    What does it take to blow up a 20T press?

    I've had a couple of welds break on mine. Made one heck of a bang when it did. Also, make sure your arbor plates are the cut steel plate ones and not the cast ones. The cast ones are known to shatter.

    Jeep Jeep Wrangler based truck (JT Gladiator)

    Mine wasn't so glamorous, a`72 Plymouth Valiant with a bulletproof 225 CID Slant Six. Must say though, it was bigger than the V6 in my current truck.

    I want to drive/ride to Hyder, AK next year...

    My BIL was travelling with me (he was in his pickup) and was carrying a mounted moose head on top of the bed shell and a full size mounted Kodiak brown bear (on the threatened species list I think, but taken legally) in the back of the truck. That made things fun on the border crossings.

    I want to drive/ride to Hyder, AK next year...

Things like "Park at the side of the road near the bridge at milepost X and take the 1/2 mile dirt trail for a spectacular view". When I was there we watched a...

    Towing with F150 or Tundra

    From what I've seen on NADA, you get the Ecoboost price delta back when you sell or trade. I paid $700 over the 5.0 for mine, and NADA books it as a $700 adder.

    Towing with F150 or Tundra

    I too have spun the tires accelerating from a stop with probably 1400 lb of weight in the bed (trailer tongue weight plus genny plus firewood plus etc) and 6600 lb of trailer. I'm sure the Tundra will do fine, it has the HP, but where you make HP makes a big difference in the quality of the ride...

    Furnace problems, any HVAC guys on here?

    Oh, and a warning Stay Far Far away from CentralProtect home warranty company. They denied my warranty claim on the furnace for "not performing yearly service" because my 15 year old furnace had dust on the control board.

    Victor Indrustrial Grade Propane Cutting Torch

    I was referring to the preheat jets on a cutting torch, not a rosebud tip.

    Victor Indrustrial Grade Propane Cutting Torch

    uh, no Oxy Propane burns at about 4087*f Oxy Acetylene burns at 6332*f People generally switch to propane for cost reasons if they are mostly doing cutting since Propane is sufficient for pre-heat and pure oxygen does the cutting.

    Mattress shopping thread

    +10100 I've had one for the past 15 years and won't have any other. Since mine never needs an air pressure adjustment unless someone (kid) has been jacking with it, a quieter pump would mean very little and be very seldom.

    Places to wheel around Amarillo, Texas?

    Watch out for the quicksand though which can be hidden under dry sand as well. It's not really quicksand per se, but the river is on bedrock and much of the water is moving through the sand. I watched a 3" bow wave in front of each tire as my brother drove on damp sand. When he stopped for...
