    Found another reason to have a dually!!!

    On the way to PIR in Phoenix this past thursday night I had the inside rear tire shred. It took the fender flare liner and mud flat out but did no other damage thank goodness. There was just a bunch of viberation and after I pulled off to the side to inspect the damage I changed the tire aand...

    Backup Camera v2.0?

    The wired cameras I have seen have the 12 volts + and the ground. The video signal is usually a yellow wire and another one will probably turn on the camera when shifting into reverse. The video conn is usually a RCA type connector. I would recommend scraping off some of the insulation on the...

    Holiday Traffic and My F350 Dually

    Took the wife and my mom (84) out yesterday to do some shopping and took "Big Louie" the dually. I had forgotten how nice it is to have the biggest vehicle in the lot, especially with those women trying to drive around while talking on their cell. Even the Tijuana plated drivers let me...

    Finally shot my Walker 44 black powder

    Long johns, what are those??!! At the range the temp was about mid 70s, typical for the San Diego area this time of year. The smell has finally gone away after a couple of days and my nose took a day or so to clear out!! The pistols make a loud boooom sort of sound where as the 357 my daughter...

    Finally shot my Walker 44 black powder

    The South Bay Rod and Gun range reopened this week in the Delzura area after the bad fire storms we had and I finally got to shot several cylinders of balls. I was surprised the recoil was not too bad and the smoke and noise was about what the folks at the gun shop in Lancaster CA told me it...

    California Fires

    Bush flew into town yesterday and had a meeting with the fire fighters and gave a short speech. I thought it was funny that he mentioned it was great to have a govenor "who would take charge and get things done"! Too bad Arnie wasn't in LA a few years ago I guess! I noticed those fire fighters...

    California Fires

    Thanks for the thoughts. Another item that made it into the news, just slightly, was the fact that we have Predator drones down here for border security and some of their people asked if they could be used to spot flare ups, especially in some of the rough moutain areas and was told to forget...

    Help, Need Holster Options For Sig P229R W/TLR-1

    I saw a holster on the Guns and Ammo TV show that allowed the gun to come out the front and was used mainly for rail mount lasers. I have also been trying to find one as I have a 226 with a laser mounted underneath.

    California Fires

    We live in Chula Vista, just south of San Diego and for a while it was in line for the fire that was closest to the border but it has since been knocked way way down and the rest has turned sort of northward. We actually saw some blue sky just before sun down this evening. Yesterday my daughter...

    Engine stalls at idle when over 80 degrees?

    This has got me stumped somewhat. The truck is a 2000, F350 dually, Edge w/attitude programmer, AFE stage 2 intake and 4 inch SS exhaust with Magnafow muffler. The truck runs fantastic and I have even started driving it to the office as I like the flat screen nav system! Aways, when outside air...

    train horn

    I mounted mine on the roof, Hadley dual setup. Granted they are not a huge setup but get by. I have the air valve in the little overhead console and a pull lanyard like the big guys. I mounted the air compressor and tank inside the left frame rail just under the drivers door and there is a cover...

    Going to tow for first time.....

    Several things that might help. - Do a practice tow for 20 to 30 miles to see what it is like and get used to the trailer, preferably with hills. - Practice backing up, nothing is more embarrasing than a problem in a parking lot full of other guys in their rigs. - See how tight you can turn...

    Roof rack lights

    I use trailer connectors on my race car as they are also vibration proof pretty much as well as the water proof. I would run the light wires from the engine compt down the frame rail and up between the cab and bed. That way there are no holes in the sheet metal.

    New Monitor for my PC, a 24 inch Samsung

    That NVidia video card I bought has two connections on it and a jumper connection so you can add a second card and sync then. That would allow a total of FOUR of those monitors, whew just sort of blows your mind if you like to play games!

    New Monitor for my PC, a 24 inch Samsung

    I bought the monitor at Best Buy mainly since everything I have bought in the past year has had the price go down and I get $$$ back! The large monitors are great for us old folks and when you run the DPI up and then max out the resolution things get really big and easy to see. I have a bit more...

    Vintage Race Engine Picts

    The flathead was in an old sprint/Indy car and popped and banged like I remembered when I was a kid in the 50's. My favorite is the injected Hemi, a REAL Hemi not one of these new kind!
