    Big 3 diesel trucks comparison

    I have a 2020 Powerstroke that I wouldn’t hesitate one second to buy again. It has absolutely been trouble free since new with only maintenance. I think it has about 130k on it now. It’s never had a wrench turned on it otherwise besides installing a 55 gal tank. Plenty of power, quiet ride...

    What did you do to / in your garage / shop today?

    We smoke a lot of shoulders for parties and such, people love it and I can’t think of a cheaper way to feed a lot of people. That being said, after the daughter’s graduation and shredding 5 shoulders with claws I bought one of these. I can now have a shoulder shredded in less than a minute.

    The Silver Fox LJ Build

    I have a spare TJ soft top frame and door surrounds you could have if you wanted to just get a replace a top skin for the TJ. Not sure how well it would disassemble for shipping though. You’re welcome to it if we want to try.

    I could possibly be in for a weekend Holy Cross run, but I’ve had some job changes come up the last few weeks, so during the week is probably out for me for the rest of this year.

    Nashville TJ's Build - Continued

    I made a very simple trunk and just use tool bags to keep things organized. One for recovery gear, one for spare small parts, one for fluids, one for loose hand/specialty tools. When I’m loaded for wheeling it’s packed tight enough that it doesn’t move around. It’s secure enough with the...

    “Sim shock” for cycling suspension for outboard

    Damn I wish I would have thought of that. I came in to drop the tip that if you have a SwayLoc to not buy heims for mockup as they take a 1/2” bolt and the studs are 1/2-20, so I just welded some nuts in my mock up square tubing and borrowed the SwayLoc rod ends for mock up. I spent way too...

    Blue Betty Rambalam (Inked Build)

    Thanks for the tips. When I ordered the gear I talked myself out of getting the .210 torsion rod because of the old pump. I kept the shipping box with the intention of sending the gear out for a different rod if I upgraded pumps down the road. I’m happy with it for now, and was able to use up...
