When you mentioned storage for your camera's, do you mean packed away until you arrive at your destination or for quick access?

Both actually. Quick access and secure storage. Chris has some cool ideas he is working on for quick access.

Hey Scott,

Very impressive truck with a lot of toys:26_7_2: . Just wondering why you are still using your stock upper control arms instead of uniball type (TC, Camburg).\

Noise... Though the new DR control arms are major drool factor and are supposed to be quiet too.

Noise...

My Camburgs get rather squeaky from time to time, but Demello suggested a shot of WD40. Seems to do the trick & make them silent again!

Try "green grease".

www.greengrease.net

This stuff is great. Nothing squeaks...not sure yet what the reapplication time will be, but it's more durable than Superlube.

This is a really excellent thread.
Thanks

This thread has been quite educational.
Although, Scott, with all the additions to your Taco DC I think it is getting close to time for the Dana 60 axles.
Just kidding!

Greengrease is good stuff and have used it until I found Militec grease. I found it worked best here in the Southwest for me because it does not attract dust also it does not wash out to easily when in the water. I also use their grease and oils for all my weapons and I put them through hell when on the job.

Can be purchused here

would you happen to have the dimensions of the trooper tank?

 

[Scott Brady]

31" wide
10.5" tall
~23" long



One of the best mods I have done to my truck. Simple, easy to do (1 day) and a 600+ mile range

Scott you wouldn't happen to have a write-up or a link an how to plumb in a aux tank would you?

 

[Scott Brady]

I left it out purposefully. I was concerned about the liability associated with the plumbing/fuel.

send me an email and I will shoot you the pictures.

You can also look over at www.ih8mud.com under the 80's section.
Kevin, aka Boston Mangler, has a very well written write-up for the 80 series. And the install is very applicable to other vehicles. Just FYI.

thanks!
sadly it will only get me a 350 mile range. it will be a direct replacement for the gas tank that was claimed at AZ rocks.
i will be taking some measurements and see if i can get it to fit in front of the rear axle, slightly sunk into the bed of a new flatbed that is in the works
