The short answer is no. I had a set of 35" Toyo MTs that left a bare spot on the lower control arms at full lock, but nothing that you could feel through the steering wheel. The ATs seem to be just a hair smaller, and I see no signs of further rubbing. Next set of Toyos will probably be RTs...

Switch is in the box, but it's already wired. Just move it with the compressor and screw it down to something. I have an ARB single portable that I bought for my Tundra. It's going on a mount between the grill and the radiator, as soon as I fab the mount. Would have bought a twin, but not...

You can simplify your compressor situation by getting the ARB twin portable, and then just removing it from the box and hard mounting it on the prefab mount that is already in the engine bay. The compressor has its own power switch and pressure switch, so all you have to do is screw it down and...

Shorter sidewalls will provide better handling on pavement and more driver feedback through the steering wheel. Taller sidewalls will work better off road and in aired down situations, but with less driver feedback on pavement. I think the handling question is a moot point on a Super Duty...

Hi-Lift in my GMC. Make your own mounts from some scrap angle or aluminum. Simple, cheap, compact, and better than anything you can buy.

I'm running 35" 12.50 Toyo AT-IIs on my Power Wagon, replaced a set of MTs in the same size. Taller sidewall is generally better offroad. I have 275-70-18 AT-IIs on my Tundra, would much prefer 285s, but previous owner installed them just before he sold me the truck.

I'm not coming to any conclusions. I am reporting what I was told by an actual ARB tech support employee. Their hardware, their repair and failure statistics, their conclusions that the twins run hotter and thus are somewhat more prone to failure regardless of numbers sold. Twins may be used...

Even ARB says the duals run hot, and they get a lot more warranty calls about the duals than they do about the singles. This info from a discussion I personally had with ARB tech support.

I have gone thru a bunch of BFGs over the years on several trucks. Switched to Toyos when I got a Power Wagon, don't forsee ever going back to BFGs. Have had my own problems with BFGs, and Dodge issued a TSB on their OEM BFG ATs regarding death wobble on the 2500s. If you're going to buy new...

There was a fair amount of discussion about this on DodgeTalk's PW forums back around 2005-2007. My PW is a 2005, and I think they started the full hydroformed frame with the 2006 model year (could be wrong, but that's what I remember). The Dodge factory sliders were available from the parts...

OK. My PW is a 3G and weighs close to 8500 when loaded. I don't have sliders but I do have a set of N-Fab dropped nerf steps, which were originally mounted to the pinch welds (and only to the pinch welds), per N-Fab instructions. A few years ago I buried the truck up to the axles in the...

The 24" with wheels and the 20" w/o wheels are both on the website at just under $30. I'm not a member, but last time I needed something that was only available from Sam's, I was able to order online with a 10% non-member premium, and free shipping on that order. If the website gets down to...

Go to the Power Wagon Forum for the straight scoop. Lots of first hand reports about various sliders on PW's, both commercial and home-fabbed. http://forum.powerwagonregistry.org/viewforum.php?f=2 The Dodge factory sliders (when they were available) were all bolt-on, and Dodge advised...

Electro-geek emporium was closed yesterday, so it's back to NEMA boxes and sprinkler timer boxes and Pelicans. Power supplies and receivers arrive tomorrow, so then I'll have some idea of how to fit everything in.

Yes. These boxes are all either pretty sloppily built, or have vents, or both. The Pelican boxes would be the exception. The steel NEMA boxes have loose fitting doors, and whatever I use will be mounted to a stucco wall on standoffs to allow some air circulation on the back. I'll add a drain...

There are metallic and nonmetallic NEMA 3 & 4 enclosures available, but none that meet all the "requirements" of this installation. I have a plastic NEMA 3 on the way in from Amazon, and have been playing with a couple of steel enclosures that I have here. Preferences are that the boxes be no...

Rayra, good tip. Thanks.

Tried that. Yesterday went to Home Depot and Lowe's, plus four commercial and agricultural irrigation suppliers, plus online search. The residential stuff is crap and the commercial stuff is all special order, super high prices and long lead times. Electrical main lug boxes will work, but...

Anyone have actual experience removing the handles from Pelican cases without doing damage to the handle or to the case? I'm 100 miles from my Pelicans and working on an architectural low voltage lighting installation. Need a couple of waterproof boxes to mount 12-24V power supplies and LED...

Have you tried Industrial Metal Supply on San Fernando Road? They have bins full of scrap and cutoffs out in the shop area, sold by the pound, and you might get lucky. Might save a ton of money by finding two pieces 11x72 and just installing side by side on your fabbed frame. And they can...
