Came across this 80 on youtube.



Not a fan of the bling but I like how clean the bumpers, sliders, and roof rack all tie together.

Huh. I have the same tire as my spare. Good to see how it looks on the truck.

@jamesurq is this Biscuit's final form?

And @jamesurq you can just use a 5th wheel camper as a bumper pull. No more huge drop hitch!

@GLTHFJ60 so were looking at ~3000 for the RD CM bed?

and shortening? no more lengthing? just doing trailer i presume
What configuration you looking for? Dually width (?) shortbed or (?'), 5th wheel, headache rack, clean lights, metal or wood surface?

I linked my buddy half a dozen or so from CL under 1500 not too long ago. of course 5 min shows not so much now

here is a new one but maybe a bit long 10 ft bed

Yea, $2800 purchased, $3300 installed (optional). No more shortening/lengthening, listed all the pros and cons of ramp truck vs flat bed tow rig and the tow rig won as the more versatile option. I really liked the wood flat bed for utility.

Dually width, gooseneck hitch, bumper hitch, headache rack with lights, would prefer metal but wood works.

I've seen that one but it's too long and it's off of a F800, so it's probably too wide too. I found one in New Bern that I had @custyota go look at for me but it had bad surface rust, enough that it'd have to be sandblasted and painted, then new lights, then hitches added, so I'd be right back at the cost of the new RD CM bed.

Let me know what you find. I'm not going to do anything until after the motor is back together, but will need to be done before GSMTR so I have some time.

Are those the new clear polycarbonate front rotors? I hear they work great!

I was bored so crunched a couple numbers for fun. It's one of those really telling lessons in the poorly understood difference between torque and horsepower.

Most folks have seen pics of the largest and most powerful diesel engine currently in production:

Most powerful diesel engine in the world

For giggles I scaled the HP and torque numbers down to the size of a 4.5 liter 1FZ-FE.

It would then make 19.2 horsepower and 990 Ft Lb of torque (@102 RPM)

I don't know how accurate this is but I like the idiom that goes something like this:
HP will determine how quickly you will hit the wall
Torque will determine how far you move the wall.

It's white reflective DOT paint, it really pops at night with a light on it.

Do any of you happen to have my Dewalt jigsaw or Ryobi mini circular saw? The jigsaw would be in a plastic carry case.

Are you already cutting up the white truck?
