    Just another tire thread!!

    I haven't been able to find a good snow/ice tire. Tread pattern for ice used more rubber to increase the contact. Once the snow is over 4" the ice tires plug up. Was happy with the KO2. I killed them after 2 years of towing a trailer so I may try the Wildpeak (more $$ here) AT3 that have more...

    Winch fairlead for synthetic cable

    A line week from abrasion (sand, friction& iron oxide) will keep breaking unless the week secion is removed. We'd tie knots but this screwed up the spooling on the drum. After learning (1st ones lasted less than a month) how fast abrasions kills synthetic we (those of us who cared) did treat...

    Tell me about shore power and converter chargers.

    A converter/ power supply can't be programmed to suit the charging specs nor does it have a battery temp sensor. Commonly used Trojan T105 require 14.82V @77F this would need to be higher as temp drop. The converters I know of (WFCO PD and IOTA) will out a max of 14.4V.

    Winch fairlead for synthetic cable

    Keeping the syn line coverd or removing it from the drum when not in use to prevent dirt/sand from entering it will help as well. I see people wrap their recover straps/ropes around the bumper and I wonder if they are know what dirt/sand will do to the line.

    Winch fairlead for synthetic cable

    It will weld to syn rope. My first choice for a syn rope fair lead or rollers is stainless steel, second is aluminum. ***Edit. . . . rollers with delrin bearings Rollers are 10x better than a fair lead. Any type of abrasion ruins syn rope. Allowing syn to cross wrap on the drum is as bad...

    Tell me about shore power and converter chargers.

    I like to refer to the WFCO (does not bulk charge), Progressive Dynamics & IOTA units as "power supplies" . The primary purpose is to provide DC power (with our without a battery) in a range that is acceptable to the appliances. These unit do not have a battery temp sensor so the voltage...

    The brackets could be made with saddles to allow 2 rivets/screws on each side but that would increase the cost allot Cutting breaks the powder coat finish and allows corrosion to start. Drilling and tapping would need material that is a min of 3/16 (5mm) and stainless is a PINA to drill/tap...
