Yep, that is what I have too. I am looking now for the adapter to move the axle forward and inch. It will help with clearance for the tall wheels which the GMs are not famous for.
Running 6 inch springs in the front and moving it all forward some will help with wheelbase and when the cummins goes in. I understand the steering and the pan get close.
Funny thing is when I just got my interior parts the guy had 2 drivers drop dana 70s. My mind when wild for a few moments about those.

Not quite -- they're still around, albeit a lot fewer stores -- I'm lucky to still have one right up the street. They're mostly cell phone storefronts for Sprint now.
Yep, I did hear a few would stay around to sell phones. I found RS had so little and were so $$$ I ordered on line for most things anyway.

Sounds great Nate. Bet you got a better deal to boot, need pics.

Actually the F18 Super Hornet was introduced about 20 years ago (square inlets and still to old) and still being produced today.
It was based off the original Hornet built in 1978.
On your crossover I am interested as the burb gets it too. Not sure on the tierod yet but I have all that too. I understand the center tierod is less stress, but the high steer gets less damage.
I would say have at least as much thread as the tubing diameter for max strength. 3/4 adjustment is OK, but a little more won't hurt.

When I went to Canada a couple times I always timed it to miss rush hour there. I thought SF was a mess!!!!!

Changed the oil in the dmax.

I would like to know too. Long term storage would be a plus.

Glad you had good trip. House looks OK but if they are like Ca you cannot charge 1st and last. Dogs, well I have dealt with as a owner, I don't rent anymore.
The rest sounds good. You up there out of the heat?

Good start and sure there are tweaks to come. I notice red dog is not talked about a lot now, is he farmed out?
I have been thinking about making soft tops for my trailers.
Just a rail on the edge with posts welded on. Bend some 3/4 conduit that plugs into them and tarp over the top. Easy on, easy off and protects whats inside. Getting a custom cover shouldn't be very pricey either.

Nice score both ways. 12v is nice but can be slow when real flow is needed. Maybe a small gas pump would be nice for those times when flow in needed.
And what is wrong with a long shower now and then??

Sounds like a good approach.

I understand the easements and access issues. It gets cloudy between civil and penal and everyone thinks they are right.
Be sure to include collecting for your legal fees in a counter suit, but any good attorney should know that.
Good luck and prayers,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Yep, those portable liquid skids are handy and stout.

If your keeping the same gears you should be fine. You need a dial indicator on the housing with the tip on the ring in the same direction it rotates.
Do not allow the pinion to move and move the ring gear back and forth, that is your backlash. To adjust for more, move away from the pinion, less closer.
Then you still check the pattern using a visible coating looking for a mid tooth contact on the rounded side (drive side). I would look to video for patterns and you will see how it should look.

Well, at least he mentioned SD,,,,,,,,,,,,
Sparks? do tell
No real story
He wired the thing
threw the switch
and Bang
Probably the only thing I ever saw him do incorrectly.
Now his daughter, driving off in a creek in his sequoia, that's a different story!
We still need pics,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,of BOTH!!!

Good Score!
So are you up to that level of work now...Healing apparently going quite well it seems!
It is more than a stumble than a walk. But have cleaned the garage some, done an oil change and broke in my new Gen (review to follow). Still have the brace for another 2 weeks.

As I am moving about some now, I searched CL and found a full rear interior, 3rd seat with belts and a Hydroboost about an hour away. In the right color and good shape for a 25 year old sub. He had on built up too with a 60 front, 56 front springs and H1 tires on dually hubs. Looked nice.
Guy was cool and tore it all out as I was there cept for the boost, so I got all the trim and screws to mount it up easier.

With all that storage and your ground water, a small solar pump would keep it topped off in the dry months.
Best filters in the world, by mother nature!

