I was going to have a shop put a Detroit up front, but a couple of the guys encouraged me to go with a limited slip like the Detroit TrueTrac instead. They said the locker would snap u-joints and axle shafts with 35" tires, especially when turning in the rocks. An Air Locker would work because...
You can buy body panel adhesive in a tube to fit your caulking gun. Many body shop supply places will have it. You'll probably have to take the hood off, lay it top down, clean off the old stuff, put a glob of the new stuff on in each spot and then weigh the frame down enough to maintain...
Wow, what a great day. I'm glad you lefties know how to have a good time to ;) You guys see any 756 pipeline trucks or parts laying around? I need 2 gin pole sockets, the trunion, the sheaves, and any other misc BII
Doors can be a real PITA. Eastwood has a tool that hooks to the door latch and the pin on the B-pillar. You stick a breaker bar on it and it allows you to tweak the door without loosening the bolts. This is for fine adjustment, not big changes. For more than a 1/4" you will be better off...

Hmmm, well not really a good spot for this post, so we'll just put you in the Mechanical Upgrades forum. By the looks of the bead, I would still prolly run a 10" rim, but I like to err on the side of caution if it is used on-road at all. If its use is all off-road and you really want to do a...
Not really sure what you are talking about David. What are you working on? Are you talking about Michelin XL's? What is a regular aluminum rim? What size rim? A 15.5/80R20 would require a 10x20 rim. What are you cutting to fit? Did you mean to post a picture because I can't visualize a...
