One officer shot as car tries to run through barrier on Penn. ave.

I'm going to try to make this one. Need to really give my new ORI struts a work out. Only thing I really have to do is to get permanent tags for the trailer. My temp tag will be out. My last two times down there this year someone in our group has :roll: lol. The last trip my camera did...

Since I've gone to ORI struts I have no use for these Fox coilovers. They're 2.0 x 10" travel. No leaks oil or nitrogen. They will ship with no nitrogen. Worked great on my Bronco which had great flex. One has a bent aluminum lower bolt mount. May need new shaft or just the end piece...

I've been feeding the Humming Birds for years with my homemade feeders. The feeder is right out the dinning room window which is right next to my computer. The Hummingbirds are here for only a few months nesting and then take a very long flight south. But now we have a new menace threatening...

I have one 8 lug front Dana 44 Ford 1979 3/4 ton used hub. $80 shipped lower 48. Also have one 1979 Ford used Dana 60 long side front axle shaft $80 shipped lower 48.

Having a hard time locating a Dana 60 High Pinion king pin. Finally found one for sale. The owner said it's from a 1979 and it's called the "snow fighter" of all things. Probably cause of the high pinion. But any rate, the guy is asking $800 or best offer. Is this a fair price? Hate to...

Big Dogs Summer Slam Aug 16-18 Just paid my fee for the Summer slam at Big Dogs. This will be my second trip down there this year. But the first ever trailered event that I'll take Samson with my new tow rig and trailer. No more pussy footing around and worrying how I'll get home. Any...

Looking for a Ford front Dana 60 High pinion no closed knuckle, king pin style.

Picking up a new trailer today to haul my B2 to some off roading events. Anybody have ideas or pics of some tool boxes that they mounted on their trailer or other hardware that might be appropriate. Home made or otherwise?

Have a chance to buy a 2004 F250 with 5.4 motor. But what I've read about the spark plug problem makes me wonder. Read that prior to 2003 the plugs did not have enough threads and then after that the redesigned plug with the longer reach got stuck and broke off. Should I just stay clear of...

Anyone have or used an Atlas flanged parking brake? I'm thinking of additional braking for steep down hill descents as in pulling up on the handle. There were times that shifting into neutral helped in the braking dept. Do I need to fab up a handle and cable thing? Remember this is an auto...

I know this is mostly an Explorer site but we do have some Bronco owners. June 27-29 will be one of the largest gathering of all makes of Broncos in the Nation. Today I talked to two guys at a local gas station right off of I-81 which is the main N to S Interstates in the country. They drove...

Check out the size of the Moon this weekend.

Hot on the heels of the AFN's is the Truck Nationals at Carlisle. This years dates are Aug. 2-4. Here's a link to the show plus if you want to pre-register for the Show Field, which means you save some $$ and you skip all the hassle. Just drive right in. I'm going to register for the...

For Dana 44 front axle. Could use the spindle also. But for sure the hub.

Was out Trout fishing a few days ago and just had to snap a couple of pics of some wild flowers that were in full bloom.

Well after a few years of wanting one of those military trailers that you see in the WW2 flics being towed behind a jeep, I finally got one. Not that particular one which is the M416 but one that I like better, the later model M101. It's a little larger, plus it's got a flip down tailgate. A...

Old School 4x4s demanding a high price at auctions. Wish I still had it. According to the below link, my 73 Toyota LC would have fetched a pretty Penney if kept original condition. To the tune of $88,000 for the one listed. It also made the #1 sought after. Mine cost me $3400 back in 73...

Was possibly thinking of buying a new 2013 EcoBoost F150 but after hearing they could really leave you in a bad situation as in engine falling flat on it's face, as in passing, this ain't going to happen. That's unless you live in state north of the Mason Dixon line that has lower Due Points...

Found this humongous pizza, thought I'd try wheeling on it. This was back when my Bronco was blue & white. Got hung up on the greasy pepperoni, that's when I went to a front locker.

Woke up to this. These weekly snow events are really getting old. Where's Spring?

Anybody seen or has the new Torque phone? Seems that it has what I've been waiting for. A slip proof coating, meets Mil specs as far as drop proof and water /dust proof. Some kind of new hearing enhancement feature. http://www.sprint.com/landings/kyocera_torque/index.html?ECID=vanity:torque

Anybody know of some home remedies for a tooth ache or over the counter med that might help? Need to see Dentist next week cause he's closed on weekends, fine time for all the throbbing. Just something that will help to get me through the weekend. Problem is that I can't take Ibuprofen.

My wife yesterday chaperoned a group of Middle School children including her daughter to the United States Holocaust Museum in DC. But first they went to the Air and Space Museum in Dulles VA. As you can expect there was a lot of talking and kidding around as they walked through the A&S...

Need to find a small directional LED light that would shine on my relocated OBA gauge. Not to mention made for exterior use. If possible not so bright that it distracts from driving at night. It would be located at bottom of windshield pointing toward gauge. Also if it is too bright, is...
