Hey folks, been busy around these parts as usual but I wanted to take a second to put up some pics from the Mint 400. Â I made a quick road trip to the desert and back to put Ironhide through the paces and boy can this truck groove in the dirt. Â Here’s the highlights from […]
Ahhh, the long awaited follow-up to part 1 is finally here. Lets just dive right in. The rear suspension…man, was this a disappointment. I simply didn’t account for the weight I typically carry back there which is usually at least a good 500+ pounds. As I mentioned in the previous post, this left me with […]

Hey…look at that, it’s 2012. Happy New Year! It was a crazy and wild ride coming into the tail end of 2011 and between work and life in general, I fell behind updating the blog on Project Ironhide, so lets kick off 2012 with an update to what a lot of you have been waiting […]
Here’s a quick and easy mod for anyone. Â I have been wanting to get one of those RBP black exhaust tips since I got the truck. Â I have debated this endlessly. Â Is an exhaust tip really worth almost $200? Â I simply can’t justify that for something that doesn’t do anything other than give a pipe […]
One of the requirements for my project truck was being able to carry a lot of my Search and Rescue gear as well as other gear for fishing, camping, or any number of other activities I plan to do with the truck. Â I also wanted a canopy which could serve as a solid shelter in […]
Here’s another quick one for today. Â Finally installed the RECON headlights. Â There’s just not much to say about these other than they look AWESOME. Â Installation took < 1 hour. Â The headlights come in a HUGE box, individually packaged nicely with plenty of protection. Â There’s some minor pre-wiring work to do, but pretty basic stuff. Â To […]
Hey folks. Â Been slammed here recently but I wanted to throw a quick update on the truck on here. Â Finally got around to installing the CB Radio. Â Pretty simple setup. Â I’m using the Cobra 29LX with a 4ft. Firestik tunable antenna mounted with a HD Spring on the Firestik NGP Antenna Kit with a door […]
It’s time for the next update on Project Ironhide. In this post, we’ll cover the installation of the N-Fab Light Bar and 801/803 series KC Rally lights. Â Lets start with the truck lighting from TruckElectrics.com. Â Pretty standard piece of hardware and bolts onto the truck fairly easily without any real modifications. N-Fab does a really […]
Hey folks, so I’ve been busy as heck getting things going with the project and it’s coming together quite nicely. I wanted to start off the series with an easy mod just about anyone can do with a few basic tools and some minimal mechanical know-how. One of the things every enthusiast wants to do […]
