    Fun scenario...bumper choice...

    :victory: I would trade my 04 F250 straight up for the right Power wagon with the original "macho " paint scheme. That truck is why I own trucks:bike_rider: I think for zombies you'd wantmore of a cow catcher to sweep them out of the way:)

    Axle question?

    I pulled the rear axle shafts out of a 04 rubicon tonight b/c of a leaking oil seal. When I grabbed the bearings they seemed to have a lot of play and I could move them on the shaft. Is this nomal? Are the bearings pressed on or just the retainer ring? I think it was run with low gear oil...

    Pop Up Camper Modification for Carrying Motorcycle. Also, warning **GORE PICS**

    The fab work looks great. Is the axle/wheel bearing up for the added weight? Without the bike is there enough tongue weight to tow? You got my wheels turning. I'm picturing gas can holders, cooler, etc. Good work:)

    Ignitions

    I like stock parts on a 4.0. I've never seen any performane gain for the extra money on a 4.0. If your 94 is running the original cap, wires, and coil, I'd just get more stock

    canoe lashing

    What kind of mods have you guys seen or done to add lashing to a canoe. Mine has a molded in plastic center seat that I could ratched strap stuff to but I'm looking for something more custom. Rivited D rings look promising but my boat is all plastic (Mad river adventure)? I'm not sure I'd...

    The "Expedition hat" thread

    I wore this hat last weekend on a poker run. It was 50F and drizzled rain all day. My head was warm and dry. If the greenies ever start using IEDs, I want to be prepared:victory:

    Show me your camping chairs

    I have this one an really like it. I almost bought the telescoping model but convinced my self that it didn't look as durable side by side. This chair is easy to get out of, you don't feel like you ae sitting in a hole when you stand up

    Haggis' Multi-Use Tundra Build

    There is no hope, I like to think I know jeeps, but still couldn't recognise yours as an LJ:snorkel: Maybe you could buy a flare gun to shoot at me. Did you trade the LJ? Your toy will look great with a canoe on the roof. Good luck with the sliders, I'd like a set for my Ford but no one has...
