Useful data, thanks. Throw a link to getting the tire off the rim in 3 mins, or describe it. Had my eye on a small portable hydraulic bead breaker for $50 that CARNAC listed in the classifieds, but he said it sold in seconds, rightfully so. Thanks.

Anything would drop in if released from high enough.

The only update for now, as long as my street is ice frozen. This is for the ISL grid heater:

Had our monthly dine-in of local members, and one guy got so excited over the 13 speed, he spilled his beer when showing me how to shift it. Now we just need some snow to melt.

I’m on a lone limb with my thinking, but focus your $ toward the next one you want. I have not regretted passing on good deals, unless I can grab something at half of market price or less. $ in the bank is never a bad thing.

Ummm, all I have done is looked at it out the kitchen window....

Yeah, you’re missing numerous things...

I guess it is not a Chinese secret since he posted it. It is one of those posts that are valuable, yet hidden in the bowels of the castle. Kind of like the Volvo charge air cooler 4xDesign added to his 8.3L (a perfect, factory like fit around the stock radiator). Wrench build pics: Post...

RS's garage is awesome. Full to the top with all sorts of treasures. It is like the movie Goonies.

Hit the center with liquid nitrogen, and the outer with a torch. You can take an aerosol can of keyboard cleaning air, and turn it upside down. It will spray out liquid that will cause frostbite, so don't let it contact your skin. Have separating pressure on it while doing so, try to whack it...

Temps dropped another 10 degrees. Now -5F ambient. Get some...

After having 3 fall apart on 2 off-road trips, I have resorted to parking the truck until I can replace all 12 (well, 11 now since I renewed one so far). I have been fortunate in that the ones that failed on me have been passenger side lower. If driver side lower, the axle can shift enough to...

Thanks, interesting. Good point on the bed winch for skid loading, I didn't consider it, but main point would be self-recovery. I bought a second M925 front hydraulic winch, to install at the rear between the frame rails and face rearward. I still take my hat off for anybody that completed...

Space age materials.

Just get new civilian batteries, fasten them down correctly, install quality (thick) copper lugs on the end of the vehicle harness from a welding supply shop, and be done with it. The batts are $100ea, copper terminals few bucks each. Much less cost than a news paper picture of an army truck...

cranetruck has tons of experience with nearly all forms of fuel fired heaters. gimpyrobb has more parts for these things than the companies that made them. Both great resources.

Benchmark. How much is the ARB for the 2.5T axle? If $1,000, then the one for the 5T will never happen from a demand price point.

280W Mitsubishi panel: https://www.mitsubishielectricsolar.com/images/uploads/documents/specs/MLE_280.pdf https://www.thesolarbiz.com/mitsubishi-280-watt-mono-solar-panel.html Example charge controller. Maybe go with something a little better quality. Use a 20A rated one, because the panel...
