Just for you "non-American" voltage guys, it's 120 and 240. Go ahead stick your multimeter in the outlet and tell me what it says. I should read something around 120.

Actually there is a range it can be, 120 is generally what the norm is set to, and this voltage can vary depending on where you are at in the system. And then there will be a voltage drop depending on the length of the secondary run, type/size of secondary wire and the amount of current being drawn. The code allows for a 5% voltage drop. If you get further out on some electrical systems the normal voltage will be down in the 110v range. Once you get down into the 90v range you will start to notice it. So 110/220 120/240 are the same thing as far as your equipment goes. Then you can get into the 120/208 but that is for another day $\':22:\'$ ', 1, 0, 3062, 2, NULL, NULL, NULL), (43604, '54-1048143128', 1, 1, '24.237.11.136', 1055028595, 0, 'I assume you all have jumper cables, so they are not included in the cost. Neither is a battery charger, since if you don't have one...what are you doing here?

The last thing you need is a free 5HP lawn mower engine from a grage sale, or if you're a real alaskan....from one of the many in your back yard.

I used electric motors because they're quieter and I frequently run alternators up to 500A. The two 5HP motors in the movie will turn up to 350A @ 25v. Plus in the wintertime, I string the leads out the door and leave the welder inside.

Anyway, Napa part #7122 is $29.99 + $5 core charge, or you can modify an existing 10SI. Nice thing about 7122, is that it requires no mods.

This is bottom of the line, more like below-the-line. By spending $150, you can buy a 22SI that pumps out 255A and can burn any 1/8" rod.

How long do yout think that 22si would last?

Kind of like a car. If you drive it 55MPH on cement roads everywyere, it will probably get 400,000miles on it.

If you drive it 95MPH over washboard roads and crash it into walls, then it will most likely die much sooner.

Little alternators pushed 180% beyond their limits die quickly, and big ones that are witin their range normally don't. A 22SI alternator shouldn't die at all as long as you stay in the 120-140A range @ 100% duty cycle (welding 10 out of 10 minutes). Welding past 150A is perfectly fine as long as you do it in moderation. Once copper gets too hot its resistance can change.

How about that 30something alternator. how much does it cost?

33SI is $254. I think napa wanted $700 something
22SI is $145. I think napa wanted ~$500. I did a lot of searching before I found that little Florida outfit. The best prices I had on the internet earlier was from a warehouse in maine. Their prices were $350 and $170.

I will have some figures on the 22SI tonight. The 33SI makes 150A @ 24v @ 3600RPM. Too much for 3/32 6013, just enough for 1/8 6013, burnt in 1/8 7018 in a nice flat bead, but not quite enough for 5/32 7014.

There is NO reason to use a HF start on a plasma torch, since its much easier to use lift-arc starting. In order to plasma cut, you'd need much higher voltages too. A CC source capable of ~40A @ 100vDC closed circuit. Even at 7000RPM, the poor little 10DN was only up to ~87v. Now 3 10DNs in series just might be able to do it, and I've always wanted to try it, but haven't found the time. Its much easeir just to use step-up transformers and do it the right way.\n\n

You're lucky, the Toy's have that cable locker, Jeeps don't... The Ox is the only one I know of that does make one for the Jeep style axles. As for the ARB, well I just don't think an even field, some saying good and others saying bad, is very inviting. Maybe in the lighter toy axles they do really well, I don't know. But for the heavier axles with larger than 35's I've heard of a lot of problems. Besides this locker is a simpler, and stronger, design; and another option to the same old thing (ARB)... That's all...

Well I'm not that lucky. Toyota USA didn't bother to give us the option of lockers in my Land Cruiser in the States, just overseas. So, I had to import them.

How are Toy axle lighter? I'm not trying to start a Jeep vs Toyota debate, but they are 30 spline and very similar, at least the inners, to D44. Or wear you referring to D60's? In that case yes they are heavier duty.

The killeraxle locker is air actuated too, how is this different than the ARB? What problems have you read/hear about ARB? I always hear/read about air line problems, not with the actual locker.\n\n

I went to Jim's Muffler.

Is having a muffler a requirement for I/M? I may end up having to run a glasspack if so. Any other small profile muffler out in the market??

