    What new tools have you got lately?

    Not sure if this counts as a tool, but still messing with my air compressor plumbing. Trying to create a perfectly dry/clean air side from an air manifold for painting. Have a trans cooler to use for an aftercooler, then will go through a water separator, then into the tank, then to a manifold...

    Tool battery mod with pics

    There used to be a place about 2hrs south of here that refurbed bad batteries. I have a collection of 18v DeWalts that failed.....open it up and there is about 15+ C sized batteries all tack welded in series. Bad ones have 2-3 blown/leaking batteries. I figured I could take a couple good ones...

    Prep/paint metal dash recommendations???

    I'm kind of at the same spot but my dash is totally removed. The plan is (at this point) to sand and paint it just like the body, but only wet sanding (maybe) and buffing the bottom half thats seen. From the looks of things the factory sprayed it like they did everything else, while it was in...

    Source for those black fender flares?

    These here? https://www.jegs.com/i/Bushwacker+Body+Gear/148/40019-11/10002/-1?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIyey8h8PEggMVhOvICh1h-gKSEAQYAiABEgJOD_D_BwE

    What ya'll think of these new wheels/tires? I dig em. Any shock suggestions?

    I have the same issue with my Outlaws - kind of thinking about making a cap or something for the fronts so I could use a (custom) 4x4 logo. That open look is pretty badass by itself. All the black lugs really looks good. Sexy. :hat:

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    Wonder if he'd ship? One good kick in the right place and you could probably scoop it into one of those giant padded envelopes. Flat rate even.

    Love them. How does the center caps fit with the 4WD hubs?

    Anyone use this R4 A/C conversion kit?

    I get it - but still wonder if VA couldn't sell you what you need cheaper. Their entire setups are not much more than that.

    Anyone use this R4 A/C conversion kit?

    IMO, thats awfully steep $$-wise for what it is. Going into winter you can buy a GOOD compressor (Sanden) for about $250. The accumulator (small silver can) is about $30. The lines can be made (or ordered from Vintage Air) for about $125 total. Surprised there is no condenser with this setup...

    Wiring harness options

    Painless makes a SB replacement kit for $700ish. I got a Painless kit that had more circuits and was still for a chevy column for about half that. Can get the new connectors for the large gang firewall connector at Rock. Will locate all the PNs if need be.

    Trailer Hitch - Factory Step Bumper

    I should add.....that drawing was done by someone who never saw either the hitch or the frame before. The side 'arms' of the hitch that go towards the front of the truck were in mid air - nothing there to bolt to. Course, they claim this hitch fits trucks from 1960s to the 2000s. Some...

    Trailer Hitch - Factory Step Bumper

    Wasn't bad at all. I needed a larger drill (11/16) so got a brand new one. I was planning on using 5/8 bolts on all my brackets and figured I'd need a little more space to compensate for the powder coat. IIRC I started with a 3/8, then went 5/8, then 11/16. Not sure what size(s) you'll need...

    Painting the gas tanks

    I think the stuff I used was 2k RaptorLiner - can get it in a quart or spray can. There is a particular primer that has to be used with it (its a beige color - can see it in one of my pics). Price has actually come down since I did mine. ?! I think THIS was the stuff. Of course its cheaper by...

    Trailer Hitch - Factory Step Bumper

    This one is a Class V 41938. Its 'ok' for fitment IMO but there's probably a better one. A couple of the holes line up perfectly (which is a must so it indicates it front-back where it should sit), but some drilling is required. This is the 'diagram' they send with it. I did my own thing for...

    Trailer Hitch - Factory Step Bumper

    This is a Draw-Tite frame hitch. I modded the setup a bit for a spare tire carrier, but you can see how it sits in relationship to the bumper. If I were towing even anything about the half the weight you want to pull, I'd opt for the frame mount every time.

    Scores from DIY Parts Yards, Pull A Part, U Pull It etc

    Reminded me of an old York compressor. Was weird for sure - which was why I took a pic.

    The drivers side belts were cut. I think they had them tied around the steering wheel when it was brought in......then someone wanted the column.
