Well, you know the drill:flipoff2:

I got a crapload done. Finally did the SOA on in the rear, and aussie'd it at the same time. Also re-did some brake lines, realized I may have one good body mount on the whole truck, and then realized as it sits the damn thing ain't fitting through the door:laughing:

Got to get the huge shackles off the rear, then i'll fit, and give the driveshaft the extra inch it needs. Then, fill the rearend, bleed the brakes, and proceed to test the aussie. Pics to follow sometime:flipoff2:

Took my eclipse to the drags and ran a 12.8 @ 108 stock bottom and street tires full weight with power leather!!!!!


Oh and bought a 02 F350 PSD.....

Sat went to dyno mite diesels dyno days. Brought home a second place trophy and $150.:smokin: Just got home from wheeling today. Good weekend.:grinpimp:

What were the #'s you put down and what truck/motor?

370 HP 687 torque. 7.3 PSD......Nothing special really, I only went to get a $50 dyno run. Just got lucky and made a profit too.:D

Decided I didn't want to pay what people want for 12V LED's so I made up some myself to use as indicator lights. Made 50 red, 10 green, and 10 yellow for what it would have cost me to order 5 from most of the people that sell them online. I know I don't need that many, but it's cheaper to order the stuff in bulk. I'm also thinking about making up some LED tail/brakelights to put under the stock lenses.

Wife had her first doctors appointment since we found out she's pregnant, everything's great and I now have a nice little picture that looks like a lima bean on radar. :laughing:

Played army the rest of the weekend. Had my PT test on saturday, ran my first mile in 6 minutes... The second one wasn't quite so fast... ended up running 2 in 14:30. Not to bad for a smoker that hasn't ran in over a year. :flipoff2: I hate running. :mad3:

Nothing really scout related. I do hope to make some progress the next 2 weeks since I'll have the house to myself and the whole garage to play in. :D

Nothing on the Scout.... but I did order my Detroit Locker for the 14b and a master install kit. That stuff should be in shortly. Since I'm getting closer to actually swapping in the "new" running gear, I picked up one of these (http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?cat=Hand+Tools%2C+Carpentry&pid=00948292000&vertical=TOOL&subcat=Laser+Tools&BV_SessionID=@@@@0848996902.1176687892@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccckaddkjiefhdkcefecemldffidfki.0) on a tip from the shop & tool talk forum. $21 off the regular price was too good to pass up. The 24" model is also on sale for $31 off the regular price.

I didn't work on the 1100, but I did get the rest of the parts off the 200 Saturday.
The spreadbore was pulled 2 years ago when I parked the pig.

392 and 727

I was hoping after I towed it, that the 392 would be a runner. But.......

I have 2 good rear dumps :cool2:
http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u301/Blind_Driver/1100D091.jpg

I also have 2 front rotors(2wd). They spec oout at about 1.20. Anyone know the minimum thickness? On the back it looks like 1.12. They have a bit of rust, but should be ok.

I'm thinking this is a 392 improved cooling...correct?

I know how much you guys love pics :D

Went up to reddington pass to check out a new area and it turned into quite an adventure. I was having starting problems all day and the guy I was with twisted his rear drive shaft in half. After pulling him up the last big hill, he made it out in 2wd.
Today I tracked down my starting problem and fixed it, just a short in some extranious crap. All better now.

What NEW area Dirt Bag? Don't be keeping the wheeling spots secret like the pussy jeepers.

:D

All I did was goto the drag strip and run slower times than I did in Denver when the Car was bone stock. :shaking: I couldn't put the power down till past the 1/8. Man I stunk up the place. :(

Congrats. I didn't know your coal burner was such a monster. :smokin:

Just up to chimney rock, heading in the back way. Neat scenic tour for the most part. Next time I would just go in from the top to chimney rock and play around on the granite. Lots of cool features there. Too bad the scout was having issues, I might of been able to flip it:flipoff2: .

Did taxes and reuilt a D-20. I should have it in this week and wheel this weekend.

You should have said something. I would have rode up there with you.
Chimney Rock is a neat playground. It definately will test your rig out.



Like this spot.

yeah sorry I didn't call ya, it was pretty last minute. I was going to go hiking w/ Sam but couldn't find anyone to watch the dogs, so we shot up there instead.

