    1986 pickup 4X4 trans/tcase leak

    I am looking at an 86 Toyota pickup to buy. One of the issues is a leak where the transmission and transfer case come together. It is a 5 speed. The fluid leaking is red. I am searching for info on this leak and find allot about a leak at the trail of the tcase but nothing where the tcase and...

    Sidewall strength, tire pressure, and tire quality

    They aren't actually plys or layers of material any more. The MTRs use Kevlar in their side walls. That is strong stuff.

    Sidewall strength, tire pressure, and tire quality

    If your driving style is to hit it hard and see what happens and you choose E rated tires because you want to drive with your right foot instead of using your brain, and you think those tires are what will allow that to hapen, go for if. Maybe get some 20 Inc or 22 inch rims that also may help...

    Sidewall strength, tire pressure, and tire quality

    I run Super Swamper C rated tires and they are designed for pretty serious off-road. I am not saying a C rated tire has as strong of a side wall as the same E rated tire. What I am saying is get the right tire for the right purpose. Get a sidewall that is designed for abuse if you are...

    Now write him back and ask him how the sidewalls in the duratrac compare the side walls in the Wrangler MTRs.

    Sidewall strength, tire pressure, and tire quality

    Everybody read this again. If you still are confused, read it again!!!!!! As far as tire size? There is a big difference between an suburban running 35s and a Suzuki Samaria running 35s.

    No Politics: This Is Why Electric Vehicles Won't Work In The Long Run

    This works for me. I do hope it comes happens sooner then later, I hope solar becomes more practical too. I would love to be able to make my own power and fuel for my vehicles.

    If the only thing you have to contribute is attacking others than I guess there maybe nothing left here for you?

    No Politics: This Is Why Electric Vehicles Won't Work In The Long Run

    Here is a thought, why not have you car charge you home. Your car has an alternator that charges its battery. The alternator is always going while the vehicle is running. How may batteries could you charge while running your vehicle on day to day? Could you charge enough batteries to help...

    I have a tractor, a go kart, lawn tractor, mower... I always have fuel sitting. My 2strock fuel may sit for more than a year before it is gets used up the regular fuel will sit through the winter. What I do love about an electric motor is it can sit and sit and sit and be ready to go. I do...

    If am not needing for an extended period of time why would I want to continually charge it. When I do need it I want it now, I don't want to wait for it to charge. I love the idea of an electric car. They are faster and quieter. A gradual transition is fine. They still have issues. It is...

    Like I have said as tech develops things will get better. BUT right now I can go buy 5 gallons of gas 3 minutes from my house, store it in my garage for a year and loose very little if any of it usefulness. The 5 gallons of gasoline I have stored in my garage a year later will still take my car...

    There is 3 sides to every story, your side, my side and the truth. I like the idea of eclectic cars. The transition has to come slowly or it will create more problems than it will solve. The change has to be based a more normal attrition rate of current internal combustion vehicles. The...

    Yep, not to go off topic BUT: I am redoing the floors in my house and was going with bamboo because it is supposed to be durable and environmentally friendly. What a load of BS. It isn't as durable as they want you think but it is really the environmental claims that is BS. Yes bamboo grows...

    I need a hardcore Jeep tire.

    I have a BFG MT 33X9.5 for a spare. It is under 50 lbs including the rim and not to heavy to sit on the tailgate of my TJ. The side walls are very thin. I would assume that the tires you mention would also have thin side walls. I think i would pass on them. My BFG MT is fine for a spare...
