    anyone make their own shifter?

    Ditto. The Chebby's I've done will stay put just fine also. Steer away from cables, they'll just break and cause you problems. Build a good linkage (I know, PITA), and you'll only do it once.

    pickup mileage??

    Gasser maybe 6 or so guarts of oil, compared to 10 or more in the diesel, and generally they like to pork ya an extra buck or two for that "special" diesel filter. Also, if you're wise, you're changing that fuel filter often! Not a big worry on a gasser, so I think twice as much isn't that far...

    pickup mileage??

    All your points are valid. I'll give you my expierence. My CTD is on it's third set of fuel pumps at 230K (hard) miles. That's $1400 or $1700 (sorry, cant remember exactly) a pop, and not exactly a do-it-yerselfer job. At this same time on our gassers, I'll be well into me second engine, but...

    pickup mileage??

    If you look closely, you'll see that same guy laughing at you for paying thousands more than he did initially, and more at the pump, not to mention maintenance costs. Gas or diesel, it's sixes. What ever suits your needs is what you want. Don't underestimate what you need. You wont be happy...

    pickup mileage??

    See below...... :D Any full sized small block and I think you'll be happy. Big block, or diesel, and you'll be happier. Don't buy a mini-truck (Yes, I include Dakota's in that). They may pull it, but it'll make an old man outta ya, and who wants to be mentally exhausted when you get...

    Does this sound like a scam to you???

    Does this sound like a scam to you???

    How's this sound for a scam...... I'm selling A ground up restored 72 Chebby 4X4 on E Bay... Here's how it went down: He contacts me from the Virgin Islands, wants to give me my way overpriced Buy-It-Now price. Cashier check on it's way, then I'll have to ship it to his vineyard in...

    Does this sound like a scam to you???

    I'd go ahead and reply to him. As long as he's not asking for any personal information, I can't see any harm in it.

    XJ help....

    Hey, I saw this ugly old lifted blue and silver XJ today. Had some custom bumpers on it too. Your old beast still alive? If not, it's got a twin.

    Wiring 220v into garage?

    Peice o cake from what you've described. How big is the main breaker, and how many spare slots are left in your box (you'll need two)?

    school me on tiny welders

    $50???? That'll buy a lot of super glue for tacking. If your're looking for a cheapy, plan on $200 for something in the range of junk. My hobart was close to $600.

    school me on tiny welders

    Dont waste your money.... I've got a good old Hobart 110V that I love. The diodes are bad, so I picked up a Lincoln for what the price of a diode replacement would be...... I thought "score", since it weighed about half of the Hobart, and it's just for trail repairs. They are rated at...

    4Runner progress

    I like that exhaust exiting out the rear window! :D You need anything to get it street worthy? I've got a few odds and ends you're welcome to. Now, you've got to shorten it! Drive it, don't sell it. Time to play a bit, you can ALWAYS work!
