  1. These critters again ? Are You sure you want to tangle with that bad attitude looking crew ? Credit for this pic goes to @56Sierra
  2. Hm.... interesting statement ^^ being myself and bcs and severely addicted to on parol live ... that statement right here got our attention...it wouldnt be black in color and known for loosing Arkansas LE on HIGH speed chases now would it ? Oh we wont turn you in...IF ? The BRIBE is HIGH enough HINT HINT @bcsman ^^^ No comment ^^^^ Saw that one coming ^^^^ i got these two jokers just where i need them now.... uh huh... who derailed the topic this time ? Nevermind those two.... LOST cause... Lol! Being its been a few years .. best i recall one can for me was more then enough for 3 wheels.... and i dont think theses guys were so deep into PBing wheels... id go with what they recommend.... i have yet to watch this vid all the way but from the part i saw.. much better and simpler .. then i did (pulled mine off but didnt do the back side not messed up)
  3. Sweet! Yer talking bout the ol aerodyne sleepers ? My first time seeing that model was also from BJ & the Bear ..... this one clearly has a cat 3406 (i think B aka mechanical pump) 425 hp .... could be updated being it has square lights ... i would imagine the trucks on the show were powered by cummins ? Least the keworths (I think) were ? Those were very popular... for a time.. then flat tops took over for Pete's.... over time the slammed / lowered (and less height cab) stretched phat look took over like this Haha BJ's new ride
  4. Hi@Holmesy89 i see ya got my pm.... i been watching over there and after 4 or 5 post on the same topic with NO answer even i had seen enough....your in the right place now... welcome to atvh and be sure to check out the Chat room
  5. Not even touching that one ^^^^ Oh man hes started on tire brands....
  6. Yeah..... i agree, im surprised no one has started just yet.... i think the standard price for the longest time was what ? Bout 395 ? Or in the mid to upper half of the 300 dollar range... and didnt seem to take too long before the price went in an atmospheric ($900+ ?! Lol!) direction... hm..... i didnt know you had two... Interesting.... a tad bit of your pops habits rubbing off on ya are they ?
  7. Let me guess manual transmission ? Lol! Hm..... starting fluid to break down a tire ? Well yeah suppose it would work.... even heard some nut at local co-op couldnt get one to break down so dim bulb knucklehead loaded the tire up with ether... yup! Exploded right off the rim..(bout 50 feet starlight up and the rim left behind a foot print in the parking lot) ....Columbia fire deparment and columbia pd wernt so pleased being paged out for an explosion right behind hospital....
  8. Yer right..... i just dont need one that bad.... he'll get that asking price.. no doubt at all.. and i expect prices will keep going up for those units over time....i recon ill keep looking.... i still think they might come back out on the market... heck if wide open were to see some of the post in here about those units... looks like they would see bringing them back with be a plus for them.. and being they were already making them it wouldnt be like something new...surely they still have to have some of the equitment ..... to manufacture them ? Bring them back and advertise.... i bet they would take off quick... add a plus .... carve some off the original price.... i know if they did that im be in line right now.. and im sure i would be alone...
  9. You know more then most people do....i think i recall you commenting on those multi piece (snap ring wheels) killer wheels... Yeah..... do you recall when he fired it up ? Thats an air starter..... i believe that mack might have had a old school detriot plant... cant really make out the engine sounds this one is serious ..... the detriot re power isnt what impressed me .... ive seen plenty of re powered units chevys with johndeere 404 cid (both) natural and turbo models, Perkins 354t's (turbo) in fords Alice Chalmers 301 cid (turbos) in fords and chevys.... with none of that crap emissions mess no computer controls ... pure mechanical...THE WAY IT SHOUL BE!!! Ive drove just about ever small factory diesel powered truck ever made over here... minus one .... the rare 85 sfa sr5 extended cab TL-2 (pre chamber turbo diesel) Toyota diesel... inline is the only true power from a diesel .... v configure .... not as people have been led to believe..not when it comes to true ground ripping pavement peeling gear busting drive line twisting torque .... and thats a fact! ..... had rice and cane tires on a MF 1130 open station (hot plant) .... had enough pull it tore the cleats off the tires over time.... and i was told the bull gears in some international tractors are forged so hard... the can shatter like glass... if measures arnt taken when some of those tractors are trailered...Rudoff Diesel .... would be offended at how the diesel power plant was once legendary... only to see they have become nothing more then light weight junk....thats now more used to make the air smell like fast food frys.... lol..... anyways .... this unit claims to boast a 13 speed ?...thats not counting low range in the t-case.... power is nice but for true power it takes all 3 Gears weight and power....pull for pull id put that beast up against anything coming off the assembly line this day in time... cause that truck will be around long after the tin / plastic junk has been recycled.... i doubt this truck has any china junk on it...nothing much that would really matter....old school american steel!..... 77 might be a devorsed t-case model... and id like to see her underside..... and the rarest ? The ford ranger with a natural aspirated Perkins diesel factory install.... i drove one like this and yup plain jane as can be...now let me lay this out.... just about about every farmer around here was all up in the air about these small trucks especaily when tax free high sulfur red diesel fuel was allowed to be used for farm trucks.... farmers went nuts snatching up everyone of these type trucks they could find... Isuzu pups chevy Luvs drove a few << same people make the duramax) Nissan extended cab 5 speed 2d22's I.E. by far the fastest / most powerful! small diesel truck i ever drove....dusted a 6.2 pre chamber no turbo chevy 6.5 turbo and the navstar v8s ford used. And no problem hitting the 100 mph mark....with spare power in reserve and those nissans are NOT turbo models just simple four bangers..... im talking wow on power from such a small plant, Dodge Ram 50 turbo pre charmber diesel... not impressed at all.... and the the L (pre chamber no turbo) Toyota i owned.... five speed two drive bout 55 miles to a gallon of high suffer tax free red fuel... she would walk off from all of them sept that bad !!! Nissan ..... This Toyota (GOLD) is close... the colors right... the lay out is wrong (custom job ?) the model i speek of sun roof power windows power locks cruise all the gauges plus a boost /vac gauge... yes cruise with a 5 speed stick.... pull out manual locking throttle and the alt / tilt cluster is also a rare add (pic) standard on this model.....
