    Fancy New seats / Top off

    I got my fancy new seats in. A bit of an upgrade I would say. I got them at the junkyard originally for a Ranger, But they didn't work. They are from a 2007 Mustang. Don't hate me for mixing brands, I already had civilian blazer seats and I couldn't let them go to waste. I made my own...

    Looks like a useful piece of equipment. If you need one. I don't have quite the fleet... yet. The green one next to it has 8 bolt cucv type wheels. It is 20 years newer too. They seem to be doing more auctions in my neck of the woods lately, I'm getting an m101a2 from the same place and I...

    What is this trailer?

    It says it is a gas powered Lubricating and servicing unit. I'm not sure, it might be mounted on an m101? or maybe m105? So I was wondering what does it do?

    Shake/Shudder from 25-45 mph

    Your tires may be cupped a little. If you back tires are cupped, you won't notice until you rotate them to the front. They could be balanced but still shake no matter what. Also, a broken belt in the tire will shake really bad. You can usually see a bump in the tread if it is broken though.

    Interesting, I just figured the dmv people were lazy, or morons, or a combination. Mine is a D10 Military Blazer.

    Fuel economy mods?

    I wish mine was getting 20 mpg. I am stuck at 16. I think If you really want an improvement, you need a 700R4. But then you wouldn't have the th400. :( I tried that power service fuel additive, and it dropped to 13mpg. Won't try that again. I try not to look at the $$$$ when I fill up...

    License Plate Light

    Yep, I looked it up and it says Every vehicle does need a light. There must be some exceptions. The cop was an alright guy except for pulling me over and all. He didn't give me a ticket for the light, but that may be because I was already getting a $380 ticket for not being able to find my...

    License Plate Light

    So my friends and I were driving through a parking lot with about 1.5' of water. Maybe 5 mph getting a free car wash, when we see johnny law coming from about a mile away, park and hide with his lights off waiting for us to come out. He must think he is camoflage maybe? :lol: So after one...

    33's and No Lift

    I talked to a guy named joel, and they shipped fast. We'll see how they do if I have problems. I'm not sure how long I will keep them on, but I'll watch them. I'm thinking about fixing my saggy butt. Maybe I will lift it slightly, but he ride height is just about perfect just with the bigger...

    33's and No Lift

    RE: 33 I do like how it runs on the highway and the streets. It still keeps up with traffic just fine. I think they are the same company but new name maybe. I'll keep an eye on them. Considering the BFgoodrich mud terrains cost $190 a peice new at my place, I think for $80 It would not be as...
