I saw a quote once about the front H3 axles that made me spit coffee out of my mouth, it kind of applies here... "H3 front axles are like drunk cheerleaders, just use them up, and get a new pair." I just couldn't resist sharing that... Hope you don't mind... LOL

I was going to do an LS, but I REALLY wanted a diesel because they never came with one, then when I started looking into that OM606 and found out they run all the way up to 5500 in stock, unmodified form, and make mountains of torque, I was hooked. And so I sold the Chevy, but it was to be that...

I completely agree with you on the chalk test, after a while you get really used to what you're running, rig and tire wise, and it becomes second nature. But if you switch vehicles you have to start over. My little YJ was "spool welded" in the rear and never saw much pavement, so it stayed at 25...

THAT looks like a great time..! And you're right, it'll always evolve won't it... LOL, I just need to focus on the drivetrain, I keep getting sidetracked, and I really want to add a high clearance, tube framed trailer like the one that Yeti built and pulled behind his Jeep, his design is genius...

LOL..! I am totally jealous..! Ryan: "I'm just going to leave this right here... maniacal laughter" Me: "I seriously need to get my gear together, and NO, I'm not crying..! These are allergy tears..!" Ha ha ha..! Sent from my SM-T377R4 using OB Talk mobile app

I TOTALLY agree with you, I always do fluids from the word go, for exactly the same reasons. They just weren't going to pay, not even for a rebuild, they were against even discussing it from the beginning honestly. It was a solid lesson for me about buying a "certified" used vehicle. My...

Originally, I only changed the oil, then after feeling it slip on the drive to Madison, that's when I changed the fluid and filter in the transmission. That's where their argument of changing my oil made the warranty invalid came from.

Hey Gregory, yes, I did actually do all the fluids. Flushed the radiator with the "special fluid" they sent me, the trans fluid and filter, oil, diff fluid, I even had the brake fluid changed because it was too dark to see through. Their stand was two fold, and it worked for them. First, it was...

Or... I could back half the GMC frame, weld in a 4 link kit, and drop the Cavalier body on top, then boatside the frame and body together, and have a 4 WD buggy... That might be different enough to be cool if I did it right...

Okay, it's been dumping snow like iced diarrhea espressos here, and I've got a blown head gasket in the GMC. Now, I didn't blow the head gasket in the GMC, I bought it as a toy, to take all the body off of, and build as a tube framed cab, to run up against trees, rocks, and through mud pits. I...

I just took my daughter to look at a Wrangler sport like that..! I had the TJ as a driver and a YJ as a trail rig, but that was about 5 years ago... I'm a jeep fan for sure..!

W O W..! LOL

This is such a great build... Sent from my SM-J320R4 using OB Talk mobile app

I'll be making it up that way this coming fall I hope, thanks for the heads up on that..! The last thing I want is to have to get your local enforcement pissed at me..! LOL Sent from my SM-J320R4 using OB Talk mobile app

I actually ordered the euro triangle reflectors from "mep1187" over in the gear, or parts for sale section. Then the truck flaps will actually just be a cut to fit piece like you'd see on the back of a tractor trailer. I'm cutting the rear of the H3 up pretty high, so I want to be sure I have...

Okay, no problem whatsoever, it'll be here for a few more days, they always stick around a week longer than expected... LOL

BWAH HA HA HA..! Y E S...!

Genius..! I totally dig it Hank, thanks for the pics too, now I gotta try it...

Thank you Steve, very cool of you..!

For the H3 I'm just going to do GIGANTIC "slip in a tube" semi truck flaps with a big euro triangle on them, instant on and off kind of a thing...