  10. Sweet! Hm..... interesting name .... slingshot haulage... i can see that beast pulling a heavy one bango string tight.... tripple screws and a 600 plus horse inline cummins... And high wide and heavy ? <<(nice!) (not nice)>> Reminds one of oprah winfrey.... i believe thats Australian road train specail and!.. those boys down under know there stuff! Notice something on the back i've never seen before... least not on a semi as standard equipment...propane or butane tank between the stacks @ATC4ever @Fishfiles @Macarena Man Any ideas on that tank ... one thing comes to mind... back up isolated air starter supply....the dang beast has enough fuel storage to stay on the road for 6 months straight.. i want one!.(cleaned up some loose the bull bar in place of a bull bumper loose the intake stacks loose the second front steering axle flat top sleeper loose the roof conditioner slam it Alcoa wheels chrome breathers loose the gap between the bottom of the sleeper to the top of the fuel tanks stacks need to be father apart and LOOSE the yellow scheme and go with matalic turquoise or something close to Paint scheme minus all the BS thats been added < < phattened up version) also... the true breather stacks are on the front sides ...not those two in back....
  11. I believe 2006 was the year carbs ended for those and fuel injection took over.... from what ive been reading the rubber diaphragm... might just be what the problem is... have you checked it for damage (pinched or ripped) @Mac102004 thoughts ?
  12. Hi Kendallh welcome to ATVH.
  13. Ur not alone in that department...lol!
  14. Did mine just like that..... grabbed a couple beers sat on the corner of the hood... and waited...took about 15 mins but now i left out something... i was breaking down those stock h-track tires the 86 trx350 came out with... paper thin....didnt hold my my truck up like that one your dealing with....you do know about using starter fluid... i know what happened to me the 1st time i tried that.... does the word q-ball ring a bell ? Haha ......yup i blowed myself up over that one..... went to the girl friends for supper.... when i walked she looked at me... i laughted and said dont ask...this is another reason tire discussion is NOT on my list of favorite things to talk about.... several times ive ended up blad for some stupid reason or another.......
  15. Creative at breaking down tires ? More ideas then in this thread? Id like to hear them...lol!. i used the truck on a on ramp on the sidewall / bead. but shades idea (no ramp) works better. Edited: credit goes to @sled_22 for the thread starter... and a big thanks to all those who contributed.
  16. Good eye... i noticed this too... Looks like its been kindly warm in the center.

    Weather

    Been doing some looking ... being noaa aviation did the beta version update >> News and it has become more of a problem to use... or i have noticed its not as good as the older version.. however... I located this side of noaa... Sites if anyone trys the aviation version let me know thoughts on it... the people at I-alert also have mixed feelings about it.
  18. Thank you... ill tell ya another fellah that could give ya some advise on dipping and thats @m_quick i believe he did some sport wheels in black.... see if he shows up, he should.. nascar season is up and running and hes one for going to Bristol ... which is coming up 3-17-24 (this coming sunday) ... anyways ... i do believe if you do a search type in plasti or plasti-dip also elasti or kote or wrap .... some info in those post that should pop up....trick that ive tried... is shooting it close (tip to surface) 5-6 inches away.. with very quick passes.. and and for me ive found best 8-10 mins between semi wet coats.. or much more time between cured coats.... im sure the way i do it is probably wrong according to the guys at Link
  19. Bedliner like wheeler is talking about is much more robust and durable then PD (just adding that fact)
  20. Import magisium i think ? Is the right color ... @toodeep ? Do you know how many years that paint color was used ? And on what models ? All i was told was the 300 wheels and engine is where that color was used... i never researched it, but from my own testing... plasti-dip bright aluminum is about as close as one can get.... i looked high and low for the longest time for import magnesium paint.. even hit a few custom paint dealers... no one could help me out.. and the few times i was able to locate it online... the cost was astronomical ... trick to dipping with PD.... many many many thin coats... and the longer it stays the tougher it gets .... this is the end result... i think a purdy good match to the color of the crank case (stock color)... i only clean these with viniger... nothing else.. and they do shed muck and slop better then stock paint... the catch is do not use anything with petroleum products on plast-dip for any reason but one... and thats to deslove the little patches left over (after peeling if any) before completely re shooting.... dw-40 is an instant PD desolver.
  21. Sweet!.....old school flat top sleeper...... eh he could gross over a hundred thousand.. and with stacks that diameter shell thump the ground like distant rolling thunder...low tone for a long hood .... whats in the engine room ? 425B cat ? Ive drove this one a few times, belongs to a good friend of mine... i never did like those high top sleepers (like This one posted has).. nor wind fairing or wind dams.... that trucks grossed well over 100,000 lbs..... and the b model cat can shag ! with it...
  22. Hi 5fty7vn, welcome to ATVH, i had a 85 first bike i ever owned... i made the mistake of parting with it.... good looking old school Honda, weve had a few of those models pop up here in the forums lately.