I don't know about vehicle years, but I IM'ed my travelall with nothing but a header and about 5 feet of pipe. One muffler broke off, so I pulled it out... The guy actually got on his knees and shoved the pickup hose over my poor rusty stub.

Dress sharp, clean up the rig, and wear a smile. Worked for me every time. The only time I bought glass packs was when I thought I needed them to IM my 1977 plow scout. I wouldn't spend money on glass packs anymore, no mufflers really is less annoying on the highway anyway. Helps with knowing what the engine is doing, like when the 20W-50 gets warm. :D

I did experiment with a "watter muffler". That involves a (tall)bucket of water, baffles in the water, and a P trap. It sounds GREAT at idle and at full RPM sounds like a quiet motor boat. You change the tune by changing the size of the immersed pipe and the watter level for the most part changes the volume. Only bad thing, is that if I built one for my car...someone would borrow it and fill it up with gasoline or something. World's craziest flame thrower has just been invented on the New Seward Highway.

And another bad thing is that offroad you spill all of your water, but that didn't bother a bored 10th grader without a job. ;)

I can't resist... Here is a second edition watter muffler to keep the neighbors happy.

Tighten the stock ckutch up. Or put a screw in it and lock it solid. You can tighten the stock clutch up by removing the outer end of the bi-metallic spring and tightening it to the notch 180 degrees from the one it's in. Works on most Jeep fan clutches. Engages them sooner. Keeps them from slipping.

Installing a lower temp thermostat can wreak havoc on an EFI system that is designed to run hotter than 180 degrees. Poor mileage and crappy emissions will be a result. Dan

Thanks. I'll try that for sure.

Anyway the Jeep got up to 240* by the time I got to the top of the hill. I let it stay running and it came back down to 210* in 2-3 minutes.

I'm trying to troubleshoot this. The antifreeze was changed last year, it's 50/50 mix. No leaks or anything. Engine has about 65k on it.

I have a few ideas. I had removed the charcoal canister and I connected both the lines going in and out of the can to each other. After thinking about it, that probably wasn't a smart thing to do. I'm going to put the charcoal canister back in.

Also I'm going to take the intake apart and clean that up. It's been idling a bit rough and has stalled a few times at a light, etc.

Any other ideas? It seems that it's a result of the warmer temps we have been having lately. I may end up buying a code reader so I can see if the computer has any error codes. No check engine light yet though.\n\n

RE adj. short lowers...nothing to land on behind the tire until the center skid.
RK adj. upper front arms...plenty strong for the 5.5" lift I run.
RK Tri-Link rear...reasons are stated above but also it offers much more travel than a TB setup and keeps the axle center during motion...unlike a TB setup.

Shocks are meant to do one thing, dampen the oscillation of the suspension. If internal bumpstops were such a good idea, then the auto builders would save the money of engineers to design and laborers to install bumpstops on their vehicles.

Some things should remain in the "box".

I disagree. I think that shock technology is on the cusp of evelotion just like everything else in our sport. I think that shocks designed to handle it and mounts beefy enough to handle it are a fine way to bumpstop a suspension......

The fact that you do not think so is fine, but very limited in thought. Why do you need to remain in the box fucking around with limit straps, bump stops and shocks when one thing could do them all? Suspension and spring technology have evolved past most shock technology. Why not let it catch up some?

She shut up...we arrived at the creek...everyone went fishing and I comenced to tearing the suspension out. Long story short...I was able (after 2 hours) to manufacture a race out of a sectioned role of electrical tape and a flat washer holing it in the joint...obviously the joint had no side to side movement but was able to do a 0-40mph run through some moguls...anger management...without any banging or or breakage!

I did not read the JU thread. I detest that place and could not really care less about anything on it other than some of the cool pictures...

The RK joint seems to be cheaply made. The preload washer is WAY to thin. As BJ said the bolt is way to small as well. To me is just looks like the sacrifices a bunch of quality to be able to produce a product at a slightly lower cost than anyone else.

I actually recommended the RK tri to Nate 3 and 3/8th. I would not recommend the kit now to anyone. The joints are just junk.

