We all might not "Get one another", but I think we are all on the same team!

Custom work like bobbing a bed, or modding a fuel system, or installing a bunch of bolt on aftermarket products, kinda throws us into the category of " It just ain't good enough for me... FAWK the warranty, ima do somethin'" BTW, That doesn't make us all bad...
The sig is from a song by Chris Knight. He's an awesome songwriter.

And very well said there.

Great job. Bobbing the tail on a truck is certainly a very practical mod. Full size trucks have horrible approach angles. I laugh at all the high school kids around here with the big DMI bumpers. Granted its farm country, but they just buy them cause they are big I think. First thing to hang up is the rear bumper.

I don't think there is anyone out ther that "needs" a 4x4 that has not been hung up because of the huge overhang on the back of our trucks at one time or another. If you haven't you've turned around way too early and missed some really cool places.

Hi i dont mean to hyjack the thred, but i was wanting to ask about ur ford 60 swap. I was wondering if you used the factory bractry of the old axle? or if you made ur own? if so how did ya do it? My Brother did this swap on his 24 v and used the factory stuff and it turned out pritty well. Im serously considering this sawp, so any imput would be greatly aprecated thanks!

Can't remember where I saw his swap detailed, but he cut off the factory bracketry and added it to the Ford.

Here is the photo detail of his swap.

The bumper was a Trailready bumper. I have sold it because it was too big and got hung up all the time. I have since put on a tube bumper that doesn't hang out.

this is one of my favorites from Guam, you can see that when it rains there, the trails turn into roller coasters. Sure was fun sliding around on clay/volcanic mud stuff.


I was on my way down the valley to rescue these 2 jeeps:



it was a loooong way down, that pic is way zoomed in from the top. I drove down there and hooked up to both of them at the same time and eventually got them out up the hill. The black one had bald tires haha. About halfway out, the yellow one slid into a washout. You can see the other tow strap going to the 2nd jeep, and my truck in the background.

aaaahh the good ol days haha


Here is a zoomed out pic of the route to the jeeps, you can barely see the yellow one in the trees
