    “The 6.9” project thread

    So I honestly really want to jump it again or blow it up, but truthfully it runs good. Tranny is weird. But there are some guys at my work that need a car, and I think 500$ or so is a good price for something to drive to work. If they don’t want it though then I’m jumping it for sure

    Well hopefully this is my last weekend with the beetle. I found a cheap little ranger I’ll hopefully buy tomorrow. Will I miss this car? Sorta. It smells like crayons but it’s indestructible. It does good on gas but I can’t haul anything. 4th gear is gone, and I have no idea where the coolant is...

    Strive to be better than me!! (I’m sure you probably are lol). My granddad always says that every weld you make should be better than the last one. I think that applies to everything (I’m sure that’s why he says it) because you don’t have to be perfect, we never will be, but it’s always good to...

    I spent all day building this filter setup because the last one I built 2 years ago definitely looked like something I would’ve built 2 years ago lol This will keep the pump from getting a bunch of mud and water all over it.

    This perfectly depicts A, how stupid insurance is when it comes to pricing and their value of older vehicles. And B, how much I hate insurance. Did I already say that? Oops. I especially feel for people with obs 7.3 powerstrokes, 2nd gen and first gen diesel dodges. At least they can show market...

    The body shop she took it to quoted 14k to fix it. I’m not a genius but that’s insane to me. I asked them if it’s bent in front of the spring hangers and they said they are not sure. Seems fishy. Supposed to be her family friend. I question everything, I think they don’t want to fix it.

    Might be a little much but I deleted some of my post and the pictures of her ranger just in case. It’s not going too well with insurance so who knows what will happen

    Yeah man, I’m sorry about all that. I don’t trust any insurance as far as I could throw them. Although mine has been helpful, I’ve never actually needed them for anything big.

    Oh yeah. So his insurance is already trying to not pay for ****. So she’s going for a settlement and are going to keep the truck with a clean title. HOPEFULLY that’s how it goes down. I mean he was in fault in about 200 different ways and the cops even said it so.

    I guess rangers of that year have a 2 piece frame that’s riveted together at the leaf spring hanger. You can swap the sections by drilling the rivets. I wonder if Emily knows how to use and air hammer…. I might not be romantic but I didn’t spend all of highschool with a wrench in my hand for...

    Man I hate California drivers. My girlfriend was cruising along a 4 lane and some guy thought he could squeeze between her and truck.

    There we go. Finished the welding. It’s only 107 today so figured it was a great time to lose 40 pounds in sweat

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Well I’m smart enough to not burry it anymore, but I’ll definitely still have fun with it LOL

    Welded the traction bar brackets on. Kinda. I did one little pass because the welder I’m using is set up for some thin stuff. I gotta roll the truck around to the other side to use the big one. I know a lot of people don’t like welding to frames but I’ve seen/done it so many times by now on...

    @IDIBRONCO @1mouse3 if I could avoid Sacramento I would, but unfortunately I have to drive through it no matter where I’m going, just because of geography LOL

    Dude! The same overpass yesterday, it’s kinda of a downhill left turn almost like an on ramp. This lady in a crv slams on her brakes for no apparent reason and there are too many cars to merge. I lock the truck up and then pinch the trailer brakes as hard as I can while cranking the setting with...

    Man I felt so bad yesterday, I was coming off this overpass with the skid steer and saw a tire in the road. Barely missed it. Once I looked up I saw an absolutely fresh f550 service truck, I mean it was beautiful man. The driver front tire had blown up and completely ripped off the fender and...

    A couple things. I used to gorilla adhesive stuff that’s good for metal on the roof support that was not supporting anymore and it’s very strong now, hopefully it’ll last. I also painted the inner fender. Finished the body mount bushings. Also put sound deadening on the firewall as you can see...