Charlie. My recomendation is this. Do not get the hiem replacement. I would try and get some $$ and a replacement joint for it. Then I would go out and buy two Rubicon Express joints and retrofit them in there. I am not a big hiem fan in our climate for the exact same reasons Brook Listed.

When $$ permits I will be getting 3 RE joints for the link...it will require buttwelding some thread stock to them to make them work. I don`t like the idea of using a butt weld in that configuration but then again I will have a handfull of those stock style joints to throw in if the welds fail.

I should have an answer later today on the warranty.

Like I said on the trail...it would need to be customized to become SOLID for our AK environment.

Is this something that can be fixed with out switching to a heim? Heims can fail the same way that your bushing did, they cannot hold up to much side load, if any. Proper mounting will allow a heim to hold up as well as anyother joint, but they are not rebuildable, and do not provide any shock absorbsion like the poly encased bushings you have will.

Why would you want a shock that is travel impared by putting something in the shock for the piston to run into?

Has anyone been able to find a true cutaway of these shocks? I wonder if the internal bumpstop might cause more damage to the piston, since it will not disperse the energy equaly. If it reduces the impact point you increase the pressure on a smaller area. This obviously causes a larger load to be placed on a smaller area. Leaving one to think it would stress and crack or wear quicker. Inquiring minds want to know.

The old style (conventional snap rings)

The difference is the new ones give a full 360 degrees of contact with
double windings, the old ones do not have a full 360 degrees of contact
surface. And the materials are slightly different.

This is RK's answer to the very question of how robust their clips are...

Your alternator would boil that battery, no doubt. Its normal to get rid of some water, but we're talking a lot of water right now. Your battery would get hot, but its unlikely you'd notice if it was in an engine compartment.

If you quick charge it, you will loose amperage capacity. Alternators are designed to recover a starting battery, and a starting battery is designed to provide huge surge currents for very short periods of time.

Try to get a 1A trickel charger. If its a deep cycle battery, then the fastest you should ever charge it is 1/10th its amperage capacity in amp/hours. You might not get this battery back.

Optima makes it, you can order em through desert rat or i think even 4wheelparts does em.

OK, here we go, I found where I have strayed from the path, and gone retarded. I have just spent the last hour calling around (previous owner included). It is not made by Optima, it is made by a company called Ultima Alternators, there a marine brand and street brand alternator. I called Optima to get there contact info and was informed that (Optima/Ultima/4trax and a couple others) are all owned by the same damn company that I have already forgotton the name of. According to Jim at the Optima tech line, all products by these companys are compatible. I asked again about charging a battery with one of there alternators, he was able to lay it out in a form that I was able to understand.

If the alternator is having TOO many amps pulled from it too melt a battery, it has a safety switch that will shut it off if you will until the engine is turned off then restarted. I asked how many amps it would produce at a "dead" start on a battery, and it was 14.5. If I can find the link to Ultima again I will be sure to post it.

Feel free to give shit, I am tottaly expecting it.

This lift kit came with add-a-leafs... so I'm thinking that I'm just going to leave the leafs here and take the shackles.

I dont buy a 75 horsepower increase by just bolting on the MPI kit to the 258. And as for knowing people that have had problems I know several people including a one Dave A. that loves his Howell kit and has had nothing but, good performance and reliability out of it. And I thought the MPI kit was 2200? That would mean you are actually saving about a grand. Money that could be well spent in other areas of the vehicle. Nothing wrong with going with the Howell kit it gives you the IM ability and the same off camber sucess as any other EFI motor.

4. Why add the Mopar Fuel Injection Kit?

Four Reasons:
1. Performance
2. Efficiency
3. Reliability
4. Serviceability

Performance - The MPI kit is estimated to improve horsepower from 120 to 180. You'll be able to accelerate on the freeway and actually pass another car uphill. Maintain speed while pulling a trailer up the mountain. Even smoke the tires.

Efficiency - Improved Idle. No stalling on steep angles while your 4-wheelin'. And improve your gas mileage by 3 to 5 miles per gallon. That will end up helping paying for the upgrade some day. You could save $200-400 a year in gas depending on how much you drive. My Jeep gets 12.5 mpg on a good day with the BBD and stock head.