I got longer shocks for the rear btw. it's alot better, but seems like I am still coming up short in droop. I have a few more tweaks to try, but may just wait 'til I'm back in Lander to work on it.

Took the sawsall to the Scout just to make room for the l/s exhaust and trans shifter, then took some measurements and drew up a transmission crossmember. I pm'd Shawn from Great Lakes Offroad, waiting on a reply on weld on brackets.

SAT- stayed in bed till 3pm with a migrane and hangover....:barf: :barf:

SUN- did yardwork and went to the dump, then put the 60 back under the Scout. Still waiting on parts.:shaking:

SUN- then put the 60 back under the Scout. Still waiting on parts.:shaking:

what parts you waitin for?? get that big red thing up and going!!! mines just sitting in the back yard waitin for your ass to get my lazy ass up to the mountains and wheel!!

SAT- went pheasant hunting... it was allright, if any of you hunt planted pheasants, you know what im talking about... when the dog catches more birds then you shoot, its a bad day:shaking: :shaking: pin raised birds just dont fly very well:flipoff2:

SUN- slept in, plucked the birds, then did some concrete work for a teacher, who is willing to pay me and give me a couple A's in class!!! cant pass up that offer:cool2: :flipoff2: :flipoff2: sure hope he doesnt screw me cause its an internet class and i havent even looked at it, and i have 5 wks left:barf: :shaking:

Sat it rain all day, not much got done.
Sunday pulled my engine, cam bearing issue.
While it's out I am thinking of moving the engine back say 3-4 inches. ( Anybody move there engine back that much?) If so what issues besides the fire wall. I figure I can cut and weld in some sheet metal. I want to put a lincoln electric fan up front and it's a monster, which means I need 3" Can't move the radiator forward much, big tranny cooler.

Weather was chitty so we finished some drywall work and painted upstairs all weekend.


Where did the weekend go? :confused:

I went to one of those game perserves a couple years ago in South Dakota to pheasant hunt. They had to release x number of birds per acre. I really like the way this ran their outfit... they released all the birds they had to for year at once early in the year. By the time we went up there to hunt in the fall, the birds had been running wild in the milo and corn for about 1/2 a year. They were even on their 3rd hatching of youngin's in the wild. So, even though it was a game perserve, it was pretty much just like a wild hunt.

There are some places in Alabama where they pretty much pull a bird out of a cage and throw it up in the air in front of you. :laughing: :laughing:

Weather was chitty...

Speaking of... Friday afternoon it was in the 50's so I went ahead and mowed the lawn. Friday night it started raining, the rain turned to snow and I ended up with 3 inches on the ground when I got up saturday. Saturday afternoon it was in the 50's again. I love the midwest. :shaking:

drove my son back to the denver airport. then on my way back home stopped by coonrods but he was closed... :( shoulda checked the local bar.
when i got home my dana 60 inner c's were sitting on the doorstep. anyone here have a pair of dodge/gm spindles they wanna part with? pm me....

Most of the weekend was tied up being sick, and getting the little one baptized and all of the family stuff that goes along with it.

(edit: got a pic)

But late Sunday I got my bumper and receiver hitch installed.

Shoulda run the 2x1/8" flat bar a bit farther out to the sides - the rear crossmember is a bit more visible than I expected. Bumper is slightly farther out than the stocker was.

Got the square U-bolts cut down and installed at the front end of the receiver hitch, so that's all done, too.

Still need to install the brake controller and wire up the trailer connector.

Since I was painting stuff anyhow..

Strange coincidence, I was at Sears just last night and notice that.... didn't buy it since its the first I had seen/heard of it, but now I will. Good deal for like $30.

Yes, IC. Nice crusty block... got to love it when folks start taking things apart then just let them sit with no protection :rolleyes:





Nothing for me, much. Put the now straightened spring back on the racer, only took me all week to do that 1/2 hour project. Started cleaning the shit out of my main shelf in the garage. Looking for a Vin plate for a truck I sold... no luck. Makes me wonder if it was ever on there in the first place. O-well, there are [legal] ways around that and I did get a cleaner garage out of it.

Did run up and see Hooper Sunday. Picked up a kids play-set from him (haul it out of my yard :laughing: ) and had dinner. Good to get out and see people every once in a while. I don't think we even talked IH the whole night. Now that's rare.. oh, wait, we did ;)


We did have fun watching my daughter (the little ham) take a few more steps... when she wants to :cool2: .

