    Finally got the Tow Pig set up!

    We have a 1977 Kenworth dump truck with a cat engine in it. I just got all kinds of new chrome and stainless for it. New stacks, flaps/fenders, bumper, and new Yokohamas and polished Alcoas up front. The older trucks have more soul than these new sloped nose smoothy, slant eye/headlighted trucks.

    fj80 vs dana 60 front end

    Ive got 44s on my square body chevy. It goes 60-80 mph at least one-two days a week. Big tires can be found for a little more if not the same money as little tires. I can get another set of 44s that are 70% and better for 900-1000. A good set of 37s/38s will cost that easy. Hummer beadlocks...

    fj80 vs dana 60 front end

    The ford hi pinion makes SO MUCH sense in so many ways. From clearance, to strength, to T case options etc.

    fj80 vs dana 60 front end

    Toy axles suck. No matter how you polish them. To think that an axle that is superior will drive worse is not coherent thinking. Big plus, if you have 60s, why run 37s????? Time for big boy tires. Take off the diapers and run a 42-44.

    Trail Gear 3-link. Options?

    Drive shaft shortening.

    You can cut it and put it back together. Take note of yoke/phase orientation and duplicate it upon reassembly. Then take it down to Johns and get it buzzed back together or a decent local muffler guy that can weld it for cheap or bring it down here and I burn it back together for ya. You got...

    Odd tire question

    I run a set of very beefy aluminum OEM Honda Passport wheels. I usually throw them on the bubble balancer and more times than not they are within spec. Seems cheap rims need the weights more than tires, I notice.

    Mirror Glass

    My passenger one is broke. Plastic housing, heated mirror. It has cracked all to hell, then it fell out and the plastic backing was hanging by the wires. I tried to snapping it back in, but it feels like Im going to bust it all up pushing in so hard and it wont snap. None of the clip edges...

    Need a driveshaft made

    Where to get regeared

    Gears setup by hands that have done a hundred are much happier than gears setup by a virgin. Experience is priceless in a differential. There is SO MUCH more to making a diff live that just a pattern. I could go on for hours. Not knocking any DIYers, but 99 percent of the failed axles that...

    Fasteners for roof panels

    Just weld some small tabs and use small (1/4 or 5/16) carriage bolts. Dont drill tappers or rivets into the tube. The tubes will eventually fill with water and freeze and swell/split.
