My 62 with a spanked 3FE and H55F 5 speed is a pleasure to drive. The 200 with pedal commander alone hauls butt. Can't wait to get my Harrop on it. Been in my shop for quite a while. My kids have out 460LS at college and I miss it's throttle...
I feel cliche saying this because it’s what so many others say, however it’s the truth. With the Harrop, it drives as it should have come from the factory. That combine with the powerbrakes and it’s a dream come true. I have a Dissent rear with...
i reached out to a few shops this weekend for estimates. The Harrop stage one is just over $8k now. I figure 20 hrs for instal if going slow… $150/hr for labor = $3k at the most so total = $11k. waiting to hear back from Prospeed. Had one shop...
Work continues at a decent pace on the house; I have to balance between doing enough consulting work to pay for the house work, and the actual time to work on the house. Most of the recent progress is pretty boring photo-wise, just more layers...
I've been in love with the 2 IceCo fridges we have. The one in my 80 has done several hard trips and performs great. A decent fridge makes trips so much easier
I pull the return hose off and attach a clear hose to the barb. After I drop the pan, clean the magnets, refill pan, I pump one qt out and then add one quart until cherry red (or green if I’m putting in the super good stuff). I’ve found that it’s...
New brake pads front and back at 70k miles. Got the truck with 10k so probably first change. Rear were very thin, i mean "wafer thin sir!". Front had about 1/3 left on outside and 1/4 on inside. Original fluid went right to the max line...
That looks like a beauty!
Light, no rust, retains backup sensors, improved access to hitch and wiring connector. Literally everything I would personally want in a rear bumper. If I ever swap out my stock setup, I'll be making a trip to your...
Great improvements! I also learned that this bumper is compatible with all LRA tank mounts. I have a 12.5 gallon which is a prefect pairing for the non swing out bumper.
I thought about getting those but saw that they lacked heat defrost. I got the above mentioned clamp ons and am very pleased with them. They are rock solid when mounted and do not over stress the mirror housing. They can quickly be mounted and...
I see the logic of the shorter distance between ball and receiver. I didn't get it before digesting the content of this thread, which read to other study. I have some nice solid steel ball mounts that I'm going to drill new holes to tighten...
Yeah, it's all incremental and everyone will have to choose what they're trading.
I would offer that the ball distance from the rear axle is critical and one of the primary geometries to optimize. Weight transfer is only one aspect. It's...
Good question and I've wondered this as well.
I can jack knife my trailer pretty tight against the stock tupperwear where they can touch. Aftermarket bumpers seem to project a bit more, including the harness mounted on the face of the bumper in...
For towing the Dissent setup is better. Better access to the hitch pin, especially if you use a locking one. And the wire harness moves into the bumper where it's much more easily accessible.
Rear bumper for towing
I am trying to decide between the Slee and Dissent rear bumper for my 2020 LC. I do not want swing outs and I do have a 12.5 gallon LRA tank because I plan to keep the spare below. With the stock tupperware bumper access...
A few current photos to document progress:
Taping and bedding continuing; here is an example of blending a 2x10 framed wall into the surrounding concrete wall:
Building up the floor of the shower stalls with mortar, sloping them so they will...
