Looks like you have your answer already but measure the gap and buy the boot rubber to suit. My truck has about 11” between the cab and box with a 2” lip on the cab and a 6” lip on the box. So I used the biggest boot rubber they listed (4” - 10”). Make sure you leave plenty of overlap to join...

If you go with installing a rubber boot (which would be my suggestion) you can buy it from www.fixmyambulance.com I got a replacement boot for mine from them and it was reasonably priced and quickly delivered. As another suggestion if you go that way would be to put a canvas type boot over...

This is to do with pedestrian safety and not the vehicles ability to survive an animal strike. Checkout this as a reference as to what has been deemed suitable for bullbar construction in Australia. (NSW). https://roadsafety.transport.nsw.gov.au/downloads/bull-bar-tolerances.pdf

Hmmm I have a set of 365/80R20 new sitting in the container and I could use a winch this size. But I think shipping to/from Phoenix would be the killer.

I’m not sure about the “only works on 3 phase theory. Speed is proportional to frequency on any AC electric motor. If you are saying it may not work on a capacitor start motor I could understand that could be possible. For example...

Replacing the compressor with an AC one is possible (in theory) as long as you match the size and also handle the airflow for the condenser. Finding one that handles 134a could be a challenge. Also check out how the Starcool (I think that was the brand) that Sportsmobile used to build into...

Was “Cummins” a Freudian slip? [emoji1]

Sure I will swap. Sounds like a deal to me. [emoji1] Sorry I couldn’t resist it. Here is a bump for you anyway.

D rings rattle and you still need a shackle to hook up anything but chains. And I defiantly do not recommend using chains. My suggestion is to get a recovery rope (kinetic) and a tow rope suitable for your vehicle along with whatever hard/soft shackles required to rig it properly. Also a strap...

How far apart are the holes (along the frame)? That will govern the leverage applied by the vertical load. A single 3/4 grade 8 bolt will give you around 30,000 lbs of clamping force but has a shear strength of around 38000 lbs. which sounds a lot. But when you take the leverage applied from...

I use the 2500 but have doubled up the pulleys (4 of them now but one just changes direction). This slows down the assent-descent as well as lower the load on the winch. It handled it for normal bikes without the extra pulley but the sidecar made it grunt a lot. Also on the 1/2” or 3/8” plate...

Harbor Freight. Go 1 size over what you need. I swapped out a Warn and put a Hated Freight one on just for the wireless remote and since they are so cheap I grabbed a spare (carry the spare remote and control box). I have lifted my R1200RT, K1200LT and the old 1963 R60 BMW with a Ural sidecar...

Just for something to consider with the spare. It is much better to have the spare when loading or unloading to be vertical. Not sure what tire combination you have but mine weigh about 450# at the moment (bloody runflat inserts). And I’m no 100# weakling but they kick my ******** if I have to get...

Just hit eBay and grab a PDF disk of the Ford service and repair manuals. The Clinton ones are a POS I think. You may even be able to find them online for free these days.

There are 3 filters. The main one in the bowl. There is also a screen in there that can get blocked. The most PITA one is built into the fuel pick-up in the tank. 2 little finger size filters actually inside the mixer. There is also a water drain on the fuel bowl which should be opened every...

Checkout the 2007 Freightliner in my sig line. So a couple of myths to dispel. Depending on what the conditions were for the auction it is fine to take the S&S lmtv vehicles out of the states and back in again. The CAT engines do have EPA certification on their name plates. But the extra cab...

Try this link for the Kendon flip. https://advrider.com/f/threads/kendon-dual-rail-can-you-reverse-the-torsion-bar-axle-to-get-it-off-the-ground.877588/

Awing = tree magnet. I pulled mine off until I can find a way to realistically protect them from branches and that is in the desert. I shudder to think what abuse yours go through. A pole saw comes in handy for us (just a few trees to trim) but that would be days of work for you.

You can flip the axle on the Kendon trailers for better ground clearance. I have a thread about it on Advrider.com. Just search under the same user name.
