I was thinking the BFH might sort it out too. Pissed I didn't notice it when the axle was out. When the axle was out I hit it with a commercial hot pressure washer...it was much grimier. I debated painting it but decided against it. If I was...

That is easily repairable if you just want to get it running. Got find a piece of steel, reshape and weld. The welding alone will harden it up well enough. As above, just be nice to the U bolts. They really aren't going anywhere once bolted on...

That would make sense. The 62 that this was pulled off of was full of hokie s***. Guess I'll spend the coin and get the u-bolt flip kit from 4+...

That happened because the ubolt nuts were tightened to the FSM spec — which is only relevant for stock springs and ubolts. When everything is stock, the nut bottoms out at 90 ft-lbs or whatever it is and can’t screw down any farther because...

Been busy ... found a better frame ... and will try to make it near perfect . It has to be in order to pass the Quebec inspection ... There was a few rust holes ... but nothing too bad ... will use some clean parts of the old frame to fix it and...

Started cutting on the driver side .. worse ? Better ? Not sure ... pretty similar in the end ... Metalwork is enough on the passenger side for what I intend to do with that truck . Should be plenty solid and nice to see from 30ft - 30mph ...

"It's like regular camping, but you sleep on top of your rig!" LMAO

This is why you need a Land Cruiser to go to Costco. It's dangerous out there...

I'm normally on high alert in that area around the home depot.... couple years back, this was probably the worst thing I've ever personally seen over there. Yup, that's a big bundle of pvc trim boards.

Not sure this is tech or not, but posting here. Recently had my 3b rebuilt by Jonathan Hebden, with Firestorm Mechanical on Vancouver Island. Jonathan was professional, communicated well and honest the entire time. Does great work too! Have...

Official invitation. Please do Uber as we need to minimize cars parking on the street and you should be getting drunk at this party.

@JakeisbadatThis Definitely still want to do this hopefully getting my buddies truck buttoned up when he gets back from his cruise next week. I might snag it and do it myself tbh since I’ll have the time. Hoping to be free middle of may sometime...

Wow!! Just when I thought an ONSC event couldn’t get any better. Although, it was the biggest ONSC event to date, it still had the warm, family feeling that we have all come to expect from our events. I would like to thank JohnV, Allen and...

Enjoyed it folks! Next year it's the 10th Anniversary. It's gonna be uuuuuuge.

Randoms from my Friday half-day. Thanks for a great event!

Surprisingly I took virtually no pictures this trip. And most of them are not great lighting. Adding nonetheless.

@Rooftop That’s a Man A Fre shackle reversal kit - both the plates that weld to the frame horns and the front shackles. Those were made by 4Plus Products for Man A Fre. I have the same setup. If you’re looking for 2-3” of lift you’ll need to...

Anyone who has shopped for automotive event insurance in the last 4 years will have found that there are less options than there used to be and they all had giant increases over that period.

A little diagnosis on the 80...looks like cylinder #5 is the culprit...darker plug and didn't change the misfire feel when I pulled the wire from the cap to test by ear. To me, that shows no spark since it's darker, so I've ordered an OEM tune...

This is why I also keep a couple Midland handhelds around. There’s no time to be messing with radios when you just want to wheel.

Yes works GREAT i use it quite often. post 1, last picture. cut at that angle and you will be as good as gold.:cheers:

:hmm:

Lots of people to thank, JV and the ONSC crew for another great event Jakes40 for hauling my junk(again) Crabby and Sven for great grub Crabby again for saving me from no win at the raffle CP for the good deal on the Zarges Bob and Matt for all...

I heard everyone leave, too tired to get up. rain eased up about 6:45 and was able to pack up and leave before it came back in. Good times all.
