Death Trailer is coming along nicely. In fact, a nice coat of International Red Machine Implement Paint dries as I post this. Boards for RamCharger hauling and wiring may be finished by the close of the weekend.

Fuel Cell and general reorganization of the rear compartment to come soon. Just in time to measure for drive shafts.  :steeringwheel: :confused2: :violent1: :icon_salut:

Any tips and tricks known for popping the rear windows out while leaving the inner trim intact?  :dontknow:

After a long weekend, new axels, new wheels, new tires, new springs are installed, and Oh My. Went from a 6 Pack, to a 6 Pack of Tall Boys. :)

Drive shifts will be ordered this weekend!

More work to be done this weekend as well, updates to follow!

Projects / Project Keystone: Declassified

Many of you may not be aware of what was brewing, pun intended, in ole Wimberley, Texas.  ::) About three years ago I was invited to tag along at Marble Falls Adventure Park with some members here, and really get my first taste of real rocks with real repercussions; I was fortunate to be riding in a well built machine, and certainly enjoyed the experience. Two years ago I was somehow talked into the notion that I was in need of a 4x4 trail rig to keep up with some buddies and this love of "wheelin". After many a humbugs, ehhs, ahhs, maybe's, and tomorrows, an ad on Craigslist appeared, and lo and behold, it was in Wimberley, our backyard. We loaded up and went searching the backroads for this elixir. We found it, guarded by quite the collection of characters, beaten, bruised, broken in many areas, doors falling off, engine sputtering and burning whatever poor oil was still there. A handshake later, it was mine, and we awaited delivery a few days later. While questioning this purchase, the RamCharger was delivered from a flat pull across town. Needless to say the brakes were on fire, and as the smoke dissipated, we were left with what was really in front of us....the greatest vehicle on earth. Keystone, as it was later dubbed for obvious reasons, (if its not obvious its not for you) would soon come to symbolize the true underdog, which certainly saw its fair share of usage on the Hook of Shame. You may ask yourself, well, why didn't you drag this poor molested vehicle back into the wilderness and put it out of its misery? Because, despite being bone stock, floating on old tires with questionable (at best) brakes Keystone went just about everywhere and anywhere you could point it. Numerous attempts and trips were made with a goal to simply break parts; all of which failed.  :dontknow:

Pictures of some of the first runs and Marble Falls are attached. Fortunately, after two years of parts accumulations and innumerable man-hours from friends with the DodgeSickness, Keystone is on the way up.  :confused2:

Pictures of the transformation to come soon.  :headbang:

General Discussion / Brake Controllers - Best Value
March 25, 2015, 07:38:35 AM
Good Morning, Gents

I am looking to install a Brake Controller for a 1999 Chevy Silverado. The trailer will most likely only have one braking axel, and should be a simple setup. However, I wanted to check in to see if anyone had some recommendations on the "best bang for your buck" on the market today. Thank you! :victory:

Eric, can you tell what the name of that trail is?
#160
One winch, a good rope, and some dead weight.

Noah has a winch :great:, I have a good rope :dance:....Eric?  :violent1:
#161
Winching time!
#162
Next go round lets add it to the list. Time to winch lol.
#163
I honestly thought some videos of actual trails might surface from this scholarly discussion.

I have seen videos of "Loose Rock", and it looks like a ton of fun, but I cannot remember ever trying it. Lift not required so its intriguing.  :violent1:

If you had a mic....would you have dropped it?  :035:

You seem to enjoy breaking parts. Its a sick and twisted deal with Dodge Gods if you ask me.
