What slides are everyone using? I have a Dometic CF50 and with the new stance of my truck a slide will be more beneficial. My biggest problem is that I am limited in depth to something like 29" if I recall correctly. I am also limited on width if I keep it on the side I want to keep it on but...

Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback. Always looking for something new to do but running out of ideas.

Well after 8 years of wheeling the Alpha the torsion bars had pretty much worn out and could not hold the truck up. It would not settle completely done but could not hold the front end up after it had been raised, would settle back down within a short drive. Looked at the options available such...

Decided it was time to utilize more of the space in the cargo door and redo my storage back there. Here you can see after I had originally cut the trim the amount of space that is lost due to brackets that aren't really needed anymore such as for the jack. So I trimmed what I knew was no...

She is definitely much taller now and the 35s are starting to look a little small. I expect the back to settle a little bit, an inch or two but I am fine with that. Putting a few miles on her to help the rear settle to it's final height then will take some measurements to...

It was finally time to do my long awaited spring over in the rear. Have been running the Rancho leaf springs for about 16 months and of course they sagged pretty quickly. Purchased new spring perches, spring plates and shock tabs from Ruff Stuff. Was originally going to replace the stock from...

With the Rancho lift dropping the front diff 4" the CV on the front drive shaft tends to wear a lot quicker. There are a couple of options out there to upgrade, Outfitter Design now offers a replacement HD front drive shaft and Thor parts offers an adaptor plate so that you can order your own...

Not really a mod but a fix that many of us will run into if you have not already. There was a recall on the fake hood vent due to the clips failing and the vent flying off. Their solution was to glue it down which I didn't want done so I just had them mark the recall as done. Mine finally...

Finally got around to installing the ARB Differential Breather Kit I have had on my work bench for months. As well as the standard breather kit I also ordered their kit with additional tubing and fittings to vent the transfer case and transmission along with the diffs. I looked at a lot of...

Changed out the rear bumper for the Thor Parts rear. It's a very solid and well designed bumper. First I made a bracket to move my license plate to the spare tire and ran the wiring for the lights. The bracket uses the existing threaded holes in the wheels used for assembly. Might go back and...

Have not been on for a while so thought I would do some updating on my build thread. When I build the drawer system and moved my tools down from the Pelican case on the Gobi rack I removed the case but still needed someplace to store spare parts like the CV axles. I didn't want to store them in...

Nice H3. Keep the build going, it never ends :astonished:

Had not been on in a while so just catching up, nice H3.

If you ever decide to do a dual battery system don't sell yourself short, it really is pretty easy.

I am not positive as I have a different brand but I don't believe they do have the battery protection or at least didn't in previous years. I had to jump start a friend of mines rig because his killed his battery and he was worried about it so would have had it set if it had the feature. You...

60K on my '09 H3 Alpha. Was my daily driver until a couple of years ago, now it's the toy. Was asked recently by a friend what percentage I would say was road versus off road mileage. I estimate that at lest 20% of my mileage is either off road or on the way to or from the trails.

I originally purchased a couple of the 20oz tumblers then the 20 quart cooler. Was very happy with it so purchase the 45 which I have not used yet. I also ordered a couple of the spill proof lids for the tumblers but don't really like them.

Very nice. My brother in-law just bought one he is rebuilding, think it's a '73 as well. I have a '74 Scout II Half Cab I need to get started working on.
