    MRAP wheels on a RAM 5500? Mismatched track front to back?

    You have to bolt the adapter to the other side of the rim. It moves it over about an inch to an inch and a half if I am remembering my numbers correctly Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    "The Crummy" 2006 F450 fire crew buggy

    In my old truck, the steps made a great spot for the boots, I had a small hole in the bottom step, under the step itself, so it would drain as snow etc melted off the boots. Clutters the stairs a little, but worked well. Don't under estimate the usefulness of hooks! We have the 3m stock on ones...

    DIY Propane Firepit

    Campfire in a can is just too large for me. Small and self Contained is what I wanted. I used mine all weekend [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Ski Bum Truck V2.0, F450 Rough Road RV

    Tried that. Helps slightly. This was a situation that was just ice with sloppy wet snow over it. Like zero traction. Took Maxtrax on all 4 wheels to move at all. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    This one is helical vs a friction pack. I think it needs a little traction to work. At least that's what my googling seemed to point to. On ice it's just useless Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    ACME tanks have a float in them. I believe its magnetically coupled to the gauge, but it may be a thru tank float. Not 100% sure. The gauge just have a 0-90ohm sensor in it. I am sure its not real accurate, but close. My tank is big enough I fill it every couple years.

    I have not yet, but it's on the list. Yes the color control should read it, it's a standard range ohm sensor. I don't remember what it is off the top of my head. You can tell it full and empty range Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    How do you think the line sets will hold up to bending on open/close of the door?

    How about those cascading projects? :********: I wanted to add a tank level sensor to my Color Control, the little icon says "no tanks" had stared at me long enough. I have a SeeLevel gauge on it, JUNK. Stick on sensor that doesn't stick on, is inaccessible etc. It sucks. So Victron makes a...

    I used Sikafelx poly on the roof last time, it didn't last well. This stuff is supposed to be bullet proof. So far it seems to be holding up. Slippery as balls in the snow though. I don't want to have to stow a ladder, they do work fine, I just would prefer fixed in place/no set up. I like...

    Weekend report. It works GOOD. I have a leak somewhere, it drops down over night. I was closing the valve I put in between the compressor and switch since as I was about the leave it started leaking/blowing fittings off. I didn't have time to ******** around with it yet. May be a little more...

    Start to a possibly stupidly overcomplicated project. I want to be able to work from this thing occasionally. I need better cell/data service. The aluminum box kills it, we have a little mifi device, and it works ok inside usually, but it generally better on the roof. Plus I seem to always end...

    The capacitor style? I didn't think that would have a chance on a big diesel. In theory I can jump from my house bank too. But that was before finding my issue.... Both starting batteries have been replaced.
