Holy tires batman! I bolted up the tires after work today. The old ones where done! I got one out of four that will make a good spare. If anyone needs a big spare or needs 3 Michelin XMLs and some spare 16x8 aluminum wheels let me know. I did a simple alignment check and was able to dial...

The 3m weatherstrip adhesive is a lot stickier than the black bead sealant. I don't know if its worth it though.....

And people give me crap about my Dodge being big!

Its fairly common with the 'wheeling group I run around with. While it does help, its not ultimate. The report from the last deep snow run indicated that it didn't hold as well as most thought it was going to. Dismounting the tire really isn't a problem. The stuff breaks at the bead easy...

Ack....I ordered a lot of stuff today. Dang tires got me more motivated I guess... I have a new grill shell, turn signals, headlight bucket, and grill insert coming. Then I ordered some bronze ampco 18 kingpin bushings. Then I got a few odds and ends from McMaster like some ABS plastic to...

That shop makes me weak in the knee's....

I'm working on it.... I have a few things to do first. -I need to check the alignment to make sure its close. -I'm thinking about using some 3m weatherstrip adhesive on the beads. The dodge doesn't need bead locks really, but having a little extra insurance in the sand and snow when running...

I am going to do something like this on my truck. I just need to figure out the flip up window on the camper side. I'm probably going to have my full size spare standing up against the bed rail just behind the driver. This will probably get in the way of my flip up window so I will need to make...

I love the smell of new tires in the morning.... Excuse the mess.... At least 1-2" taller than the old 325s unmounted. I would suspect with air on a rim they will be just about perfect.... The tire and the tread are MUCH more beefy in person! The tread is also nice and deep at 21/32nds...

My wheels showed up yesterday....tire are suppose to be here today or monday! :drool: Does anyone know how to get the pushrod for the clutch out of the clutch master cylinder? I have been having problems with the bushing system that connects to the pin on the pedal. I made a quick steel bushing...

That stuff looks PERFECT! www.accordionboot.com They have all the size and install information.... Now I just need to find a way to have a window hinged at the TOP in the front of the camper shell to allow the area to be blocked off.... SWEET!

I think making a seal would be the best bet. I think gutting an aluminum rear slider frame to form a lip that would allow the attachment of the new seal AND allow the frame to be in the factory weatherproof rubber seal on the cab of the truck would be the way to go on the 'truck' end. On the...

I know it's not a race truck, but all the diesel heads around here don't seem to be able to make that connection.... Pillar gauges also say ' look in my truck because its pretty modded', which is attention I don't like. And yes, you can still see in the windows really easy. Maybe I should lift...

The pillar is an option for sure. I am hesitant to mount them there because of the 'wanna race' diesel truck scene in the southwest. Pillar gauges generally attract a lot of attention. My most recent thought was to replace the 'information' cluster above the climate controls with a 3 gauge...

I got some new accessories in the mail today..... EGT, fuel pressure, and boost... Now....where to mount these dang things?

I do agree that it is rather complex.... For me it could solve a few issues. -A front mount winch, that would be installed in a fashion that I would like, would be very complex on my dodge. I don't like winches that hang out on big bumpers. I would have to completely replace the forward most...

sorry yes, in the rear ( per the patent ) you would only get double line and half the distance. You do always get double the pull force to the rear however. I can see being able to use the rear winching feature to pull trailers up to my truck or pull things onto the trailer also! Having a...

How would you switch to free spooling? The foers ibex essentially had the winch mounted just behind the rear seat. You could just hit the lever. There are parts from WARN for remote control of that function with a lever, cable, or a small air cylinder. You could also just power out the winch...

While the multi-mount winch is similar in function, I have found it REALLY hard to move the winch front to back while in bad snow, ice, and mud conditions. The dang thing always seem to be on the wrong end :)

Please post up your ideas, thoughts, pictures and info on center mounted winch systems! Here is a link to the Canadian patent of the Vector winch system from the Foers Ibex. http://brevets-patents.ic.gc.ca/opic-cipo/cpd/eng/patent/2307601/summary.html Here is a page with a decent...
