I've been using combinations of action packers, milk crates, 5 gallon buckets and smaller Jobox's for years. Keep them in place with a semi trailer 'load bar' that I cut down to size. I mostly stick to dirt roads (not much wheelin') so they stay in place pretty well. If I'm traveling to...

Yep and yep :cool:

The nice part about rusty trucks is you won't feel nearly as bad when they get scratched/dented/beat up off road :D I'd use the 4x4. Yeah, I guess you could convert the other pickup to 4WD but I'd rather spend time outdoors not in a garage ymmv.

Man, I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your friend :( That's a pretty clean IDI!

Big fan as well. Good stuff :cool:

I like them.. Certainly one of the most affordable diesel pickups as far as cost of ownership and maintenance goes. The biggest major issue with the 7.3's is cylinder wall cavitation/erosion. Over time they can/will develop pin holes in the cylinder wall if the proper coolant hasn't been used...

And then it snowed... I swear it was 90º less than a week ago. Gotta love Utah weather :Wow1::bike_rider:

Great pics and thanks for sharing--that's quite an adventure! Glad to see the camper is working out for you guys. Looking forward to more :cool:

Here's a pic of the sensor location (hopefully your engine is cleaner than mine! lol). I'm holding the old sensor and sorta pointing at the new one. I'm using a $12 Equus gauge that I bought from auto zone six years ago and it's still working great. Simple install and it came with an...

Looks like good times. Love the updates thanks for sharing :cool:

Assuming it's the factory gauge.. replace it with an aftermarket unit as soon as you can. The fitting is on the front of the driver side head just in front of the valve cover and 1/4 npt if I remember right. The factory temp gauges in our trucks are notoriously unreliable and inaccurate. X2...

Very nice and great pics! The scenery up there is incredible :cool: I tried to reach Goose lake once several years ago.. Towards the end of July and there was still too much snow--didn't even get close :Wow1:

Very cool :cool: I LOVED our 98 CR-V. It was bullet proof.

I'd look into upgrading the radiator. If it has a single row oftentimes you can drop in a dual row (oem style replacement) with little modification. Depending on the age/mileage it may be due for a new one anyway.
