    Hi-Lift Jack!

    This little guy showed up today! Now, if I only had time to play with it. Things might settle down in a couple weeks and I'll get to take it out. I honestly didn't know if I should get the 48" or the 60" but I figured being a full size truck, the 60's would probably be better. The thing sure...

    Roof Rack RetroFit ?

    CB or HAM?

    As the great poet Shakespeare once pondered, "CB or not to CB, HAM is the real question?" I have a fairly dutiful old CB that is about to be retired. Since I found Overlanding I honestly haven't used it much and since I'm in the middle of this build I'm questioning if I should go CB or HAM? I...

    Are 5 Lugs enough?

    What are your thoughts on Lug patterns? Ford used to have a 5x135 on their Trucks (My year body style) but went to 6 lugs on the newer models. Larger vehicles are 8 lug, what do you all prefer for your size Rigs. Have you even thought about it? Is 5 enough or do large Quarter Ton and bigger...

    Polyurethane Bushings

    How many of you have changed your bushing and used Polyurethanes instead of the standard rubber? I have always went with Poly bushings in my hotrods but I'm not sure how they'd stand up vs. something like a better designed Moog part.  I'm referring mostly to the front end but have any of you...
