So, pulled the head on the mystery motor. Its a 96' 5.9 12 valve out of a dodge 3/4 ton. The cylinders still had the honing hash marks, good sign. Gonna pull the pistons and re ring and roll in a new set of bearings. A quick stone hone to knock the glaze off the cylinder walls and put her...

You only hear them when you slow down and the loose there grip from centrifugal force. Its kinda like having 4 rain sticks. You get some funny looks at the lights.

you can install these tires using the harbor freight tire machine. takes 2 guys on new tires. Used tires are easier. They had them on sale (tire machines) for 40$

I had an aussie in my 44 and it was noisy as hell but never failed. 8.25 lunch box lockers have a tendancy to es plode if you are running anything over a 32" tire.

My plan for the bumper crane is along the line of the Mule bumper crane. For what i'm thinking, picking up big tires, engine blocks, axles, diesel heads and whatever catches my fancy. I use my lincoln hd325 for most of my welding. I like using shield gas but dirty steel is definitely better...

yeah, its at the shop to fire ring the block. I will probably roll in a set a bearings and piston rings while i have it torn apart. I was looking hard a the 4k kit. i might still go that way. I went with the #10 fuel plate from BD. Dan Kizmann up at BD helped me set up the kit. I am a...

Quick update, I am doing a few upgrades on the cummins. Killer dowel pin, fuel plate, head studs, 3k spring kit and 60 lb exhaust springs. Pulled the head off the other day and sending it out to the shop to do a quick valve job and some porting. For 98k on the motor, you can still see the...

Ok, so here's what iv'e got. 88' Ford F350 crew cab single rear wheel 4wd Diesel. It wasnt running when i got it so, i got it cheep. Its running now and has been for about a year. The joy of the IDI diesels. I picked up a 96 5.9 cummins complete, i mean everything, turbo, ac, power...

20$ at walmart for a 10k round pack of the .20 weights

sorry guys, got a little side tracked. Put on some new wheels and tires this weekend. Used my air soft pellet trick to balance them. I will post more about that and pics real soon.

Nice set up, id like to get a ride in that one and compare. They all have the same issue in the rear. Those lower mounts get hung up on everything.

I have a friend at banks, he did some testing on snorkel designs. What he found was that at idle they suffer, when you get up to cruising speed they acctualy add + air pressure by acting like a ram air scoop.

The talk around the campfire was april may ish. The air bumps in the old coil buckets was a nice touch as well. Very clean set up and yeah all bolt on.

So, I was out at Johnson Valley OHV at GoatFest this weekend. I got a chance to ride in the passenger seat of the prototype bolt on Rubicon Express coil over kit JK. Now the basics of this ride are 37" tires on alloy wheels, 4.5 inch of lift on a Radius style long arm kit with 3 link rear...

Wow, what a weekend. I didnt get the brake lines on or the armor so i didnt get my rocker pannels near the rocks but, I will say that damn, for an in expensive kit i was hammering it down boons road and the ride was smooth but in control. It took foot + deep woops like it was cruising the mall...

@ mudbutt I havent been on Naxja in a while. Too much drama on that site. I can pick up some flares, I should be hanging out near Cal and Carol.

nice, i missed goat fest last year because we were expecting a bundle of joy. shes here now so im headed out. Probably lead the bunny run again. Not quite armored up to follow the med build group.

@ Gregb_00xj I like the detours set up and the mount to the body is excelent. I will try and post some pics of the bumpers that i have built that similarly tie in to the nut rail and rear mounts. I agree that you must spread the load over as wide a print as possible. Picking up or replacing...

@ iluv83vettes I had a 75 c3, loved it. Killed me to sell it. Any who, i have not heard of a Tailbone specificaly breaking. I have been on 3 seperate trail rides where a rear tire carrier that is in single sheer have snapped off at the the division line where it stems from the lower bumper...
