>>27591374
>>27591381Ayyy! That's my picture. :) I'm flattered
>>27591382We have this exchange every time I post it <3. Happy Friday brother.
>>27591385Huzzah! Same to you buddy. I'm finishing up my Friday taco now
>>27591381>>27591392based
>>27591382>>27591385It's not June yet you faggots.
>>27591399Instead of being a grumpy butt you should post your vehicle!
>>27591382>>27591385Whaaaaat are you two with each othaaaaa
>>27591374Yeah
>>27591767Very cute. Would innawoods with/10
>>27591790I got a few of those badges too, pretty good marketing they're doing
>>27591895They're free. So might as well
Hit up my surplus/overstock/returns vendor today.Spent 25 bucks.My buddy thinks I should mount one of these 7" LED lights to one of my brushless rc cars so I can drive around the field at night doing 40mph
>>27592085i often forget that 2wd XJs were available
Nah but 16psi is the best for off roading
Lets talk about spray cans for a moment. It seems that CRC Brite-Zinc is the best can available.
You can use it on cool skid plates that you find on Craigslist and lots of other things.
275921102759212027592126stop spamming
Another angle.
It's good for welding, get some corrosion protection on there.
Back to the topic of airing down, these brass tire deflators are nice. Remember you can avoid a puncture by airing down, increase traction, and ride more comfortably with the right tire psi.Instead of having to crouch down and hold the valve stem, you can just screw on these auto deflators.
>>27592110Needs 37s
27592152thanks but I have a father who talk me this when i was learning to drive.
>>27592156Yeah 37s would be nice but for now the small stock tire size is good. Here they are after I picked them up.
>>27592152But what do you use to air back up
>>27592163Too smol. Can't hoon through mud like that!
>>27592165Good question. I use this Pittsburgh air compressor. It's been good so far and it's made in Pittsburgh home of the Steelers so you know it's good.
>>27592181Ehh. Need you an arb.
>>27592189Yeah I though about an ARB but I figured something made here in America would be a safe bet. There's lots of stuff made in Pittsburgh at Harbor Freight, and they have stuff made in Chicago too like this welding machine.
>>27592208Chicago is not a nice place to live. No thanks!
>>27592215Yeah that's why I went with the Titanium welding machine instead. It's like the Chicago machine but it's made completely out of titanium.
>>27592163I love those 80's style AT's
>>27592230Thanks. They're the exact tire that came from the factory on early 90s Jeeps. Sadly they discontinued them, I managed to get some of the last ones on the shelf. They changed the tire to the "Goodyear Gookrunners" or something like that. Ah well all good things must come to an end.
>>27592230What do you love about them? Certainly not the performance, kek
>>27592223Cool. You should get an arb. It works great
>>27592239They perform plenty better than people know what to do with. Weed farmers in my country get places with bald 28" tires that Americans believe you need 40" super swampers for.
>>27592265Yeah they're not too bad. Here's another angle so you can get a good look at the tread.
Had to help this dude out of a hole he dug himself into this week. He went up here alone, no tools and no straps. He's luckily we were riding by on our bikes and we're able to run back to town for help
>>27592273Leafs up front on an XJ huh. Interesting.
>>27592283It was a samurai. He also tried starting it once we pulled it out with an air box full of water, with predictable results. Once we got the water out of the block, he had plugged the spark plugs back in all willy nilly too and nearly threw a rod. Basically had to handhold this dude was kind of weird.
>>2759226540in super swampers are cool
3rd engine, multiple misfires, leaking coolant, hole in gas tank, can't start without a jump, daily driven, regularly street raced, regularly off roaded, cold air intake, cat delete straight piped, pretty sure throttle body or fuel injectors are getting fucked, went to replace broken wheel bearing yesterday but the axle is stuck inside the hub like nothing else we put an air hammer on it triple jaw puller blow torch sledgehammers gonna just end up loosening the axle nut until it's freespin and driving it around until it comes out, I'm driving 200 miles in it tomorrow on the highway
>>27592265>They performcompared to what? almost any AT is going to outperform these>>27592294not reading this meth-fiction
>>27592298>not dicks Wack
>>27592289>Basically had to handhold this dude was kind of weird.Yeah I helped some kid out in a newer Tacoma that got high centered on a snow drift a couple months back and he was the same way. I pulled out the winch remote and he just stood there staring at me like I was his personal tow service. I told him he had to pull the cable and hook the shackle up.
