I love this truck and want to work on it and wheel with it.

tuna posted:In the chat thread recently there have been a few welding discussions and here is where I stand by my recommendation to just buy pre-cut coupons for welding practice/tests. Yes, I can buy a large 1/4" plate for cheaper and spend a bunch of time and energy cutting it up into my own coupons but it's 100f out, I've been rolling around on the floor for a while grinding a disgusting frame clean again and I'm nervous about getting the welds as good as I can - the last thing I want is extra work.

I think B is stronger, but I look forward to being wrong

That’s exactly what I was thinking, although I didn’t realize it was an explicit rule. Nice.

I’ve got a hydroboost mustang, I’ll measure whatever you want if it would help. Movement of the mount point of the rod at the pedal when pedal is depressed?

So, from start to an estimate of braking to a stop casually, I measured 3/16". Standing on it, 1/2". I will say, it's kind of a bitch to get under there, and I measured by getting a piece of cardboard flush against the firewall and marking it with a sharpie. I'm up for retrying alternate methodologies or, if need be, I think you're a couple miles from me, you're more than welcome to come double check it, too  Some light googling suggests that 1/2" travel for a mustang is about right, though.edit: Should add, measured with someone else hitting the pedal with the mustang running, if that matters.

tuna posted:Interesting, that's not very far at all. For reference, with it bolted on and completely unplumbed and empty, the pushrod will move 1.5-2" at least, I just can't be sure of the ending of it due to the current pedal setup. Maybe it won't need much travel at all once there's fluids in there then? Thanks again for going through all that for me, much appreciated! I'm not at all a brake expert, but I know that the cars I've driven with unpowered brakes pretty universally have more travel in the pedal, and (especially as they get newer), powered brakes have relatively little.

tuna posted:A manual trans isn't my first choice because I honestly think offroading with an auto is a delight. That being said: A lot of automotive (and probably especially offroad) products are made, sold, and/or marketed by, basically, that racist old uncle who thinks EFI is a gubmint conspiracy. Aside from the "ew, no" aspect of this, it's not at all uncommon that there's one really lovely website with basically no documentation. It's not impossible that it's still a decent product, and there do seem to be some forum posts detailing people installing it without too much strife.

IOwnCalculus posted:In your shoes that would be a hard choice. I love having a manual and 4.56 gears in my TJ because I can put it in first and low and pretty much ignore the clutch, with better engine braking than I ever got out of my 545RFE WJ.
