    That gorgeous. Looks like a 40's body with an extra set of doors and a custom bed? Wonder what it is underneath.

    Don’t know that I’ve ever noticed a steep side F150 of this era. Are these common?

    Using tools the WRONG WAY

    Wait... I read that to mean with a drill bit in the chuck. That's the thread winner if so. Do you just mean using a drill as an impact? That's all I do. I've never tried an impact cause the drill seems to do just fine for my DIY purposes... except for the few times I need the 1/2" impact. There...

    Using tools the WRONG WAY

    I always say jerry-rig... though I've heard older generations refer to it as another type of -rig.

    Using tools the WRONG WAY

    This is my record. A shot bearing was holding the rotor on tight.

    What did YOU do today?

    Finally opened my tierods after waiting a couple months for the weather to cool. If anyone ordered a case of grease from RA and only got a single tube, I have your case.

    2.3L ('83-'97) Sites to buy parts?

    The 3 I use are RA, Carid, and Summit... and of course ebay and amazon it I know the part number. RA is byfar the most likely source for the right part and occasionally the other two will have/know something that RA doesn't. OEM bolts will be tough. Right now I'm looking for 2wd front rotor dust...

    school me on air rifles

    Another thing to consider. I’m fairly certain that spring guns require specific “spring-rated” optics. They will damage a “regular” scope, So you can’t repurpose the $1000 scope from your Sako.

    school me on air rifles

    If I was real serious about it, I'd go PCP (pre-charged pneumatic). Springers require a delicate hold of the rifle- pretty much opposite from all other technique teachings. The spring accelerates then abruptly stops before the pellet leaves the barrel. I balance mine on a beanbag so every shot...

    Sample packs are common. I only tried H&N and mine likes the Baracuda Hunter

    Looking to buy ranger

    Plus the Lima is nye un-over-heatable. I've read that they are used for demo derby cars... folks fill the water passages with concrete and they make it through a match just fine. From my experience, I don't think that's hyperbole. I can't get my heater to work if it's <50F. I assume that's...

    school me on air rifles

    Excellent! A thread with an ending! My Benjamin Nitro needed a new trigger group. I didn’t realize it until I installed it, but it made it much easier to shoot. I forget what manufacturer it was.

    Looking to buy ranger

    You can use 100% of the 2.3 Lima in pretty much any situation, which is its own type of fun. Certainly it can be modded to make over 100 hp. Not saying it fits on the list, but I’ve found mine to be very satisfying.

    Extended cab Rangers and Explorers have more leg room than single cab Rangers if that's a concern.

    Suicidal thoughts...

    All of the close deaths Ive experienced have been expected due to age and sometimes was the result of a choice of the individual. Those were tough. I can’t imagine a non-expected death. I think that’s something that has to be experienced to fully understand.

    Easiest windshield sun shade?

    I got an umbrella type shade, but my wife stole it. It's takes some practice, but it's easier to use and definitely easier to store. It works plenty good enough too. It doesn't cover the whole windshield in my big truck, but it's worth it for the ease of use. I got one witha flexible handle or...

    Paint worthy of a golf cart?

    Something else to note... These are plastic panels. They aren't super rigid. They're probably 3/16" thick plastic. There will be some flexing that the paint will have to be happy with. That's one reason I'm leaning toward the tractor paint. I figure that ought to be tougher than a nicer looking...

    And by metallic, I mean flake. I don’t like the chrome looking things
