@Pighead- great minds think alike! I really dig my old stainless battery tray too. Only drawback is I have only purchased Optima batteries for years...
Took mine in a 73 Gran Torino wagon! Firefighter Father talking shop with Metro P.D. all I hadto do was take 4 right turns and was Golden 🤣🤣🤣😏. Thanks Dad 😘
When I was flying frequently I would pride myself on landing on the centerline no matter what the conditions. Now it seems I can’t park between two dang lines some days, of course mostly when wife in car.
Took my driver’s test in a 1976 F150 long wheelbase. Had to parallel park that puppy between two cars. No problem.
Probably couldn’t do it as well today. 😂
…and in the nobody cares but FWIW category, I threw away all my 10 yo+ Mobil 1 and Amsoil moly fortified today. I was still happy with the Amsoil product but it’s hard to tell the shelf life on grease. I’m a huge Mobil 1 oil fan but their...
Put the internals back into the disc brake calipers in between football games. Maybe not quite as pretty as the ones that @J Mack pulled out of a box but I guess they will have to do. These things were a bi*tch to clean up btw.
Love this, wife and I spent couple hours in town this morning after driving our 79 F150. Most of our time talking to folks about the truck.
Surprisingly had a few young ladies not even old enough to drive holler “I like your truck”.
Water in the Cariboo…they have three drilled wells, #1 was dry when drilled to 250’ but now gives them all their water, #2 has a pump and runs less than 5 min a day…basically dry, #3 dad told the guy to stop at 200’ deep but the driller swore...
Raptor makes a 1K liner in an aerosol can which leaves a very light texture, and can be picked up from local parts stores.
Of course this post wouldn’t be complete without me showing an example.
IIRC used one thick coat on my battery tray...
I don't believe that would be durable enough for what you are doing, I'm guessing some sort of polyurea coating is what you want.
Probably find one of those home bed liner kits would work best for the DIY battery box coating.
I've used U-POL...
Took the Pig for a drive up to Robbs Resort for the annual Cantina for the 'Con. Avoided the freeway and took the back way in thru Georgetown. Pleasant place to spend a 4x4 weekend for a good cause with good people.
55 miles with 3000 foot...
Then, it got dark and I thought I'd see what the reverse lights looked like with the front rocklights on. You'll recall that I recently wired the reverse lights to a dash switch after not having reverse lights at all for about 20 years. Think I...
Seven feet deep, wow our frost line is something like three feet. I ran a water line @ a 1/2 mile down to the barn and some places I hit bedrock at only eighteen inches and it has never froze up. Cold up there! Like Knuckles said, beautiful country.
Went to ranch for a couple weeks to help the folks with water system, they are hauling water daily again this fall…getting stale.
Hard digging it all to 7feet deep for the tired 200ex, we ended up putting in new injectors before we melted...
