And I'm SURE that someone here has already posted this, but here goes. IF you guys haven't gotten the Feb 2006 Military Vehicles magazine, Bjorn's Biodiesel article has been published!! EXCELLENT ARTICLE. Though if you kept up here to the thread by Bjorn (Cranetruck), he's posted some...

carguy455, It was on TRUCKS!TV and Stacey David had a diesel pickup truck. DON'T BUY the one from Freedom fuels, or any other manufacturer unless you just aren't handy AT ALL. The FF one costs about $3000 +, depending on how much you want to produce at a time. Here's the link to one YOU can...

NICE LOOKIN ENGINE! Tell Walter to get some of that 'Liquid Bandaid' stuff. Works wonders on places where a Bandaid just won't stay. Hey, it's no where NEAR his heart and it's just a minor leak...

5 by 5 - WELCOME! I also noted in your other test, one of the few requirements here is to put your location in your signature. WELCOME!

K10A, You have my sympathy. Do you have many 'trespassing/burglary' issues in your area? I know people further north that are just starting to have problems. ojsdna744 WELCOME! Great avatar! jim

Gomar, One of the few requirements of the forum is you have to list your location in your signature line. WELCOME! Love the KEWL SMILEY face.

6 lug BUDD wheels 22.5" for about $75 each. I'm picking up four this week or next. I'll take pictures. I already have four with Michelin XDY-1 retreads for the rear. Now all I'm trying to decide is which front tires... Geez, these tires are EX-PEN-SIVE! So if your wheels are $700 each...

The article LOOKS like it will be informative. BUT I'm hoarding this months Mother Earth News AND MV magazine until the wife goes out of town at the end of the month for two weeks work in Las Vegas. That way, while she's gone, I have something to read. I know, too weird.

Longhunter7, THAT is (was?) a nice looking truck. YOU HAD to paint it yourself. Did you get the bed cover that way or did you paint it yourself? IF you painted it, what type of paint did you use? Can anyone tell me what gaskets/seals are necessary when you flip the hubs. OK, start by...

Hey Bjorn, I saw this article in the Feb/Mar 2006 issue of "Mother Earth News", pg 65 and it made me think of you. A biodiesel processor set up in a trailer. Geez, you could stop in little towns along the way, gather up whatever WVO you could find, stop for the night and process it... Or, if...

Looking carefully at that particular picture, it doesn't even look like they flipped the hubs. I could be wrong, but it appears they mounted them the same way you would if it were the outside of a pair of tires on the rear.

HAZMAT - yes it can cost extra if you ship hazmat stuff. I should know. As a gunsmith I buy my ammo several CASES at a time. And there is a HAZMAT charge. It's generally $5 per case. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Having said all that, I had a long chat with my shipper, DHL, and told them...

Sarge, It's both AIR and Hydraulic. Hook the air up via the 1/4 NPT and just push the lever and up it goes. It makes a psh-psh-psh sound as the extra air escapes from the air motor. OR just use the jack handle to pump it to the height you need. That works as well. rmgill, I HAVE a 30 ton...

Well, I've been out today pricing tires. The UP side is that I can get more than I paid for the Michelin XDY-1 retreads. The down side is that even having said that, these tires are hugely expensive. $350 - $450 - the lower price is for BFG's and the higher price is for Michelin. The problem...

Just an update. I left the jack in the 'all the way up' position overnight to check for leaks or poor workmanship. As of this morning, everything was as normal. So I lowered it down and will be deciding on the type of tool box to build to keep all this stuff in. It won't fit in the box under...

Two pictures of 20 ton bottle jack that's air over hydralic. Harbor Freight for $69.99! I also got a pair of 6 ton jack stands for $19.99:
