I've got a set of Hawkers that are not totally "dead" yet. In fact one is holding charge with a sustained drain and appears to be fine. I have the usual PulseTech solar maintainer, but I ran across this and for the price I have to try it. Has anyone tinkered with similar (Chinese crap)...

Mine doesn't make any noise. I'll be doing the swap myself (cuz that's all I can afford). Here's a sample from the trans and t-case. Some silly private filled them with chocolate milk.

Any form of "donated" is good. While I'll never be one to share my build, ideas, or travels for sponsorship or monetization, I *do* accept donations. My nephew has a little pod camper that was about six years old. They rarely used it as an 18' camper was too small for a family of four (now...

Thinking outside the hab....err box. :)

Outstanding ! I'm facing a trans swap on one of my trucks and I'm not exactly looking forward to the job.

Seriously, though... You're second assessment is correct. The reason they aren't seen much on rock crawlers (or rigs racing at KoH) is two fold: 1) the "rings" that they run are in fact over-sized extensions of the bead lock. Think that thru a second. What happens when one takes a serious...

Plywood? That would quadruple their price. ;)

* "USED to run" ;p Yeah, back then the engineers had not discovered the concept of incorporating slots or holes. Not until the government spec'ed "no mud or pebbles" did someone make such a breakthrough. Now if there were just some way to cut some form of hole or slot in the metal like the...

And a flat plate would be crushed at 14ga steel. But I'm pretty certain that a 1/4" wheel ring can take a lickin' if it's resting against the rim. So make them to the desired thickness that sets you mind at ease. I don't disagree that the U-shape allows more bracing surface, but no one is...

12v vampiric drain? Add a balancer and all will charge evenly.

Disagree. The OEM's use 4" standoffs with a 3" tuck in the metal back to the rim. MWE use a 2" standoff with what looks like no more than 1" tuck back into the rim. A flat disc (and I'm talking like a giant washer, not a solid disc) could use a 1" standoff and sit flat on the edge of the rim...

OK, so sayeth Niehoff.... https://www.ceniehoff.com/product.asp_Q_catID_E_152

I don't think so... My 260a on my truck makes 260a on the 28v side and 140a on the 14v side. Now whether it alternates that thru the magic smoke contained within or if it does it at all the same time, I've no idea (I suspect the former). If memory serves, the 100a OEM 28/14 puts out 100a/40a...

I've said for years, just make it a flat disc like rock crawlers use, like sand car bead locks. Just a flat disc bolted to standoffs (like the $3 standoffs and a $1 bolt that MWE or the OEM use).

LOL I didn't want to be the first to say it, but yep. Why only three? To save money. But they don't look the same distance apart and that would drive me insane (LOL). The price is not too unreasonable assuming powder coated, but for another $5 in hardware they could have done it right. I...

My rule of thumb is carry your tools with you and as many of the common issues spare parts as you can. Fluids, hose repair kits, tire plugs, etc. All your tire changing kit and tools. A Sherpa winch would come in handy (along with sand anchor, crane straps for trees and boulders, come-along or...

Let me guess.... $400 per wheel ?

Always ask before a purchase....

Are you looking for tires or wheels (aka: rims) or both?

The tires will fit on your OEM (Titan) rims