Nothing Scout related.

Had a yard sale...finally reclaimed my garage in the house. Sucked having to be the moving man...but oh well.

X2 Nuthin Scout related, lot's of Bob Vila Home Improvement hanging light fixtures and shiat.
I got one of those nifty Craftsman digital level angle finder things for $30 :grinpimp:

I wouldn't say I rod it....Just some basic mods. ATS\hybrid van turbo, Beans stage one injectors, DP custom chip, AFE intake, 4" exhaust............

Me too, but no pics. Nice rig, wish I would've got the chance to BS with you a bit. Friday's rain made Saturday interesting. The group I was with spent over 2.5 hours on Ingrid's, and we took a bailout because it was getting dark. I wanted to try Dozer, Quicksand, and Vertical Challenge but didn't even make it to that side of the park.

I did get a kick out of it, though...
Was I the only Scout II? No.
Only Scout II on 44's? No.
Only Scout II on 44's and coils? No.

I swear, I try and do something different...:laughing:

Friday:

I found out that my rig might be in the RRP Girls 2008 Calendar....:smokin:

Saturday:

I recorded some music in my apartment...the track "FINALLY"

http://www.myspace.com/pressfitproductions

Then I went to see THE FORECAST and had a fucking killer time with the band...:smokin:

Sunday:

Went for a hike...with a lady...then went to the lake front with same lady...

Great weekend...

Just finished doing my taxes...not so great...:(

She's cute... how much did you have to pay out to have her hang out with you :D

She's cute... how much did you have to pay out to have her hang out with you :D

More than you know my friend...more than you know...:rolleyes:

It is by the hour...so that pretty much sucks up my tow rig fund...

Yeah, yeah, yeah.... it's a couple days late. Bite me!

Picked up my Detroit Locker and master install kit for the 14b tonight. And after finishing my taxes today, I discovered I'll be getting back just about enough to cover a new set of 42's.

Nothing much on personal stuff, went to Montana for a business trip, started planing a few builds ;) ~ More on those later. Just got back last late last night ~ playing catch up now.

Dang good looking scout. :smokin:

yeah snoopy... is that what mine is gonna look like after its all said and done??:cool2: :smokin:

Better ;)

Just realized that I can't setup my 14b tonight like I was planning because I want to swap the pinion yoke for a u-bolt style instead of the stock strap style and I don't have it yet. So, today I called HAD and ordered up a 1410 u-bolt style yoke for the 14b and picked one up for the D60F while I was at it.

Well since your in the spending mood, call up Shawn at GreatLakeOffroad (http://www.greatlakeoffroad.com/parts.html) and get one of those $65 to your door 14 bolt pinion guards too:smokin:
I know your just trying to get your axles set.

Yoke guard is already on the list. ;) But I'm probably going to go with the one from BTF. I am eyeballing the GLO diff covers, though. :cool2:

Tore apart the 392 I just put in my pickup. It had very poor oiling and after trying many things to diagnose what was wrong, I decided it was time to go inside and see. Turns out the cam and bearing were out of spec, and one was trashed. Everything else is good, so it looks like a fairly easy rebuild.

http://www.binderbulletin.org/photopost/data/503/339Lifter_Gallery.jpg

http://www.binderbulletin.org/photopost/data/501/339Cam_and_crank_bearings.jpg

Then today I had so much fun tearing apart my 392, I decided to tear into Dad's 401!!

http://www.binderbulletin.org/photopost/data/501/339T_all_one.jpg

Damn intake ways almost as much as the IH. And we had been running it a mere 30 minutes before, so the damn thing was HOT:eek: !
http://www.binderbulletin.org/photopost/data/501/339T_all_two.jpg

Actually this is all because of an ongoing problem. Up until we had replaced almost everything fuel, timing and spark related with the exception of a major rebuild. Last night Dad installed a Petronix and a new dizzy. Still wouldn't run right cold and had major vacuum leaks. Finally about 8pm tonight we find it's pulling air between the intake and the heads. 30 minutes later it's as it sits now and I've got to get up early and track down the parts needed to fix it, so we can road trip on Saturday with it.
