LS swap

 

The front bumper situation just depresses me at this point. No clue what I'm going to do.

What are the laws on running that lightbar? I know as a department of transportation employee here in Texas we can run blue and orange lights. Construction crews sometimes run blue and red and get in trouble.

 

race bug

 

My welding thread has surpassed my build thread, both in quality and progress

 

You say that till you put the car away a carburetor for winter

My bosses MIL has a 70s triumph tr6 that's been fully restored and it went from starting first turn to running like shit for no reason a month ago it's started, run, and driven regularly with fuel stabilizer in the tank.

 

You can use Amber or Green lights here. I have blue lightbar from Texas and it came from a tow truck. You can’t use blue here.

Fire Departments, EMS, and CalTrans use Red, police use Red and Blue, and everyone else uses Amber. Some rare ones use Green.

 

The only way that Mercedes is worth $500 is if there’s a $450 hooker in the backseat.

 

So I can assume the gas tank is full too, amirite

 

You pay more for the Japanese engineering but my best recommendation is Honda followed very very closely by Kawasaki (Honestly depends on application as too which I'd recommend)

We install the 1000cc kohler v twin on a hydraulic power pack that can produce 15GPM at 2000psi. When my boss originally designed it he used a kohler 25hp for his 12GPM unit and the 40hp on the 15GPM (actually 37 but they call it 40)

regretfully He's stuck on keeping them because the 40 is slightly less money than the Honda we now put on the 12gpm unit. Thankfully is was easy to switch him over because, even though the Honda costs so much, the Kohler was dropping Valve seats into the motor and destroying engines LOL

 

Is this your flat bed? I think this is the first time I've seen a picture of it.. it's so flat!

 

Better representation of it now.

Both my build threads follow the trucks

the 99’s has rusted and died out

the 02 never really took off

 

The flatbed is hawt

 

Hitting whitetail deer at ~40mph is less than ideal with it. Really worried about my 75mph ~4 hour night drive this weekend in it.

 

I've been lucky in the 04. Although I haven't hit a giant buck in it and nothing at highway speeds. Just feel like I have a fighting chance with a bumper. If I hit anything now it's going home on a tow truck and @JKO1998 gets the flatbed off it.

 

Freakin A

 

If you don’t stop talking about the 99, Dan might buy it.

 

I have the right to refuse service

 

I can dig it, thats awesome.

How much more than a normal bed do you think it weighs?

 

I’ve hit 4 in the 99 and definitely not the same as it was when I got it
