The batteries did fine on a old school load tester. The plan is to wire it up in my garage this weekend with a 120 plug to maintain/charge the batteries.

Forgot, leaving in a few minutes to fly down to Tennessee, I am in Pa. I will then be driving back with my daughter from college Weds/Thursday so all my children can be home for Christmas..

A low buck way of reducing sway, depending on how the bar is mounted, is to fine tune the stock sway bars. If you can get greaseable poly frame mounts, get them. Don't get poly end links, they are always in bind. Get Moog end links pictured or if you have a tall wallet $$$, posi-links. These...

Before we start, please try and keep this post on track.I will answer any question I am able but if they are about a specific vehicle not "theory", please open another post. The laws of physics are the same for a Ferrari and a F150. In my case, I will be using my 1985 S10 extended cab 4x4 as an...

They still make Bias Ply tires too.LOL

Agree with all above. Most people never have heard of Noalox, I'm impressed. When I tell people about it, usually get that Huh? look! Noalox has powdered metal, aluminum I believe, suspended in a clear gel. I use Noalox, wipe it clean after connected then coat with Dielectric grease or...

I have been trying to contact a seller on Criagslist with no luck. The phone voicemail was full and no responses from email. Finally get a response via email. Turns out he posted an old phone number. He was wondering why no one was calling? I am no where near  setting up house system in my S10...

StrernWake's post sounds like me!   As a young buck I would go out and play in he snow with my 70 LeMans.  I would slip, slide, do donuts, even do what we called a "Rockford" (taking off in reverse, get up to speed backwards,spinning around and continuing on). Little did I know I was actually...

Ok, I will start putting something together to post next week.

Most of my background is racing, so I look at vehicles with racers eyes.  Not to brag, maybe a little, I have help build a class winner in SCCA, built/drove road rally, built/drove drag cars and was crew chief for a blown alcohol FED. Now I don't expect to turn my S10 into a road rally 4x4...

I found one of these for sale locally for a great price. Follow link for specs:   http://www.wholesalesolar.com/2931120/magnum-energy/inverters/magnum-energy-me3112-inverter   Anyone see any red flags that would make me pass? Thanks

Be careful with water, it can shift causing funky handling.

Well slow became glacial progress!   Ended with a new brake line front to back. Also found someone had tried to heli-coil one of the holes for the r/f brake caliper. Notice I said 'tried', the caliper was pivoting when applied. All fixed now. The rebuilt front diff is in. The custom posi...

Got tires and limited slip, 2/3 the way there! If possible put the weight directly over the axle, centered above the differential/pumpkin. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Quikrete-60-lb-Tube-Sand-115960/100318522

Here is a link better explaining what I was trying to say. It compares narrow to wide but the principles are the same. Ironically they mention the Turtle Expedition also! I would think most on here would fit in the Overlanding category           ...

Had a friend whose family had a huge family farm. They let us "use" it anyway we wanted. We would a buy car from neighboring farms, get it running and it was on. Had a Dodge Coronet 440 with snows on the back, would make 15 foot roster tails of dirt. Had a hell of time changing wheels until I...

There was a super clean one for sale with a blue in interior years ago. I'll see if I can dig up the pictures. Wrong time for me to buy , but always keep my eye out for one. I would stick it on my 350 powered S10 chassis. If things don't work out.... Can't seem to find the pictures I was...

I did some digging, looks like offroad fire trucks are going Super Single. That really muddies the waters. I have had different experiences then you. I guess it is best to agree to disagree. Can you post a picture of your truck, is it a old railroad truck?

"humorous" huh? It's a matter of pressure per square inch of contact patch. Each rear tire will have less traction per tire when compared to a single with same weight on it. That is a fact. My 88 3+3 dually sucked in low traction situations when empty. When loaded it got better but I learned...

Stick to roads with dual wheels. Keep in mind they were designed for load carrying and highway stability. The rear wheels have 1/2 the traction per wheel of single since they carry 1/2 the weight. In low traction situations you want the rear tires to follow the same path as the front. Each...
