    Interesting idea for EJS 2007

    I was reading through and thought this exact thing. If you want to make a toll just donate it to the mud fund. That way RR4W get the money and they know where it needs to go to keep the trails open. Whether it be paying for trail cleanup or paying courts and lawyers to help keep trails open...

    Interesting idea for EJS 2007

    AMEN I have always carried a trash bag in the Scout on the Safari and I bet most people do. If you see some trash......pick it up. If you see some trash leaving some trash....let them know about it and if they still leave it....pick it up. All it will take is a little effort from everyone...

    Can you weld on a Dana 60 housing???

    I am going to go a different route I think. I am going to make a mild steel plate that will bolt on the spring perch then I can weld to that. When I find someone with a stick welder that is willing to......I will just use nickel rod and weld it as well. There is no way I am paying 50 bucks a...

    Can you weld on a Dana 60 housing???

    What welding store did you order that wire from?? Praxxair only has it in a 33 pound spool at 50 bucks a pound!!! $1650 for 10 inches of welding........what a bargain. Airgas had never heard of nickel wire. One other store ....cant remember the name....is looking into it for me. I knew...

    Can you weld on a Dana 60 housing???

    My plan is make the bracket sit right on the old spring perch that is connected to the pumpkin. I really cant make a bridge because I have my links and spring buckets allready on and there is NO more room. That is why I am trying to put the brackets on the old spring perch. I thought about...

    Dana 60 tube swap

    The Ford brake calipers are smaller than the Chevys in my experience. Probably depends on year but if you are going to run 15" wheels there is grinding involved.

    Looking for the best Hi lift jack?

    The extreme is all cast and basically is a fancy paintjob. The handle and all the parts are zinc coated so you dont have to worry about them rusting on you. I dont know if its worth another 25 bucks but if you plan on mounting it on a roof rack or bumper where its going to get wet, I think it...

    full hydro steering

    Thats a sweet idea. I never considered just swapping internals on the 727. Thanks! I am partial to Ford motors but know one can complain about a stroked 440. I am going to run my 345 for at least next summer. But I am going to keep my eyes open for a 440 to build.
