    6.0 vs. 7.3 Powerstroke

    55 bucks at wal mart for Rotella. I dont think the 6.0 is much cheaper.

    6.0 vs. 7.3 Powerstroke

    the 6.0 is a great motor IF you put the money into them like was mentioned earlier. The EGR delete is a must. I have almost bought a 6.0 3 different times now but I talked myself out of it and bought 7.3s instead. The 7.3 is a dead reliable motor. It has a few small issues but...

    Thanks Bart! I was really excited when I saw how close the lights were going to be from the chrome bezel. Its just enought room to be able to adjust a little. I think once the chrome is shined and the rust is removed from the inside and painted....it should look like they really belong...

    Got very little done today. I did manage to blow up my plasma cutter so my days plans got changed. I decided to dink with a few small things. I got the throtle cable hooked up to the pedal and started playing with the grille. I got a KILLER deal on these Lightforce lights so I...

    I do to. But it has to be double sided velcro with slits in the lexan. So you more or less are tieing the lexan panel to the cage. Super easy to remove but should get the job done. I think thats what I am going to go for.......I think

    I enjoyed it altho they are complete idiots and really have no business hosting the show. I do agree that it wasnt the most "tread lightly" worthy episode but Ive seen as bad or worse on Xtreme 4x4 and Trucks. Doesnt help the cause at all but I dont think it hurts that bad.....especially...

    You can come huff paint at my place anytime! That sounds like a good idea but what are the chances I would ever pull it off? I would have bet my last 5 dollars that I wasnt going to roll on the nest.....you just never know. Fold down would be the best bet. Unless I just do the...

    Now remember......Im doing this with little to no money so I have to get creative sometimes. I didnt want to buy new link material and tube adapters for the heims....but, I moved the axle forward so the links need to be longer now. I looked thru my metal pile and I had some 2" tube. It...

    So here is the before pic And after.....I moved the front axle 5" forward. This give me good clearance on the firewall, the axle clears the motor plenty, and it gives me a nice approach angle. My wheelbase is about 128" now.

    Now for the big debate..... Windshield Or no windshield???? The one trip we went on without the windshield last fall, my wife hated it. She said a windshield has to go back on. I was going to make this Scout 80 windshield fold down for the trail but be able to put it up for...
