The ice cream run was the highlight for me last year, and the spaghetti dinner was a close second! I plan to do both again!
Yeah, I almost picked up that transfercase on craigslist last month when I was passing through but our schedules didn't align. I am interested in what else might be out...
No love has arrived here yet in the Northeast, but I'll admit, I was so far into the Rye Whiskey bottle when I put together my letter to Patracy that I have no idea what address I wrote to ship the hubs too! :shrugs:
Yeah, stopping a trailer with electric brakes is no problem, you almost don't know its there.
In highway hill climbs you'll be doing 35mph, everyone will be passing you doing 70.
I also towbar my Jeep TJ around (under 4K) without brakes on that, stopping is OK but allow yourself some extra...
There's lots of threads on this site about Reese trailer hitches and 12v brake controller conversions.

I was just in that area last weekend and drove Killeen -> Gonzales -> Houston -> College Station -> Killeen. Took Jet Blue back to Maine on Tuesday, April so far is my favorite time of year to visit Texas, good luck on the rest of your journey!
Eventually I will get to installing a woodstove in mine. I already have a small conventional woodstove I inherited from my Dad.

To attach...
I did not try to start the engine, as I was running late to get to work where I....umm....am posting these pictures. rofl
I am confident the engine would start, I have had this block heater installed for several years, only the thermal camera is new. I will post thermal images later this...
Here I focused on a freeze plug on the passenger side. Can you make out the oil dip stick and air intake pipe?
Here's a closer look at those spin-on oil filters.
Lying on the ground now. Looking up between the block and C turbo.
Looking up at the spin-on secondary fuel filter (only...
Good morning deuce fans! I almost though these next pictures would be a bust, the camera was only displaying noise, but I took it inside and after rebooting my phone better thermal images came into view.
First lets talk about the weather, it was in the mid-20s when these early morning pictures...
My heater was purchased from Westfolk, the same 3/4 inch screw-in type mentioned earlier in this thread, I think it must be the 400 watt version.
There was an argument that heat produced from this type of heater wasn't getting past the thermostat, but in the eyes of a thermal camera, clearly it is.
These are the thermal pics I took after the water pump heater was just plugged in for one hour.
Passenger side of the engine. You can easily make out the water pump and a valve I installed for a future cab heater hose.
Driver side of the engine showing signs of warmth.
