    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    Thanks Mike. C rotation is a bit of a PITA, but the net results are worth it. I've done a few of these, the first was with the axle on the Jeep....won't ever do that again. ;)

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    Wrapped up the axle beef project on Saturday. The inner C's had been previously rotated to regain lost caster but the passenger side was off by 1.3 degrees, so I removed the weld, rotated the C to match the driver side and rewelded it. I then prepped both C's and burned on the Artec Upper...

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    I've got an all original white 1960 Apache shortbed stepside that I plan on resto-rodding. It was owned by my neighbor who bought it new in 1960 and drove it until he passed away. It was his only transportation (other than his tractor) and has 73,000 miles.

    Picking a line when off-road

    I learned to wheel with 30-31" tires, manual trans and open diffs. I watched the lines that others took and looked for the line where all 4 tires would maintain traction and used momentum (Moab bump) to get over obstacles that would reject you if you tried to simply crawl them. I soon got used...

    Started beefing up my friend's D30 for his XJ refresh. Combination of Artec truss and Inner C gussets and SFR raised Trackbar mount. He'll be adding WJ knuckles/brakes and an SRF 4-Link.

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    My daughter-in-law asked if I could build her a unique wedding arch for their reception, so we sketched out a rough design and then went to work. She wanted a mix of wood and copper, so poplar and 1" tubing seemed to fit well. Base brackets are 3/16" plate and 3/4" pipe, which fits snugly...

    GMC / Chevy GM's LV3 V6, aka the LS-based 4.3

    A few decades back (3 actually), I performed a 4.3 TBI engine swap, mated to a TH350 trans and used the Howells Plug and Play harness. Super slick install and looks factory. The newest version of the 4.3 nets 100hp more that the 1st Gen and weighs less, double bonus!

    Custom JK drag link sleeve???

    Do you weld/have access to a welder? A short section of DOM, with a right and left-hand threaded tube adapter welded into each end, should net you the result that you are looking for. You'll need the diameter and thread pitch of the Tera linkage to know what adapters you need to purchase...

    Jeep LS swap for the LJ

    Words of truth. I did the WJ knuckle swap on my XJ about 9 yrs ago and also moved the steering linkage OTK. Zero regrets and it brakes and steers awesome.

    I need to fab some shelves for my shed as well. BTW, Lifetime makes aluminum corner caps that snap over the shed corners where they ultimately split open. Just contact their Customer Service dept and give them the shed model and they send the corners to you for FREE!

    Getting healthier in 2020. Who's in?

    I was introduced to the Precision Nutrition program about 8yrs ago and participated in their 12mo Lean Eating transformation program/contest in 2012, qualifiying as a finalist for a $25,000 Grand Prize. While I didn't win any $ (the winner lost 152lbs! ), I dropped 25lbs and 9.4% bodyfat...

    Air bags on a long arm setup

    While this is an off-road trailer application, a similar setup could be used with a bump plate fabbed on top, to allow the bag to not limit droop/damage bag and also provide added load bearing capacity. C-Series GM truck rear suspension setup

    RIP Jessi Combs

    Got to hang out with Jesse at the Ultra4 race at MMP in 2014. Talented, kind and down to earth, a true class act. She will be missed.

    Smith Lakes

    The Smith Creek drainage crosses my family ranch in Morgan Co and when I was up there 2 weeks ago, there was not much snow left at the high elevations. I haven't been to the Smith Creek lakes since last year on July 4th, which there was no snow present at that time last year. With the heavier...
