As noted in my Lego collection thread I ordered the UNIMOG set. It showed up Tuesday morning via FEDEX. This is a huge set, at 2048 pieces! 16 bags of parts plus the wheels/tires, an electric motor and the battery box. There was four sets of bags, numbered 1-4, with varying number of bags...

As I'm sure many on here (that live in the snow belts) know, the snow plows can reek havoc on our mail boxes and posts. My current mail box is twisted in the ground and leaning over about 10-15 degrees. So I came up with an idea to make a much sturdier stand. Using 3/16" thick 1" angle iron I...

I came across several used horse shoes while cleaning off the work bench, and putting stuff in my "new" tool box setup. Was trying to come up with something to do with them. So I decided to make a flower planter for my mother. (she loves it by the way!) I forgot to take pics as it progressed...

Meet up with Ranger McLaren and his wife, last Saturday, to check out the Goodguys car show. Thought I would share some pics of the cars/trucks I thought were cool. F100 Ranger! Mid 70's, but I don't remember the exact year. Bad ass tow truck, dubbed towmater sr! real clean Ranchero...

At the meet and greet we did at Jim's place, couple of folks were wondering what is that I do for a living. Well simply put I work on semi's, and this was a little project I worked on Sunday night. I messed up and realized I needed a before pic, after I started to tare it apart so the in...

I decided to bring home the top box from my work to use at home, since my tool collection is getting to big for my small craftsman box here. Needing some storage space I wanted to build a "cart" for this thing to sit on. Got started on it today; I'm using some 1" square tube that has an 1/8"...

I have a cap on the back of my truck now (2003 FX4) and I'm wondering is there somewhere I can tap into the third brake light wiring? I've been searching the wonderful world of the interwebs with no luck. I have an idea for a wiring project, but I would like to be able to make the brake...

We had discussed a Lego V8 engine in another thread and I mentioned it would make a great addition to my collection. Was told to post up some pics of my models. So here it goes. My largest model so far, it's over 24" long has a working boom and outriggers. This next one has four wheel...

OK after looking over the map real close, I think maybe I might have a plan. (Unless someone else has a better one!) Depending on where it comes into the state (PA or WV) I'm thinking all of the members from the major regions could meet and pass to next region. I've got Jspafford...

OK fellas here it goes, my canvas started off with a factory stock '03 FX4 Level II, that I bought three years ago on the 13th of April 2007 (which by the way was a Friday that year!) Unfortunately I do not have a picture of when I first got her. Just imagine the following two pics with the...

My pinion seal on the rear axle is leaking. (leaves a slight puddle after awhile) Went to change out the other day, and found that the yoke moves quite a bit. So I'm thinking the bearing is bad, the question is: Does the bearing and race all come out the nose of the diff. or does it have to come...

Anyone real close to or in Buffalo? I will be heading up that way at the end of the month for some training through work. I am wondering where might be a good place to get some wings? I'm willing to meet up with anyone for said tasty treats! I'm not sure what days I will be there yet...

I have that ugly @$$ honey comb grill on my truck, and would like to take it off and "modify" it some. does anyone here know how to get the blooming thing off?? I took the four screws out across the top and no luck, I'm gonna look and see if I have a small mirror to check the back side for...

Not really sure where to put this so if in the wrong forum please feel free to move. Had to get a new hood for my sisters car ('04 Hyundai Elantra) and found a place that has really good prices. check out CERTIFIT.COM found me a grill for my truck. I want the chrome bar style for $32.75...

need a quick answer so I can order parts. I need to replace my clutch but since I have to do it at work after all stores are closed I have to buy a new flywheel instaed of having it turned. My question is how many teeth does the flywheel in a '03 4.0L with the M5OD have? several places show...

+1 to what Wicked said. I fit one from another vehicle I had, to my '03s 4.0l and it made absolutely NO difference in power or fuel mileage what so ever.
