Cranking your distributor back and forth doesnt really tell us much. You need to put a timing gun on it and see where its set. The distributor could have jumped a tooth or there could be another problem with it. Another this is the gasket on the carb might not be sealed and it could be sucking...

Just as an FYI, Trail Worthy Fab sells Goodyear MT's for around $125/tire.

Just saw an uncut one that was a "butternut squash" yellow color on the back of a wheel lift wrecker on I-10 headed towards Katy about half way from Brookshire. Really clean.

Damn, you guys mske it sound difficult. Of course, having a skidsteer with forks helps a little.

Just throwing this out there to see if anyone is interested. The system works great, but its just overkill for my needs which seem to be about 80% on road. Im really looking to trade for a stock setup that has hydraulic assist or just a stock system and some cash. This is still installed on my...

Bahaha. Not even close. Desert Rat is part of a larger tire co. based out of Az. called Jack Furrier. They jack up their prices well over what it would cost for the same tires/wheels from their other stores. I used to work for them when I was in high school.

Why send it to get painted if its gonna screw up your plans? Take your trips, then send it to paint over the winter. Who needs shiny paint anyways? ;D

Its a modern engine with tight clearances. If its just not been run in a year and half and doesnt seem to have any leaks as is, I'd spin it over by hand just to make sure, put it in whatever you're putting it in, and crank it over. If you want to get a little more involved, pull the plugs and...

I know this is almost a month old post...but I have a '75 thats pretty built, but could use some fine tuning to turn into a great cruiser. If you're still looking. I can be emailed at tirefryerss@msn.com

End of last week I figured out why I dont have any tail lights (hack wiring) then I ran new vacuum line from the back of the carburetor to the brake booster instead of them being boosted off of a crappy 12v vacuum pump that doesnt work for shit it seems. Brakes work much better now. Today I...

Looks good. You're gonna go back into debt if you're daily driving that 460 though ;D

This is what happens when you give a meth head tools.

I tow around equipment (bobcat and backhoe) for my business and one thing I can say is buy the biggest, most heavy duty trailer you can afford and that your truck can handle. Not only do they last longer, they tow better. The longer the better also. Look at trailers going down the road. Pay...

Claybar.

I've seen used ones for around 3k. I've actually never priced out building one. Never had the need for anything like that. But 8k to build a front axle? That seems a little steep.

Im guessing you're not building some badass crawler/wheeler if you're asking questions like this (which isnt a bad thing, everyone has questions). But why shell out roughly 3 grand to build an axle when you dont even know if its needed or not? Sure sometimes its cool to have the badass bling...

If I went off what other people said all the time, I'd be a miserable sob. I ran heavy ass 38" Michelin XL's on a stock Chevy D44 without any issues. Never once broke anything. Granted Im light on the pedal because I dont like to break stuff. My EB currently has a D44 on 38" SX's, with...

You're gonna have alot of $$ tied up into a front 9" hybrid axle. Are you breaking chromoly D44 shafts now?

I have someone in Tucson that can possibly do the work. He is an amazing body man, but he is very slow because he's a perfectionist. He works for my wifes stepdad, who owns/operates a towing & repair shop in Sahuarita. I can PM you their info if you're interested in talking to him. Otherwise I...

This is some of the most ridiculous stuff I've heard in awhile.
