    Home water storage ideas?

    Poly tanks were popular in the oilfields, they just like to blow away when empty. For horse water and washing water, non-potable is generally fine. For drinking water I'd use 5gallon water containers.

    Off road games

    So I haven't gotten this game yet. My computer's specs are a bit on the low side for it, it was moderately ok when I got it four years ago but now is on the low end. The game has been released at $15 though, so it's still on the list. I did stumble across a game I used to play quite some time...

    Wanted In need of 245/75R16 tires

    It looks like I'm stuck with the Walmart route. Does anyone have a decent single AT in this size so I can have the spare the same size?

    Lame Joke Thread

    World famous archeologist Fred Flintstein was leading an expedition in the Swedish fjords. While there, he reported that he had found a fossilized stool sample. During a later interview, he was pressed to tell what he felt this was from, and he responded "A dab of Abba Doo". I have to credit...

    My Next Project: 1965 Sunbeam Alpine

    Man, I want some custom upholstery done in my F250 build, but not this sort of situation.

    Kevin's (slow) Excursion mod/upgrade thread

    Be mindful of the oiling issues with the V10. They like to puke out the timing chain tensioner seal, and starve the right side cam. Using a thicker oil allows more pressure up there, and helps bandaid that wear for a bit. I've been running 15w40 in my Explorer 4.6 for a couple years because...

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    Nice. I like heavy duty bumpers that don't scream about it. Something a bit understated, but hit it and you'll know it.

    Blipshift - Jeep Shirt

    Nice concept, but shouldn't the lower one be about half the size?

    Kevin's (slow) Excursion mod/upgrade thread

    One of my coworkers has a V10 Excursion, and the exhaust is broken between the cat and muffler. It's not loud, it just has a pretty sweet howl to it when it's working. I've hauled a 27' camper with it, and my F250 project on an insanely heavy tri axle trailer, it was a nice sound. Ford cats...

    I love the sound of those V10s with an open exhaust.

    Where in the World will he go?

    It sounds nicer than you will serve two years, or we expect you to, etc. Anticipate also tends to imply looking forward to something, rather than staring down an obligation. Better personal engagement leads to better results, and fewer washouts.

    My adventure "tent trailer" build

    Are you going to lift it? It looks a little vulnerable on the tail sitting that low.

    What year fords had radius arms with solid axles?

    I worked on a 4x4 converted ambulance a few years back that had an interesting radius arm attachment method. I thought I took pics but they may have been lost when my old phone died. Basically, they used the 2wd radius arms, but moved the mounts back on the frame, and the stock radius to I beam...

    What year fords had radius arms with solid axles?

    I have the diamonds and radius arms from my 72 F100 under my Courier, on a left hand drop J2000 axle. It all fits fine, I welded a couple pieces of 3"x1/2" angle to the frame and then bolted the stock Ford radius arm mounts to that for some extra strength. Yours should go pretty similar...

    What year fords had radius arms with solid axles?

    What side drop is the J20? The Ford axle will be a left hand drop, plus the knuckles out will need to be swapped for bolt pattern purposes. I've been told the GM outers that Jeep used are stronger. What is that Ford axle out of?

    What year fords had radius arms with solid axles?

    Jeff's Bronco Graveyard sells the diamonds by themselves, they fit D44 tubes. 59-77? F100 had forged radius arms, 78-79 F150 and Bronco had stamped steel. I think you can get the later style along with the frame brackets from JBG as well. F250 was leaf sprung, and there wasn't an F350 4x4...
