I can’t answer your question on the distribution hitch. I’ve never had to use one, but I have used those little scrubber style sway control hitches like this one from Harbor freight I just welded the little arm on my hitch and the other end on the trailer. it’s just a brake pad that you tighten...

After upgrading to Lifepo4 batteries in my van I will never go back. The performance is night and day better.

I assume by ruin it you mean put a nasty LS setup in it? I support this!

If you hear anything pass it along that would be a perfect setup for me.

I think mines a sport with a 4 L and it’s a Dana 35. But mines also in 1999 so that may have changed.

Yeah, that’s a good point I guess by the time I pay $350 for a bracket kit $100 for the spacers all the effort of pulling it out of some thing at a wrecking yard cleaning it up welding everything together. Finding a TJ D44 sounds like a much more affordable option than it did before this post...

That actually makes a lot of sense. The van definitely sees a lot of rough roads that would knock a compressor off. I’ll have to look at it and see if there’s a way to get into it without destroying the fridge and maybe find a way to secure it better.

Any idea what a fair price for a TJ Dana 44 would be? A quick look on Facebook marketplace looks like they’re mostly in the $1200 - $1500 range. And I imagine with gears in a rear locker It seems like a pretty expensive upgrade for what it is.

What do you plan to swap it to a 9 inch? Is the ranger 8.8 the same as the explorer? Drum brakes? Not 31 spline? I may be interested in buying it from you but if I can score an explorer axle and it’s better that might be the better option for me.

That track bar I picked up from you made such a difference. Most notably when driving down the freeway, it’s so much better.

I’m on my second one of these in six years. https://a.co/d/cWB1KaE The first one broke when I had to slam on the brakes on the freeway, and the plastic boat latches I had holding the fridge slide broke and it yeeted itself into the passenger seat. But the Amazon extended warranty, replaced it no...

This little jeep sure has been a lot of fun this summer. For those that haven’t seen my other thread I’m planning to build a 6.0 this fall for my adventure Van. And once thats done, I plan on rebuilding the 5.3 out of the van to swap into the TJ. When I start making my wrecking yard runs...

That’s actually really good feedback to hear. It looks like they’re at nearly every single expo across the west promoting them. That doesn’t do anyone any good if they can’t support them. I really want to pick up a smaller adventure bike winter/spring of 25.

I haven’t, I see them in my IG feed all the time and I’m a fan. But I have some other projects going currently that have me not in a financial position to buy a second bike this year unfortunately.

Another successful camping trip in the books this summer. This time it was loaded down with 4 16 yo kids and gear for everyone. It was hot out and did get 3-5° warmer then the Colorado trip up some steep grades but didn’t loose any coolant. I need to start hitting the wrecking yards and see if...

lol y’all are haters, he’s a 52 yo rock star that tours constantly and has done so for decades, he stays in shape and tries to spread some positivity. Like him or not he’s hardly worth the effort of shit taking on the internet.

So I’ve never been a big 30 seconds to mars fan and honestly only knew a few of the songs. I also really dislike usana (Utah first or whatever it’s called now) or any venue of that size. I’ve never seen a show there that I felt was amazing. That’s said Jared Leto is kinda a bad ass imo and while...

I’m definitely older than you and @Tonkaman but I still have my hair.

I was there too! Always been an AFI fan.

Today I hit a mile stone for myself personally. I am officially under 205 pounds which I haven’t been since 2002. At 5 foot 11 I’m still definitely overweight and my current goal is 190 pounds. I went through a break up over Christmas of 2022 and when January 2023 rolled around, I jumped on...
