    Red October Build

    i used the link you gave me i was hoping to get more done today in the amount of time that i had, but oh well. lenses have been cleared: i pulled the center console out and pulled the shifter and cupholder rings to paint them: and then i cut the holes in my dash for the switches. i...

    Red October Build

    hellas are here! disassembly: prepped for night shades: tinting is finished. just waiting for them to cure up all the way and then clear will go on and be polished. one REALLY nice thing about putting nightshades over glass lenses like both of these sets of Hella's is that if i ever...

    Hankook MT #1...BFG MT KM2 8th place?

    there is more to the 'bead ridge' than people think. from experience with the MT/R's and the KM2's, they have an exceptionally large safety bead. however i cannot compare them to others as i have not tested them. i can say though, that my 37x12.50x17D MT/R Kevlars worked awesome at 2PSI

    Hankook MT #1...BFG MT KM2 8th place?

    just so people have reference, MT/R on the Goodyears doesnt mean mud terrain, it means Maximum Traction/Reinforced. they're not mud tires. MT/R K's MT/R's KM2's General Grabbers the list goes on and on, these are not mud tires. they're rock and baja

    started to work on the bracket today. i first started out with my 3/16s angle iron and marked it for cutting once i cut it to 32" i rounded the edges. really not neccisary at all but i wanted to give it a finished look along with ridding it of edges for any possible work in the engine bay. i...

    yeah, ive seen that. i like the concept but ive got a total of 20 dollars invested into this so far with a budget of around $120 bucks. that light alone is over $1000 and not counting the bracket

    8.8 is the ford 8.8 axle. It's slightly larger than a Dana 44. The sterling 10.25 is the equivalent of a Dana 70, and a sterling 10.5 is that of a Dana 80/GM 14 bolt

    Fullsize Ford F250 Overlanding Camper project

    are you worried at all about excessive debris or water getting to your compressor? in the jeep world we always mounted the compressor under the hood. i know with the PSD your engine bay is pretty cramped - just thinking. clean install though! looks great. ive been debating between the AT kit...

    a little more utilitarian: got to work today on my "behind the grille" lights that i want to make. i started out with my old set of fog lights from my Jeep: i did this bit of my mod 2 years ago for my wrangler, converting the fogs to driving lights this shield cap forced none of the...

    Red October Build

    lets just say the nightshades didnt work, but its okay - i fixed it anyway. and my grille came in. now this is a lead up of something utilitarian. in order to keep with my desires of a clean profile and not having anything be excessive or brawny, i wanted to mount a set of lights behind the...

    F150 trucks

    37x12.50x17s are a little bit easier to find than the 15s, but slightly more expensive. if you're looking for a tire that is decently easy to find, use a 37x12.50x16.5. they have no safety bead which requires the use of a double beadlock like a hummer H1 wheel, but they're a dime a dozen and cheap.
