Silly little project that I did after work yesterday. I decided I had looked at my cut downspout long enough. I had cut one of them with my line trimmer about a month ago so I came up with a plan to add some thickness to it and while I was at it I may as well do the other two that are in the...

Ooooh. Gold plated. :cool:

We'll just miss each other. I can't wait either as I look forward to our week long Ouray trip every year, this will be our 12th year in a row now. Love that place and it has been one of the few that as we are packing up to leave the wife actually mentions how much she looks forward to...

You won't regret it. I was waffling on buying a newer one last year but still wasn't that impressed with them after driving several for extended periods of time so opted to just stick to my original plan of an LS that I had been contemplating/planning for the past several years. My Jeep is...

Montana for a week of relaxing, then in August our annual trip to Ouray, September a gathering with our RV/Jeep club for a week of wheeling and then October a week in Moab with same group. I'm itching to get off-road as I've only had my Jeep off the pavement once since the upgrades. It's been...

I was about to put mine on a diet as well but opted to just add power instead which would allow me to still take all of my crap with me. Turned out to be easier. :rofl: Mike

That is AWESOME! I live in West Haven, so I'll be coming to the Ogden one to get mine filled. I've been using the Norco in SLC just off the 201 but have to leave my tanks for a few days and it's about a 25 mile drive. I will definitely be bringing mine to you in Ogden next fill. Thank you. Mike

This was last night's project but I was able to erase another item off of my white board. The seat belt escutcheons on the pilot and Co-pilot seats in our coach are plastic and have been cracked for the past few years but due to higher priority projects, I wasn’t able to build new ones until...

I finally got around to completing the stand or cart for my new Branick 7600 strut spring compressor. I opted for a cart that I could store in my RV/storage bay until I needed it as I didn't want to give up a permanent spot on the wall anywhere. Started by making a template for the wheel...

I'm sorry, I kind of dropped the ball on this one. The bumper has been back from the powder coater for about a month now sitting on the floor. I just haven't had time to install it. My son is getting married next week and we have been busy getting him moved into his new home and preparations...

Ryan, that turned out awesome! Mike

Since my last Moab trip in April when I wanted to test out the new tires and especially the drivetrain I have been tweaking the suspension just a bit as I had a very slight interference issue in the rear and a more major interference issue in the front. If you remember from a previous post, the...

My son bought his first home as he is preparing to get married and last week we moved his toolbox out and it really opened up my shop. This is where it has been located for the past two years now, just inside the man door of the shop. The top box and a few bottom drawers were loaded into...

I noticed the other day when I was pressure washing the undercarriage of my Jeep that the lower core support was showing a bit of ugliness. This was visible through the grille and bugged me. After removing the grille I sanded the metal support down and masked the area. That looks much...

Sounds like an awesome build Greg. Looking forward to it. Mike

I prefer the flow meters to just a gauge like frieed above. On my TIG setup I also installed another valve onto the meter side for a purge line. Mike

Congrats. Enjoy the new to you toy. I can't wait to get caught up in my shop so I can get back to doing more machining. I really enjoy it. Mike

I would go with at least an 18" tire/wheel for the handling when towing. With less sidewall there is less wandering and movement between the wheel and the road. I could tell a big difference when I went from 16" to 20" wheels in overall stability of the truck when towing my race trailer. With...

Went and got the emissions certification done on my Jeep today. She's legal with the new LS engine. Now to rack up the miles and enjoy her. She also turned over 5k miles on the new powertrain today. Mike

Makes perfect sense Brent. When my wife and I were dating she would bring me dinner many times while I was working late getting ready for a race or whatever and so she was well aware of who/what I was. She wasn't trying to get me to fit a mold or change me unlike the girlfriend I had...
