Isn't Texas an open range state, too? Most of the west is, meaning you as the land owner are responsible for fencing grazing livestock out, not in. So gates are everywhere. If the USFS or BLM has a gate and it's locked then you can't pass. If the road is public (designated either Federally...

I don't know that 4.46:1 1st in an NSG370 is silly low. It's reasonably low. But even with 35" and 4.56 I'd still personally use it to start, if for no other reason than to keep the clutch happy. Your 2nd is 2.62:1 and that's getting tall enough you'd be slipping the clutch a little to get...

Right now I think it would only affect IARU region 1 (Europe, Africa, Mid East) but since it's part of the globally coordinated 2m spectrum if they can't use 144-146 then it becomes less important internationally and would probably come here. The ARRL has a spectrum defense fund that is already...

The original Toyota BJ prototype they came up with after the war had a 1 speed transfer case with a low 1st gear and the first Land Cruisers (FJ2x) didn't either. If I'm not mistaken that was also the case with the old Jeeps and Internationals, really most trucks back then - a very low 1st gear...

Pretty sure all Duracell are East Penn/Deka rebadged.

Just reading the brochure for the 2019 Silverado. They offer two options for transfer cases. They both have an Auto 4WD mode but only one has low range...

The MXT400 seems like a fine radio. @BigDaveZJ would have to answer why he went with the MXT275 instead of the MXT400, but if you're asking generically the question of mobile antennas remains the same whether you have 5 watts or 40 watts. Do you have perhaps more pointed question or concept...

In Colorado there are two possibilities. If it's a collector the limit is 4,500 miles annually but is otherwise basically treated as any other car of that vintage. Must pass an emissions test for example. A historical vehicle (what is called a horseless carriage) can only be driven on roads...

Only used once to cut steel fence wire.

I prefer curved jaw cutters (or I suppose curved bypass pruners if you're shopping in the garden section). It's probably not too critical for battery cables, but they take less effort so the cable stays more round and strands don't get displaced. They are pretty much the only way to cut coax...

The first generation tended to rust in the tradtional location of Toyota trucks, in front of the rear leaf spring just forward fixed eye and along the frame rails underneath the bed. That was due just to exposure to road debris and not keeping the inside of the frame clean. Those frames were...

The rule of thumb I've heard repeated often is to locate it 60% of the distance from the front of the cargo bed or box. But the actual ideal location of the axle depends on the center of mass of the trailer. You want 10% to 15% of the total weight on the tongue so you have to calculate base...

For the smaller sizes these: https://www.delcity.net/store/Non!Insulated-Ring-Terminals/p_823560.h_806204 Or Versakrimp (Molex) from Mouser: https://www.mouser.com/Molex/Connectors/Terminals/VersaKrimp/_/N-5g5u?P=1z0z248Z1z0z4xuZ1z0z25hZ1yzxc0hZ1z0zlewZ1yilumv

I usually use these from Waytek: https://www.waytekwire.com/products/1427/Eyelets/&Special-Features=Heavy-Duty Or these from Delcity: https://www.delcity.net/store/Heavy!Duty-Copper-Lugs/p_1012.h_92198 You can get Thomas & Betts from Allied...

It's not unusual for a vehicle to come new with a different filter than they recommend later, especially I find with Japanese companies. The corporate structures mean sometimes different parts chains for country, the particular factory and the dealer network. Could also just be a mistake in...

Load range E is rated as 10 ply but they actually have much fewer. The ply rating goes back to cotton ply tires and doesn't really mean anything now. Hasn't really since tires went to nylon plies and now steel belted radials. These days, just for an example, a BFG KO2 235/85R16 in range E...

Spent the first 15 years out of engineering school designing analog and mixed signal printed circuit assemblies for satellites, worked and tested to MIL and NASA standards. Since leaving Denver a few years ago worked contracts that required UL consumer, SAE heavy truck, IEC/NEC, API design...

The Series 1, size 16 contacts are rated 13 amps. The Series 2, size 20 contacts are rated 7.5 amps. Series 3 power connector terminals are rated 25 amps and the Series 5 Powerband are rated 45 amps. I would suggest Series 5, would look similar to this. The largest pin and socket accept 8...

If you do MIL-SPEC then you really can't do CPC. They would have to be proper MIL-C-5015 or MIL-DTL-38999 and the correct crimpers to pass dimension, visual and pull test. If all you're doing is a 50 mm/min rate and AWG-dependent force check and don't care that's not an absolutely perfect...

You're seeing 8/2 duplex marine for $1.50/ft? That's a steal. West Marine (again, just a data point) gets $0.96/ft for UL 1426 8AWG Ancor and genuinedealz is asking $2.65/ft for the duplex.
