    Custom Double Front Bumper.

    I definately would like to upgrade my bumper as well, but being a winch truck even mounting the extra bumper on top, i'm not too sure how well the indicators and head lights will work out

    Ryno-paint

    you definately dont want to have to paint after you spray whatever surface you use. I applied nonskid to my steps and painted them. The paint is wearing off pretty quick. Unfortunately so is the nonskid... Sticks to jets just fine :-?

    Does this look weak or am I just over-reacting

    I have learned this myself on a trail rig. I was never dumb enough to use blocks though, I dont see the point in them, they do no good for suspension performance, in fact, they add axle wrap, all for a little extra lift. Drop shackles make much more sense.

    Grooving my 11.00's for snow

    My thoughts as well, however if you are doing the majority of your time on the road, I can see where having two sets of tires/wheels would come in handy, the g286's for normal road conditions, and when you are gonna go out and play over the weekend, its only an afternoon to swap them out. I just...

    Grooving my 11.00's for snow

    hey booger, after looking at your pics, and my tires, it looks like you used a wider groover, mine was with the #4 head, about 1/4 inch wide, how wide did you go?

    Is a Boyce m35 Bobber right for me?

    Post #1 and you come out swinging... I cant tell you much about boyce equipment products, but I figure an m109 will best suite your needs for all of the above except the "daily pickup needs" and parts availability. Asking for a dual purpose rig is common, but if you are really that serious...

    Why not detroit 50 series in deuce?

    i've been pondering a 6v-92 two stroke, They just sound sooooo mean. By pondering I havent made any attempts to see if it is possible, but a detroit under the hood seems like it could be a lot of fun.

    Grooving my 11.00's for snow

    ok, that makes more sense, I stuck with 1/4 inch since I have some tires that this is as deep as I want to go considering current tire wear. Most of the others I could go deeper, but I really dont want to fiddle with a hot iron, and I am too impatient to wait for it to cool each time I grab...

    Grooving my 11.00's for snow

    just finished another tire, but as I was grooving this one I got to thinking, how deep are you guys cutting into your tires? I am using the #4 blade and set the depth to 1/4 inch, I really dont see the need to cut all the way down into the tire.

    Grooving my 11.00's for snow

    I really dont know why you guys are crying about the ideal iron, I just now grooved my first tire with one, took about 20 minutes for the whole tire, I read and followed the instructions and no issues at all. I used pattern #4 BTW.

    Bobbed deuce on Western WA trails?

    welcome to the pnw, I am just a short cruise from you, located down in oak harbor. The nearest offroad park for us is walker. I have taken a fullsize 78 chevy on 37's and 9 inches of lift and came back with mirrors smashed, doors caved in, fenders bashed, and steering stabilizers crushed. This...

    im just kinda curious about the passenger step fuel can mount... how do you get to the battery compartment without unbolting everything?

    paint job using rustoleum camo rattle cans

    Looks great. I went just green with black trim when I did mine, used krylon OD green, and walmart cheap flat black, the flat black was so thin, it required a few more coats.

    GL-1 gear oil

    I have found my local napa stocks both GL-1 and GL-5 with MT-1 (in 5 gallon buckets even) right there on the shelf, but like others have said it was a heated debate, just read and research and make your own informed decision.

    tire size = mph?

    I lost a steer tire once... mostly due to bad judgements on my part. I came around a corner on a backroad too fast for the truck and the front end began to slide. As it slid, i can only imagine that the tire started to fold over and pinched a small hole in the tube. At first it wasnt really...
