Articulation photos! [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] No issues with clearance on the rear end. It looks stuffed back there, which it is, but there's quite a bit more room up in the wheel well. It just doesn't look that way because of the way the opening is cut. The front is a...

What did you do with the old marker lights you replaced with the vents? The ones you modded with the little grills. Dibs iffen you wanna sell!

The biggest problem with the 6.0, and really any of the "modern" diesels, isn't the reliability. In the case of the 6.0 that can be addressed with enough cash, but the cost of repair is ridonculous. Bulletproofing a a 6.0 thoroughly and the right way is not cheap by any stretch and when...

On your air bags: I doubt it. It sounds like you have an automatic system that adds and releases depending on load, which changes the ride height, which is what most of these systems monitor in order to determine when to add or release. That being the case they usually have a delay built in...

How are these substantially different from the North Shore racks?

My experience with slush boxes..... Driving down the road fat dumb and happy...VrrrrrROOOOOM!! Sound of engine high revving because the tranny decided to suddenly fly south and essentially disconnect itself from the drivetrain. IOW when they finally decide to go they tend to go with little...

I'm not talking about tossing a live line into the pool and taking chances. That wouldn't be....prudent. I'm talking those hollywood scenes where someone dumps a radio or something in the hot tub and the occupants all do the twist while bursting into flames. Yes there's a hot line, and a...

Drum brakes start to fall down when they see heavier use. Everything is encased inside that steel drum with no where for the heat to go. In standard use they're probably better at braking than a standard disk system. But disks hold up better under heavier use because they can shed the heat...

Mr you sound just fine to me. If you want a taste of world class whiney like a spoiled teenage prom princess level whiney-ness, you should head over to my thread. I'm surprised anyone hung around to read it. Watching the original build, and now this one, makes it realllly difficult to not add...

I went through all this braking business years back on a Jeep I built. Factory booster and all that. First it was 33" tires and it was "ok". Then 37" tires it was not so ok. So called high performance pads and calipers and rotors and all that usual noise. Dual diaphragm booster, blah blah...

Speaking of sunny florida. Hows the Tampa area for puttin down roots? It could happen! :)

I don't even keep track except at tax time. Otherwise I delete that bit of info from my head, or I'd be crying in my beer during every "project". I learned a long time ago I either want to do something, or I don't. If you run a cost analysis on things like this it is almost NEVER a winning...

If $17K buys that I'll put mine up for $30K and and have it sold by tomorrow(inmymind)! And I love the way he glosses right past the fact that the front drivers corner of the box is smashed all to bejeezus by saying "doesn't affect anything". Good grief. Rates right up there with guys that...

What material did you print your part from? Is the part solid or skeletal? From the pic it looks solid. Print time?

Fun? Ohhhhhh! That's the word I've been (not)looking for, fun! ;/

About time for a bit of updating I think. The big beastie seems to be running pretty good. I had low boost issues right after the turbo install but it seems to have worked itself out and leveled off. I hit 10 psi once really gettin on the bad boy uphill, so I seem to be right about where...

Electricity loves path of least resistance. Make sure your welder has a good ground, as close as practical to your work, and have at it. You ever see those movies where someone dies because some baddie tosses something electrical like a radio or blow drier into the bath tub/swimming...

Yes n No. :)

My mother had a Shi Tzu that would have been all up in Buick's grill. Had the worst case of Little Dog syndrome I've ever seen. The bigger the dog the bigger piece he wanted. I'm surprised that little fool never got himself eaten. We used to have a body shop and the shop dog was a beast of...

That's an easy answer. You did. :)
