    That's really cool! Very awesome to see effort still being put into these old [reliable/simple/cool] 12V motors to keep them running better and cleaner at the same time. Power Driven Diesel came out with their own line of "PowerJet" injectors for VE and P-pump 12V's, and although there aren't...

    Heck yeah man, you got this! I also have a Steed Speed exhaust manifold, and couldn't agree more with what you said about it. I have a PDD 362sxe and the turbo has no issue keeping it happily fed with exhuast at 1300 or 2100rpm, and transient response is fantastic and linear (no crazy...

    1991 Dodge W250 Overland Tourer Build and Adventures

    Kinda, in two ways: 1) my day job is a suspension/frame/materials engineer for a MTB company, and 2) I design and fabricate parts for every one of my vehicles.. but primarily my Dodge, and I can't help but invest engineering time and analysis in every single part that I make (and re-make). I...

    Awesome!! I'm pretty familiar with Van Isle, would love to live there one day. I went to UVic for mechanical engineering, and during that time spent many weekends in Cobble Hill and Duncan wrenching on friends' truck/car projects. 4 of my 6 vehicles were bought on the island, and I drove them...

    You had me at 1st gen with a logger box, and then I noticed you're local-ish! You said "headed south towards Ladysmith"..are you Nanaimo area, or further up island? Can't wait to see more updates or even just info on how this thing evolves!

    Hammers is WILD. My friend and I were two of those anonymous bystanders that ended up helping countless times from Sunday night thru Thursday night; my friend (in the Crawl mag hoodie) is leaning over into the driver's window in this pic. We started getting recognized as "those two Canadians...

    1998.5 Dodge Ram CTD - Sally

    Another thing that has been on The List since going to 40's, and even going to 37's.. was a spare tire hold-down mount. A Trail Gear universal weld-on kit with 1" threaded rod and handle was a good starting point. Thinking about it for a while.. I wanted something that could be easily...

    1998.5 Dodge Ram CTD - Sally

    The final mods needed to get the Atlas setup running, were new driveshafts. The Atlas inputs and output were about 2" towards the front of the truck, meaning the rear driveshaft needed to "get longer" and front shaft (and spare front) needed to get shorter. Luckily in the process of going from...

    Here is the large blockoff plate screwed into the floor, partially under the carpet... And here is the modified base tube to relocate the shifters, all things considered the working angles of the Atlas shift rods/heims worked out totally fine still.. Here are the OEM shift knobs threaded...

    1998.5 Dodge Ram CTD - Sally

    I also wanted to lengthen the shift levers, 1) to give a little bit more throw to the shift knob, and 2) to get the heights of the left and right knobs closer together. I also used this as an opportunity to weld on the M12 thread from the factory tcase shift lever, so I could use the factory...
