Clean up all the terminals first before you condemn it.

Yeah but it just doesn’t make sense.....door ajar indicators should really only show if a door is ajar or not. Why tie interior lighting to that system?

How hard is it to tack the nuts in the right place? Seems like it would be hard to get them in the right place, unless you did them first and drilled skid second?

Zip ties.

No silicone needed on clam seal?

Not to mention your sanity.

A minor collision could cause a battery fire if the positive shorted out.

Keep it unplugged when not in use?

If I’m seeing things correctly, they have a (very long) big purple strap between the dozer and the cable, then the other end of the cable is where they insert the strap they intend to break, which is attached to the 20 ton tow strap around the tree. The purple strap between the dozer and the...

Myth Busters did a whole episode on the cable cutting off limbs thing.....it was busted (great episode btw, if I remember correctly there was a pig carcass involved) Cable doesn’t load much dynamically, it has very little stretch. Some, but not enough to remove a limb. Rope on the other hand is...

Your lights probably draw the same amperage as the winch will LOL

I use a front 2” receiver mount for a removable winch as well. Surely you’ll need a good connector for power. Here is how I do it. I keep the negative of the truck side of the connector hooked to battery all the time, and use a wing nut on the positive side when I have the winch hooked up. When...

The number of people who actually do serious off roading is so small that I don’t think EV’s would crack that nut for a long time. It will probably remain a niche market long after EV’s are the dominant vehicles on the road. And who cares? There is enough money to be made converting cities &...

To me it not just about saving gas. I’m more into maintenance meaning brakes and tires....and windshield wipers. No more engine problems, transmission crap.....exhaust work.....this is the game changer most people aren’t thinking much about. 80% of vehicle maintenance needs will disappear...

Everyone is posturing for the EV market. The transition away from ICE will at some point require a reduction in resources producing and developing ICE to allow for full focus on EV’s. I believe that’s what’s on every auto manufacturers 10 year plan. I call it posturing because it seems like...

It’s gonna be a bigger headache retrofitting everything vs just spending the money to put the original back in it.

Maintenance history?

A cheap IR thermometer is helpful in these situations, you can shoot various locations along the cooling circuit and see temps that are pretty close to actual temps, depending on location. It will let you see any hot spots or cold spots. If you don’t trust your vehicle thermometer, wrap the...

When does the hose collapse? During running or after shutdown?

Need a photo like that with the Raider instead.
