Hello all. It's been a while since I've posted, and I really don't have much to add, and while I know this isn't the place to make a big posting of it I wanted to let you all know I've decided to sell my Trac. I will miss you all tremendously, but I appreciate all the knowledge, input and...

Monroe Load Adjusting and an Add A Leaf is what I've been running for almost 2 years. Considerably higher than stock (4" maybe). For the future I'm going to remove the load adjusters and go with bilsteins to match the front. Will ride much harder with load adjusters but it will kill the sag and...

Haha I was really trying to figure out what wire you meant. I know I saw it in the instructions after. Teaches me not to triple check Sent from my iPhone using Forum Runner

If you do the body lift don't forget to check all binding spots post lift. I missed that the AC hose was too close to the belts and it only took about 25 seconds to cut through it. 400 bucks later... Lol. There is a picture of what I'm talking about in my Registry. Good luck. Sent from my...

Hmm didn't see the attached picture until I got on my computer. Sorry about that. Sent from my iPhone using Forum Runner

You'll need a relay between the battery and your switch. Most aftermarket lights come with one, I'm surprised your light bar didn't. My aftermarket fogs are attached to a relay then the battery and it's been great. Sent from my iPhone using Forum Runner

Hugh, I didn't know you had a baby! Congrats man! Definitely worth it to have that time. Can't blame you for that :) Sent from my iPhone using Forum Runner

Well bumper laws are just so you don't monster truck someones civic anyway ;) Glad to see you underway Jerry. It's looking awesome. Can't wait to see its finished glory.

Well damn. I was gonna wait. I was gonna put it off. Now I'll have to buy one. Especially since it's not much of a drive from my parents house to pick it up. Ugh. Looks fantastic man :) Sent from my iPhone using Forum Runner

Alright folks. Anyone got any idea what part # these little *******s are? I broke two of them off the tonneau cover that came with my trac. No idea what brand, the tarp has "Authentic Ford" on it but that's it. I am hoping I don't have to buy a new tonneau cover just because two of these things...

Dang I shoulda thought of that. Ah well Sent from my iPhone using Forum Runner

Almost burned out the motor in the drill I was using. It's from 1970s that I pulled out of my grandads garage lol. Guess I need a newer drill. Sent from my iPhone using Forum Runner

It definitely works. I used 4.5" metal grade bits (15/32) to start but they are about 1/8" too short so bought one of the super long bits lol. Like 18" long. Whatever it worked. Its on there like a beast. Thread locker and some lock nuts to round it out. It'll never move again and would be...

Came up with the idea that I'm going to drill a hole in the top of the frame rail and get some 6" long grade 8 bolts and run them all the way to the top and use a nut and loctite. Then I can really torque it down and never worry again.

Dang man! That looks good. I'm definitely doing that when it warms up. Thanks for the inspiration. Got my skid plate today! The self-tapping screws are really stupid. One of them is stripped out I'll need to go get a bigger size probably, but it would probably be fine I can hang all 200lbs...

Dang man that looks great. I like the bottom of the door as well now that I see it. Did you herculine the sill of the rocker inside too? So if you open the door how far up did you go? I'd like to see how far up you went on the back. I assume you sanded the metal first. Any other prep work? I...

The one thing I'll need to decide on is if the sliders are gonna sit too close to the tires. 78" might be just a bit too long. I'm going to cut a 2x this weekend and throw it up to see how close it is. I'm concerned under extreme flex it might rub. Pretty messed up man, someone trying to steal...

Dang man. That's not cool. I'm sorry to hear that. Knowing you, you'll come out on top though, and if there is something I can do to help you out ask away. If I lived closer I'd say I'd help you with your trac if you taught me to weld haha. Would be a fair trade. Sent from my iPhone using Forum...

P.S. How do I make pictures smaller? Feel like I'm destroying the sanctity of everyone's reading space with some of mine. Sorry bout that

Yay! It is nice out finally. Let the projects commence! Firstly, I bought a skidplate from RCI and am just waiting for its arrival. I am going to throw on some Trail Gear 78" rock sliders in June, the guys at my favorite shop are giving me a deal and will get them Line-X'd and welded up for...

Looks awesome man!! Love that when you realize the garage is now too short. Sent from my iPhone using Forum Runner

Amen!! I'm not sure I'd be able to pick lol Sent from my iPhone using Forum Runner

Hell ya Luke that would be awesome I'll start looking at that. I didn't quite finish my list still want to tighten the throttle cord and clean the throttle body. Everything else pretty much finished. Also if anyone has a spare bed cover they want to part with let me know. I'm now in the...

Welp it was a busy weekend but I didn't really do all that much in terms of going to play with the trac. Got a lot done though pretty much everything on my list. Realized for the first time how flimsy and silly the steps I have are though, so I started hunting for rock sliders and found these...

The cool weather and a three day weekend can only mean one things for me. Time to go out into the garage and spend a day under my truck! Happy days to come. The To-Do List: Re-install E Brake line from BL Re-install Wheel Spacers on the front Re-install Running Boards (my Mom will be happy) Fix...
