Latest shenanigans. Doing the job with the wrong tool. This was a tight climb because of the tree on the driver's side. Hidden Falls Adventure Park, Texas.

Another trip to Hidden Falls Off-road park. This time I went with my daughter and she drove a little bit. I guess I'm not the best teacher.

Thanks for updating. Do you have any part number or seller link that you could help somebody looking for this info?

Some info I've collected on springs over time. I was looking for 4x4 vans but some info may be useful to you. MOOG coil springs. Leaf Springs

I consider it too, but they are too heavy, and large (probably about 25 gl. each). They are rated for 3600psi. Air compressors go to 150 psi. I have an old 10 Gal. compressor that I'll repurpose the tank and install using the CNG tanks brackets.

Well, This is it. I'm done with the CNG tanks. After almost two years of having the possibility of running on gasoline or Compressed Natural Gas, I may have only used CNG a grand total of 6 times, and more than half of the times it was by getting out of my way to find a station. It was a good...

Hopefully, this is the end of the transmission saga. The transmission was fine, torque converter was shot. The genius that scammed me in UTAH with the rebuild used a high stall torque converter. Got an Original Rebuild from Ford. Hopefully, I'm set for a little bit. The adapter was broken too...

*** UPDATE*** Took the transmission to a trusted shop and they opened it and checked. Tranny is OK. The metal shavings most likely came from the Torque Converter. TC that was the wrong one with the high stall.

I removed the transmission cover to replace the temps sensor and I found this on the magnet. some pieces the size of a small grain of rice. Transmission is out and back to a re-builder I can trust. Am I over-reacting? The torque converter that was installed is a Recon FM69. Stall torque 1900 to...

After Glaciers, we went to Yellowstone. I love this old entrance. Being at the right place, at the right time. On the "gadget" side. Two great additions. Starlink and an Airfyer. Starlink allowed us to be in touch for work. Placed against the inside wall and with the connection on the...

Great Sumer. I joined the SORAC group on the Alpine Loop for a week. After that, went to Moab by myself, and then I picked up my wife at the airport in Kalispell, MO. From there we did Glaciers Nat'l Park, Yellowstone, Great Tetons, Rocky Mountains, ... About six weeks of exploring some of the...

It was easy. Removed the airbag and was able to drill a hole and bolt the arm rest to the seat structure. Filled the airbag room with foam.

I have 2005 Audi A4 S-line front seats. I loved them. Had to fabricate some extension for the guides, but I bolted them to the van bases. Passenger side on a swivel. Arm rest is from Amazon. Installed driver on passenger side so controls are on the inside making it easy to operate while inside...

Another one bites the dust. Less than one year old, the Skyjacker shock absorber blew up. They have a lifetime warranty but they need to be inspected by an agent and also they have to match the application, yadah, yadah,... I'm not going to waste my time. I pace an order to Bilstein B6 for...
