Was exhaust clearance the reason you captured the head mounts like you did?

I love my 17. Purchased new so I know exactly how that dumb kid drove it and how many miles are on the tow mirrors with or without big dumb loads. I only wish I had bought a higher trim level and a long bed. The only problem so far is how quickly it has developed leaks, namely the trans pan...

Fish sticks

Bi annual post time Obligatory 4340 show and tell Front 60 inner and outer upgrades with matching slugs (35 spline/D70), super joints, 14B spindle nut conversion and spool all from the company with the purple branding. Can’t remember if I could share this stuff but after 2.5 years it’s...

I knew the purpose was to index but was verifying how it all played together. I can def see how incredibly helpful that device would be as a third hand positioning tube. One of my biggest gripes. Kinda figured the yard stick was an accurate replacement for bend *. The wire system is kinda...

Think I’m tracking along, so the chuck holds the tube. It’s on a roller carriage that travels on the beam as the tube is drawn through the die and the beam pivots to compensate with the direction of the follower and die? What next, you park this thing in front of your plasma table and go all...

Yeah your old radiator was pretty cannibalized over the years

How bout these mariners? Here from the Netherlands delivering to the worlds furthest inland port at an elevation of 600’. Pretty cool bragging rights for them.

You people with lathes and all the things you can fix and build.

Or get selfies with the craigslist booth models?

In, with the first virtual front drive shaft joke

That would be handy like the sawzalls that allow the second 90* blade position

Ahhh, makes sense. The whole m&a liability cleansing...... Was listening to someone’s interview and they went into some detail about how the cool stuff vanished. Maybe it was JT Taylor

Ok that was the name on some Jeep forum or something that was given credit without a link on some diy website I found it on. Thought the handle was familiar. Not sure if I can trust the old pbb. Might catch something I can’t get rid of......

Stolen from ibb random stuff you’ve made thread. Credit to @twankie Didn’t want to post without digging up the credits where I found it

Right, I understand the motion ratio and yes I’d use a left over long travel ram for a setup as pictured above. Forming dies don’t need to move much more than an inch or two. If only for light gauge sheeting, it could be operated by hand all slot machine or beer tap style especially if you...

That’s what sold me. I was thinking of how to mitigate/maintain equal pressure across a long span in a home brew machine. This design is the answer and otherwise doesn’t need to be overkill/heavy for light sheet work. Could even be hand/lever operated. Bonus points for using hardened fingers...

I don’t think travel distance is a concern, care to elaborate? Ummm, mandatory!

Was browsing some homemade tools and saw a clever quick and dirty press brake utilizing a 20T bottle jack. That jump started my brain and immediately I thought of how I could replicate their tool with what I have laying around (luckily I haven’t hauled off my scrap yet. Procrastination pays)...

That’s why I asked but wasn’t certain. I’m back that way, we live right in the heart of Seagrave/Pierce/Oshkosh territory. I wasn’t aware you could tour the plant. Might have to look into that some day.
