After braking down 6 9.00x20's on stock rims, and 6 11x20's on stock 5 ton rims, I was feeling like I was Super Hero tire de-mounter, . . . then I tried to put one together :(
Now would be the perfect time to tell me how EASY it is, and that I'm not really a Super Hero if I can't get one back...
Rayzer, is there a reason that you run some of them w/ the tread going the other way? Is it just to confuse the enemy? ;)
Are they a directional tread that should run a certain way?
Great! now is there some place I can get those data plates?
Would like to put one on the She Beast when I change her's over, she likes to read the instructions before starting (if she's not been driving for a while) and it would be good to have the right instructions ;)
Thank you Doghead for...
Thanks,
guess they thought it was too much work to change the data plate on mine.
It still tells me how to use the flame heater. I'll dig up the info in the TM as well just to be double clear ;)
Ok, bought a bottle at NAPA.
It looks like it's all hooked up to the switch that ran the "flame heater", so now a question, does that toggle just fire once when I move it (no matter how long I hold it), or is it on till I let it off?
:ditto:
though we've dead'nd down the sound quite a bit w/ the fat-mat and muffler.
The Mitch's have much bigger lugs, w/ much more space in between, . . . that's louder to me.
I'm guessing that you mean in the beginning? That would be some basic wood filler. There were gaps between the floor planks from 30+ years of drying. I wouldn't recommend it. It's too hard and cracks from all the movement.
It is true that there is about a 300 rpm drop at the same speed, and . . . it also changes the torque and where that 3 - 4 gear gap falls. For "flatlanders" ;) that might not play a big part, for us it is something to think about. Elise often has to shift into 4th pretty soon into a climb or...
you can also keep going from Palmdale to Victorville, on 18, then on to 247 in Lucerne valley (Hundy's home) and down to Yucca valley. All easy roads. From there I-10 can be connected w/ either north of Palm Springs, . . . or by going west on 62 till it meets 177 east of the park.
We use these...
If you are going to skirt around LA on your way to I-10 we are on that route. You can stop here if needed, or if you need more info on the route around I may be able to help some.
We have both, 395's on the She Beast and NDCC's on mine. I can ware my NDCC's out in about 5-6000 miles. They are traction-less on most things that we drive on, where as the She Beast never even starts to sink in sand or slip on the trails/tracks we drive. I use 6x way more often because of...
That's an interesting thought. I was just going to use wood strips, . . . but now you've got me thinking of alt's
On mine the corners have a line of rivets that make doing both sides of the corner almost impossible.
You should prob start a new thread about your trailer, then we could go on...
Did paint it. That's all in the build thread that I linked to.
Haven't done anything new since then. Still putting most of my work in the She Beast, though I did get a few things for the Draggin' and will need to work on them before departing again this winter. ;)
I've got one of those. The method of lifting is w/ a jack in the center (I'll dig up some photos). Because there are no guides in the corners, or anywhere, when it gets lifted it kinda tips (like you would expect lifting something at only one point in the middle).
I'm going to change mine to a...
So there's no using it w/ the tailgate down? If you're sleeping in it you'll have to have the tailgate up, and then be able to put it down before you can get out?
I think I'm confused.
