And run out of gas quickest too!!

meh as long as there is alot of broken down fats (aka dead people) you can run a diesel on it im pretty sure. plus if its done right you can still get good milage ( why am i defending this lol im pretty sure there is going to be no zombie attack)

whoa this got off on a tangent real quick.

BTW forgot you were thinkin bout tube fender's. and as for the roof rack, my experience is there great for gettin hung up in tree limb's and whatnot. i went from having a full length shovel to a shorty cuz mine was mounted on the top of my headace rack.

Very true. I love the idea of a nice roof rack, especially on a B2 or something, but up here in Wa it would just be a limb collector

yea thats what keeps me from doing it....alot of extra weight up top where i dont want it and dragging limbs around everywhere

got my passenger door done...

and with all the rain we've had the ohio is about 8 feet over flood stage, on the indiana side its all low lands so i went exploring over there for a little bit and damn 3 miles from the bank of the river is where the water stopped went down a few of the backroads some of them the water was almost over my 35's

thats an island thats usually about 15 foot over the water

about 2 miles from the bridge...still water

at 3 miles...

damn, i didn't know you guys got that much rain! I wonder if the KY river is up that high.....

 

[86 slo-vo]

we've had like 6 inches of rain in the last week, and the same up a little north which is all coming down the river...

 

[disciplerocks]

Yeah I think it has rained just about every day. I haven't been down to the river for a bit. I bet Waterworks Rd is closed.

<<<< Stays out of the water!

What are you doing for a door popper? Just using the outside handle? or? Got any photos of it?

I made up a mechanical popper on the riverside, but really 90% of the time it's easier to just reach around since the handle is so close to the top. Really I could have just left the factory handle and just moved it since it uses a cable but I didn't think about it before I had cut the cable's

 

[Jay'94]

Liking them doors more & more! Definitely got me having the urge to make some. I got a driver's, RangerSVT's old driver door. And Railman said he scored me a new passenger door for my truck so that one can become the passenger half door on WCB2. Who cares if they're bent up, be good for trail doors on WCB2!

 

[86 slo-vo]

yea some beat up doors would be found, hell the first set of doors i found were off a truck that had been rolled a few times. they wanted too much even for a door beat to shit so i just happened to find another set when me and frank picked up his b2

 

[Stranger ranger]

just blew my mirror off and busted the window out of my driver door and for 55 bucks at the junk yard per door, gonna start making some halfzies.
Looking good bro.
