    ***CLOSED*** Krazy Beaver GB

    If domestic shipping is included (So Cal), and if you get over 15, I'm in for one at $67.99. Thanks.

    NATO can spout craziness

    Most obvious issue seems to be that the gray nipple and the white bushing are PVC, not ABS, and the tubing is either neoprene or vinyl. ABS cement won't work on those. You can get transition cement for joining PVC to ABS or you can get all-purpose cement, but it sounds like you used the...

    SOLD: Odyssey Ultimizer OMAX-50A-1B Battery Charger

    FYI, I spoke with Odyssey a couple of weeks ago and they told me that the dedicated charger for the 2150 is still 12-18 months out. If I didn't already have an Ultimizer 40-amp 3-bank, I'd jump on this deal. Are you interested in trading my 40/3 for your 50/1? I'm not far from you.

    Max tire size

    I did not say "legal," I said "approved." Big difference. OP seems to want to stay dead stock or very close to it. Therefor, the PW or H2 wheel is a smart move while he is buying tires, if he can find a set for low $. I bought two sets of H2 wheels, one set mint for $300 and the other...

    Max tire size

    The internal lip on the PW wheels is noticeably larger than the lip on most other wheels. I don't air down a lot, but some of the PW guys have reported good results down to about 12-15psi with these wheels on bigass trucks. The external beadlock rings are not DOT approved, with very few...

    Vehicle Mounted Rain Awning

    Look at the EZ-Awn Bat 270. It's completely self-contained, including the telescoping support legs. Everything folds back into the bag mounted on your rack. I put one on my truck a couple of years ago and it's perfect for our typically brief stops. Quick, simple, well made, but not cheap...

    Reterminate or splice battery cable?

    I don't know how much "a bit" is, but you might consider something like these. Marine electrical suppliers are your friend. http://www.boatownerswarehouse.com/product_p/deka-2-0-battery-cables.htm

    PW internal beadlock wheel. Designed by Alcoa to Dodge specs, were USA-forged from 2005 to about 2008, then made in China by Alcoa after 2008. Rumor is that they switched to another supplier around 2012. Look at that lip on the left side of wheel center. It is bigger than on other wheels and...

    Max tire size

    If you keep factory offset and don't get crazy with rim width, then 285s will clear with no problems, and 295s should also work. Get out there with a friend and a tape measure and you might convince yourself that 305s will clear. The tire cross section will play a big part in what works, so a...

    Max tire size

    Not enough info. Year? 2WD or 4WD? Gas or Diesel? Stock wheels or aftermarket? My '05 PW runs 35x12.50 Toyos with no rub, on either stock or H2 wheels, no lift other than the factory PW setup.

    Reterminate or splice battery cable?

    Not sure, but I think Blue Sea has some connectors that bolt together to connect two lengths of cable, and can then be insulated and waterproofed. How much additional length do you need?

    Full current switch vs relay?

    Your ARB portable is different than mine, which is less than a year old. In your case, just get a Blue Sea rotary switch and put it inline wherever it's convenient. If your compressor is not fused by ARB, get an appropriate inline fuse holder, too. Blue Sea tech support can confirm switching...

    pickup mpg with new engine types

    You want one, then you buy one. I won't get one at this time because it is not the right answer for me and my use. Don't give me this crap about spouting off without any sort of actual knowledge. Aluminum bodies, for example. I have had five cars with aluminum body panels. I sometimes do my...

    Full current switch vs relay?

    He's putting the compressor in the engine compartment. There will be no bulkheads to go through. Sounds like he plans to switch it on/off from under the hood. The compressor has its own power switch and the ARB cables can be ring-terminaled right to the battery. Hell, mine will be within...

    pickup mpg with new engine types

    Don't own a turbo, don't want a turbo, all my current trucks are V8s. Turbo issues are not rhetorical, they are real, as indicated by the failure reported by another poster. I worked in aerospace and military ship design, and anybody in those businesses can verify that complexity breeds...

    pickup mpg with new engine types

    It's that "TT" part. Two turbos are two things that can break and increase maintenance costs when the truck gets old. V8 trucks do not have twin turbos to break. My trucks get very old before I dump them. If you buy a new truck every three or four years, it's probably not a big deal. The...

    Full current switch vs relay?

    Keep it simple, forget the relay. I'm doing something similar with an ARB single on my '08 Tundra. Planning to fab a mount to hold the compressor to the core supports in front of the radiator, then wire directly to the battery with heavy cable and a Blue Sea Systems rotary switch. Total...

    pickup mpg with new engine types

    Simple is good. The twin-turbo EcoBoost is far from simple. I prefer not to have any aluminum body panels on a truck. Between EcoBoost and aluminum body, the Ford is probably a money pit when it's older. The EcoDiesel is attractive, and would probably be my first choice if I needed a new...
