The left continually attacks anything that doesn't support today's agenda.

What are you building? / Our House
« on: June 26, 2017, 03:26:25 PM »
Greetings all!

I don't get around to posting often, but I do spend a lot of time reading about what everyone else has going on always appreciate the sharing of knowledge. 

I figured it was time to start my own thread to share our latest and biggest adventure to date. 

My wife and I have been planning and dreaming about this house for over 10 years and we are blessed to be able to make this happen. 

God is Good!

Here are the plan drawings of the house.  We plan to stick with most of the design elements in these drawings.

Looking for some advice and discussion as I ponder swapping the 3.42s in my 2013 Ram CTD to possibly 4.10s along with a new locker or limited slip option.  Not something I've ever done, but I refuse to be beaten and I'll never learn how by paying someone. 

I've run the handy ratio calculator Don posted and feel like the 4.10s should put me about where I'd like to be running 35s.  It looks like the Yukon Dura Grip might be the best option for me.  I'll be deleting and programming the truck in the new few months and I think this is the perfect project to go along with those updates. 

Should I be looking at additional upgrades for the front diff? 

Any advice, warnings, teachin' or criticism would be greatly appreciated.

Tires, Wheels, and Suspension / 2.5" Level and 35x12.5R18 Toyo R/Ts

I finally got around to putting some new rubber on my truck.  So far I'm very happy with these Toyos.  They ride smooth and are very quite for the aggressive tread design.  Time will tell the rest of the story, but they appear to be a great A/T M/T alternative.

Drones, Boats, Flying and Floating Things / It's too quiet here!
« on: May 03, 2015, 06:03:45 PM »
Here are a few pics of my boat.  It isn't really a survival craft, but it is very versatile and it gets the family out on the water together.

The boat is a Bay Charger 2230L with some custom touches we requested.  Total weight on the trailer with fuel and provisions for a day on the water is around 6,000 lbs.  It will run up to 70 mph with a light load which makes beating a storm back to the dock much easier. 







The boat also has snap-in carpet (not shown in the pics) for those hot days out playing on the water.

Drones, Boats, Flying and Floating Things / Boat cleaning tip
« on: May 03, 2015, 05:31:35 PM »
The last time I had my boat out I pulled it home in the rain and needless to say it was a mess.  It was late and I did't bother cleaning it up.  I'm sure you've all dealt with road grime it can be hard to get off and add to that the turd line (as I like to call it) from Lake of the Ozarks and you have a real mess on your hands.

So the boat has been sitting for a week with all that crud just getting baked on.  I've also picked up several marks from docks, shoes, and the bow roller on this spring's fishing trips. 

So after Church today I set out to get it clean.  I know everyone has their favorite products, I usually just stick to a high quality boat wash and wax as well a good vinyl cleaner (I really like Mothers).  Recently after a good soapy wash I've been looking for something to take off light scratches, stains and marks. I've discovered Magic Eraser works amazingly well.  You can now find it in the autocare section in most stores.  It will remove light surface scratches, marks from docks, shoes, your bow roller, stains and oil residue, as well as the dirt that makes deeper scratches show up more.  Over all I've been amazed with how well it works. I would recommend an application of a quality wax or polish after extensive use of the eraser as it can seem to leave a slight haze in areas that require a lot of elbow grease. 

Many of you may already be using it, but if you aren't give it a shot. It's a good item to have on hand.

Site Rules & Introductions / Thanks Don!
« on: September 18, 2014, 02:47:38 PM »
I thought I would take a second to introduce myself here on the new site.  I've been following along on duramaxforum since nearly the beginning.  I don't post but I have sent a private message or two back and forth with Don.

I for one appreciate what you're doing here Don and am greatly looking forward to reading, sharing and getting to know you all as time passes.

Tommy
