I am not a premium member nor do I have an interest in a free possum...although I hear they are good eatin'...

Nice! Ugly trucks stick out like sore thumbs. Planning on it in the spring time. Need to make sure work is more secure before I commit to buying lots of diesel fuel. Where is the Mess Hall and what topic would you like it to be? I'm thinking like pictures of military trucks next to boats???

No excuses needed for looking at boats! A GB is a GO boat...if 8 knots cruise is considered GO :) Then again mine in its current configuration is a go nowhere boat!

The biggest thing is not really the lift height. It's getting the axle away from the firewall. You will need to trim regardless but the zero rate will really help since one inch forward means two inches bigger tire. Don't forget that stock push/pull steering combined with a zero rate is not a...

A 14 bolt full floater not so much. The pinion depth is shim adjustable on the removable section. The carrier has threaded adjusters. Really the only hard part is setting pinion bearing preload because the crush collar requires lots of leverage (ie. big mf'n bar) to get it to begin crusing. Of...

Thats a nice looking ride. The brushguard looks like it belongs to a P38 Range Rover. I agree, if you have never done a gear swap I wouldn't. Lots of knowledge, specialty tools, and experience are required even if you are pretty mechanically inclined. Of course I state this in doing the job...

I think because those are the bias ones which probably suck on the street. My radial Goodyears see pretty much all street use and are pretty decent. I run no weights so I have to watch tire wear. I own a set of centramatic balance rings but have yet to install them due to rim clearance. Gotta...

I would caution the regear to...unless you are really over revving on the highway you can never really have too much gear. Plus it is rather expensive to regear correctly.

I used to go wheeling out by you Rick, long gone are the days of Paragon Park :( These cold temps will really cause havoc if you have multiple systems starting to fail. Really go through your batteries, charging, starting, GP, and fuel delivery systems. Any one will cause a hard start because...

Thanks man!

You guys figuring like a week out or a month out? Any thoughts on what you want to do? Just a quick local ride or maybe some dirt action?

Uh, they say 'MILITARY' on the sidewall...

I run mine for size, price point, and durability only. I do not really wheel my truck but the little amount I have, I would probably go with something newer if that was the case. Maybe the MTR pattern as I've had great luck with them in other rigs. You get what you pay for and the MTs fit the...

I think we should definately do a local ride just for everyone to meet up. Sounds like lots of eastern NC guys on here that haven't done any trips yet. I started a thread to see the interest level...

Anyone down in this neck of the woods want to meet up during the day, maybe head out for a local drive? I've had a few people interested so I figure start a quick thread to see interest level and availability. We could meet in either town and do a local drive, maybe run through Holley Shelter...

I do not remember off the top of my head what the temp rating is but stick with the factory temp. No reason to deviate. If you are running too cold it needs radiator blockage in winter. If running too hot you have a malfunctioning cooling sytem. IMO of course :) I have a mechanical temp gauge...

I will tell you with my 4" over stock height that a 2" drop pitman is too much. I can't get my steering wheel centered because I run out of adjustment. It's not too far off but if I could get another half inch shorter in the draglink I'd probably have enough room to center up fine. If I had to...

Wait till it pops in a straight line at high speed :)

Obviously it is tough to get it running without GPs but running the engine up nice and hot, shutting it off, unscrew a single GP, spray in there with WD40...sometimes you can work them out. Mine had a few pretty bad. Didn't break a single one. Took very long though because once you change out a...

Ideas for a meet and greet ride... In my neck of the woods - Wilmington -drive down to Wrightsville Beach -head to Carolina Beach and get out on the sand ($20 daily permit pass required) -go to Fort Fisher -up to Holly Shelter to do some shooting Anyone with more ideas or different locations...