>>27592298No, they clearly wouldn't have chose to put those tires on from the factory if there were better tires for the application.
>>27592313He was lucky I had my tools on me, I usually don't bring them with me forestry roads. Only thing I didn't have were the spark plug socket, which is why I put one in my kit when I got home. I realized if I hydrod my bike I'd have a hell of a time getting the water out
>>27592324Always go prepared! Ya silly goose
>>27592294fucking based dude
>>27592331We don't need no fucking spank plug wrench or shit. Just put it in 1st and gently push it to rotate the engine and the water will squeeze past the rings without damaging anything.
>>27592337ALWAYS PREPARED!!!
>>27592337past the rings is where the water is supposed to be
the passenger axle was stuck inside the actuator, it looks like its welded to a bearing race, the rest of said bearing is no longer with us. Everything else is clapped or close to it. If there arent any trails in the midwest im not putting the front diff back in at all.
>>27592409Sounds like bailout era GM alright
It's 4/20. Blaze it
Snowed again today. Eagerly awaiting the rainy spring season minus snow.

some women driving their jeeps needed a police escort and shut down 49
>>275944042/2 2 men in maybe 30 jeeps all parked in the fucking road in the middle of nowhere, god i hate jeepfags
>>27594404My mustang club rented out a theater for a private showing of Bullit.We had a cruise across town and had a police escort that blocked off intersections ahead of us so we could all get through and stay together regardless of traffic lights.Was pretty cool.Sorry you're a friendless fag that will never get to experience that.
>>27594760this is a highway and theyre stopped in the middle of nowhere for half an hour, a bunch of lost women in mall crawlers can fuck right off
>>27594760Police escort is pretty gay though, he has a point. Most of the car groups I see just drive together normally.
>>27594790I'm not talking about 5 mustangs driving in a pack.We had almost 250 cars.You only think it's gay because you've never had the prestige of rolling through red lights unabated with police parked to the side stopping other motwages.9/10 would do again to piss off wagies.
>>27594801>motorists not motwagesI swear to God outsourcing to pajeets was a mistake that will cause the world to burn.How the fuck does autocorrect think "motwages" was the right answer?
>>27594801Yeah the local gay pride parades in my area started getting police escorts too
>>27594801This was 20-30 cars and on 49 between orlinda and franklin, literally fucking nowhere 2 lane double nickel, i thought some racefag rolled on a corner and fucking died but no it's just fucking women in jeeps
>>27594813I would have thought about parades honoring returning Astronauts or Olympic gold medal winners.But apparently everything revolves around homosexuals in your world.That says a lot about you....
>>27594818Were they fat? I've noticed most fat women love Jeeps for some reason.
And I'm not talkin' like a little soft around the edges, I mean straight up buffet bustin gvwr exceeding type gals

>>27599384Always a good time with the jeep dog. Here's my new one, been almost year, figured it was time. This is Shadow.
>>27599460So far she's been ok enough and is very smart. Not a huge fan when I have the fire pit going in the backyard. But we'll see how she does up innawoods.What a handsome young lad!

She'll be touge ready soon enough

>>27599950Derp
>>27599960Good luck, the end is hard. When you have to take them on that last ride. That's the price we have to pay for having them. Still worth it, IMO.
>>27599966Yup done it a few times and doesn't her easier
>>27599924Sounds like a very protective lad. Good on him!>>27599960Lol at that strapping man! He has many years left in him od say. Very strong shoulders. >>27599966Much floof, very comf

Tires on my FJ are coming due for replacement. I've got BFG KO2 LT's on there right now, 275/70/R17.Any recommendations for a new tire? Used all year round, lots of snow, would prefer to keep the same size but could go as big as 285 if warranted. Most importantly, anything I should specifically STAY AWAY from?
