I like you, Rusty. I don't care about trucks that much.

All prices negotiable. Exploder (31-spline) 8.8 with 4.10s and discs, with an armored TRS cover, Ford trac-lok set up with spring pads to fit a '96 Ranger--$200 '91 Ranger (28-spline) with 4.10s and drums and a Lock-Right locker--set up with spring pads to fit an '89 BII, with wheel...

I was in the Marine Corps for 10 years. I never say I served. I grew up a military brat. In 3rd grade I was in 3 school in 2 countries and in 2 states. I landed in a small town with no prospects. My mom always told me I was out when I turned 18. There was no talk of college. I have my...

I've stayed out of these arguments for years. My dad gave me his '87 Ranger back in about 2000 after the tranny blew. I looked under it and saw a pumpkin and was disappointed. I was working in Africa in the early 90's and we had 2 Suburbans. We had a '91 with a straight axle and a new '93 with...

The Jimmy had 3.42 axles. And it whipped the 5.8s ass. It was embarrassing because I was the Ford guy and was driving the F250. I had an '00 7.3 Superduty E350 up until a few years ago. It was ok. My wife hated it and finally bought a new Mercedes Sprinter in '15 to replace it. The Sprinter has...

I'm talking about focus distance. I lost the ability of my eyes to change focus a few years ago. Can't see the pretty little orange pool and stir it around through my +6.5 glasses. When I take them off, I can still do it.

I lived in Dover, Delaware when those things first came out. We had a place called "The Pits" where we rode our old no-suspension 3hp mini bike. Those Hondas started showing up and they were tipping over on turns and going over backwards on hill climbs. I wouldn't be surprised if there are...

I can't weld wearing glasses anymore at all. I was only formally trained with gas welding. That's the best to learn with because it comes at you the slowest. You form the pool as gently as you want and then feed in the filler at your own pace, as needed. It's not as bright, either. I went to...

Yeah, that's a police car. I'll bet that needle still waved at you as you accelerated. Certified happy wave.

Is that the kind with a little 2-stroke motor and the rollers that kills every other woman that uses it?

Make sure you get one that you have to cut a hole in the wall to exhaust it. I have one by Empire in my man-cave barn. If you do one of the ones without an external exhaust, it exhausts into the house and that is a lot of water vapor. Rusts all of your stuff. I like your Ranger/generator...

Someone made a lift kit that got rid of torsion bars and put in coils, I don't remember which company. Torsion bars are junk. It works the same way as a coil, but is really short. It's convenient for the designer when he's not worried about it actually working well. It necessarily has a small...

Air shocks carry the weight on the tiny shock mounts. Don't use those. Back when I was a kid we used them to fit massive G60 tires on our hotrods, but they didn't carry any weight.

I had airbags on the front of my loosely sprung B2 which carried a 500# Western snow plow in the winter. I have airbags in the back of my FJ Cruiser with which I tow a single axle trailer with a 7,000# axle. My track loader is on it, or right now it has a pallet of pre-mix concrete. The airbags...

Those dually kits are shit. RV companies imported those Toyota chassis-cabs, put motor home bodies on them and just added that dually kit and called it good. The axles started breaking. Toyota started replacing all of those axles with a proper full-floating dually, at a loss, just to save their...

We did a tow test between a '96 F250 with a 5.8 and a '99 GMC Jimmy with a 4.3 a long time ago. We both had the same trailers and Bronco IIs on the trailers. I was driving the the F250. The Jimmy won. I could not catch that thing. My dad has a '96 Bronco with the 5.8. The world has moved on so...

If you are doing it for the look, no problem. Just don't do it expecting additional load capacity.

I don't know what you are talking about. I don't know who you are. I don't know if you are making a joke or trying to intimidate me.

Oh, I just have to remember that this is going on next Saturday. My life is like a constant explosion.

I plan to be there Saturday morning. I've been here a lot in the past, and it isn't as well maintained as it used to be. I was last here 2 years ago on my oldest son's 18th birthday. They don't maintain anything anymore. They are more ATV oriented than truck oriented now. The rules are the...
