    lmc insulation kit

    Anyone on here pull the trigger on the 250.00 precut insulation package from lmc? Not having to cut and fit myself is looking like a pretty good option. What would be the cost saving if you put in the work from those who did it from scratch? Thanx in advance Eric

    Eastwood internal frame coating review

    So my buddy who owns the body shop that will not paint my truck, GRRRRRR! Says that all new replacement panels get shot with what he calls the wand. It is some type of internal rust prevention for all new cars that still have steel panels. Wonder if the Eastwood stuff is the consumer version...

    Pulley pulling

    Who knows about the guy and his pulley. The napa store machine shop is old school for sure. Nothing fancy, but everything they need to bore, clean, sleave, turn, cook, clean, port and polish for sure. They even got the busted studs out of my OG exaust manifolds and installed new ones...

    Pulley pulling

    New pump, bring your own pulley. Seemed weird the new pump came without one. The shop by the way was the last REAL napa store in my area. Adults work there, and has a machine shop in the back. Eric

    tire fitment??

    So your vote is the 15x7 rims are prolly the right choice? I am getting them cheap enough that I am prolly going to pull the trigger and road test them. If they rub I am going to have them remount my rally wheels and offer the rims here or on epay. Eric

    tire fitment??

    So I stopped by the 4x4 shop today to get a price on some wagon wheels, bright white. I currently run 10.50 x 31.00 on stock ralley wheels. I thought the stock ralley was 15x8x5.5 negative. The only wagons they had available were 15x7x6 negative. Are the 15x10.50 o.k. on the narrower rim...
