You can find them on ebay fairly cheaply. One there now for $150 or best offer. Just make sure the dial is not buggered. I will be checking mine against my snap on 3/4 torque wrench. But I don't really see me using it for tires. The Amazon torque multiplier is about 1/3 of the weight and I...

The rivnuts took 6mm screws so about I drilled them out to about 10 mm. I think that blue painters tape is permanent. I have some marking my punch list on the Ambo that has been there about 2 years and I cannot get it off without heat and 3m sticker remover.

Being a lazy bugger I have discovered another way to torque up the lug nuts or pinion nuts etc. I picked up this device which is 132:1. I can get 600 ft lbs with a 6" 3/4 drive ratchet. And it has a built in dial. It comes with 3 snap on sockets and it also has a wrench to use with a...

Thanks Bob that looks like the ideal thing. And I have an excuse to order something else from Amazon so I can get it. Win Win!!

Bump still taking up garage space at my place. I might be willing to split the Jesse luggage off and sell separately if someone just wants the bikes.

Might be heading to California next week in the truck so I decided it was time to remove the front Ambo lights. It was a PITA as they just bolted through the roof for the rotating lights. I had to grind the heads off the bolts as getting a wrench on the inside would of entailed removing the...

Have you got something to torque the lug nuts with. 450 ft lbs. also if you happen to have someone coming through Phoenix you can have a loan on my little torque multiplier device. I have a heavy duty one here if (touch wood) I need it.

Did you get my PM? Also have you checked that your axle has spacers. My 98 had a hybrid d60 in the front which had a drw hub with no spacer. Chris a UJOR sourced some Dynatrac hubs for me

Since you should of sorted the flow side for the turbo I would suggest you look carefully at fuel pressure as the next item for low power. Also its been a long time for me but didn't the power stroke vans have something on the turbo that restricted power until it warmed up. I know all of mine...

Big tooth wood blades for the Sawzall

If you are going to run an ARB I would put it in the front. Easier to switch that off when you need to do a tight turn while in 4wd. From memory (risky proposition) the guys that make the Lokka where the original supplier for Aussie Lockers. Then they came out with ones they sourced elsewhere...

What did you use them in and what was the failure???? What can wear out or break. There is only a set of pins and springs. The only downside I have found is a little bit of noise (clicking) when cornering and if you provide positive power when cornering it will push you into the corner. With...

They look like blocks of cheese

How about a really late update. When I was back in Australia in November we managed to get the vehicle panel work finished, Ambo box all mounted and sufficient wiring done to get it registered. On the following trip in Jan (very hot there then) I took it on its maiden voyage towards my...

If you are still thinking of adding lockers I would recommend the Lokka ones out of Australia (but you buy them cheaper in the USA, go figure). I put a set in my 6 wheeler and it really made a difference. There is a set waiting for me in Australia to put in the troopy. What I liked about them...

Not really. You need no electricity to run a diesel. Some had air starter (compressed air turned the starter motor) others had what was called a pilot or pony motor that turned the engine over. But generally a mechanical injected diesel will have 2 electrical components. The starter system just...

No worries Scooter. That is good info. Tires for our size rigs are a big $ item and luckily you usually only get one chance in the trucks lifetime to buy a set. (Hard to wear a set out with private use). But the price difference between the Chinese ones and the others is currently significant...

You can get the ex military communications containers. Light weight and well insulated but still fit ISO standard mounting. We were considering the Gitchner (probably spelt wrong) ones for the back of the M 1078. http://www.gichner.us/s-280.html

Price and location???
