The rest of my group is upgrading to digital equipment so I'm just seeing if there is any interest in my Rugged RM60 car to car unit. It's a white model and I've had it for 4 years now. I have no issues with it. This is just the radio by itself, no intercom, no headsets.  I'm asking $200...

I want to post something that I don’t say often enough that relates to my dear wife.  She has been wonderful throughout these trips down the rabbit hole, trips that 100% of the time go way over budget with what I had told her it would cost. She puts up with a lot of crap from me but I couldn’t...

Well it’s been a while with zero progress but Eric is back on it for now. Got a few more pieces of tubing put in and he has the prototypes for the doors loosely installed.  He is still working out some of the details with the hinges and inside door handles so only time will tell what he does...

Looks like somebody buried their truck and is in need of some help.

Might as well go down this road, I'll start with some show and tell. I've got a 4 seater, stock LS3, HV-24, 33 Blasters and it probably weights 2500-2600lbs. The ass end is 95" wide measured outside of tire to outside of tire, I have 31" 300M Tatum axles and I use Tatum midboard hubs. I also use...

Anyone lucky enough to see Roger Waters on the North American leg of his "This Is not A Drill" tour? My wife and I saw him this last Monday in Glendale, Arizona. It was an incredible show considering he is 78. His voice hasn't changed much since we saw him 20 years ago at Irvine Meadows. I have...

An MPPT controller is the only way to go, they will utilize almost all of the energy from the panels with no waste. Buy a larger unit than you think you will need, I have a 60a PowMr unit and it works well. Also regarding panels, 300w+ residential panels have DC outputs over 35 volts on average...

Sounds like you have a service advisor issue, an egr valve is a simple repair as long as the advisor had budgeted enough time with you to actually have the tech make the repairs. I guarantee this was a rushed job, not that you rushed them, but something the advisor dropped the ball on and didn't...

An L76 pan measured from the block rail to the bottom of the pan is right at 6 1/2", the drain plug boss adds another 1/2" or so. It holds 8qts. Might be enough room for the slope of your skid plate, might have to cut out a section in the skid plate for the drain plug boss, even space it down a...

I don't know about any of you folks but I get so bored looking at the stacked MIG welds. If you are going to MIG it, just MIG it. If you want the stacked look use a TIG and be done with it. If anyone thinks a robotic weld has to be crappy, think again. Apparently the Germans at Porsche have it...

Speaking of TO bearings, I had to pull my engine out at the last minute at New Years to fix a hydraulic leak at the shaft mounted Albins actuator on my HV24. That sumbitch left a puddle on the ground in the garage just out of the blue one day. I was planning on ordering one of the $450 actuators...

Our good friend Eric Emler/E2 Ironworks is the one who is fabricating this beauty.     We started off with the idea we were going to replicate the frame we had already, only in 4130. Then over many late nights of discussions for what seemed like a couple of years we decided to build from...

If you need to weld 1" thick aluminum, the Dynasty 800 will do it.

I dug up some of the build photos.  I tried to keep them in order but they still posted out of order, oh well.    If any of you have experience welding a chassis together you’ll know about moving metal. Even with bolting it to the fixture table this chit moves when you weld it. It’s not easy...

Just some photos of the group we roll with. Maybe you've seen us at Gordons? Ok back to the build. Is there something you see that very few cars have these days? You got it, DOORS! We were tired of crawling into and falling out of the car. Decided to build it with them from the get go instead...

Just a few pics of what I'm having built for us. It will eventually encompass 350' of 1 3/4 x .120 4130, so needless to say it will be a heavy bitch! We're doing this primarily in the interest of safety, and to make a few changes to our current frame. We dune with a couple of very nice cars, a...

They're just around the corner from AZ Transaxle, they've got a lot of sample seats in their showroom. The owner Herbie is a good guy. I had to give Foddrills the order though, Triple X will not deal directly with the public.  I don't have ours mounted in the new car yet, but they looked good...

What you have posted is the reason I don't contribute here much anymore, I try to be positive and post something that may be helpful and there's always someone who posts right up behind me and says no that's not how to do it, or that will never work, or in this case making a mockery of someone's...
