SUVs of all sizes have become the new mini van and those replaced the family station wagon. My guess is the main use for SUVs now is as fleets of cop cars.

Isn't that the same as a 7.50R16? IOW a 32x9R16 pizza cutter.

No argument @buellconvert about missing details!

Apparently 4WD since he mentions changing front and rear diff and transfer case fluid. It'll be a V6 since it has a timing belt. The 3RZ has a timing chain.

They should have included a standard 4WD vehicle with a transfer case and open diffs. It wouldn't have made it up that either and I bet a lot of SUV buyers don't know that. That ramp is testing how well your traction control works.

I didn't think it was condescending, just wondering aloud. A degree from a university, a certification from an organization, etc., what is required to earn the trust, authority and reputation? It had to start somewhere. What would you like to see in a certification for a four wheel drive...

@MOguy, regarding I4WDTA, I understand your point about certification. What gives weight to a degree from Harvard or a Red Cross first aid or anything else? Basically depends on the stated criteria they use and qualifications, the reputation of the certifiers and ultimately performance of...

Great idea. Only thing I'd do different is add some sort of thermal protection under the stove.

I think that's the root of it, early on especially people didn't know not to re-use a fairlead that had already been used with steel rope without inspection. The same issue would exist with hawse fairleads if they had been run over with steel, too. Especially aluminum ones that would easily...

I have one less AAL than what @BajaSurfRig is showing (but I weigh less) but he's otherwise done what I suggested stacking leafs and putting in the Timbren helpers until they hold up the weight. If you go with Alcans you'd get the same thing just without having to tear apart brand new packs...

My packs are OME CS047R with one D29XL added, total of 8 leafs now (they are 5+2 originally, that was a mistake in my original post). Mine now have 4 full length: top with eyes, second with partial wrap at the forward side, two full length (the D29XL and original that looked the same), 2...

I run OME packs with an extra leaf added with a significantly lighter camper and it's slightly over sprung. I'd feel fine running my packs with an FWC as they are 7 total now, 5 main + 2 overload on a 2nd gen Taco, not trivial difference, the shackles are inverted and tend to make the rear...

Do you mean a rear shock relocation like this?

The batteries are depleted but I think your fundamental problem is a connection. I agree with @WOODY2, it's often a poor ground that bites you.

So the armature shaft stayed with the drum. That's not necessarily catastrophic. Getting the motor reassembled is kind of a pain, the brushes are spring loaded and you have to have 3 hands to hold everything in place as you slide the armature back in. The motor shaft is supported by a bearing...

I just ordered a la carte. What I bought (along with grease) was Warn part numbers: 13848 x 2 (gear train gaskets) 32408 x 2 (tie bars) 13826 x 1 (thrust washer) 13831 x 2 (drum bushing) It was $30 + shipping for all of it. I did rewire my winch with a contactor, which was about $100 shipped...

Don't get wrapped around the axle regarding positive ground. Whether it's "most", "many" or just "some" solar controllers use positive ground just make sure you get one that is intended for negative ground or is floating. Read the specs and the manual and wire appropriately. Referencing the...

Your link is to the manufacturing and wholesale website. For low volume, e.g. individual purchases, the website is different. https://www.vtewarehouse.com/ I absolutely agree, great resource.

I dunno Scott, seems like sort of the opposite to poseur to transcend and succeed running otherwise plain looking tires in real conditions verse running KM3s in mall terrain duty.
