Thanks guys!
We had a little speed bump in our weekend on Saturday. We went down to Olympia to visit some friends for the day and decided to go for a little family friendly hike. We parked at the Woodard Bay Trailhead and set out on our adventure. When we were walking back I was looking at my...
Gallaher Head Lake Camping trip
We went on a camping adventure and easy wheeling trip this last weekend. It is the first of the season and it turned out to be perfect weather, not too hot or cold and no rain! We headed over on Friday night and found a place to camp up above hyw 930 outside of...
I am on my 2nd set from Feltz and I think they are the best dealer to got through. They have the best prices and shipping is surprisingly cheap. I have only run the MTRs but last I talked to Randy he said they are getting hard to find. The BFGs are more common now so I will get them next. I have...
I have noticed that things are starting to get a little worn out since the D60 swap, so I made a holder for my phone so I could get some video of the suspension and drive lines to see how things are functioning under the truck. They are not very exciting but can be really good for people...
Updates... Finally
It has been some time since I have had anything worth posting on the truck front, but I have recently bought a tool, fixed some things, and taken the fam camping.
I have been on the lookout for a JD2 tube bender for over a year now and have been very close to buying one...
Hey guys, thanks for the kind words! I have been absent from the forum for a bit but the truck has not been siting idle. Not too much to report on the mods and improvements front but I just moved to a new house and the old battleship was a work horse that just wouldn't quit! I ran about 6 loads...
Looks good! I plan on building a bumper for my truck but knowing I can hide the winch in the stock one means my custom one can be pretty low profile and still fit the recovery equipment.
Thanks for the positive feedback man, I hoped that this thread would provide a good resource and place for ideas for other people so it is nice to hear that it has.
I took the kids out exploring last weekend to see how far I could make it up FS-18 before the snow got too deep. Turns out it was...
I have always built my cars and trucks with purpose and out of the box thinking. My F250 has been the best example of that yet. I though long and hard about what kind of truck I wanted, and when I finally decided on a crew cab, short bed, manual, diesel it left me with only one factory option I...
Thank you! I grew up a die hard Chevy fan, but over the years I have come to appreciate different cars and trucks for their unique attributes. The 10 year old me would never in a million years believe I would be driving and loving a Ford truck as much as I do!
Truck related
I forgot to post up some of the things I did to the truck before we headed out. I wanted to wire up the driving lights separate from the head lights so I could use the brights without them on. Previously I had taken the lazy route and just used the high beams to activate the relay...
Part 2
On the 22nd we headed up to Breckenridge where we planned to stay through the 26th. The drive was beautiful as always and road conditions were fine all the way to town. The next morning we woke up to 10" of fresh powder to play in!
The kids had a blast and we made a pretty nice...
Christmas Colorado Road Trip
I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years! Over the last couple months I had been gearing up for a road trip to Colorado with the family to see my grandparents. I was born there and moved out here to Washington in 1990 when my dad got a job that required...
Yeah the rectangular lights are LED but the 7" round ones are bi-xenon projectors. I have about $450 into mine and it was not that hard to do. Considering the other options it was the best bang for the buck for sure.
Sliders are definitely first on the list and they should be a bit easier as...
A few more updates as the countdown to roadtrip continues. I have been looking for a canopy for the last several months and I never anticipated how difficult it would be to find one for these old square bed trucks. They are few and far between and the ones I found were almost all for 8' beds. I...
