I got the rust cut out of the rear corner removed and cleaned up. I then sprayed it with weld thru primer since I won't be able to completely access the back side. The replacement piece all cut to fit. Sure am glad a picked up a plasma cutter a couple years back. Clamped in place with...

I've had marathon seat covers in my bronco for over 10 years now and still going strong. I also know people that have used covercraft seat covers and liked them.

Started repairing some more on the passenger rear corner below the tailgate. Removing some metal looking for the solid stuff. Had to cut away another layer of metal. Finally seems I made it to solid metal. I started cleaning things up but this is as far as I got that night. It was...

I've been using Danner 435 boots for a while now. I get good life out of them and have been pretty comfortable. I walk about 3-4 miles a day at work on them and then take em out hiking on the weekends.

I've tried the bedliner but without putting the carpet back in it didn't make a big difference. Maybe the commercial ones that are really thick would be more effective. This time I'm using lizard skin and some 3/8 thick automotive sound insulation. And putting the carpet back in! Should be...

I tend to go more toward a full m/t tire. My wife's Tahoe and my last 2 trucks I've run cooper at3's. they have been great all around tires. Great winter traction on snow and ice. I've yet to be disappointed in them. But, for some silly reason I always gravitate to a more aggressive m/t on...

I'd bet it sounds pretty good. Just seems like around here anyway everybody likes to cut out mufflers and put on chrome exhaust tips and pretend they have a race car. I once drove a truck for 3 months with open headers while I saved up for the rest of the exhaust! Overpasses and tunnels would...

To me it all depends on if it sounds good. Loud just to be loud or crappy popping crackling exhaust I can do without. Now the nice low rumble of actual power I have no problem with. My f250 has 3 inch mandrel bent exhaust and a high flow straight through muffler but it isn't very loud. The...

And the passenger side went a lot quicker. Cut off and seam welded and ground down. Rod welded it and smoothed out. And a couple after some sanding. All in all it was a fun modification that really served no purpose other than to remove some rust. Now I guess it's time to get...

Got a little more work done this week. Decided to just cut the drip rails off and figure something out. Drivers side cut off and the seem welded up. So I ended up with a big gap at the top of the door so I picked up some metal rod and positioned it to fill the gap. I kept it out a little...

Does this count?

Finally got a little more time in the garage. I made some reinforcement pieces to put in the B pillars. I thought I had some photos of them when I was making them but Apparently not. That is the divers side. They are welded to 3 sides of each panel so it should be less likely to crack...

Now it would seem that most people on here are interested in using their vehicles for relatively safe and reliable recreation. What drives me nuts is the guy behind you coming down the mountain in his 1 ton diesel truck pulling a 10,000 pound camper with a brand new set of $15 brake pads! But...

It all comes into play for safety and reliability. Go beyond the gvw and you can severely affect your braking and handling. Also Have you ever checked the weight rating of your tires and wheels? They are not equal. I've seen a lot of people with half ton trucks pulling trailers and hauling...

Thanks, some good info here. We've been using paper egg cartons with wood shavings from the chain saw and melting wax over them. Tempting to try mixing in the petroleum jelly to see if they burn longer. Also going to have to make some of yours. They would take up less space.

I had brought home some paint to do some spray outs of the paint ideas we had. So I decided to test in on the quarter panel so we could see it more full size. This is the factory colors. Taped, sanded and primed. We picked the main color we wanted. but I wanted to try some ideas for a...

You can barley see them but there is a small crack just above the seam. Unfortuanatly I may have to replace a small section to get rid of the rust on this side. I cut another access hole on the passenger side. so I could get in and clean it all up and then reinforce it. Cleaned the...

The drivers side is worse and looks to have been replaced at one point. When I took the top off you could see that the previous replacement panel wasn't fitted the best. Rust on the back side. I cut an access panel on the inside. I was told once that to stop cracks like this you...

The top corners before the fiberglass top are prone to cracking over time on these. Turns out I have some to repair on the drivers side and a least a small rust spot to repair on the passengers side. Rust on the Passenger side. When I pulled to top back I found a crack in the seam which is...

I have a quipall brand one I purchased from one of our suppliers at work. I has worked very well for the last 3 years. Just make sure it has sufficient amp output for your needs. Look at the continuous output more than the max output. I have found that if you leave it in the vehicle during...
