IIRC, the HX35 and HY35 were available on the 5.9 B series Cummins, while the HX40 came on the much larger 8.3L C Series. I am not sure what turbo came on a 4BT from the factory, but I would expect that an HX35 would be a bit laggy on a 3.9L motor that has not been fiddled with (higher RPM...

Thin VHB tape will bond almost anything to almost anything else. You will destroy the substrate before the tape will fail. It is unbelievable what you can do with it. http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Adhesives/Tapes/Products/~/3M-VHB-Tape?N=6105&rt=c3 There are other products...

Based on those curves, i would want to see about 1800-1900 rpm at your expected cruising speed. If you post trans model, gears and tires, i can put them in my spread sheet and spit out some numbers for you.

If you know the horsepower and torque curves for that engine, i would start there. A 12 valve Cummins makes peak torque with the least amount of fuel usage around 1600 rpm. I would presume a V8 to be slightly higher. So find that and calculate tire circumference, ring and pinion ratio, several...

Nick Disjunkt (JIM THE TRUCK Blog) had some trouble with rocks getting stuck in the DUALS, but i cannot find the exact page on his website. duel: a contest with deadly weapons arranged between two people in order to settle a point of honor. (i.e. nothing to do with tires :D) There is also...

Typically, you want at least 3" difference between the rotor diameter and the insde diameter of the wheel, which is called the barrel size. If you would like to use a 330mm brake rotor (13" diameter), then you would need at least a 16" wheel. Depending on back spacing, caliper size and shape and...

Video is all Italian dialogue; there is no video of the truck interior or being used off road.

For long term, vehicle based travel, the simple solution is to re-use the same water over and over again. This eliminates concerns with the source of your water, time and/or cost to find it, time to purify it, etc. Sink and shower basins drain into a holding tank, but instead of being held for...

Zarges cases?

I don't want to start a debate here in Steve's thread, but there are several high quality LED light companies building lights with ample output, distance, etc, for all types of vehicles and driving conditions.. In fact, Baja Designs makes a series specifically for night racing in the desert. Do...

Chris, I have been doing a bit of research on brake systems and components for a "non van" project and found that the multiple piston calipers are often not as good as having fewer, but larger pistons, with regard to stopping power, pedal feel, etc. I have the basics down, but when one gets...

Hi Dave, wish I had known you were near Atlanta, when you came to pick up the 2004, I would have bought you a :beer: and taken a quick tour. Will be interested to see how the different seats, suspensions, tires, etc. compare between the two models. If DMV in MT is anything like Atlanta, you...

If they just weren't So. Damn. Ugly. especially with the high top and the huge bumper :puke:

Having a pile of junk in the cab makes it much more difficult to tilt also. In the smaller trucks (NPR, Canter, etc) it is pretty easy for an average guy to tilt by himself. If the cab is full, like it was on a recent road trip, it is MUCH more difficult. On something larger like an FTR or Fuso...

I remember reading that when you were bulding it. Don't read the PBB anymore, but I will blow the dust off your thread for you. :D

Buggy pics and specs? You don't see too many moon buggies, now that everyone wants a bouncer or U4. Kind of reminds me of the lime green centipede from the mid 90's.

Those radius rods look rather beefy; is there much articulation in the joints? I know it's not going to rival a rock buggy, but off camber sections or a trail or ruts are much easier to conquer with a good suspension that keeps all four tires on the ground. I looked through their website and...

Much of the modern world runs on advertising, which is akin to sponsorship. Companies like MyFace, TweetBox and Googleplex make a huge amount of their revenue from ads, since they have no viable product or service to offer the world that anyone would actually pay for, that is. :D If Steve can...
