Most reliable engine is the 80s-90s f150 straight 6. Also in econolines. These engines are bullet proof. Grandpas got one And stopped changing oil 10 years ago. Still tows cars up and down hills without burning a drop of oil. 10k on a van with a $500 motor is a joke though. Seriously gonna...

Oh yeah but for truck. Any of the 4cyl trucks will get you sweet mpg and have good space. Don't expect to be towing anything you want though. Avoid a 6 or 8 cylinder unless you want a work truck. The 2.8l v6 S10 was ok on gas and could still run up hill with 1,000lbs but it's towing capacity...

My S10 is gone now so I was researching for a 30+ mpg wagon. Fell in love with 91-96 Ford Escorts. Found one after searching for a month. So now got the escort wagon. 35+ mpg without a fresh tune up and good cargo space and the seats fold down. Easily throw a lawn mower in the back and close...

Don't waste your fox if you catch any. Their meat is awesome and addictive like Chinese food. Like pork chicken. Kenny easiest animals to trap I would say are coon, possum and squirrel. The 110 conibear will work for squirrel and maybe possum. But coons are too smart and tough, need a 210. I...

Best outdoor recorder I've got is the onboard mic on my 90s Sony video8 video camera. For indoors I just use cheap usb mic hung from the ceiling recorded in audacity. Not pro but sounds good in my car on tape.

Good write up. I bought a 1978 Ford E-350 Ambulance and had that same issue with the tires.. easily overlooked when you're looking at how "Badass" it is. I would of bought it anyways, but those truckstop tires were expensive. Of course the brake lines blew (in the yard, thank god), tranny lines...

EDIT: The startup run command is Telephon.cpl - without the 'E' -- I got stuck earlier thinking I had forgot the program. I'm also bidding on an Alfa AWUS036H usb wireless adapter. This adapter ($25 without bidding) allows the use of "packet injection", which will ultimately allow the cracking...

wow I never heard of a firewall flexing. I just watched a video to see what you mean.. the guy's brake master cylinder and lines were bouncing all over the place. My Chevy is so rusted, I'm surprised I don't have that issue. Could the crack be just welded or even bandaged with a bracket...

ok.. was checking out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_broadband_modem I was looking at 1g and 2g -- I guess mine is 2g and can go like 9-14kbps. 2.5g phone can go 30-50KBPS -- which is definitely plenty for checking email. 3G can go a over 1mb. You hear about this stuff on T.V.. but...

I can spend a lot of time on figuring out the right question to ask. I failed on using the cell phone as a modem last year.. even bought an old sprint phone specifically for that purpose. But tonight I was able to successfully get on the internet with my standard $15 flip phone. The phone is...

Hey.. one time I came home and my brother was gone.. I go digging through all his stuff and checking out his projects.. he was hacking cigar box guitars and portable amps, etc. The amp he made (out of my speakers!) was just the guts of a 9v computer speaker with its 1/8th jack replaced with a...

"Yeah, rednecks were in caves, banging sticks together, they was drinking homemade wine made out of elephant testicles and shit. These were the original rednecks, back in the Caveman Cromagnon Big Dick Days, the day that everybody had a big dick, all women had motors in their pussies, nobody had...

I love this kind of stuff. The thermoelectric heatsink for a computer was the first I've ever heard of generate electricity from heat alone. That is based on what travelin said, Peltier. But also.. I started thinking about Oxygen sensors on automobiles and how they generate their own voltage...

I chickened out on building mine. I was too worried about wind and not confident enough. I'd love to see how yours ends up. I've seen guys with some really gnarly builds but never had a chance to talk about how it rides. Here's a nice site I remember well. It may be of no use to you.. but his...

Great videos on that site. Unfortunately I don't like any of those recipes. The solidified fat of the headcheese.. I can not do lol. And the blood sausage I've tried and don't like. Next deer and I will make venison pig sausage, minus the blood, loaded with paprika and dill. Since I shot the...

Oh too.. Automatic Transmission vs Manual Tranny/Clutch and FWD vs RWD and Foreign vs Domestic and OBD1 vs OBD2 Now this is me guessing and pooling all my experience together. And shouldn't be considered factual, but something to ask around and get opinions on yourself: Manual transmissions...

Get a pickup - You've got a cab and a 6ft bed. My 4cyl 2.3l Ford Ranger got 30+ mpg loaded. Get a cap and a plywood bed in the back.. then you can store all your gear underneath and gain double the floor space... without sleeping ontop of your junk and being cramped up. Compact cars have...

I'm all for doing things the harder way and getting it done myself.. But a $130 chinese 66cc eBay motor is the way to go. I mounted one on my Bianchi rigid frame with 29er MTB wheels and I could fishtail through 12" of thick Alaskan snow all the way to town without stalling. Plus you get to...

And the balljoints are not pressed in and are simple, simple. My 93 S10 off the assembly line has the upper balljoints mounted with 4 hardened steel rivets. And these needed to be drilled out. If you don't have a cordless drill or grinder, or corded drill with power, etc. You can find an old...

I actually was able to use the auto zone press for pressing the lower balljoints out. But was left with a balljoint casing stuck in the control arm and a hammer worked to knock it out. Keep some wood or a jack up underneath the control arm as close to the balljoint as possible to avoid it from...

Don't ever get 2 jobs done in a row before test driving first! Tie-rod tools: Sockets, maybe pipe/breaker, penetrating oil and a good hammer. The outer are very easy to replace, the inner probably just as easy. I used spray paint and sprayed the outter tie-rod's threads/tie-rod sleeve...

If I ain't in Alaska I'll just be part of a thieving cannibal man hunting caveman crew. That is.. if I can survive the first wave of whatever.

Anyone know if this kid is from Wisco?

Man.. I met Jeff a few years ago when I started traveling. He took off with me in my ambulance to the WY gathering. This kid was a straight up THIEF! And I say that in a good way. He used to shoplift like a motherfucker. Got the whole truck drunk for free multiple times. I remember I get back...

I used to work for my neighbor who worked for Chugach National Forest. Anyways.. he had a whole bunch of emergency shelter packs... That were just a fucking huuge piece of plastic bag that rolled up to damn near nothing. I guess they ain't so great to go out camping with.. but they were pretty neat.

when I first started trapping I bought some 110 conibear traps off of ebay. A lot of them traps they make on youtube are neat and crafty; yeah, but to someone like you or I that shit probably aint practical. Even with conibears I've trapped coon that pulled themselves out of the jaws and...

lol.. you throw rocks at their head of course. simplest and safest. them shits is good and easy to cook too.

Huck..? MSK?
