I used Red Kote on my old ford tractor tank and that was @ twenty years ago, no problems that I know of.

We still have mud holes. :)

I'm with @scrapdaddy here and think they look great.. Once you start approaching the $5,000 magic time and money budget it's going to be hard to take this rig on the Rubicon trail or any trail where body damage is guaranteed... After replacing...

It looks great like that, just stay off the rocks. :)

Question for the frame-mounted slider crowd - Is there a minimum distance between the slider and rockers needed to prevent contact during body flex? I’ll just pull out the handy tape measure Bob M sent me and see here…. Huh. Lookit there...

Started working on the front axle rebuild while watching paint dry on the second set of rear springs. The SST is fairly easy to use but, like a lot of these procedures, it takes a few minutes to fully understand what they are asking you to do...

Moments ago: superbrite LEDs in back... Amber and red to match the Aussie taillight lenses, white for the back-ups. Made a socket cleaning tool, rinsed out the insides of all the lenses and used the special bulb grease. It's attention to these...

You need to drink more before posting. That way: 1) you don't care what you post. B) you don't remember what you posted. Works for me. YMMV

Yes. Been a little back and forth on whether to paint or powder coat. The powder coat would be a lot easier, but they will eventually get scratched and scuffed, so I’ll probably just paint them so that it’s easier to apply some touch up when...

I believe the switch from R-12 to R-134a began in the late 1980s early 1990s. Look for R-12 to R-134a adapter fittings "45° to O-ring" and then you could replace all the hoses with newer barrier hose and fittings but unless you're updating your...

Timely reminder that, at 79, it just might be time to heed the concerns of extended family and hire out winterizing the swamp coolers, especially the one atop the 2nd story. Especially since I've already experienced one backflip doing the same...

Good Job!

Guess I’ll make a quick post since we’re nearly through September. Straightening of the hood is as done as I’m going to get. Pics don’t really do any justice, so I’ll just hold off until there’s some paint on it. Went ahead and made my own 5/8”...

Damn it Don, what is it with the ladders. I hope everything will heal up good for you. I borrowed my Dad's ladders when he was in his eighties and I never returned them. He kept getting on the roof to clean gutters, stayed mad about it for years...

Nice!

I did a thing on the pig this weekend...thanks to all of you who provided a good filler neck reference; I went with the 2” 90° super elbow unit from filler neck supply. Also, I came across a nice grommet (w/ shipping ~$20) that mates well for...

I WISH 😳😮😲🤔🧐😏🤪🤣🤣🤣 WHAT YOU LOOKIN AT 😘😘🤪🤪😏🤣🤣🤣.

Is what I'm running. Might be 3 years old, don't use it a lot but no problem so far.

@riderjgs Oh that is the next chapter of the story I am not in a hurry to read We keep about 3-4 full cords of wood ready to go… no longer a necessity. It’s easier to tell Alexa to turn up the heat than carry wood. That doesn’t mean I can ignore...

Just turned 79, headed toward 80 next year Used to say 70 was the new 60. Now thinking 80 may be the new 90. As one of my favorite singer-song writers James McMurtry (son of Larry) says..."It's a damn short movie. How'd we ever get here?"...

With the body of a 80 year old....:)

Should have papers soon for my daughter to start driving Uncle’s (RIP) 2014 Avenger, only 26K kms on it and still good shape despite sitting six plus years. Today was battery, oil change, bleed a litre of new brake fluid through it.

Am I the only one that want to be @scrapdaddy when I grow up? He's like 106 years old and still out there kicking A$$
