    Winter project - K5 Blazer

    I can't wait to get it done, either, but I have to get the garage in order first. The new compressor is waiting to be wired and plumbed, and I just picked up everything to put in a sub-panel so I can keep the electric tankless water heater for the wife and still have two 50 amp outlets for the...

    Winter project - K5 Blazer

    It's 2x6, 3/16" wall. I think 2x8 would protect the body better, but it is what was at the recycler. I think I paid about $20 for 11', plus $8 to cut it in half so it would fit in my civic:lol_hitti 11' was the bare minimum I could use, just got lucky:thumbup:

    Tankless water heater opinions

    The house we're buying has one. We don't move in for another 1.5 weeks, but I see that it uses three 60 amp circuits. It causes every slot to be filled in our 200 amp service. There is also a 38 gallon gas water heater. We were told it is because of the quantity of flow into the garden tub...

    Winter project - K5 Blazer

    Ya, I'll try letting the air out of the tires first and if it still doesn't fit, I have some bare wheels. Fortunately the door of the new garage is about a foot taller:) As far as hydo assist, I've got it covered. This one is an 1 3/4" ram. I used a 2" last time with no problems. This one...

    The doubler provides an extra set of gears. This particular one uses the hi/lo range box from a NP203 and mates it to a NP205. These are all cast iron cases with gear drive and allows me to have High range, Low range and a Low/low range or 1:1, 2:1 and 4:1, plus I have modified the shift rails...

    Well, here is my first post and I haven't even done one for the garage, but that will change soon. We close on the 13th, then I'll start the garage thread, but for now, here is my Winter Vehicular Project. I hope it's done before spring. My goal is to make it very capable off road while...
