag and no rack for your gear? either way...

    The importance of a rear dust light in the southwest.

    ^^^ cheap enough too. Good find. Something like that would be good for dust storms and thick fog on the highway too. Not to mention our wonderful inversions.

    Fold out side windows for more space

    ^^^ that's slick! Like ccv's early designs? Did you ever see one of those steps? There weren't any at his place when I stopped by. I love that option. Would love the open air feel of that design. If they swung down and made a platform the rear windows would be like bay windows on a house and...

    Winter tire test

    By race rubber I meant off-road for rallyx. Sorry I didn't clarify. Sounds like on pavement hasn't changed in the 4 seasons I haven't participated. I typically pick up takeoffs from a local ************ who travels to the bigger events around the nw. still have a stack of 140 treadwear toyos ( which...

    Winter tire test

    That's great info, ty! What truck are you running them on? In your honest opinion are they a better tire than the Toyo or brudgestone? Not drive ability wise but durability wise. I'm pretty rough on tires. Always on the lookout for a good alternative for race rubber. I'll go check them out...
