It’s a nasty 4 year cycle

We have a slide in camper. Don’t do it. Our dreams were to eventually build a gooseneck crawler hauler but it was a hard lesson learned that they are extremely inconvenient. Ours is a Palomino HS8801 and it’s basically the largest camper on the market before you get into slide out, long bed...

We used Red River Adventures. Set in at Fisher Towers and that gives you like 5 rapids. They bus you to and from, provide all the gear and a lunch. We went during the credit score rally (May) and it was still cold as hell, water and temperature and we were hit by a thunderstorm and had to call...

How is the high range rail connection secured?

I thought about asking the people I know with cad or bend tech dragons but wasn't going to give up that easy. So that’s why I got close and snuck up on the angles because technology or the mathematics weren’t available to me. I just had to fumble through it until I got it right. I would still...

PVC was used because I knew the rotation screws with the miter angle. Wasn’t about to practice or waste steel. Basically I started with the base angle in a single plan and started guessing from there 5* either direction and painfully narrowing it down to the 1/2 degree. The first joint (short...

Figured this was the best place to post this subject I didn’t pay much attention in high school because had they mentioned this stuff would be useful with race cars I’d been straight A’s. This latest project stumped the hell out of me. I’m building err uhh a hand rail, yeah, a hand rail...

Picture of the good side. NWF shifter (self jigging plate design) with a little tab welded to the bottom. I drilled the shifter body to catch a hole of the shift tower. The tab catches a boss on the case. 205 is two OE shifters with the DOM pivots milled down to both share the original pivot...

Was the serp equipment spinning when you stuck your digits in there? Nice score on the manifold. I love when a deal comes up at the right time. I prefer most parts to be new but I also think it’s neat to have parts with a history and little bit of a story to go with them.

So awesome

Yup, looks good from both sides ?

Looks way sportier than my machine! :D

Thanks Greg. It’s a cool old machine albeit they aren’t the most ergonomic in terms of operator controls but for their age they were a marvel. Built for the home owner and engineered to be serviced over and over again. Def not throw away piece of garbage like anything today. I actually enjoyed...

Yesterday we woke up to our first real snow fall. I’ve been procrastinating the repairs needed on our first snow blower. Overall the machine was in good condition and had a nice patina. We paid $750 and picked it up from a kid who had drug it out of a barn and recently brought it back to life...

Better pictures of the original engine mounts

The engine block-adapter is pictured above compared against the old design that buckled. For bushings I stuck with poly but purchased name brand energy suspension since they’ve been in the business awhile. Hoping they last. At the very least everything will be much easier to service this go...

Nothing beats sweat equity especially when very little of it is needed. Nice score

Aero is the overused word on the internet surrounding Robby’s new truck for the B1K

These engine adapters mean business Went back and forth between 1/2 and 3/8 but chose 3/8 for better aero A 1.75 x 3 poly bushing is permanent on the frame side. Going to run Energy Suspension products in the red flavor so everybody can see them. I lean brought Jeep control arm bushing tech to...

I like the gauge layout
