Thanks for the info. Time to start looking for a new one. :)

First, nice Tiger! As for Rivet-Nuts, I haven't used them on a Tiger but I have used them on other projects. The "standard" ones, you will want to be using in metal. For a fiberglass or plastic application, you will want to use the "slotted" ones as they spread out over a larger area and will...

Did you repaint the upper part of the Jeep? Liking the two tone colors over the all black. BTW, if you hadn't seen, I sold our Cherokee last weekend. :(

All of the 6.2/6.5 should have the HB replaced with a Fluidamper version, period. That is the #1 issue with these engines. If the outer ring only slips a little, you'll likely find cracked main cap webs but when it gets more slippage, a cracked crank is 100% guaranteed. When I had my M1010...

Cherokee is SOLD. First person to look at it. Thanks for everyones comments and interest. Sad day... it will be missed.

I would highly recommend you do a LOT more research on soda blasting. Since I am doing a full, strip to bare metal build, I researched it as I was going to buy one of those Eastwood kits. As I got onto some very good paint forums, I have found that a large percentage of auto paint companies...

I picked up a set of 5 with worn out tires about a year ago for $350. Figure even at $300 for a set of 4, that's only $75 per wheel. Cheap!

Highly suggest you get registered and post over on WanderTheWest.com as they are a big FWC resource and lots of people looking for FWCs. BTW, any pics on what t-stat you used in the camper? I am looking to replace my manual one and looking for ideas. Good luck on your sale.

Great setup. After my most recent trip and my bad knee swelling up to softball size, from using the step points I have for my camper, I need to come up with something like this, with a hand rail to help get in and out. Thanks for the pics and info.

Nice! Good score. Having the donor makes this much easier... well as easy as it's going to get. :D

Yes, I was assuming that the camper would be on all the time. Looking at his thread in the Pop Up Camper area, it sounds like it would be. Agreed, for a true dual use truck (loaded/unloaded) airbags are really the only method that is going to give you a nice ride either way. I actually did...

Thanks for all the positive comments guys. It is well sorted and well care for. It has been a very tough decision to let this go as this is the second longest vehicle I have owned (6 years as of tomorrow, our Mazda3 is the longest owned by 3 days). I hope someone on ExPo ends up with it but I...

Honestly, get your camper and load it up as you would for a trip. Get it weighed (front and rear axle weight) and then have spring made front and rear. This is what I did with National Spring, they built front and rear ones to match my actual load. I had added just prior to that, a set of...

They do make a 24" version but for what I need (i.e. trimming branches that would seriously snag the FWC), this should work great. As for larger timber, see back to having a tow strap. I could use this to make a few relief cuts and then pull/break the tree in half and pull the pieces out of...

Being in the process of a frame off build on my '68 C10 truck, let me add my .02 worth. First why do you need it on a rotisserie? Sure it makes working on the bottom of the body easier but what are your goals for this rig? Are you repairing major rust issues, building a show truck or just a...

Owning a '97 Ram Club Cab, Long Bed with a FWC pop up, you are not going to get into places that a multi link suspension is truly going to be needed. I just got back from my first real trip since having my National Spring installed. They got rid of the huge rear block and have leafs that are...

Nice report and pictures. Sounds like you kept a level head and actually thought about the situation and worked through a solution. So uncommon any more. So many people out there would have gone with the "sky is falling" mentality. I would suggest you find a place to store a tow strap all...

Nice meeting you too. It was kind of weird at first. I thought you might be a ranger pulling up then you started talking about the Calzona trip and I had a moment of pause until my brain kicked in. LOL

Glad you guys made it to the end. Happy New Year to ya!
