    A custom axle for Anthony's TJ

    I had wondered about that because the WJ's have a slightly different inclination angle. Looks like you just confirmed that. Great job on the project. Mike

    RIP Jessi Combs

    So sad. Started following her on Extreme 4x4 way back and she seemed like the real deal although I have never met her.

    I sometimes miss my 1940 Chev Deluxe that I showed and raced for about 11 years. Fun car. Mike

    Shop / Tools Opportunity to learn/experience welding... Episode 1

    I apologize, I missed this and just saw it. It depends on what I'm building. When I was building sandrails and race cars I was using Pro-Werks because I would purchase them at the same time as my 4130 chromoly tubing from Chassis Shop. I still buy them from there on occasion but most of the...

    That's awesome Greg. Glad the Gladiator performed well for ya. You were there the same time we were this year. We just returned this past Sunday after being there since the previous Saturday. Mike

    Headed To Ouray

    We were just there last week. If you are planning on going THIS would be the year if you want to see the beautiful waterfalls. Also a LOT of damage this year from avalanches, we've never seen so many in the area and this was our twelfth year in a row. Last summer was dry and very few streams...

    When the time comes I will just purchase the new resin and change it myself. So far it has washed the coach for 2+ years and hasn't moved the needle on the TDS meter. When the time comes I can purchase another cubic foot of resin for just under a couple hundred bucks but I feel I can get quite...

    Nice showhauler/Super C. Yes, that is a lot of real estate. When I had my 26' enclosed race trailer with OAL of 72' it was very taxing to clean everything. I usually had to clean everything twice, once when we returned from a trip then before we left because the coach and trailer sat outside...

    That is my deionized water system for spot free rinsing of my coach. Saves a LOT of chamois work with that much real estate to dry. On my YouTube channel I have a video of building the cart that I fabricated and the components that I purchased from DI Rinse. Mike

    I almost forgot to include some gratuitous pictures of our Jeep in her element. Then after returning home yesterday proceeded to wash and detail both the Jeep and the coach in preparation for the next RV/Jeep adventure. Thanks for looking. And for anyone interested, the...

    My wife and I just returned from our annual Ouray, CO wheeling trip. This was our twelfth year in the area and by far the most interesting. The amount of damage and carnage from many, many avalanches was staggering. We’ve seen an occasional slide or avalanche area here and there but we counted...

    Very nicely done. I love the attention to detail and clean overall finished product. Mike

    School me on 1997 7.3 liters.

    The SCA additives on these engines isn't quite as critical as a sleeved engine. The parent bore cyl. walls are thicker and the casting reacts differently than a steel liner. That being said, you still don't want to neglect the cooling system but there isn't the need to monitor it so closely as...

    School me on 1997 7.3 liters.

    Built like tanks. Unfortunately ride like one too but everything is definitely heavy duty. The 4R100 transmission wasn't the greatest but lasted as long as serviced regularly and not beat on too severely. Only real issues I saw on the engines was the electrical wiring harness for the...

    Sorry, I don't think I mentioned that but it is an OE upper hose from a 2007-2014 Silverado/Denali. Bought this one at my local NAPA, part # 9867 or the AC Delco part # is 26559X. Again, this was to keep with my whole theme of trying to use OE off the shelf parts. I did have to trim about an...

    Russ, I don't think I could fabricate one to look as good as the OEM GM engine cover and I like the OEM GM engine cover for the "stock" look. That was one my goals with my LS swap, I wanted to have the GM engine cover as most all truck/SUV LS swaps that I have seen don't run an engine cover...
