PPA-CF is my intention. Has a temp resistance higher than what the reservoir bodies "should" get to. Seems worth trying. in other news - I'm beginning to start on the back half. Started by welding up all the holes in the cab wall from removing the OE full tank. Then I added clevises to the rear...

I just noticed... but how come the center ribs in your breams are oriented parallel to the ground instead of vertically? Seems like you've got them going the weak way for the direction I'd expect most of the load. The factory old school I-beams are shaped like an I for a reason

^mikey nailed it. The 350 single rates are just dinged up loaners from the homies at Accutune to figure out corner weight so we can order the right stuff later. I just wanted the mental win of setting it on its own weight - I know these aren't final. Aside - Accutune has been helpful yet again...

I basically just pieced together OnX trails since we threw this trip together in a bit of a rush. Parker : Signal (we had intended to go via dirt all the way to wickenburg but all the stuff we ended up in trying to go east out of the Havasu area was all very slow going up/down a bunch of canyons...

that console is excellent. nicely done

correct - it's easier to cover ground in Baja compared to Arizona due to the openness & terrain in mexico. For example - driving down that creek bed full of rocks for ~10 miles took us hours. but 10 miles in baja can be over in ~1/2 hour ish most of the time. the other huge difference is that...

Between xmas & new years a couple of buddies decided to try this route... we started in palm desert and went through Joshua tree then east all the way to flagstaff. Stops in Parker, Crown King, Sedona, and finally flagstaff. Spent new years eve in Flag. Saw some cool stuff, rock crawled a little...

Long time, no post. End of the year chaos. Painting & reassembly still in progress. Mocked up the ram assist cylinder for the first time & found out the tabs on my drag link were incorrectly located. The good news is that this whole steering system was developed by Andrew Cho and he operates...

this might be my new favorite expression

badass. that steering wheel is a solid come-up! assuming it's original ford that thing is worth big $

Despite me acknowledging that I'll make the tab bigger - does anybody else want to point out that the tab is going to crack? also, i love that idea to couple the 2 pipe segments with a silicone coupler, thank you! that kart bracket is also awesome. if they have it in 4" that's a solid contender.

yeah, i heard you the first time, thanks.

Sorry but i'm not sure that's any better except you contact more area? in my eyes a hose clamp with a bracket & a tab with a bolt are the same constraint. I think the problem is that it's hard mounted at the cage & the engine will bounce under torque. I have an idea to fix that using a small...

Got my Walker Performance Filtration air cleaner in so I wanted to figure out the intake piping. Running out of space up here quickly. Kinda wanted to get this thing out from behind the hot radiator so I came up with this using 4" vibrant aluminum parts. i'm annoyed that one is polished & one is...

Bent tubes on the passenger side to get the lacing in. Still can't remove the header with these tubes. But maybe once I'm done modifying the frame for the exhaust flange it'll be possible. if not, worst case is the header will have to come off once the engine gets picked up for removal and then...
