The family is leaning towards a dark green sort of like the old jeep we saw at the Moab car show (see my post Moab rocks and rods).

That sounds like a great idea.

The latest progress I am really slow at posting updates but here is where it sits today. I have finished replacing rusty floor panels and coated the bottom with POR15 and truck bed liner. I replaced the PO cut off rocker panels with a boat side style sliders. I also have all of the long arms...

Grand canyon area ?

The owner of EVCO that lived not far from me (he owned it the last time I met him) passed away recently and that may have something to do with it.

Which Camaro ? there were lots of good looking ones there. We may enter my son in law's Delorean next year.

Now for some of the rods.

We just got back from our annual family Moab trip. We hit several trails: Poison Spider, Flat Iron Mesa and Hell's Revenge. We had a large group and it took more time or we would have done more. After the trails we hit up the car show. There sure were a lot of nice cars there. Here are a few...

I have rebuilt several of these Dana 44s and they are not C clip axles. As stated above the axle is held in by a retaining plate behind the wheel flange. In front of the plate is a seal, then the bearing with its race and finally the pressed on retaining ring. If the seal was missing it would...

We bought some exploding targets from Cabelas for our last redneck trip to the desert. The ones we got had to be hit with a high power rifle and the first one we tried didn't work (using a 30-30 and a 9mm handgun) but the ones we hit with a 30-06 did work and made a much bigger boom than the gun...

First name, last initial. Not very creative but I'm old and its easy to remember.

I put a 79 F250 front HP 44 under my son's Comanche. I narrowed it to waggy width. If you want to come see how I did it send me a PM.

I've got a 454 in the garage.

I had two sets for my Scrambler but it wasn't a daily driver so one set didn't get used much. My son ended up swiping them for his jeep. After he wore those tires out he bought some KM2s and uses them for summer and a set of 33x9.5s for winter. Changing the a couple of times per year isn't that bad.

The knock sensor hole is a metric thread and I don't think there are any similar sized holes on the block but there could be. The knock sensor is a microphone that picks up pre-detonation on these motors. You will want it so that it won't ping. By the way the motor you got from my son in law is...

There are two temp sensors on the 91-95 4.0 engines. The front one is on the thermostat housing and the rear one is on the back of the head on the drivers side. Both just screw out using a socket or wrench. The one in front runs the computer and the one in back runs the gauge in the dash. You...

I am going to try and get the Commando done in time to do this. I have kids in Salina and regularly visit them in the summer via this scenic route. There are a couple of spots along the trail that may still be drifted on the date of the run. The worst drift is a north facing drift north of Joe's...

We were out on Fins and Things when they were filming part of it there. We talked to some of the people to find out what was going on and one guy told us what the movie was about. His final comment was "the kid was an idiot".
