I can't say much about the other brands since I have no personal experience with them. I have plenty with the safety seal brand. Stick with a kit that comes with metal handled tools. the plastic will break. Back when I worked in the shop we had a kit in each tow truck. All safety seal we...

I too have some of the RV blocks. I'd just use them but I don't have a RTT. And since I already have some for the camper I'd just bring them. Cheep and easy to use.

Yea, I don't have any plans on getting rid or it. It has yet to let me down. A little cleaning here and there and ready to go. One of the lanterns is from when my mom was a kid and the other is only 20ish years old.

Then it was back to the drip rail delete project. After some epoxy primer and some filler on both sides. I had a few dings on the passenger side I smoothed out as best as I could with wood and a hammer. Then some filler to smooth it out the rest of the way. Drivers side was in better...

Managed to get some filler on the rear panel and some sanding done. And after some more primer and some finishing glaze it was time more sanding! Then it was time for some cleanup and to seal it up. Turned out pretty good. To bad I'll probably scratch it up or dent in with a year or...

2 good old colmen lanterns and some headlamps. The kids each have a led lantern too. Someday maybe we'll up date but the classics just keep working. We have a fair bit of camp and cooking gear that I got from my grandparents when they stopped camping. So some is over 50 years old.

Removed to bracket that the old spare tire carrier mounted to and cut out some rusty cracked metal. First patch tacked in place First patch welded up and smoothed out. Second patch tacked in place. Cleaned up and sanded. And added some epoxy primer to the mix to seal every...

The first 2 pieces of this section back in. I had to remove them to get access to the rusty metal behind them. Another replacement piece fitted and welded. I decided to put holes in the one side for access to push some seam sealer in. Cleaned up and ready. It looks like a mess but...

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...
