I decided to do some upgrades to the 302 in my boat this summer. After I pulled the heads off I noticed one of the cylinders had some evidence of rust pitting. I took the block to get machined and I just got a call that that cylinder wont clean up .030 over and they recommend sleeving it. The...

I have a need for an enclosed trailer in the 10-16 foot range, but I have some wants that no one seems to make in a trailer that size. Wants: Gooseneck hitch 10-16 foot deck length Ramp rear door Camper style side door (ability to open from inside too) Two axle Ability to convert...

Well, I've been a little quiet on this board after selling off my RBV's, but I figured some would be interested in my latest project. I'm in the process of putting together a 4'x4' plasma table I'm hoping to be able to cut up to 1/2" thick steel on it. I already have the main table portion...

I've been seriously thinking lately to take a hiatus from "Off Roading" as a hobby. It's probably been at least 3 years since I've been to an off road park. They are mostly a pretty good drive from where I live except a private club one that's close where most of the rigs are buggies with...

I happened to think think this after seeing his B2 in one of the site banners. Looks like he hasn't posted since April 2010. Anyone know where he went? He had a pretty cool/capable B2 and had a ton of B2 knowledge!

I was wondering if anyone had any micro red dots that they like. Right now I'm leading toward the Bushnell TRS-25 with the Primary Arms Micro Dot a close 2nd. I would like to have the dot be 3moa or smaller as I may try adding a magnifier to complement it in the future. I'm not looking to spend...

I'm checking interest if anyone is interested in the Power trax locker that is currently in my explorer. It is for a 31 spline 8.8 with an open carrier. It has been in there for about 40k miles and I've never had a problem with it. I'm selling the explorer and I don't think it is going to be...

I'm selling the aftermarket throttle body off of my explorer. I think it will fit on SOHC 4.0's from 1997 to 2001. It gave me a huge seat of the pants gain, and a lot better throttle response. I took it off because I'm selling the explorer. You will need to use your stock throttle position...

I'm going to be selling the explorer soon because we don't really use it anymore since I got my truck (hasn't even had enough miles put on it for a change of oil in the last year). The main flaw with it is that the rocker panels are really rusted out. The drivers side is literally half gone, and...

Well, it's been awhile since I've shown the explorer some love and with the SMORR run coming up I figured it was time to make some bumpers that weren't made of scrap steel and were actually presentable. Out with the old... Notice all the rust on the rear, gotta love living in the rust belt...

Background: I have an 05 f250 crew cab long box. I have an over-sized toolbox in it and I was wanting a tonneau cover while keeping my toolbox. I also wanted a hard top style that couldn't be cut with a knife. I lucked out an picked up a LEER fiberglass hard top tonneau cover for a shortbox...

Well as some of you know, I've been looking for a tow rig/new dd for awhile. I finally found exactly what I was looking for (well almost, the 7.3 was the first choice) for a price I couldn't refuse. I picked up a 2005 f250 crew cab 4x4 lariat with the 6.0 turbo diesel tonight from a friend of my...

Sad day for my Alma Mater...

I'm sure most of us send gen owners have had to replace the front wheel bearings. I got an idea to use the hub part as a tire carrier for a trailer with the same bolt pattern. I'm sure I'm not the first to do this, but here are a couple of pictures to show what I did. I also may use this idea...

How much weight will I save if I switch to aluminum heads on a marine 302, as opposed to the stock cast steel/iron ones?

I've been a member of Eb@y for over 7 years with 144 transactions with 100% positive feedback. Over a month ago I sold and shipped an item that was insured by the shipper. The guy just called me today saying that he finally got around to opening the package (keep in mind this is over a month...

For my B2 project, I'm running a ford D20 transfer case from a early bronco (it's a J -shift) . I'm toying with the idea of getting one of the PTO winches for it, but they are pretty rare. Does anyone know if a Jeep or international D20 PTO output will fit a FORD D20?

What is this part called? It is what the square ubolts bolt through since the diff is too close to the knuckles so it can't use regular u bolts over the axle tube. I need to track one down to finish up my B2's SAS.

I picked up my band saw a year and a half ago from an auction it came with a blade on it that lasted me about a year. When it broke, I picked up a couple new ones at Harbor Freight of varying tooth pitch to see what worked the best ($8 ea). They both cut ok, but went dull after half of a week or...

Well, I thought I would start a separate thread for this than my B2 SAS in case anyone else is interested in doing a similar swap since most will swap in a 4.0 or 302 v8 into a B2 and as of yet I have not found a B2 with the inline 300. My reasons for choosing an inline 300 engine 1. I wanted...

Here's a coupon if anyone needs it for something. I got it in an email from them and thought I'd pass it along. http://www.harborfreightusa.com/usa/common/displayCoupon.do?week=4409&campaign=RetailB&page=coupon1.html&single=true&r=6479_311215&cust=78100659050&keycode=0000

I'm planning on putting a carbed ford 300 into the B2 I'm building up. I think I've got a running engine lined up that will need a rebuild before I put it in. Is there anything that really livens up these engines other than standard intake, exhaust mods, like a favorite cam for good low end?

Well, apparently our dogs like the shocks I got for the B2. This is what we found when we came home today....

Picked this up this weekend since we live less than a mile from the largest lake in Iowa, even though it isn't really that big... I really like the shape of these boats especially for the age of them. It currently has a 140 mercruiser inboard, but it won't be in there for long. Lets just say I...
