    Need a new tow rig/DD

    Well, I will know the fate of my '06 F250 today as they are doing a compression check on the engine, but I've got a bad feeling there is a bad rod or bearing deep in the engine. The damn thing only has 94,000 on it, partially my fault for some of the mishaps, but a lot to blame on Ford, more...

    210 Nautique...the new project

    Well, besides not being free much because of work, I did manage to take advantage of living 12 blocks from the Mississippi River again. Wife & I picked up a 2005 210 Nautique. One of the best wakeboard boats in it's era, and honestly, all the flash and cash required for the new ones, I...

    So Cal brothers, need a pick up in Blythe?

    Thought I'd check in with my people and see if anyone that owes me a favor (I hope there is one or two of you) might be going through Blythe in the next couple days. I found a set of AMP research steps in Blythe that I need picked up and shipped, I'll make it worth your time, the guy won't ship...

    Nissan Altima

    Looking at an '08 Altima. Wanting a vehicle that will get some good fuel economy, they show a v6 and a 4 cylinder and I'm thinking about the 4-popper. It's the best mileage (24 city, 31 hwy) on a vehicle that doesn't look way too small, the new Altima isn't much smaller than the Maxima and...

    Looking for info on tow bars...for Nissan

    Instead of renting a uhaul trip for an upcoming travel I decided why not spend the same amount of money for a tow bar to put on the front of my fiance's Xterra. I can't really think of a good reason other than owning equipment vs. renting (well, if I wanted to get drunk at the bar I could make...

    Disc Brake Conversion for Ford 9"

    I haven't seen a solid disc brake upgrade writeup for a Ford 9" axle so I documented what was pretty much a hunt for me to do this rebuild. My rear axle fortunately has 5x4.5 shafts however has a full aftermarket disc brake conversion. I have almost all the part numbers if someone would want...

    Local TV from digital conversion in my truck!

    So I'm heading to the Cardinals game tonight and wanted to catch the hilights from another game while we were tailgating. This got me thinking, I ran a A/V cord out from my Alpine IVA-200 to be used as an aux input to view videos, digital pics or any other input. Local tuners from Alpine...

    Got a friend in town who rented a 4 door Jeep JK. Pretty standard equipment, open diffs, 225 Goodyear tires. I pulled the airbag fuse and took it wheeling...with a video cam. Any speculation on how it did?

    Mobile tow point or HORRIBLE IDEA?

    I can't believe this was published. I'd wrap my towstrap through your window before clamping onto this death trap. http://www.moabjeeper.com/articles/general/listing.cfm?articleID=468

    9" Disc conversion help!

    I'm in need of some brackets. Anybody recognize these or know of a good place to find something similar? I don't need those goofy horn things on the top, so I could likely just have a machine shop cut out a couple pieces but maybe they are stock bracket from some oddball vehicle.

    flatbed car hauler brake trouble and bunk sealing?

    My 18' Carson trailer was bought new in 2004 and we've been to hell and back. Probably close to 30,000 miles on this thing. Anyway, I haven't done anything with the bunks or floorboards this entire time. I am looking at it thinking I should seal them and after looking around online I saw...

    Help! Where to buy c-clip, splined washer for axle shaft

    I need these two parts. I call them a c-clip and a splined washer I hate to say it, but I don't know what they're called, where to get them or a Ford part number. I've gone to a few FORD parts counters to try to buy them and the guy basically has told me that he needs the model number on...

    How To: Early Bronco Style Solid Axle Swap

    This is becoming a pretty popular topic. I thought it would be time to make some resources available to those who really need to see what it takes. I'm not going to get into why you should go solid axle vs. the TTB nor will I get into the debate of leaf springs vs. coils. Also I will not...

    The Prefix Tour Trekker

    I was next to one of these on my way to the office this morning. It's really something amazing so I figured it was worth sharing on here. I knew right away from the pink paint it was from the Pink Jeep Tours in Sedona but I fell in love with this thing. I would get rid of my super duty any...

    Dannyboy got another new ride

    This one probably won't be around long, but I got a deal on this and have been cleaning/detailing/repairing a bunch of things and then it will go back up for sale in the peak of season. Glad to have a boat again as it's been since '07 when I sold my Supra before taking a job as a mfg. sales...

    Nice Cummins swap in a Ranger article

    Thought I would share this. I saw a slick little Ford Ranger on the cover of "Diesel Builder" magazine. I hear guys all the time ask about swapping an engine but usually nothing comes of it. Here's a Ranger with the goods. I saw the magazine at Autozone with a few more pictures but this is...

    Hidden Winch Project

    Last weekend I decided to break down my Warn M8000 winch that I had on my 94. this thing weighed probably close to 50 lbs, but a lot of that weight and mounting depth was from the 2" receiver slide in mount that I designed my old front bumper around. I rebuilt this winch last year...
