There is an additive for the coolant to keep the cavitation in check. Glow plugs are a pain, pain to install and pain to keep all 8 working longer than a week. Block heater is gold when below freezing.

Although it was nearly 20yrs ago, I swear I pulled one just like the picture above, right off the pegboard at my local Napa. I then busted the driver's side motor mount and stuffed that little bastard up against the hood and dented it outward.

I dislike the HF socket organizer; the last ones I saw were missing a couple sizes in the string (I think it was an 11 or 13mm on the 3/8 for example). A friend has the HF and they irritate me. I have the Sears brand organizers, they hold every size until I get near 30mm. Also, get the finger...

Blast products. Took my 70 C10 long bed there last year. Left it on my flatbed for them to easily move it around (no engine). They blasted the whole outside and inside the cab for about $550. I can't remember if it was done the next evening or it was two days later. I gave them a cost to stay...

I've been using a hitch pin through a strap loop for years. I stay tame though and try to not jerk on anything, so I don't have any worries about bending the pin. I am mindful of 'extreme' angles on the hitch that may cause my straps to rub/cut on the edge of the square tubing. I just don't...

My work truck is an '05 250 4wd reg cab with 4.30 ratio. Fiberglass 1' taller than cab shell loaded with I'm guessing 2k lbs extra crap. I can barely break 12mpg highway (slc to Coalville 3 days in a row), and seen mid 9's running around the valley. That is stock sized 245 tires on the 17"...

Any crossover... 2005 Ford Escape here. 3.0L V6 AWD with the 4spd. Currently at 281k mi without opening up the drivetrain. Still get 20+ combo driving, and have achieved 25 going to Elko from SLC. Ours has been rock solid, and fairly easy to work on. The alternator is buried though, and the...

Oh man what a pisser! On my '97 GMC, I dropped the tank once and lifted the bed once. When I did the bed, I just loosened the back 2 bolts and tipped the bed up like a dumpbed.

I was born in the early 80's. I still have my stamped metal Dukes of Hazzard lunch box in the attic! Unfortunately no thermos to go with it. I need to get that down and post some pictures... I haven't watch the Kibbe & Finnegan (loved Roadkill), I'll have to look it up.

Jealous. Planning on doing a late-winter/early-spring trip to the Grand Gulch Mine on the bikes. May I recommend heading NNW of Grand Gulch to 'Little Finland', since you are so close. It will pop you out just west of Mesquite if you continue on the main road heading north out of there. Little...

Would it even be worth pulling the axle; leave it in the Jeep and just drive it there? Six States has been good to me for carrier bearing replacements over the years.

Wow, that sucks. I've noticed an increase in vehicles with a brake light not working, and many with no brake lights at all.

Awesome!!! I've been considering an 800GSA, so I'd like to know your thoughts after a few days on the saddle.

Wasatch and SSS for me. Jeeper posted my exact thoughts on each place :rofl: I go to Wasatch the most. It can be a pain with a trailer, and 33rd at the end of the day makes it hard to get out of there. Even though they seem to always be busy, they load fast. SSS yard guys act like it's their...

I usually pack pre-made meals in the cooler; Beto's burritos, homemade sandwiches and sides, and sometimes those pre-made meals from the grocery store near the deli. I have a larger 2 burner Coleman that hogs space, I bring it only with the trailer but rarely when I'm sleeping in the truck bed...

2010 Forest River Shockwave 21' toyhauler here (MX-T21FS). Bought brand new. It was the last one on the lot, great price so we took it. Specs: 3500lb axles, so 7600 or something GVWR. 53g fresh, 40g gray, 40 black. 35g fuel tank, no gen. Non-ducted heat and A/C. Full fresh, 2 propane tanks, 1...

Minturn to Leadville, then back to Copper Mountain. Plenty of mining sights to see along this route. Just East of Leadville town (and South), just a few minutes of driving, there is a bunch of old buildings that you can pretty much drive to. Plus there is the museum in town. Head North from...

I say an 8 lug truck from the big 3. Ford 6.2, Ram 6.4, or GM 6.0 for the gas, and they are near the power output of the 7.3L. You get 6 gears from all of them. Plenty of cab space for kid seats, and 6.5' or 8' with shell of your choice. You can overnight in the shell and flatbed/custom it...

My parents have a '14 dually with the 68RFE, Laramie Limited. Used 75% for towing 17k-22k combined weight. Has approx 60k on it now. The transmission has been flawless. The turbo was replaced under warranty because of internal variable geometry failure (I don't remember the details). My dad...

Oh man that basket was ugly :oops:
