Unless I'm mistaken the stock pan is sheet metal and doesn't have the thickness required for pipe threads to seal. Even the cast aluminum pans really need to have a boss cast into them for this, their normal wall thickness is marginal. Welding a bung on isn't too big of a deal. There are even...

I'm waiting until I'm closer to doing the trans service before buying a pan for it. The pan that I want is just over $400...... Typically you can't just tap the stock oil pan for the sender. You need to weld on a threaded boss. Also need to look at what's inside and where, and again out the...

PML offers cast aluminum pans, in both case fill and pan fill, with the option of adding the temp sender port. https://yourcovers.com/pml-ford-c4-deep-pan-fill-with-fitting-transmission-pan.html https://yourcovers.com/pml-ford-c4-deep-case-fill-transmission-pan.html

Which trans?

The GPX file has route(s) and waypoints? What happens if it has only a route?

I use an iPad for nav in the field, so I'm no help with CarPlay. I've tested the route making feature within OnX and it works fairly well. Where there are gaps in the roads on the map it won't jump over at obvious spots like Gaia can do sometimes, but other than that it works well. I do find...

Seems to work for me.

Almost there on the rear axle. Remaining to be finished: T&B zip tying the bundle of tubes, hoses and electrical connecting the rear axle to the chassis (& trimming the zip-ties); lower shock mounts (waiting on the Fox RR's due in end of the week); routing and fastening down the p-brake cables...

Your memory about any conversation we may have had is better than mine! It does look steep, but I hadn't dug that deep into it. I think that I'll leave it for someone else to explore. FWIW I've plotted the Big Bear to Ballarat route (far further actually) in Gaia, but recently (as in...

I've never made this run during BBBB or otherwise, so I'm looking for local knowledge. OnX shows an option that takes you clear down to the desert floor. Does that actually exist and is it legal/viable/passable? Already pinged the old list about this. Thanks!!

Getting closer to working on the front. Which was the original point of this thread! Rotors came with painted wear surfaces, so I didn't bother to keep my paint off of them since I'll have to clean off all of the paint anyway. Technically the rear wheel bearing run in diff lube, but I've been...

How many are out there getting wet? I'd stay the F___ OUT of the shortcut between Mule/Phillips and Doran/Odessa. That stuff gets bottomless and slimy like greased owl snot when wet. It's worse than a not so dry lakebed. BT, DT.

No, it isn't an unbroken run. I can't tell you the years specifically, but I know that there were a couple years where it didn't happen. But I didn't think it was that close to the same age either!

Who'd a thunk it? How long ago did we start this event? It's almost as old as the Bash. Maybe 5 years younger?

If you're going to spend the money on a trans and a controller I'd take a good look at the later 6R etc. transmissions.

Got this far before the rain shut me down. Part of the delay was that I had to build this first: Not the most ideal location for that, but the hole in the 1/4 panel had me tightly constrained.

For the FSB I bought a pump from Quantum Fuel. It was a complete upgraded pump/sender assembly built around a Walbro 255LHP pump. As a bonus they're local to me, but the Walbro pump may not work for you. Might call them and see what they have to suggest.

End of the Year update: Looks like I might have the 8.8 sold, so things will need to move fast. er.
