Thanks again or your input

Haha! the only problem I have currently is I have nothing there. No panhard, no watts. I'm not necessarily worried about the handling being sketchy but if I have to build from scratch, I may as well make the best linkage possible. After all I have the means to do so. If I had an existing...

Repurposing tie rod ends gives me a simple, easy and readily available part to service. They would be the same parts in my front steering so 2 different spare parts will service all of that. My other options might be heims instead but I would say that finding tie rod ends in your average town is...

Who did that?

3/8" plate steel differential cover $150 Silverado wheel bearing assembly $100 1 ton tie rod ends. $6 each x 4 The rest is simple basic fabrication work

I know I have seen this on at least one truck here. Any input? I've been thinking of one for my build using off the shelf tie rod ends and a wheel hub assembly for a Chevy truck as the pivot. Minimal fabrication on my part and cheap replacement parts.

I'm not mad, I am calling you out. Disprove all the reasons it might work, or stop shooting them ALL down. Describing why you think someone's theory isn't correct, does not disprove anything. You have to provide real world data or your argument is just a theory too. So basically, just saying NO...

At this point you're saying a well known method doesn't work. I don't think you have enough experience to get it. Otherwise you would say "yeah! That definitely works but I can't explain it"

That isn't the case. How about you go out and scientifically disprove us all instead of attempting to shoot down every explanation.

1100 at each wheel plus whatever it takes to move the truck. The numbers may be imperfect but he's still correct. The brakes equalize the force needed to turn the wheels so they both turn. IMO The extra heat from the spinning wheel helps the brakes on that side grab even better.

Awesome!

Ok cool. I hadn't realized that. Just assumed they were still engine driven. I wonder how hard it would be to repurpose a Prius battery bank for use in a camper?

The ac compressor on those cars is electric?

What are you quick disconnecting out of curiosity?

I second the paco pad. They will make you whatever shape and thickness you want and as a bonus they can double as a raft or floating mattress for lounging in a lake or lazy river. I had them make me a 4" thick queen size pad for my camper. I took it out on the lake last summer and it's like a...

My truck has a ball joint Dana 60 in the front. No adjustment there but I can shim the spring pads to rotate the axle backwards and increase caster or I can lengthen the spring shackles and achieve the same but it will change ride height and not change the caster much. I want a little more lift...

Thanks again!

I hate those things but they do work

To answer E more specifically..... It sounds like you are envisioning an actual T junction. What you actually do is cut the main wire, slide on a piece of heat shrink, strips both ends then crimp them back together along with another leg of wire to feed each light then slide the shrink wrap...