>>27602439Toyo AT3s aren't horrible in the snow and they do pretty good in wet weather in my experience.
>>27602439Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs are top tier for everything but mud
>>27602439Baja Boss AT or Open Country AT3 Did you do the body mount chop, flatyen pinch welds, and windshield fluid container relocation yet?
leaving to do the Gibb River Road in a weeks time with the mrs and the kid. parents hired a 4wd and meeting my uncle/auntie up there for a mini convoy. nervous about the kid for the first few nights of travel. its about 3000kms up there, then the fun begins. should be good, wish me luckhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbraPY0ezPQ&t=7s
>>27602678>>27602439also doing it in an FJ. we run 285/70/17s, wanted the AT baja bosses but because we're towing, the guy suggested i go with maxxis razors, so i went with them, bit cheaper too. bit of scrub at full lock on the front tyres, 2inch lift.

>>27591767I love those wheels.
>>27601985yup
>>27591790Hows your paint holding up from that spray you get from the front tire through the gap between the fender flare and running board?
Anyone run an oversized oil filter? I'm going to measure to see if I can fit a Wix 51773 on my XJ
>>27604179First thing I did to my shitbox was fit a larger filter
>>27604218what does adding a bigger filter do
>>27604282It adds a little extra oil capacity and the larger filter media area can hold more contaminants. I never do it personally because you don't know if the drain back and bypass valves operate at the same pressure as OEM.
>>27604179Stock filter is already a decent size for the XJ.
>>27602920Nice how much
>>27604053Perfectly fine. Has even held up well against the Carolina pinstripes from the overgrown trails I go through.
>>27604287how many times have you com across clogged traditional oil filters?
>>27604307No reserve, auction hasn't started yet
>>27604288I know, but I'd like to have a larger capacity to fit another quart or two and it extends oil "life" just a bit more
Wranglerbros, need your 2 cents. Been waffling on a new car for a while now and have generally been a small car guy for the past few years (currently a flogged first gen Mini S, before that a Mk1 MR2 and an S197 Mustang) but used to drive a pickup in college. Anyway, I have a Wrangler rental for a few weeks and thought I'd hate it but its growing on me immensely. The tiny windows and snug cab remind me of my old 49 Ford project truck and just crusing around lazily with the windows down is such a different vibe from what I'm used to.Any pitfalls or typical Jeep trouble I should be aware of before go looking for one?
>>27604857>Any pitfallsthe fucking jeep "community"
>>27604859Can confirm. Love my jeep, not a big fan of jeeple
>>27604857>Any pitfalls or typical Jeep trouble I should be aware of before go looking for one?Depends on the year. The JK post-2011 is well-rounded for a nu-Wrangler. I'd go for 2012 and newer to avoid the 3.8L. The PentaStar is a PentaStar but the 3.8L wasn't any better
Can someone recommend me a decent basic/starter offroad gear checklist? I've got some straps in the mail and have a CB/antenna to start. The last time I was regularly offroad was as a college kid in an 02 jeep liberty with no gear to speak of. Long story short, i had the opportunity to do some legwork and pick up an LJ rubicon in great condition. Came with an extra set of wheels and factory soft top. Gonna start with getting out near me (mn) and just work further west/southwest from there.
>>27604857Seconding this >>27604882, before deciding to go 06 and earlier, my criteria were: two door, 2012 and up, sourced from a state with no road/ocean salt, as stock as possible. I didn't want the 3.8L, didn't want rust, and didn't want someone else's wheels/suspension/lights/fender/interior fuckup.

>>27605222All you need is 37s and some rubber ducks
>>27605241Post your bus pass
>>27605236>far from comprehensiveThat's just fine, i'm not takin it straight to moab thanks for the recs. The dudes who sold it to me were nice enough to include some extra fuses and niche "trouble parts" like the dash switches and the little plastic bits for the transmission linkage, super nice guys>>27605241just today i saw a big woman in a JL with probably 30 ducks glued to the dash. Exchanged a wave with an old dude in a yj last week though, that's all i really need.
