I really like the gun and I like the way it shoots, but it’s also the only real compact I’ve ever had experience owning. The next smallest pistol I have is an Sig P228. For me, the Ruger was just a good fit with Price and size to leave inside the vehicle.

So little update on the ghetto head gasket repair. Maybe three weeks ago took the van on a camping trip up to twin Lakes Idaho just past Preston. it ran flawless so last week I decided to roll the dice and took it up to Breckenridge Colorado and ended up doing about 1200 miles total through the...

I bought myself a Ruger LC9s to keep in my van full-time and the gentleman helping me asked me if I was buying it for a lady friend. Haha I don’t know that I would recommend it over anything that’s been suggested, but I feel like that was his way of informing me I was buying a woman’s gun.

I used to cover Tucson as part of my sales territory, and I spent a fair amount of time there. I actually like it much more than Phoenix, like other say there are trashy parts but there’s definitely a lot of nicer parts, including a lot of resorts. I think a lot of the landscapes surrounding...

I’m trying to convince my Work to buy me the super cab version of this with just a little access cab. so that I can just buy it from them in two years and put the blower on. Unfortunately, they seem very difficult to find with the V8

A quick Google search shows that you don’t need it for the engine to run with an LS. But I still couldn’t imagine a world where I would want to spend all that time and money, putting an engine swap in without having an oil gauge.

I can’t imagine the ecu wouldn’t need to see oil pressure? Not to mention the fact that if it’s not plugged at all right now, it’s definitely going to spew oil. the pressure switch that goes on there isn’t that big I think it would be just as difficult to get a plug in there as it would the...

I had nearly that exact car for my first car. 79 Mustang Pace car with the little cowl induction hood that had a 5.0 and five speed swapped in. Mine had Tops though. But of course, like any responsible high school kid I ruined a really nice original patina paint job in favor of multicolor...

@mbryson I ended up buying a pretty fancy scan tool for calibrating the pressure switch on my Tahoe. It will let you see lots of live data, including switch pressure and position and all sorts of stuff that makes diagnosing those kind of issues a lot simpler. If you need to borrow it for a few...

It’s been running great. Friday night I took it up camping near Monte Cristo and then over paddle boarding at Casey for a a few hours Saturday. And that all went well so before I went home, I decided to run it up Parleys with the air conditioner on full blast and pushed it really hard. And then...

That’s what I used. Fingers crossed

OK, so new development on this van head gasket situation. I was talking to a friend today and he’s like dude have you tried the head gasket repair? Shit you put in the radiator. And of course I haven’t because as far as I’m concerned that stuff just ruins your engine or at least that’s what...

Well, I’m finally getting ready to tear into this thing this week. I’ve been pretty busy finishing up some stuff on the little TJ and getting the boat ready for summer just in time for it to be halfway over. I must admit I’m slightly intimidated, I have rebuilt, several V twin engines and single...

I think it looks great and much higher quality than most the stuff you see companies selling.

Lithium batteries and solar panels have definitely come along ways in performance and price they are for sure an option. But I think for the occasional power outage, you would be hard-pressed to get your money back out of that set up versus a generator.

It’s a half ton AWD drivetrain haha not on 1 tons. It would grenade that front diff the first time I laid into the skinny pedal.

honestly, I think I’ll take this advice and just pull the heads look at the cylinder walls if they look decent just send it while I work on building a box truck for the next couple years and keep using this Van. If it doesn’t look good, I’ll just bite the bullet and buy a rebuilt short block...

That actually does look like a pretty solid deal. But I worry with that kind of power It’s just going to spiral. I would definitely have to put a better transmission in behind it. A decent cam would be nice, but I don’t know that I need or even want a 450 hp in that van.

I’ll do it if you do. Haha

Yeah, and I guess that’s what I’m contemplating. I really want to do one of the small single rear wheel box trucks with super duty axles. But I’m not sure I want to drop the $60,000+ It would take to put something like that together. That’s been more of a goal to have done in the next five years...
