i recently bought a 16x 7.5 enclosed trailer to move and store my 1930 model A. ~2000lbs. It is a tight squeeze, but it did fit. Thake it for what it's worth, I drive a 2014 Chevy 1500 and wouldn't do it with anything less. Brake controler and good tie downs are a must. Wind resistance is...

What do your drivers side control arms/ bushings look like? If they are loose and the drivers side tire moves backwards under acceleration and forward under braking, but the passenger side does not, it may feel like torque steer. The new tighter steering may just be amplifying an issue that you...

Im looking for a little bit of information on the transmission in my 06 gmc sierra 1500, and I was hoping you all might have a little insight. Some wheel spin going out the driveway in the snow the other day seems to have taken out 3rd and 4th gear. When in D or 3 the truck acts like it is in...

I am running the AA kit with an ax-15 and a front shaft from a grand cherokee. I do not remember what combination year/ engine/ transmission it came off of, but it was listed on ebay as 32.5" collapsed length. I am running it with an 8.8, which has a pinion length close to the 8.25. I believe...

Yeah, thanks everyone, but I got it figured out. The original builder installed the rear expansion plug too deep. It caused the cam to rub on the plug, and stick out the front of the block about 1/8th of an inch. This caused misalignment of the timing chain, which tore itself apart and killed my...

I bought my stroker about 3 years and 15k miles ago. I got it as a long block, so until now I had never been inside it. A month ago I started to suspect it was developing a rod knock under load. Last week it got significantly louder, and I decided it was time to pull the engine. After gutting...

Re: The Colorado BS thread Looking for someone to load/ move a big pile of logs from Redfeather to Ault. Anyone got any suggestions?

Looking forward to seeing the halo welded to the drip rail. Been dreaming of something similar, but haven't ever seen it done. Everything looks great. I love the extra attention keeping the tube work tight to the body. Looks very clean. Lightfoot

Tightening down LCA bushings while the rig is jacked up can contribute to death wobble. It loads the rubber bushings when you drop it to ride height.

I was guessing you either worked there, or shared a shop. I live only about a mile up route one so I see your jeep pretty often flexed out on the hill. The wheels give it away. This was the first time I really got to hear the turbo though. Very cool. Out of curiosity, if you could manage to fit...

Saw you blast out of the light on Terry lake and College a couple days ago and it made me very happy inside. Its definitely making me debate between going LS swap or turbo stroker. Rig looks great with the bumpers back on. Lightfoot
