The big group 31s do come in handy if you forget and leave your lights on. They also come in handy if you get air in your fuel lines and have to crank and crank and crank the starter which is pretty much inevtiable at some point with these trucks.

Im wanting to think that cold weather will ruin those deep cycle marine batteries. I would just use interstate group31's. If I had it to do over again that is exactly what I would put in my truck hands down.

I tried clamping it on the side and yes that does make it cut alot easier but it doesn't seem to be able to grip it as well. Also I made alot of 45 degree cuts and found that if you turn square tubing on it's side to make a 45....you get one strange 45 lol. I was working with 1 1/2" by 3/16" tubing.

Latest update with my saw. I fried the blade in less than 100 cuts. Most of what I was cutting was square tubing which is pretty hard on these things since the blade has to hit a large flat surface and start down through it. Long story short I need a new blade and I notice everyone that has a...

Hello 4X4 forever and jasonjc. To answer your questions the blade that came with the saw was a Milwaukee 14" blade and the instruction sheet that comes in the side box that contains the blade for shipping says "Optimal cutting will produce little or no sparks. Apply more pressure if sparks are...

Figured I would update this thread. Well I went ahead and got enough money together to buy a brand new Milwaukee 6190-20 dry cut machine last month. I got the thing, read the instructions, and set it up but when I went to start cutting the thing started acting up right away. All I was able to do...

!!!! I don't think he will have any problem what so ever useing 37" tires on an M1008. It has a king pin dana60 front and a 14 bolt full floating rear. Alot of people run 18x44x16s on these types of axles with a much stronger motor than a 6.2L diesel without any problems. As far as lift I...

I painted something like that on the back of my M1028 back when I converted it to a flat bed body. It's alot easier than you would think. All I used was some two inch blue painters tape and a small angle tool and was able to get the stripeing to turn out perfect like a machine did it. Keep in...

I was looking at a reconditioned Milwaukee version of that saw. It cost $100.00 or so more dollars but it is probly well worth it. Me and my father have always used Milwaukee tools. He has three Milwaukee drills that he used everyday at work before he retired. They are almost as old as I am and...

I personally wouldn't go near the interstate with an M1008. I got stopped by a state trooper out here in VA. for going too slow before. I was near the capital beltway on rt.66 doing about 45mph. The posted speed limit that close to Washington DC is only 50 mph even though the norm is about 65-70...

Is this type of saw good for cutting cold rolled and or chrome molley tubing. Somewhere along the way im planning to build a couple roll cages and need something that will cut cold rolled electric welded tubing. Probly wont actually fool with chrome molley anytime soon since I don't have a tig...

http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200326857_200326857 I found the listing to the saw im looking at on Northern Tools site but it doesn't seem to want to really let me copy and paste it. Ok I got it to work now lol.

Hello all I have been looking into get a decent chop saw recently and came across something called a dry cut metal saw in the northern tool catalog that is on sale. Down at the local steel supplier they have a big comercial cold saw to cut all the steel orders with and im familiar with that type...

Looks awesome! It also looks like you've upgraded your headlights to an H4 set up. I can barely make out the H4 hi/lo bulb cap plus based on the bluish reflection from the sun im guessing those are hopped up bulbs as well. I've done that conversion to mine also and put hella xenon blue bulbs in...

I have a 24v relay hooked to the heater on my spin on fuel filter I put on my truck but im wanting to think that I ordered it from RACOR. If my memory serves me right that relay cost something like $70.00 which is outrageous for a relay. I havent seen any 24v relays at the truck trailer and rv...

Managed to get some pics last night. The first two are of the 130w halogen. As you can see in the first pic the light carries far enough out to light up the side of that house which is pretty far away but it won't go anywhere near far enough to light up that tree line way out there in the...

Fill it full of cough syrup....Then the transmission wont care lol :cookoo:

No prob. I left one light unconverted just for that purpous. I'd love to get a video of it myself.

Finally I can't really explain how I am going to mount the ballasts because im building something that nobody has ever seen before....At least i've never seen anything like my creation before. I would describe this light system as something between a pre-runner light rack, mixed with riot...

These next few are of the mod that I had to do to the back of the light to get the new plugs that go to the HID bulbs to fit through it. I had to enlarge the holes to 5/8". I used a hole file that I got from the hardware store for that part. The dremel has a smaller hole file on it which I used...
