I would love to get a all band all mode radio that would be in the 100-200 watt range, but most antennas that will cover 25mhz to 500mhz don't look to durable for off road. That's the problem with multi-band antennas. We designed a great dual band (VHF / UHF) antenna years ago but have been hesitan...

Great shots!

Throttle body came in today… parts are starting to accumulate for the engine rebuild!

Dang. Bummer. I always use a gasket and a small amount of sealant (I like Motorcraft TA-31). And if the timing cover is even remotely sketchy, I replace it. Good luck, brother!

Ah, ok. That sucks. I’ve been out of parts for a while. Seems like the green boot joints from NAPA are the way to go?

You shouldn't need to change the seal if it's not leaking (but I get that it's easy maintenance while you're there). Alignments can be a lot of work if there are worn components since you can't really set it that way. As soon as the car moves, drag, gravity, etc., will push it out of alignment again...

Wilson Truck Comments - The ABS kit was not one of my great ideas. They worked ok after a bunch of tweaking. Looks like Steve is making it more conventional. My decision for ABS was the significant increase in line pressure versus stock. Oh well. Yes it is a 7000 # rig and needs really good brakes....

Working really well! Todd Z. Thanks! I’m REALLY happy with it. The car has always handled well and is super comfortable in the rough, but I’d never made time to tune it… finally decided to do something about it and, of course, I should have done it sooner! Next up… just received my ported intake ma...

Pre-R2R shock rebuild (and video above)…

Shocks out… I like using the stock (but extended) inner fender-liners. They provide plenty of protection and remove in about 5 minutes… makes it way easier to get to things!

Per usual, Rage to the River was a rad time! A recent re-valve in the front shocks (and removal of internal bypass components) paid off big time. The car drove like I wanted it to and took the rough and big bumps even better than it used to… can’t wait to get it out again for New Year’s. https://you...

I had these done for a customer by OMF recently

Those look great! I was going to have some done for Wilson but then thought about the fact that I’ve never had a headlock failure… keeping mine simple (for now), but those look great!

It’s that time of the year. Prepping for Rage to the River... I can’t say it’s last-minute, but certainly later than I’d like, but this on [every trip] sneaks up on me. Despite the ample warning! I’m getting some basic prep/look over done on the car, and hoping to hand off the checklists to baby kid...

I only ever used stock pitman arms on the "cut and turn" front ends. I had a lot of people tell me it would drive better with a dropped pitman arm but never tried it... because I never felt the need. In other words, they drove great. Do you have a stock arm you can try?

Dang! That looks good!!!

What is it?

Good morning. Got it. They definitely don’t seem to have a quick turnaround… I’ve been trying to get them to send me an invoice for about a week now… that reminds me… gotta shoot them a reminder. Ha!
