We have always had Jeeps mainly because we tow them behind our motorhome for either sightseeing and/or off-roading fun. In 2011 we were contemplating selling our sand rail and getting a RZR because several of my co-workers have them and they sounded like fun. My wife and I had a blast in our...

Subscribed. I had a 1984 Chevrolet shortbed that I put a 396cid big block that I bored out to 402 with a TH400 behind in high school. I loved that truck and sold it after getting married because I thought it was time to "grow up". Man I miss that truck. I couldn't drive anything stock so...

No problem, wish it would have worked out for ya. Mike.

Shoot, sorry to hear that. He must have sold it fairly quick because it was just a couple of months ago I heard he was selling the truck and trailer. Mike.

Message received and replied. Let me know if you don't get it. Hope it works out for ya. Mike.

A friend of mine has that exact toyhauler for sale. If you are interested I could put you in contact with him. If memory serves he only owned it for a year and he towed it with a Dodge 3500 crew cab shortbed. I had installed air bags under the rear but other than that is was stock...

Thanks Steve. My hat is off to you and your wife because even the transformation that my wife and I have gone through, I still could not do what you are doing. I love RVing and it is a huge part of mine and my wife's life, but I could not full-time. You nailed it. It is about "using" those...

Awesome picture. Mike.

Very interesting thread. Like already mentioned "minimalism" means different things to different people. Being 46 years old now I wouldn't consider myself old by any means but my mindset has definetely changed from when I was younger. For some reason when I started my professional career as...

Thanks Brian. I think.:D I had pretty much made up my mind that I was NOT going to run the trail based on some other reviews that I had read and some youtube videos that I watched. I don't want to sound like a wuss but ya, I don't flog on my baby. I built it to wheel and use just not abuse...

Damn. And our Jeep club was going to run that next weekend. Glad I opted out as I don't want my JKU all beat to hell. Mike.

Although the tag axle is nice to have, the one listed above is on the older Ford F53 chassis which is also still using 16" tires/wheels. They used the tag on that model because the coach itself was overloading the axle, tire and wheel rating leaving very little CCC. These as well as the GM tag...

I finally made time Saturday to finish up some windshield/handlebar mounts for a buddies Harley. I made the bore and squared up some stock a couple weeks ago. Now I just had to turn the radius and complete them. Started by making a mandrel to mount the blocks on my rotary table. Boring to...

First off let me preface by saying I am not a marine guy. I have built marine engines but I hate marine/boats. So basically I am saying "don't quote me".:D I believe the marine 305 cid engine is rated around 205 or 210 horsepower. I know the stock Mercruiser 350's were rated @ 260 HP. Greg...

Russ, I did not run any inter cooler on the ones I built but they were not pushing more than about 6-8 pounds of boost so it was not as necessary. More boost will heat the air up more and would require cooling, and fuel. The engine must be built with better components when you start pushing...

Personally I think the setup in the first pictures look fine. I don't think they were too deep, the second set was definately too shallow. Good move on eliminating the crush sleeve, they are not problematic once setup but when I have the opportunity I try to use eliminator kits myself as...

The biggest difference between a marine supercharger and a street supercharger is the belt drive and pop-off system. The marine supercharger uses a serpentine style belt and does NOT have a pop off valve. This is so in the event of an overboost the pop off valve does not open potentially...

Yep, that's the plan.:D Thanks Greg. Mike.

Will do. So far they are super smooth and quiet on the pavement, hopefully the week after next I will be able to give them the off-road test. Mike.
