Thank you! :wings:

Got Some New Shoes! Hey folks! After lusting after some sort of mud terrain for years and years, I'm happy to say I finally own a set! I wanted Mud Grapplers, but I also wanted to be able to drive more than 20 minutes without getting a headache from the roar. I decided on some 37x13.50 Cooper...

Thanks guys, sincerely. Been quite a project over the last couple years but this old rig is coming together really well. My economy has actually been pretty good, when I can discipline myself to not just stand on the throttle everywhere I go. It's got so much power it's just stupid. When I...

Got Boost?? Hey folks! I'm very excited to say the old 12 valve is now compound turbo charged, and oh my lordy, this thing runs HARD. I've had the truck for about 2 months now, after the install, and I'll be honest, I had some issues at first. Chief issue was that the factory intercooler...

Thanks. Nope I've never had a chance to get it on a dyno. The guy that rebuilt the engine swears it should make around 450 HP, which sounds pretty realistic. It's actually tuned pretty conservatively, I love old school mechanical diesels but I hate the coal rolling craze so I try to keep it kind...

Hey friends! It's been an extremely busy past several months. I've been pretty jammed up moving around for work and getting the girlfriend settled into her new job and apartment. Had to put a lot of projects on hold for a while. But stuff is still pressing on! I'll try to do this in order...

Cool! I follow the Motor Trend shows closely and it was cool to see this old hulk in the running this year. I saw the white single cab Dodge you were working on got featured in FourWheeler, glad to see the end of that project! Congrats! Now go throw some more beautiful beads down on the scout!

A Few Little Updates... I managed to grab a few pictures from my phone while I'm at work, so here's what I have: Kaity bought me a set of Rigids Dually floods for our anneversary this year, WAY better than the Autozone junk I had up there. And speaking of LEDs, I had some cheepy LED strips...

Hey gang! So I haven't been on in a LONG time, as you can tell. Sorry about that! I graduated in May and just recently finished moving for my new job so I haven't had much time to do anything. I dare say the truck is nearing completion. Really I spent more time this summer camping and...

So ************ that you airborne a King Ranch haha! This is a good looking build man keep it up! Careful with those track bar bolts... I don't know about Fords but I had a crappy Fabtech track bar bracket partially break of the frame on my Dodge 2500 when I hit an expansion joint doing about 60 MPH...

...Glad to see I'm not the only one nuts enough to take a ECLB Cummins up technical terrain haha! Good stuff as always Larry. Good numbers on the Polar Bear!

REALLY nice job on the repower Larry! You're Chevy threads are among the coolests on ExPo. That cam lope does sound pretty neat haha! Can't wait to see it with all the bugs worked out. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the replies. I have one of those magnetic oil pan heaters, I suppose I could stick that to the tranny and see what happens? I had wondered something like that, maybe the fluid was so thick it was making the computer think something was wrong? I must admit some of the sensors and...

Hey guys I could really use some help. I have scoured every forum I can think of and nobody seems to have any ideas on this. My brother drives a 2010 Tacoma with about 110K miles on it. He lives in Laramie, WY and it has been VERY cold lately. Last week he was trying to start it one morning and...

...bump for the day... I've been doing some research and I think I'll have to fabricate a new crossmember but otherwise I'm pretty sure I'll buy a skyjacker 10* clocking ring. Anybody have anything to offer? Ease of install? Effect on front driveshaft?
