thanks to all you'se guys for the replies. as it turned out in today's case, i had to use 4WD the whole way to pick her up because the snow and sleet got really heavy in the afternoon. BUT - it's good to know that it's a possibility to relatively safely use 2HI with the hubs locked, if...

thanks to both of you guys. I would TEND to agree, but i just wanted to check it out first. I also know a guy (with an 80's F150) who keeps his hubs locked all winter and just shifts into 2 and 4 when neccessary. My main concern is this: When you have the hubs locked, but are not powering the...

I've been driving my wife to work while her car's in the shop. It's about a 15 mile drive. When it snows, since we're in or near bumfu** towns the roads may be plowed or not. Ideally, i like to drive on dry pavement in 2WD and on slippery snow in 4WD. However, in our 15 mile commute, it'll go...

mine did in my '85. it had a one year (i think) warranty, and was like 13 months old, so i had to fork over another coupla bills for a new one. had an MSD Blaster coil go bad, too. needless to say, i'm still shopping around for other manufacturers for my other vehicles.

dude, you must have H U M O N G O U S earholes. what do you use as a q-tip? a pillow wedged onto the end of a lacrosse stick?

isn't the Stark clan from arkansas? i think that's where the show was filmed...

i used all my wife's Easy-Off Oven Cleaner on mine....

you may have to shake the truck up-n-down a few times after turning it on its side.

holy carp! you're a freakin' godsend! i was dreading the thought of having to fab something up myself. (first, finding the proper taper from the pumpkin centerline to the axle tubes, and then scribing around the housing) sheeze. at that's a $61.99 that's well worth it by avoiding the time and...

i'm actually interested in trussing mine. but am having problems finding a writeup of anyone that's done what i wanna do. there's a photo on the currie site, located here i KNOW i've seen people do this kinda of truss before, but dadgummit i can't find anything.

and really nice german enduro motorcycles....

sure, like this one: https://www.delcity.net/tstore/servlet/pagebuilder?frame=catalog_browse&parentid=73583&page=1 otherwise, if you want to use a single-87-terminal one, you can crimp 2 wires into the one quick-connect that slides onto 87, with each wire going to an individual lamp.

the lights was just an example. however, you may, at some point, be powering both lights on the same wire since the relay has only one 87 terminal. some folks might run both lamp wires to a single 1/4" quick connect for the 87 terminal. some folks might run a single wire out of the 87 terminal...

on a related note: does anyone know the maximum wire size that the weatherpacks can handle? can they handle 12 GA? 10 GA? 8? Also, what's the highest amperage that each weatherpack terminal can handle? ********************************* [edit] i answered my own questions. for those also...

yeah, i just checked out their site. those things are pretty ghey....

I’ve always liked the marine-grade stuff myself. Seemed to be made a little bit more bombproof, considering the potential for harsher conditions. Plus, there's a marina right next to my house, so it's easy to get the marine stuff. Yeah, the 10-gauge wire through the relay that controls the...

I wanna try and get something straight here. I’m was kinda confused, but reading the post got me to thinking, and I think I know what you’re talking about and want to confirm my suspicions. First, I totally understand the use of a relay in an accessory circuit (fog lights, compressor, etc) to...

The stock hubs on my project are totally trashed. I have a 2 (slightly used) spare pairs in the shop. - Warn 3/4-turn hubs - Superwinch 1/4-turn hubs I've heard that both brands are okay, but i've also heard/read that folks tend to shy away from the 1/4-turn hubs in favor of the 3/4-turn...

i second that question. i have a Quigley 4x4 Ford E-150 (full-width Dana 44 up front) that i'd like to do a tie-rod-over with a bit of a beefier steering.
