    I mount my Hi-lift jack to the roof rack, I disassemble it and keep the ratchet and base plate tethered in the back of the car, but the hi lift stair I keep on the roof rack, very convenient To make usage of the Hi lift safer I welded a snug fit U shape metal bar the jack fits into, this way...

    Spare Gas Carrying Ideas?

    In the photo the auxilary tank is not inside the frame rail, so it gives about 4 inches of space for the driveshaft which is tight, but more than enough, I have 4 link rear suspension with coil springs so there is very little side to side movement of the driveshaft, almost less than an inch from...

    I'm too lazy to wear safety glasses and I admit it, it's a real shame. But after reading this, after work today I'm going to go and pick some heavy duty glasses that fit well and are comfortable, and some earprotectors aswell. I like to use a face mask shield when I use a cut off wheel though,

    My brake shoes were finished, so I ordered at rockauto brake shoe kit, complete hold down and spring kit and new wheel cylinders, i already replaced both wheel bearings and wheel seals, so this will be like a new axle after this rebuild, lol :-)