>>27605248Lulz! So silly>>27605253Only ducks I've kept were the nautical ones because I like boat stuff
>>27605248beautiful, anon. My 02 was the same color other than the spots that had rusted out. It took so much shit from me without question. Missing it was what drove me to start looking again. Happy to see folks out and enjoying that truck, was/is so underrated.I didn't appreciate it enough to take any pics and then one day the rear diff turned to glitter at like 160kmi. Sold it to a family friend as is and they swapped the rear axle and took it to like 230kmi before retiring it for parts.
>>27605299Yeah mine isnt the best. Mine also ate the rear diff after the vent tube came off and it filled with water. Its been a ok jeep. Just it needs alot of money to fix it right. Still never got stuck any where with it yet though.
Alright I'll throw in my 2 cents on Jeeps.Jeeps are "Light Duty".That's not my designation, that's per manufacturer.So it's all fun in the sun with a stocker that saw a dirt road once on the way to the mall.But once mods have been thrown at it and it went down God only knows what trail, little issues start to arise.And by little I mean "cracked frame" or "bent suspension points".Jeep owners will link this post with pics of their rigs on trails and say "I've never had any issues" while also showing $10k of aftermarket components to fix/avoid thise issues. I'm not trying to talk shit about Jeeps.They're awesome.But they're under engineered.
>>27605590What do you offroad?
>>27605601Oh I don't drive, I usually cycle or take public transit if I need to get somewhere in the winter.
>>27605671Ok. So you're trolling and don't want your opinion to be associated with what you drive
>>27605601Other reply is obviously a troll.I have a rust free 1985 Bronco with a 351w and 6" lift on 33's.
>>27605590>look mom i posted it again
>>27591112Mine does still run. Just finished a major carbie to EFI engine swap recently with a Haltech ECU and it's booked in to be tuned properly in less than 12 hours. Haven't driven it for 8 months and can't wait to get back behind the wheel and hit some tracks. Gonna drive the wheels off this thing.
>>27605956Very nice anon. Cool and unique rig.
>>27605948Is anything i posted false?No.So eat a dick and go roll your jeep.
>>27605956I used to have an 1981 GL with the EA81. Fun little car.
>>27605408You have the Chrysler 8.25, no? Same as me. What was yours doing? Making a roaring sound on the highway? Vibrating? Thinking about rebuilding both of my diffs at some point. Rebuild kits are pretty cheap on rock auto.
>>27606561See >>27605675
A name brand MT is like $60 more for a set. These are really kino though. Would it be a dumb pick?
>>27606571Water killed the whole rear end. And yeah it s a 8.25. I had a junkyard one put in. I need to get the front seal replaced but im kind of holding out fixing anything other then the front brakes I just ordered. Going into 3rd is sometimes smooth and sometimes not. Also my rear main is leaking like a quart every 2 days. Then a lot of other stupid parts that are broken. I swear my driver side strut is going Bluetooth but ill know Tuesday.

>>27612986what diesel? I'm putting in a "new" 4.0 soon and I wanted to research putting in an Isuzu TD if this new one were to ever fail
>>27614873I wouldnt do Isuzu when theres so many different companies making adapter plates for VW diesels, and parts and aftermarket are widely available, as well as a bunch of different companies that will tune for youthat's what it is, a VW ALH 1.9 literI did a om617 in my Toyota, Mercedes diesel but that wasn't a good engine in comparison because it's so big and heavy and doesn't make as much power, but adapter plates are also available for thatyou also can't get old Mercedes parts at all anymore, and VW parts are fucking everywhereI converted this diesel to fully mechanical with no ECU, so the entire truck will function fine with no battery or alternator at all if you can simply push start it, which you can since I just converted it to a manual
>>27614873also ive been to that warehouse tons of times and had fires inside it, pretty comfy spot but drift fags blew it up
>>27614985>that's what it is, a VW ALH 1.9 literI had a feeling VW was going to be it. Will you be retaining the A/C? I know it can be done, just curious>>27614989Yeah as soon as I drove up to it, all the tire marks gave it away
>>27615043>Will you be retaining the A/C?yes, using the VW Jetta compressor, it won't fit in the standard spot so im making a custom bracket that mounts it to the passenger side of the engine, right under the turboyou can see the beginnings of the bracket bolted to the engine with the magnetic level attached to it here>>27613002
>>27615055Nice, I'm interested to see the finished product. I was going to get started on the crate for my 4.0 this weekend but the rain put a stop to that and I had other plans as well. I'll be working on it this week and I'll (hopefully) be moving both the engine and XJ into a shop to have the swap and other niggles taken care of
>>27615085hell yeah ill be posting updates, my last diesel swap took about 2 weeks but that was way less complicated as I wasn't also swapping the transmission and it didn't have an intercooler system or AC system, or power steering system
>>27612394Bump
>>27615415Hard to tell where the noise is coming from based on a video. Where does it sound like it's coming from? >>27614744We ain't squattin' no more. Drives so much better with the proper factory rake. Only had to cut off one of the four mounting bolts. Not too bad.
