There is no hurry at all. I need to finish the Blazer for jeep safari before I start on anything else.

I was going to donate a slide rule and abacus, but it seems I've been outclassed by some very generous people who posted above. We have those calcs at work. Joe and I will both steal one and donate them. Since Provo buys water from us, it will still come out of Provo's budget in a very round...

Since I work at a water treatment plant, I have plenty of that around and I stay pretty well hydrated. But how does it help keep you awake? Are you suggesting I drink so much I can't possibly get tired 'cause I'll have to take a leak every 10 minutes?

What are some other good energy drinks? Red Bull is ok, but the less I have in common with Dustin Webster, the better. Normally, I rarely ever drink carbonated drinks, let alone caffeinated stuff. However, when I work 12 hour graveyard shifts over the weekend, sometimes I get a little sleepy...

I have had too much time to think again and have come up with a new way to make something simple super complicated. This has been inspired by JPTHING's front 14 bolt axle thread and somebody else who used a 14 bolt in the front of their KOH buggy and Mesha's 609s he wants me to help him build...

How did you determine the length of the of traction bar? A leaf sprung axle moves through an arc as it travels, but it's not that easy to calculate the arc radius since the spring is changing length throughout the travel. Has anyone tried to figure out how to calculate the "optimum" length and...

Ok, really on a more serious note-- come over to my house sometime and check out my Marlin .22. It's a youth model, so it's very short and light and it breaks down pretty small using only one screw. It's a big flathead screw, so I have even field stripped it using a penny. It has scope rails...

Git yerself a 10/22 with a 24" bull barrel and one of them lead filled synthetic stocks. Then put on a scope from a Barrett .50 BMG (you know the ones made for professional people killers) that can see in the dark. Then you'll need a ghillie suit for you and your wife (so she can be your...

Put a four bolt box on it from a YJ and some reinforcement plates to keep the box from ripping off the "frame."

I worked at a Ford dealer for a long time and we had far more problems with early 5.4L's blowing plugs out of the head than we ever had with the 6.8L. Probably only saw one or two V10's blow a plug, but we saw a least one 5.4L a month. With that said, I have a '97 F250 LD with a 5.4L and 175k...

I love my red top optimas. I have three of them right now. Optimas do not like slow steady discharges till they're dead. If you discharge it in a hurry (winching or something) but then charge it back up, they go forever. I have killed several by letting them sit for a long time with a draw...

You don't really need to use anti-seize on the threads. If you get the motorcraft ones, Ford has been putting a different plating on the threads and they haven't had problems seizing. Blow off the area around the coils with compressed air before you pull the coils out. It really sucks when...

I have a couple of those. How much is a decent kid worth these days?

Thanks to you, I'm waiting on the dimple dies as well :p Gonna build me a really fast looking gas tank skid. The taco is looking great. It's been a good build to follow. I had really good luck with my summit proportioning valve when I converted my old Merkur XR4Ti to discs in the rear...

Yeah, I read through the inspection book and couldn't find anything that says hydro steering is illegal, but there is a definite gray area when it comes to modifying vehicles. They have sure changed that book up a lot since I last did inspections. It is getting way more detailed. Did a bunch...

They look very nice and very out of my price range. You guys make awesome stuff.

The specs he forgot: He failed to mention his latest mods: smashed, leaky radiator ripped off front bumper tweaked roll cage passenger side hood and fender six inches lower than driver side lots of St. George sand in places it shouldn't be

^^^^^^ I read that last night too. I was going to dig out my old safety inspection book from when I used to do them, but couldn't find it. I had some of the concerns bryson was explaining, like the pump not moving enough fluid or the valving in the steering gear not moving enough fluid. I...

You may be right-- I haven't looked at a safety inspection book for a long while and I don't spend a lot of time reading laws... several people have told me that most race sanctioning bodies (except in rock crawling/racing) require a mechanical linkage. But again that's still hearsay. Maybe...

I got almost all of mine from Matco and Cornwell tools. Any of the tool guys should have them on their truck. I have heard them called rotary files or carbide burrs, but they are definitely one of the coolest things you can chuck up in a die grinder. I have one in that same shape, but it's...
