I’ll kick this back to the top. - @bubblehead93 - very nice work. but your bed doesn’t appear to be dovetailed. And exhaust is pretty much in stock location. - @98rangerdave - nicely done. no more spare tire, right? bed mount? anybody manage to retain spark tire under the bed? I’d like to...

I have had excellent experience and communication with SVC. Do recommend.

Can I get some detail pics of how you all are running your exhaust? I want to go straight back. In front of tire won't work. Cutting it short under bed won't work. I want a real rear exit exhaust. I'd like to be able to carry a spare underneath, but normally won't. The natural exhaust path...

checks out - 1979 - colorado plate - cool cj-5

My first Jeep was an '81 CJ-7. I took possession in 1996. That was still when Jeeps were a relative novelty with relatively poor reliability. So someone driving a Jeep (at the time YJs were not considered real Jeeps) shared a bond of wrenching and maintaining an odd beast. A Jeep was not a daily...

just please no. we can be friends without waving. it's bad enough the high schools girls, and soccer moms waving at my wrangler (not me). this is the corollary to the fact that my (track prepped) S197 seems to magically attract weird middle aged guys. go figure. I'm also amused by the...

gen1 guy with occasional wet roads has SLIGHT awd envy…

i did shorter blocks on mine. theoretically should get less axle wrap, but can’t tell. i like to tell myself it does. either way, looks great and handles much nicer than stock. @OP - you dropped it 1.5”? so your shackles are 3” over stock?

my neighbor has one in his super low mileage super duty. I keep eyeballing it in case of emergency. if it comes down to it, I could yank it and mail it up to you...

checked the oil in my 130k truck. 3500 miles including an XC trip to Colorado averaging over 80mph. pretty much zero oil consumption. if the valve springs hold up, this sucker shows every sign of doing 200k. at the end of the day, there is something to be said for a big, under stressed...

i agree with corona. stick with the dunes. fire roads in central oregon are no fun. there is nothing to see. no good trails. and no good coffee. covid is everywhere. there are hippies protesting on every corner. we are overrun with californians. there is no snow on the mountains. the passes...

i worked at Warn for eight years. that doesn’t make me an expert. but i’ll share my experience. i’ve been able to do plenty of pulls with actual inline load cells. the average recovery pull is just a couple thousand pounds. rarely more. now this goes up considerably if you sink your F350 up...

I’m not saying you are out of bounds. Not saying you are not well within your rights. Not looking to change anyone’s mind. I do say this with full resp3ct for your choices, and as a (former) LE with zero skin in the game except to be helpful: “depending on the particular officer, this may or...

with all respect, did you ever get pulled over with that setup?

can confirm. although if the barrel is short enough to fit, you may want to consider a pistol caliber.

No. Schwab used to be amazing when the old man was calling the shots. Now they are just another corporate train wreck. Strongly recommend Discount Tire for all your wheel and tire needs.

with all due respect, i would invite everyone who clicked here to check a gear chart. and the see the actual rpm difference at various speeds with 4.10s and 4.30 (or whatever is available) please draw your own conclusions. :-)

just out of curiosity. How many book hours is that job?

Let me get this straight... You ripped your valve springs out, or tried... as PREVENTATIVE maintenance? No signs or symptoms of something amiss. Nothing weird happening? THAT, dear sir, is impressive. Not something I'm going to start doing as a matter of normal course, but impressive...

hey. local boy. WH SOB way back in the day.

l don’t think this thread can go any further without some Tap

i turn mine off. but let’s be real. there are fogs and there are FOGS. if you’re running true off-road lights even pointing them down is pretty harsh on oncoming. so i feel it’s generally polite to not use. if you’re running something stock, sae approved, or low power let your better...

True story. There I was minding my own business as usual in this bar. it was a long time ago. in some asian country far, far away and I think I'm doing pretty well with this mama-san. yes I am 100% confident she was a she. that's a story for another time. anyway, we're getting to it, and she...

Not disagreeing with you at all. with all respect, your post seemed a good jumping off point for humour. :-)

so it would seem ford has learned nothing in between my 2006 expedition and the new raptors. job1 baby!!!! as an aside, i’m super sorry for you experience. it’s gotta suck being let down line that.
