    2014 Ford E-350 12ft SRW Box Truck

    Been moving and working on the new house. Haven't had time to work on the box truck that much. Big things are in the works tho. Added a SmartPlug, and future Starlink outlet: I built DIY house batteries. They are 4, 280ah LiFePO4 batteries = 1120ah of pure awesomeness.

    My first Jeep, a 1983 CJ7!

    After first install it did. Now that it has done some self learning, it doesn't. The only thing it that is different than a new fuel injected car is that you have to turn the key to the "on" position and wait for the system to turn on, then you can start it. That takes about 3 seconds. So, I...

    My first Jeep, a 1983 CJ7!

    Holley Sniper EFI installed. I only have a few miles on it, but I'm already a believer. Holy crap, it idles so smoothly and drives like anything else that's a standard, not rough or anything like it was. It feels like a different vehicle now. INSANE. Throttle body: In tank fuel pump...

    Ford 7.3L Godzilla Swap!

    Thanks everyone. It will be 2 weeks before I can even see the donor in person. Right now, I'm just doing research, and reaching out to 5 star tuning about my tuning options. While I have the motor out, I would like to add heads and a cam. I will be doing a LOT of research before I touch any...

    Ford 7.3L Godzilla Swap!

    Also, dealing with RSC.... If the rear axle has individual wheel speed sensors (current axle has none), not that big of a deal. I am installing a Sterling axle with the e-locker anyway.

    Went to the dump and the box truck almost finished out, is just under 7k. I'm thinking finished in the 8k range, full of water / gear. Is that still light enough for the 5.4 progressive springs?

    My first Jeep, a 1983 CJ7!

    Holley Sniper EFI is on the way. New tank installed that will have to come back out for the EFI setup lol.. Installed new tail lights, front turn signals, and side amber lights: New tires: I'm fighting with tuning, and I think I have a stuck lifter. I pulled the valve cover and all...

    Jaleo 2- Building a 2012 E-350 4x4-Third time is the charm

    Yellowstone was busy? I went the week before Thanksgiving and there were maybe 2-3 other people camping there. Yellowstone is nice, but you're right, the Tetons are better. The Badlands was the coolest. Devil's Tower is up there too.

    My first Jeep, a 1983 CJ7!

    I've been looking for one. I might order the MR 252 Manual. I ordered new tail lights. front turn signals, sending unit, and gas tank. I pulled the tank, which was new before it sat for 10 years. But now, the bottom was covered in rust. Sending unit is a good example what was in the tank...

    My first Jeep, a 1983 CJ7!

    Thanks! I don't plan on getting too crazy. I just wanna drive it. Nice Jeep! I am keeping everything I can. And try to make it OEM looking as possible. My father in law had a guy install a new engine. And a new gas tank. As I'm working on this thing, I'm finding a lot of shortcuts that were...
