Man, I wonder how many gallons to the mile that beast gets...

Based on the polish visible on the shock shaft I'd say you're pretty close to spot on with that 3" estimate, and maybe just a tad generous. Given that, 9"-10" of droop would be quite a drop.

Why not get a couple pieces of 3x3, cut the bottom out so you have channel instead of tube (or get it that way), and then you could bevel the sides. It would end up wedge shaped. You could fill up the gap without a somewhat booty-fab looking (no offense) piece of plate, and the bevel would...

I use them. The good: Fairly cheap for that size tire, and if you're running 16.5 rims one of the few games in town as far as tires go. Choices for 16.5s seem to be getting slimmer all the time. These, or some variety, are still pretty accessable via the surplus channel. Rugged tire, as...

My first glance at that pic and I thought it was a wreck and a seriously busted up rider laying there. ::Wow1:

It's been my unfortunate experience to find out that generally the last place on earth you want to take your Ford diesel is to Ford for any serious service. I'm sure they have some good techs, but I don't think there are NEAR enough to staff every Ford garage in business. Chris at Ujoint...

I cant believe the votes on some of those. I see absolutely nothing special about what's been done for the 1st place rig, with what sounds like just a bunch of bolt-on. But they sure knew how to play the patriotism card what with the flag paint job, the "bought American" angle, and the Proud...

Abso-freakin-lutely. I have a couple of these and they are hands down the best thing I've ever found for keeping stuff hot or cold. I've filled with coffee and 36 hrs later still had plenty warm java. I put ice in it one day (about 1/3), didn't put the lid on, and forgot about it. I came...

Here ya go. Please. I'm itchin to buy this so bad it's stupid. A spiked cow-catcher for a front bumper and some bladed knee cappers on the wheels and I'd be PRAYING for the Zombie Apoc. :) [/URL][/IMG]

Man, if I figured I'd survive the spousal thrashing I'd fly out and drive that old Ford home. Love those old vans. So fugly they're awesome.

Not quite how it's looking at the moment, but pretty much the way it'll look when it's done. [/URL][/IMG] The 4BT before it was converted to water cooled to air cooled. [/URL][/IMG]

Things that make you go hmmm, eh?

I'll see what I can find

I considered doing that from the get go but decided against it, obviously. I wanted this thing on the road so didn't want to use it as my training platform. I've got some other projects coming up behind this one that aren't so pressing so I might use them to get my feet wet on gear swaps. I...

I went with 4.88s, and it's still a bit of a slug though not as bad. Shoot, the thing weighs 10.5k with nothing much in it and the wheel/tire combo is about 200 lbs each. I'm not cuttin the thing any slack. I probably could have went with 5.13s but I was worried my highway rpms would start...

What do you think of the Bullydog tuner? Their website is about as useful as tits on a boar hog when it comes to info about the actual performance gains. Worth the money or no? IYO of course.

You've heard me mention (more than once I'm sure) how I cant seem to catch a break on anything I do on this build right? So I've been trying to get front/rear gears and lockers done for a few months now. Did the rear first to make sure the gear choice was going to fly before doing the front...

LGS said its running about 3-4 months these days. We'll see. No big deal actually. I'm still waiting on my receivers to get back from the engravers anyway, and one of them still needs to have an upper sorted out. I sent off 3. Two will be 9mms because ammo is cheap and I can shoot them at...

Hypermax ordered, Boom! Should ship on monday. Woot n such. And the bonus. I started the paperwork today for a couple cans for my SBRs, soes I dont go deef when bustin caps on them zombies when they get here. And they're comin. They're comin....

Come on man. Have you SEEN the condition of the parking lots at the malls these days? You can't be Rollin stock there and expect to come away unscarred. ;)