>>27615534Sounds from the front. Maybe transmission? Always happens when playing with the throttle. Seems to be something that's loose and brushing with the part that does the gear change?

>>27616195I sketched the flange up in fusion 360 and had it laser cut out of half inch, the elbows and tees are schedule 40 steel Im way too fucking drunk to be tig welding but I fucking did it anyway because I don't care
>>27616197like.a.glove.
Dog tree’d a cat this morning. It’s been there for hours now. Wat do?
>>27616441If Russian, cut it down
>>27616203how does this even work, the exhaust just goes out one cylinder and into another?teach me the ways of the direct exhaust injection
Yes, I do own a Pajero. No, I will not drive it off-road.
>>27616787Sounds like a Mexican car
>>27616558I assume he's planning on figuring out where to mount the turbo later and cutting a new hole for the pipe/flange based on those new measurements.It's a rookie way of doing it when you dont have enough knowledge or exerience to plan from the beginning to the end.Like pouring a slab for a house then going back with a jackhammer once you figure out where to put pplumbing.It will "work" but will be less than ideal and lack a measurable amount of performance.
>>27617164let's see anon's turbo manifold, then.>lack a measurable amount of performancecitation needed
>>27617164>It's a rookie way of doing it when you dont have enough knowledge or exerience to plan from the beginning to the end.I guess Mercedes, cummins, Detroit, cat etc don't have experience then?my om617 exhaust manifold is the same way, my 12v cummins manifold is the same way, the stock VW manifold was the same way, are you sure you know what you're talking about?>>27617225>let's see anon's turbo manifold, then.I don't think he will ever post it, something tells me it doesn't exist
>>27616558>how does this even worklike pic related, im waiting for my holset turbo to arrive then I can decide how the turbo will be positioned for intercooler hook up, downpipe routing, starter positioning, motor mount positioning and AC compressor positioning all that will determine where the turbo lands on the log manifold
>>27617677You're gay and I don't approve, but you do good work. Mechanical diesel XJ is a great idea.
>decide to go check out Wranglers>engine options: 3.6 Pentastar with oil leak issues, turbo 2.0 from Italy, or 392 V8 for a house down payment>transmission options: 6 speed manual with an exploding clutch plate or kraut 8 speed autoWhat the fuckHow do you even fuck up a manual transmission in 2024
>>27618044the wrangler sport specifically gets the mexican-produced "gen1" pentastar which is also used in the charger and challenger and doesn't suffer from the cam oil galley plug bolts loosening up and is generally better assembled than trenton, mi plant engines.the mexican plant is also where the hemis are made

>>27618197kek now i really wanna see this in action
>>27617597Nta but the performance losses meme with log manifolds specific to turbo diesels is because you will have a significant difference in egt per cylinder due to some having better exhaust flow than others. It's pretty much a non issue if you do individual cylinder egt, but if you do single point in the collection just before the turbo as most people do, the "performance lack" is you having to dial back the fuel an estimated amount to make sure you're safe at the far cylinders.It's not something you would worry about with a stock engine, and probably not a concern if you're building this thing with parts that others have already tried and tested.