What, no weathertechs!! Mine are nice.
At least he doesn't tear it up, just gets its doggy,,,,,,,,,,,

Why not build a filter from rock/sand/gravel and filter it all. Heck a good 5 gallon bucket would do that

Ouch for a $30 part. I have a line on one out here for about free, just come get it. I don't have the room or time.

« on: April 28, 2016, 03:44:31 PM »
I like that and sure it could be setup where it is not all above ground, but not buried eother. 1/3 the price is good to boot.

Well, besides the bumping I just made it a sticky,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Maybe a small hovercraft? I see kits and used ones all the time. Anytime, any weather, ice or not.
Either that or a Chinook,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I have heard of those trains before. Must be messy wrecks and a long wait for help.
Beer, thats what we hauled. Blew 2 rear tires once at 80+, looked like a grenade went off where the tires ripped through the floor.

As I said, you brute.
I push started a semi with mine once, 80k, filled with Budwiser.

Don't tell me those 518s are weak, that is what I have. Keep toying with the idea of upgrading it or the whole thing.

Wish I could find the pic of my dads 34 getting lifted out of a field in socal by a 53.
I was building a radio control 46 in the red/white like the 47 above. Lost in house fire.

You could see the seepage around mine.
10784
« on: April 26, 2016, 11:01:43 PM »
With the grade you have there, along with the water just a good leach line should do. Just pointed away from your water!
Yep, video or it didn't happen. Got a review on my new Gen coming up, butt I can't find my scale!!
10785
« on: April 26, 2016, 09:38:52 PM »
So it wasn't a hit n run then. Things do happen!

Get r done!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess he didn't get the job,,,,,,,,,,
I got some of the same adds, the BAR for 120K is just right!

« on: April 26, 2016, 08:12:50 PM »
I bet you were more than tempted to finish it off rather than just a hole.
Looks like you have quite pile of debris to clear up, more work for the jaws.

Well, here was my repair. No issue since then,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, http://real-man-truckworks-and-survival.com/index.php?topic=1164.new#new

Looks good but it does need bigger tires.
Why would SD need a fuel tank???
10791
« on: April 26, 2016, 10:28:03 AM »
I think all that hasn't needed a full going over is the engine in that thing. If you get the same use out of the rebuilt parts as when new, it should last another lifetime.

I have no ides what is in our freezer. Oh sure I can see what is right in front, but there are so many little bags of something that get shoved back I have given up.
Then the leftovers in the fridge, 1/2 cup of this and that not worth even saving and much gets green before eaten. Then she saves every plastic bag she gets!! I throw away 20 or so every week she stuff in every nook and cranny in the fridge and the pantry.

Yep, gone now and I missed all the fun,,,,,,,,,,,,,

« on: April 26, 2016, 12:02:55 AM »
I wouldn't sweat it, but I would get some out. That is only about 10% over so no to bad.
I wish mine ran the cool. I have done the flip mod on the cooler and still get into the low 200* easy when towing.
10795
« on: April 25, 2016, 11:58:19 PM »
Remember the little fitting on the pump I did? Mine was doing the same thing. Turn but no start, pump it and run.
Wasn't hard to do, but a lot of work.

« on: April 24, 2016, 07:00:09 PM »
Hate when I do that (locked out) But I have key pads on the garage door.

On the toilet seat issue. At my house it is a non issue, leave it as you use it or close the lid.
They have no more right to have the seat down than we do to leave it up.
I even heard some lady on the radio complain about it the other day, really?
If someone needs it that bad, buy an automatic seat or don't complain.

I have build 100's of semi trailer and semi hubs. No clips, no reverse cups, nothing. They can't come loose and hardly ever fail. Why GM did about the reverse of that is crazy.

My oldest girl just turned 14, there are days........ It's definitely a fine line being a Dad & still keeping them communicating with you their Dad.
& yeah they (girls) do not know what clean means
Mine is 13 and thinks she is 20 something and GOD (forgive me) there are days,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Unfortunately, we have a lying issue with all 3. Not sure where they got it from and they don't see it at all.
