I feel like this thread doesn't have enough graphics of trucks and pulleys and trees and lines... He's my contribution (though not my image)... this was the point I was trying to clarify way back on page 1:

That makes sense. Thx!

Well oh well... been working, haven't been updating... I've got a short update tonight, more tomorrow. Basically I've been primarily working on the doors. I'll get to an update on those tomorrow. Tonight I got the floor bump for the driveline parking brake rotor fab'd up. Wasn't too hard, just...

First off, I'm not a mechanical engineer, just a guy trying to read equations on Wikipedia... very open to being corrected... but if power is work over time and work is force over distance... and the initial force used remains constant... doesn't the force at the load increasing when pulleys are...

REALLY curious for you to elaborate on this... what "incorrect" rigging are you thinking this article clarifies? Or what misconception are you trying to disabuse people of?

Hey, wanted to check in, see if you've been using your radio at all and if so how it has been.

Pretty good evening of work yesterday. Solved 2 problems that ranged from a bit of a show-stopper to a minor annoyance. The show stopper was this issue with the transfer case coming so close to the transmission mount. During the day I'd looked through pics of various custom transmission mounts...

Well, I countersunk the the 3 bolts today. Definitely better, but the bushing is still resting on the adapter plate. And though I didn't try it, I'm gonna say the stock crossmember is, at least, going to require a fair bit of trimming to fit. After I got that done I spent some time taking...

Well, yesterday was another 2 steps forward, 1 step back kind of day. This transfer case adapter situation continues to be a PITA. I'm genuinely starting to think I'm doing something wrong in the big picture... It started off on a good note though. I've been using an air impact gun for most...

Bit of an emotional roller coaster last night. I was super excited to get my Advance Adapters TH400 -> NP205 adapter in, expecting it'd be the solve to my output/input shaft engagement concerns. To review, the stock 4WD 4L80e adapter, plus the Northwest Fab Works Circle-6 to Figure-8 adapter...

Nope, just gonna leave it the plain galvanized steal, and no, changing the shackle hanger placement only effects the orientation of the shackle. The axle only changes location in the wheel well minimally when compressed, and since the spring isn’t compressing any more with the hangers here than...

Well, it's been another productive weekend, though not a terribly flashy one.' Saturday I ran a few errands in the morning - got a fresh tank of gas for the welder, swapped the propane tank so I could heat the shop, etc - so I only had the afternoon to work. The door I had added the power...

Thanks! The Sound Control is $150 for 2gal on Amazon The Heat Control is also $150 for 2gal on Amazon

Kind of redundant to my updates, but I made a video of spraying the Lizard Skin...

I am, and you’re right... i’m Just being lazy and silly. The can will definitely be handy for the interior touch up though... :)

Oh boy... new wrinkle... As you can see in the above photos of the floor, there's some areas on the cargo area walls that are missing paint. Apparently GM put the rear seat latches on before they painted... odd. Since I'm not keeping the rear bench seats I removed the latches. Obviously those...

Hey FBJR, Here's that measurement for you: my center-point measurement is: 23" from the lip of the cargo area floor in the back, and obviously centered on the floor side to side. The forward edge of the cut was at 28", the rearward edge was at 18". Since the edge of the brace was actually at the...

If by "does the same thing" you mean carry stuff... yeah, so would a bandana tied around your clothes for that matter. Your feet do basically the same thing as a car, and walkin's a lot cheaper... :********: Come on man, how about contributing to the conversation without **************** on other people's...

Eagle Creek Cargo Hauler Duffel 60L I used to use my lightweight camping backpack but I've found the rare times when I actually want to use the shoulder straps the ones on this duffel bag are sufficient. I also use Eagle Creek Pack-It organizers to keep shirts, undwear/socks, and other items in...

Yeah, I can take some measurements for you tonight. From what I've seen EVERYONE cuts the support. I think if you were to avoid it you'll end up having to reach under it to access the fittings, which is kind of against the point of the panel in the first place. I will say that it seems plenty...
