Hi I just bought a new never used Husky 10,000lb winch It came out of a Grainger warehouse and was sold off with a bunch of other discontinued merchandise. Now that I have it I don't think I am going to be able to use it so I may be flipping it soon. The remote has 3 male pins, and the winch...

How did you come to the conclusion that your lug pattern is 6 on 5 inch? I thought your initial post was a typo, I have never heard of that lug pattern my guess is 6x5.5

Look on Etrailer.com and you should be able to find hubs in your pattern but you will need to know your axle capacity and spindle dimensions.

At home I have a traditional Mig. It welds great and I have control over voltage and wire speed. With shielding gas I get nice welds. It takes less than a minute to set it up. If I was to use the ready welder at home I would need to gather batteries together I would have less control over...

I got mine off of craigslist years ago. Mine is the military version with all kinds of options to power it up and extra doodads. Id like to hear how you usually power yours, what you have used it for and maybe see some of the results. Were you stick welding with batteries before you got the...

If you can't back up yourself having a spotter is not really going to help. A spotter is only helpful if they are behind the trailer seeing something that is blocked by the trailer. You don't see guys with huge trailers out in the streets with a spotter every time they back up, it is a skill...

Put a receiver on the front of your rig so you can put a trailer ball on the front. If there is room to turn your rig around you can push the trailer out. Having a ball on the front of your rig can be very handy for putting your trailer in tight spots. Otherwise backing a trailer up is just...

I am curious as to why you didn't look for a used rear on craigslist or the junkyards

Chevy SSR as well as full size trucks all came with LS style engines which all have the same front accessory drives

If a leaf spring will be an option then don't use standard trailer springs. Use something longer and common like Wrangler YJ springs. Make the fenders easy to raise and lower so if one swaps in larger tires they can remount the fenders without major surgery. If the fenders will be "jeep...

Electric cooling fans on a 01 2500, are they aftermarket? Are they pushers with a engine driven main fan? Are the cooling fans controlled by the engine ecu or a stand alone controller?

It looks to me like you will be loosing several inches of clearance under the axle which in reality may be more important in theory than in practice. I have a feeling that by the time you are done you would have been better off building your own radius arms shaped to your needs. I like the...

They weigh less than a pound empty and the snout extends maybe 4 inches above the main tank. Other than a bladder what other vessels weigh less and take up less space? What other vessels are cheaper or easier to find? What other vessels can be easily exchanged? If you are concerned about...

They may not be very sexy but what is wrong with the 5gal plastic water bottles used on coolers and available everywhere?

I would not want to wander around an unknown town looking for a place to get a tank filled during their business hours and the possibility that they would not fill my tank. What if the town doesn't have a place that refills C02. What if that patch job turns into a slow leak that needs to be...

The longer the spring the smoother it will ride. Maybe you should think about going to a much longer spring from something like a YJ or a Cherokee rear leaf

Ambulances used to have external adjustable voltage regulators, wouldn't that solve the low voltage issues you guys are bickering about? No one here seems to be giving out solid concrete numbers A to Z to support their arguments, without them this just sounds like a ********** fest of those trying...

What engine mounts do you use?

I think that is what I stated in simpler terms. You may be loosing some efficiency by going from 12v nominal to 120 back to 12v nominal but will that loss of efficiency be measurable when running off the alternator which should have much more capacity than is being used? For me that small...

Around my area most Hummer owners are thought to have a lot of negative narcissistic personality traits. I don't know what they sell for, but their asking price seems very high for an aging used GM vehicle.
