You could use a big ***** crimper or perhaps lugs/solder pellets depending on the size of the wires/cables you're soldering. Todd Z.

Too funny! That's the first thing I noticed when I saw that picture too :). Todd Z.

As previously noted, the military terminals are really a nice sanitary way to do it: http://www.stylepinner.com/military-battery-terminal-and/bWlsaXRhcnktYmF0dGVyeS10ZXJtaW5hbC1hbmQ/ I've used them for years on various vehicles without issue. I like being able to remove cables/wires from the...

Saw the pic and realized it wasn't Raquel because I didn't see the Brembos :). Finally got the thread link to work again that bcaine linked. Todd Z.

The link you attached doesn't seem to open but I can tell from the title that it's the thread on Raquel, which is Ramsey's Blazer, not a Bronco :). A neat project nonetheless and I hope to see it on the road (or trail) someday. As for the method of attaching the radius as shown in the photo...

Great shots and report. We traveled some of that route in 2011. We had ominous weather too - snow that night in our camp. Todd Z.

Camburg, Autofab, Weldtech, and others all use a similar design in the construction of their arms. Ramsey/Glen's design is also a great option that has been used extensively in the TTB pre-run/race market, most notably by Spirit Racing and Curt LeDuc on his trucks. Both designs are well-proven...

What is POW an acronym for in this instance? Todd Z.

Congrats on the magazine cover and article! If you need some extra copies, just let me know. Todd Z.

I'm guessing it's sold since the ad is over 3 years old. Todd Z.

I find a ton of articles online from early October that state Johnson Controls and Enersys were in talks for a purchase but nothing that states the sale went through or has been completed. Do you know for certain that it has? Thanks, Todd Z.

It shouldn't matter. Those Ford calipers (which I'm familiar with) have huge pistons. I'd still try a unit off a pickup/Suburban from the vintage of your rig. If the master cylinder bore is too small and the pedal is too low for your liking, you can always step up a size in master cylinder...

Those are forged Alcoa wheels - good ones! Todd Z.

NASA 8739.4 doesn't specify whether it's only for stranded or solid wire, but the illustration shows it with solid (as referenced in the article). I've worked with NASA specs for many years and I don't recall ever using a linesman's wrap with stranded wire. Todd Z.

A new way to get unstuck. A new accessory for your ammo can. Wilwood managed to get "tactical" and "Xtreme" into their description of their new brakes. A locking D-hook. A personal hero of mine, Peter Brock, talking about the design of Cobra Daytona Coupe #1

Next year if not a trail before that. The show was a one-day affair for me this year - lots of quick walking... Todd Z.

Overlanding royalty. Overlanding on a large scale. More later. Very slow connection at the moment. Todd Z.

As you know, there will be plenty of those types there for Martin to meet. My best advice from a non-SEMA standpoint is for him to join the Society of Automotive Engineers when he starts college. Get involved with their Mini-Baja or Formula SAE programs. SAE provided the start for my career...

Will be cool to see it! Todd Z.

Looking forward to seeing how this build shapes up. Todd Z.
