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

    Getting ready to do a stretch job, this 104'' wheelbase can be challenging at times, its gonna end up around 110" to 113" depending on what gives me the best coil over angle, The worst part is its gonna have to have all 4 of the aluminum links replaced at $7.70 a inch completely threaded with...

    The decline of restaurants and eating out

    Groceries must be a lot cheaper where you live or you grow your own vegetables and kill your on meat, it is about a wash for us to eat out . We are fortunate to have several local owned restaurants that have good food, decent portions and excellent service (most of these are cash only). We do...

    Thoughts on Torx and hex driver sockets

    I have some Matco and Snap On Torx and allen sockets that are close to 40 years old, you can use them in a semi stripped fastener and most of the time they will remove it. Buy once, cry once as the ole saying goes.

    Rock sliders

    Here's a set I just built for my rig, they serve two purposes, one of them is so I can get my old ass in it. I actually angled them down to gain me a few inches when I put the 43s on

    Rock sliders

    When we build our sliders we use DOM tubing for the sliders and the boat sides, we also add 3/4" UHMW or Nylon to the tubing on the boat sides so they will slide over the rocks,logs or whatever, but we definatley use the tubing to pivot and drag over the rocks. I wheel all over the mid-south and...

    Rock sliders

    If you have a welder and the skills, get some .120 or .188 DOM and some flat plate and make your own. That way you can have something other than the cookie cutter type that most other guys have. You don't have to have a bender you can make angled cuts on the side bars and weld some plugs in the...

    Tennessee Taste of Tennessee Wheelin'

    Couple of pictures that really don't show how steep this is, the last picture is the infamous Crack Head. Nobody made it the time, the rocks were covered with a fine layer of dust that denied Reds and TSL 43 stickies.

    Channellock, Klein or Knipex?

    I like the Knipex side cutters/diagonals and the bolt cutters, its hard to beat Snap-On for all of my other pliers needs. It was a plus having them come to me before I retired.

    I am to late to the party to give any advise but no more than you will use it and have to store and maintenance it my advise would have been to rent one, I have a 2017 W40 Work and Play that is stored inside and used once a year to go to the NHRA drag races in Bristol TN. It is perfect for my 3...

    Tennessee Taste of Tennessee Wheelin'

    Just got back from there 4 weeks ago, it was perfect weather and traction and as a added bonus they have dirt track racing on Friday night. I would be down for going there anytime as it is only a little over an hour from my house.

    First car?

    There are many options that would be a better choice for a first vehicle, Jeeps drive like Jeeps do because of several different reasons and young drivers are probably not up to the challenge in my opinion.Both of my kids started out in Ford Explorers then graduated to 4 Runners Although my...

    Boots

    Sears Die Hard mid cut garage oxfords are my shop/chore shoes, been wearing them over 45 years. Still got a pair of the green leather Browning hunting boots for warm weather hunting, I use Obenhauf's leather dressing on all my leather goods and shoes as it really makes a big difference.
