    What have you done to your square lately??

    Now that the bedliner is in and (mostly) cured I bolted in my new tiedowns That’s water pooled/spotted in the pics. Monstaliner recommends misting the surface after initial setup to help the curing process.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Friday I scuffed and prepped the bed. I bought one of those nylon cup brushes that are raved about for bedliner prep and I am not a fan. I ended up just doing it by hand with some aggressive scotch-brite type pads that were included in the Monstaliner kit. It took me about an hour and a half...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    There were some holes drilled in the bed already that I’d guess had eye bolts through ‘em at some point. I hammered the deformed holes flat, drilled to 7/16”, drilled a few more holes and installed stainless rivnuts to hold tiedown hooks. I can say the youtube “bolt/washer/nut” combo was a PITA...

    I'd keep shopping.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    What do you need constant power for? Just curious since I just charge my phone or run the occasional inflator.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    The reason the lighter didn't work was the wire to it was tapped shoddily and the socket was kinda beat up so when I went to fix it I added a relay along with a new socket. I can't think of a single reason why I'd want it to work with the key "off" and I know that at some point I'll leave...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I replaced the cigarette lighter and wired it to only work when the key is on. A small project but worth it.

    4x4 with 31x10.5/15 tire. Anyone running this size tire on stock lift??

    31x10.5 on 15x8 As far as I can tell I see no indications of it being lifted BUT these trucks aren't my strong suit Same size tire but more of a street tread on factory steel wheels with 1.5" spacers (they were on it when I bought it last month)

    New AR Outlaws and Wildpeaks

    I had 'em on my ex-2010 Raptor and was real happy. Relatively quiet and comfortable on the highway with pretty good grip in the snow/dirt/mud. They aren't horribly priced either so they were an easy choice.

    New AR Outlaws and Wildpeaks

    The stock steel wheels had 1.5" spacers AND bargain tires so I'm sure my ride was suffering a bit. Not sure if the spacers were required to make the steelies fit or if they were added for stance. I've only had the truck for a few weeks so I haven't gone over everything yet. Anyway, today I...

    1986 K10 - 350 Stalling under load, after warmed up

    Try driving it with the fuel cap off. Just a guess that since it running normally for a few and then starving for fuel the cap may not be venting properly.

    Back in the fold

    This was the K10 and the F100 (straight 6/4spd) it was traded for. Truth be told I probably lean more towards Fords BUT I like everything “cool” including some imports. I was on the hunt for another F100 4x4 but finding a nice one isn’t easy. There are way more nice K10/K20 for “reasonable”...

    Back in the fold

    I joined here with a few questions about a dozen years ago when I bought a K10 from Colorado. Very shortly after someone offered be a ‘78 F100 that I could not pass up in trade so I moved to the Ford forums rather than being crucified here for my decision. Well, I’ve returned. I closed the...

    My 228hp go cart…..’23 MINI JCW. It makes my 75 mile roundtrip commute enjoyable and the 33mpg is a bonus.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Swapped my quadrajet for a Jet quadrajet rebuild from Summit. Pulled the EGR and plugged some vacuum lines. Truck runs kick ass......I'll tune it a bit and flush the coolant tomorrow.

    Heater Control Issue

    So just to give an update...... I drove the truck the other day when it was about 24 degrees out in the morning and even with it blowing just out of the defroster vents the truck warmed up fine inside. For right now I probably won't mess with it much for now. I have to finish cleaning off the...

    "Hey" from Ohio!

    Too bad you didn't mention that earlier.......I just got new tires for the 16" rims or I would have swapped in a heartbeat. I just got a set of GM rally wheel center caps that I'm going to mod to fit these wheels so I'll be happy with 'em then.

    Heater Control Issue

    Interesting info. Thanks and I'll be sure to post plenty of pics when I tear into it. I have to give the truck an oil change and tune-up first so it may not be for a few days when I get some time. it's not a huge deal since it still gets toast in the cab but having it functioning properly would...

    Heater Control Issue

    So this is the control unit for my a/c and heating...... On the "DEF" setting plenty of heat comes out of the windshield vents and some at the floor. On the "A/C" setting air primarily comes out of the dash vents (but it isn't nearly as warm even with the temp setting fully on "Hot"). The...

    "Hey" from Ohio!

    In a restore situation I think that's a great idea to do to the body and/frame. In my situation I'd be Rhino Lining over break lines, electrical cables, fasteners, etc which could make my life real difficult down the road.

    "Hey" from Ohio!

    Nothing crazy. I throw it up on ramps, pressure wash the undercarriage then once it dries navel jelly and/or sand/grind any rusty areas and coat with paint or Por-15. I'm sure it doesn't do much or last long but I also spray hard to get to areas down with a light penetrating oil. As far as body...

    "Hey" from Ohio!

    Thanks for all of the "welcomes"! If I start with something rusty then there isn't much sense in trying to keep it from getting far worse over several winters plus it looks like crap when the weather is decent. Start with something rust free and all it takes is some effort to keep it looking...