>>27618276EGTs ain't a worry I just keep it under 1200 like my cummins (pre turbo) and that's it, I don't think about it past thatoh yeah I need to order an EGT gauge for this ty fur reminding me
>>27618110Trucks I've seen those on they spin slowly when on the highway.

>>27618044i was looking at a 2005 with the 2.4, 110k, obvious mall crawler 33's with no regear, went to drive it and the tranny was louder than the fucking tires
I no longer have a parasitic draw problem. I still have it but it's not a problem.
>>27617597>using tractor engines as an example of "performance".What a fucking retard.All of your examples made sacrifices for packaging dimensions.But you already know this.You did the same thing.You took shortcuts and started a build without even having all the components.Fine.It's not the first time in history and won't be the last.
>>27619286shut the fuck up and take the L.we're not racing diesel cars here, you dunce.
spec'ing out a Super Duty for camping and trail activities with the senpai. would picrel be a useful option if it has a small ~2" lift? the truck will have a topper on it. yes, i'm an old man.
>>27619182Literally what I'm about to do. My clapped out boosted beetle has every electrical fault in every major electrical system in the car. I've got drains, squibs, opens, and shorts. I'm gonna just buy a fuck-all big fucker agm like this and slap it in. If that doesnt work I'll put two in parallel idgaf, I got room in the trunk
>>27619313Post what I've said that was false.
>>27619324Based bug chaser Don't forget the 280A turbo
>>27619373
>>27619367You were wrong from the start. you assume that someone that builds a 4x4 truck should consider a 2% boost in HP at maximum sustained RPM when building an exhaust manifold (essentially from scratch).without dickriding too hard - buddy posted the best OC we've had in this thread in months and you come in here with your keyboard engineering and try to demoralize. honestly pathetic.
>>27619444That's your interpretation.Everything I stated was factual.
>27619467>All of your examples made sacrifices for packaging dimensions.Cummins (which you call a tractor engine) can double or triple their stock HP with the stock manifold.turns out that you were spouting nonfactual bullshit because a log manifold will give you performance without sacrificing anything.don't @ me faggot, just take the L
>>27619444Baste trips of truth.You're arguing with the same retard who said anons XJ would fold in half because he repaired the floorpan.
>>27618245HYB >>27618247Sadly no action. Just snagged a pic of home while down in obx while beach cruising. >>27618554I feel that bruh. I have the trip with the puppers coming up in a couple weeks when I finally get home.
The final boss of this suspension rebuild. Everything has been done except the front upper control arm bushings. Wish me luck.
>>27619378goddamn, switched alternator?
>>27619569I'm the one who stated all the facts about the exhaust.I think I remember the XJ you're talking about and I was nothing but supportive.You sound paranoid.Is anon in the room with you now?
>>27619286>All of your examples made sacrifices for packaging dimensions.That’s how cars work, everything on a car is packaging driven.
>>27612394>>27615573Help
>>27619784There's a difference between "designing within available space" and "generic compact layout for use across multiple platforms".The log exhaust is the latter.
>>27619467>>27619367factual and correct, but it irrelevant for this kind of application.
>>27619868the log is great, cummins can easily triple their stock horsepower with the stock log, those TDI motors come with 90hp and there are people getting 250hp with the stock log manifoldsthe log manifold isn't the limiting factor, I started this design with a 150hp goal, I selected the turbo, and injection pump based on that goal and designed the manifold to accommodate it, I've been collecting parts for this swap for years now and just finally started it
>>27619848Homie check one of the boomer jeep forums. There are like ten of them.
>>27619606Glad I'll only have to do this job once. Fuckinn a...
>>27619608I have no idea what I'm doing and its about to rain.
>>27620184Damn you'll never run out of ketchup and guac ever again.
>>27619888You're once again using the "performance" of an actual tractor engine to justify your choice.>not the limiting factorSo you're saying both the 90hp setup and the 250hp setup would see zero benefit from a better exhaust?
