Jbulach and Red, Great suggestions, I was leaning towards this As I have a few laying around from a rock crawler I built awhile ago, but thought that the Teflon inserts would deform under load a hiem joint is a better. and lots less! Having a second pivot is an easy answer. The gin pole I...

I am no expert, only watched someone use a gin pole a couple of times. But from my reading, it is used to control the height of the gin poles in addition to raising them. Bob said he used a clamp on the winch line then adjusted his ty (might not be the right word) lines for height. So if it is...

Hi Toby, 5 inches of snow I can wait, THANKS! The rear suspension is taking alittle longer than expected. In response to what I am thinking I went through Gimpy's links (to find a suitable picture to butcher) and found some one had designed what I am thinking about and solved the problem...

Hi Toby, Thanks, what I am looking for is the front ujoint center line to the rear joint center line. I want to know how much "slip" the engineers felt was needed between the transmission and the transfer case. Now back to the regularly scheduled program. What I am envisioning in the...

Nice topic, I too want my truck to be a do-all and a gin pole setup is under consideration for mine also. But first for mine is rear suspension and driving! So I got time to sit back and watch you build yours! PS if you have time could I get your jackshafts installed ujoint to ujoint distance...

Hi Guys, When the energy crisis hit America and the electric furnace plants where being charged so much for power and closing down. The supply companies started sourcing steel from other countries, India proved expensive and quality was all over the place. Quickly they looked for other places...

1.29.18 Progress Thanks for the kind words! Uhm about taking pics of sparks and fire....not going to happen anytime soon, though Very dramatic and cool. The camera cost ALOT more than the M135 and I can't replace it if it gets damaged or fried! You doing background music sounds GrrrEAT...

It is true that there is a TON of good ideas here I would like to ask/BEG those comments from NTD onward be edited out. I was always taught never to call/speak of demons for they will visit the caller and callee alike.

Keep'em Coming! Rechecked rental rates for gantry, 150.00 a day is not too bad, but have to do it on a weekday (they charge for weekends even if they aren't open) so it'll cost my wages for a day and still need to build a platform. Cheapest so far....edit would be cheaper for me to do it on...

Thanks Again Guys! I will have to take/find another picture to show that it is facing up a peak and I would have to build a platform out into the street to get any room for removal. The rear crossmsmber without bumperettes and pintle hook is 18" from house so I have no room to remove and...

Thanks! The shops near me are small, I'd have to tow it 17 miles to get to an area with big enough area just to park it...I live in the land of Prius' and the only ones near are small. It's not a "friendly" place to have any vehicles larger than a 3/4 ton truck. Everything is about the...
