HC, you still around? Just got a dash overlay for my 85 and wondering which one you got and how it turned out?

Well, the MTPs are still sitting at AT waiting for the SAS. However I was going to Yosemite with the Scouts and the 1/2 treat on the old coopers were not going to cut it.
So the local Americas Tire got me a set of Maxxis Rzar 35/12.5-17 for the interm and my budget. Got em on for the trip and I really like em so far.
Great in the snow, didn't even need 4x4 until I was on some ice. They are much quieter than the cooper stt and ride smoother too.
In the long run they may end up on one of the subs, have to see.

A wheel barrel a day or 2 is not bad, but isn't it supposed to be a lot less?
Heating the entire house and hot water is good.

I have setup for the 9.5 front and 4.56 if you go that deep.

So how much wood you burning per day?
6561
« on: December 11, 2018, 07:40:01 PM »
Sometimes the front 02s are not heated and the rears are.
Tuning could fix all that, but 02s are good for closed loop running.

Iirc minimum stair width, unless secondary egress is available is 36 and headroom is 68

Yep, headroom is OK but built them at 32 wide. Not tearing them up now!

How do you get a flat in the snow Tate?

My stairs are 32 and seem fine, but I have plenty of headroom. How much is there now, 5ft?

Guess I should check my spare operation. Got a 35 to hang there but would like it to come down when asked.

That will stick to your ribs, the wall, floor and empty a tabasco bottle to boot.

No bathroom, ouch.
I have a nice bio hazard bottle in my camping gear. Much better than a cold walk at 0 dark thirty.

Can you say why you painted the inside of the intake tube?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Lead based paint, so when it flakes off it will lubricate the injectors.... 
Doesn't TSC have paint made for just that?

The extra power will be nice. Mine never impressed me at all.

The headers will be fun, super tight in there.
So intake and wires today?

Another state?
Main residence or secondary?
At least NV, Id might be a little far for working on it and a might colder than I am looking for. Looked around Garnerville a few years back but nothing really came through. Know a few people in the area to. Would be primary in years to come. I love this state, but it is like a high end sports car, the maintenence is killing me.

I will be looking for property soon. With Newsom coming in as Gov and kids getting older (me too) I need to find someplace to keep ME content.

Are the pre rangers still exempt on the duty roster? A little soot on the hands builds character.

Was in Yosemite this weekend with the boys and scouts. Got there late Friday and setup, in the morning it started to snow. About 6-8 inches and it stayed nice and soft until we left early Sunday.
0* sleeping bag was OK after I got 3 layers on, no tents were cold weather hence the tarps.
New tires were great, rub in just one spot when turned just right (will address). Didn't even need 4x4. Saw a cool adventure RV.
Was kinda purty there if I must say!

I have been looking over these for a while now. Couple have batteries some have separate mounts and seem a little better ($$$)
I even got one last year with scope mount, but wouldn't work with the phone I had.
Can you add a piggyback battery to the phone? Always handy anyway.

Why not just a GM longblock if going that far? Has about all you are doing, just swap the intakes.

Agreeing with most here Don. Add on's will get you going more to your needs. Yes the 6.0 heads are often swapped for 5.3 as they flow better. Heck the 5.3 can do almost 400hp with mild tuning and exhaust.
Another thing is LS exhaust manifolds flow very well. Headers are cool but for your needs and longevity stay with cast. Hooker makes a nice set of coated cat that better than stock.
Do the exhaust, a new cat and throttle body (you have a manual throttle, right?). Headers will get that 25hp, but at 5000 rpm! Have it tuned, add a shift kit and tune the trans so it doesn't defuel as bad and shift.
If you build a motor, look for a 6.2 vs the 6.0. They were rated for around 350 stock and have bushed piston pins. May as well get aftermarket heads if you go that far.
I think 450+hp with good low end torque should be very easy. Plus it is with little to no down time. Even the rear OK for what you want unless you tow something crazy.

Cool a raise, Merry Christmas to me!
HoMeboy sights? At least they are night sights, but how would a holster work?? That is point and shoot range anyway.
Off to load the rig for 2 nights in the snow. This is tent camping to boot.

Sweet trailer.
Got a NTM camera today. Canon SX620. All the good stuff with a 25x optical zoom. Darn battery is doa though and leaving for Yosemite.
Weather has been acting up around here. So much rain they are flooding now where the fires were. Still almost missing with 88 soles lost.
With the Yosemite scout trip coming up I bought new tires for the Dmax. Still doing the SAS but I need to drive this and with 3 vehicles using the same lug pattern they will find a home for sure.
Kept the 2 good coopers for spares, rears had under 1/8 and no snow driving for those.
I gave Americas tire a budget (well a tire) but they would sell it to me as only rated "D", 3k per tire. So they found some Maxxis Razr MT for around the same price that we could get in time AND install today. 35/12.50-17. Starting out at 50f/45r psi and boy do they ride nice so far.
Also noticed a bolt gone from the radiator/intercooler when I was messing with fusses. Hard to notce but they were falling back into the fan, which would not have been a good outcome. One was still on the other side, so snugged it up and got another in with blue loctite this time.
On the power issue, there is none coming from the dist center plug, even pulled the entire block looking for bad wires. Now on a good note that tells me the kennedy pump will flow through if not running.

Did you corner the market on LEDs?
That glock needs night sights,,,,,,,,,,,
You going to add a drawer setup back there? Lots of secure storage and a long gun or 2.
So far I like the direction!

I bought a hammer drill from HF and have beat the crud out of it. It is the bauer SDS max 10.5 amp #63441. I have used it twice now for hours and it never let me down. The go for about $100 on sale, but no bits.

You can also use a small 1001 diode and forward bias the headlight relays in the fuse box.
All on mod on the other forums will give you the details.
Literally a few seconds to do the mod if you just stick the diode in with the relay posts.
Sounds like a plan.

Now your thinking straight on the power needs. Tunes, exhaust/intake and gearing will get you what you need without big bucks and work.