>>27620218>You're once again using the "performance" of an actual tractor engine to justify your choice.uhh I'm using the same design as the stock ALH manifold, which is an engine that came in the Jetta and Bug, not a tractor, and I already stated my power goals, goals which I set long long agothe intent of the swap was never power, the 4.0 made more power stock than the modified ALH, the intent was efficiency, reliability and increased range, flexibility when it comes to fuel like running on used oil and various other fuels
>>27620216It's got fluids on the floorboards
>>27620253Why you ignore the other half of my post?
>>27620483What exhaust are you recommending he fabricate?Can we see some examples of your skills, examples of experience you have in this field?
>>27620507I dont take pics of all my work like some 16 yearold school girl that needs praise from random people on tiktok.The vast majority of my carreer was before cellphones had cameras.But considering how much excess room is in that engine bay the there was no reason to not fab an equal length header.
>>27620637I’m sure you have a few pictures you could share from over the years, perhaps some tools of the trade?
>>27620652I undoubtedly could post pics of my Lincoln or Miller etc but I honestly don't need your approval.How about you prove any of my statements wrong instead.
>>27620702>I could own you but I won’tUh huh.
>>27620637Are you this insufferable in real life? You're always here spewing negativity and contribute nothing. Your presence is a net negative overall.
>>27620732>>27620897All I hear is>you're correct about everything, b-b-but.....Go back to whatever safespace you came from since being confronted with reality upsets you.Fucking losers.
>>27620922The reality is no one appreciates your presence here.
>>27619320If you plan on sleeping in the bed or are going to be in and out of it a lot, it would be highly useful. I sleep in the bed of my tacoma and wish it had a step built into the tailgate sometimes. They had an optional one that would hang off the truck but it looked like something that would just get caught up onto shit.
>>27620218>actual tractor engineWhat the fuck are you talking about?>would see zero benefit from a better exhaust?It's already been stated that the "log exhaust" is a fixture typical on the factory engine, meaning that the "log exhaust" itself has little to do with the power of the engine
Pouring too much to finish was starting to drown. Wire fuckery took longer than expected, had to do a bunch of fabbing I didn't anticipate. Just have to put the serpentine belt back on and test it out in the AM.
>>27620927As a matter of fact, I do. Your mentality is the same that Fuji trannies have on /p/, it's not enough to be correct, you also have to post a picture for them to niptick and pretend they won the argument despite being wrong.
>>27621286>"winning" an argument online is my highest purposeLow vibrations detected.
>>27621464I'm a bystander, not the guy making the argument but I agree with him and I'm glad someone calls you faggots out on your bullshit. Enjoy being retarded I guess.
>>27621472I’m not seeing anyone else post their work.Someone else post their work or shut up, this thread needs more doing and less bitching like a woman.
>>27619378what in the.. what is that switch for anon? 300A is a lot, can't you die with that?
>>27619324yeah, just don't forget to also buy a fire extinguisher
>>27621608NTA but I threw on a 250 amp alternator.It came with a spec sheet bench test and is actually putting out 270 amps.High output alternators are common in modern vehicles due to the massive amount of electronics- we've come a long way from 60 amp alternators of the 60's.

>>27620043Torch never fails, I don't look forward to doing my LCA bushings
>>27621608Its a fuse. Low voltage, you'll be fine
I was going to suggest torch earlier but sometimes it becomes an absolute mess.I'd hole saw that one and chisel the chunks.
>>27621487>post their workThis isn't weekend (w)renching general.
>>27621608Mate it takes a lot less amperage to kill you
>>27622054It's not actually the amps that kill you, it's technically the guy who throws the switch while you're strapped into the electric chair.
At least I didn't knuckle dust
>>27622135Jesus man.I haven't seen one do that in decades.And it's not like a 17 is small either.Chinesiumchromvanadium I'm guessing.
>>27620037I came from those forums they don't know. I've already checked for anything loose and repaired it. I can only think of something more internal but have no idea what.
>>27621608Bro it's 12 volts.
>>27621992It isn't do nothing bitch general either but here you are being one
Well this better work because cuz it'll be a massive asspain to go back to a regular battery after cutting this terminal off.>>27622155Yup random chinkers, all my burger 17s were too short to reach power steering bolt. Sure doesn't feel like 32ft lbs. Some conchoidal benchmarking
