I've used my topside creeper on lifted trucks but where my son's truck is just leveled out I merely removed his front tires/wheels and lowered his down to where his front rotors are barely off the floor which allowed me to gain access to the engine fairly easy. Mike

Damn, and I thought I had expensive tastes in rides.X-D I'm a damn amateur evidently. Mike

No injector cups came out with the injectors on this one. Supposedly the guy my son purchased the truck from about 5 years ago had just done injectors prior to my son buying the truck. It was non-running when my son bought the truck so it was a gamble. Upon disassembly of the injectors I...

My son came home from work week before last saying his Duramax was starting to haze a bit at idle. After a few tests and diagnosing we determined injectors were in need of being replaced, at least two of them anyways but on an LB7 it's not worth going in that deep and only doing a partial...

That's a little disconcerting. I'd hate to be on the same section of highway as that guy when it let loose. Mike

We go every August and have been for the past 11 years now and I think it is the perfect time of year but unfortunately everyone else is figuring that out as well. When we started going to Ouray in 2007 the campground that we stay at was only about half full and we would see a few Jeeps and a...

Also I upsize a bit on the cup depending on the position of the weld to ensure a good coverage of gas to the topside of the weld as stainless steel is easy to overheat and have it look dull and grey. In order to keep the nice shiny weld and colors that people associate with when welding SS...

All good advice above. I would highly advise back purging as it isn't just for tubing, it is just easier to back purge with tubing. Stainless Steel likes to get "sugary" on the back side of the weld when not back purged. I've built myself several purge blocks over the years that use and have...

Nice. I would love to the see the specs/pictures if you get time. Mike

Thank you Ryan, I appreciate that. I'm pretty happy with it for an old girl with over 120k miles on it. Any additional info on the coach search yet? Mike

Thanks Bart. Hopefully as soon as I get the injectors replaced in my son's Duramax I can find some time to address my clearance issues. Mike

Happy to oblige. Mike

Thanks, ours as well. In my head I had planned on doing Metal Masher after Gemini Bridges and then Poison Spider on Saturday but with my interference issues I didn't want to push my luck and damage a tire so we did a few scenic trails and will save the others for the next trip down when I have...

The wife and I took off for a few days for some much needed R&R in Moab. Getting ready to hook up the Jeep to the coach. Hooked up and ready to hit the road. Our campsite jn Moab. Airing down on Friday morning. Looking down from the top of Gemini Bridges. Top of Bull Canyon looking...

Looks great. Very nice work. Mike

Personally I wouldn't go with the E (10-ply) as I feel they are too stiff and hard off-road. In a Jeep you really don't need the actual weigh carrying capacity like in a light truck. A "D" (8-ply) would be the highest ply I would go in a Jeep. I can't speak for the KM3 specifically but I had...

Thanks guys. Mike

It definitely spoils ya. I bouht a small 3-in-1 Smithy way back in the late 90's and built a LOT of one-off parts for my race cars, motorcycles, ATV's, snowmobiles and sand rails with that little unit. Then it got to where I was doing more machining and fabricating for people and decided to...

I ran into a similar situation when we bought our dream home in December 2016. The house itself however is a quality built home and no issues with the home itself and it was barely 3 years old. My issues were with anything, and I mean anything, that the original owners touched. The guy...

Let me preface by saying my wife and I don't camp, we RV. :cool: My idea of "roughing it" is if I don't have shore power and have to start the generator. X-D I don't particularly use the bathrooms in campgrounds but a lot can be told about the upkeep and maintenance of them by looking at the...
