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...

I have a stream light strion led flashlight with the lithium ion rechargeable battery. you can get spare batteries for it and its worked well for me every day for the last 5 years.

Thanks. Plenty more to do yet. Hopefully with Christmas almost here and most hunting seasons over I'll have more free time to get back on it.

I can look but I believe a little over $230. Not cheep but better than trying to clean up my nasty falling apart stuff. If you get it I'd skip the bolts for the middle 3 mounts all they send is some grade 8 regular bolts you can buy at any hardware store. But the ones for the core support and...

Haven't done much on it lately been taking care of some stuff around the house and doing some hunting. I did get some work done on replacing the body mount bushings with some from energy suspension. I started putting them together only to remember I planed to paint the hardware. I...

At the moment I just use a tool bag from the local hardware store. But of the 3 you show I'd say the arb. they don't generally skimp on quality. I do like both the back pack and hard side case ideas though. May have to do some thinking. We usually always have a back pack with us. So I...

Warn 16.5ti. It's overkill but when ever it hooks up to something it will move one way or another.

They get the job done. And even with just a few changes you'd be surprised what they can do. I'm currently building my second bronco that will become my daily driver and our adventure mobile as the kids call it.

I have an old F-250 extended cab long box that we use for pulling and hauling mostly. I once was heading down a forest road/trail and came across some people in side by sides and they couldn't believe I'd try and take a truck like that down this trail. They told me it gets way to narrow to...

It's looking good. Can't beat a deal like that on the factory skid plates.

Turns out I have 3 rusted off body mount bolts. So I now have bolts and new body mount bushings ordered. Oh well. I have a few broken seat bolts to remove as well. Hopefully I'll be able to weld nuts on the bolts and work them out.

I did my bronco inside and out about 15 or so years ago. Never peeled any off. It's all in the prep work and selecting a good product. I used durabak and it worked well. They make a uv stable one I used on the exterior. The most important thing is the prep work when doing either paint or...

Looks like a good time with the family.