Reliability - Upgrade your emission control system and engine electronics to the 90's, instead of the emission add-ons to an engine that was basically developed in 1970 and made to comply. AND!!!! You get rid of the Junk BBD Carburetor. Need I say more.

Serviceability - Your wife is driving to the next state and gets in trouble; a Chrysler Dealer can service it.

4.0L Cylinder Head

This performance upgrade should add about 40 HP more. This is only what I’ve been told. I don’t know anyone who has put it on a dyno to find out. You should also see an increase in gas mileage. One person that I E-mailed about a year ago said he went from 13 to 17 MPG. This will pay for it’s self-one day.

Stock 96+ Cherokees rear driveshafts vibrate to a certain extent. Add any lift and you only compound the problem. Surprisingly enough, the shorter 96+ style output really makes a difference on how the driveshaft performs.
I am still not confident in the Anchorage Six States driveline balancer. I think that it is too inaccurate for the CV shafts we need for XJs. Perhaps it was the guys building the shafts?

Badco WTF? Northern has had all the shafts done at the Anchorage location and I think I would be the first to hear from Ed or TC if they have had much or any touble with the shafts we have sent out. Not Cool to bash! I will let all know now "I do NOT build drive lines & would never take that job ever!"

ZJ- Thanks man.... I wasn't too sure so I just pulled it anyway. I wasn't able to get anything off the axle though. It was a built snf locked d30 and they are keeping it.

yep thats about true.

I still like mine though. Lighter and gives more room. Between the york, duel blue tops and the mobi weld, I'm running out'a room fast.

Is *Wilderness* Stealing Our Heritage?
by Del Albright, BlueRibbon Ambassador

Being a full time land use/access advocate, I hear a lot of opinions about the management of public lands, many of them spot on; some of them a bit out there. But this one really made me step back and think. Is the designation of Wilderness areas stealing our heritage?

The original Wilderness Act of 1964 was not bad legislation. In fact, most organized recreation groups supported the idea of setting aside pristine, *untouched* landscapes and leaving them non-accessible by motors and mountain bikes. We need places untouched by man, unmarked by the scars of development.

President Teddy Roosevelt started the first official beginning of "preserving" scenic wonders on a national level; but have we now gone too far?

I have heard accounts of official agency personnel setting fire to historical buildings and mining camps, just because these treasures all of a sudden were behind some line created on a map that said they were now in Wilderness areas and needed to be removed so there would be no trace of man.
I have personally seen the results of agency *rehabilitation* of mining camps, historical buildings, and historic roads -- rehabilitation being the removal thereof. I have interviewed youth work crews hiking into new Wilderness areas, under orders from the park agency personnel, with the job of *removing any trace of man.* Doubly unfortunate is that these same areas harbored hundreds of miles of roads and historic mining camps that were thought to be of value just the year before a new Wilderness designation.

I have lost track of the number of cabins and homesteads I have personally visited that are no longer accessible by vehicle -- and many of which were *obliterated.* In so many cases, Wilderness designation has meant historical destruction.

One park ranger type official tried to tell me that in his area, buildings just fall down from lack of maintenance and attention, once they are in Wilderness areas. I understood that, but he didn't have an answer for me when I asked him how the material (wood and artifacts) all disappeared also, and how the area where the building stood now has planted vegetation (rehabilitation?) and no sign of occupation or use.

How about the fact that we're not supposed to use motors or mechanized equipment to fight wildfires in some Wilderness areas? In the 1964 Wilderness areas, this is not a big deal. Here we're talking high country -- high mountains, pristine places where there are no subdivisions nearby. But new Wilderness can be in your back yard today. The old guidelines of *no trace of mankind; pristine; untouched* are meaningless in today's application of Wilderness. So when a large conflagration starts tearing up the countryside (in Wilderness), we're not supposed to drive fire engines into the brush and timbered areas where the fire is burning. We're not supposed to crank up chainsaws to fight the fire. We're not supposed to fly helicopters into or around the Wilderness area as that constitutes using motorized equipment.

Helicopters routinely fly into a world famous Wilderness area, named after a world famous environmentalist, to service man-made bathrooms (contact me if you'd like to read the documentation on this). It's OK to fly and land a copter into Wilderness to service a bathroom, but we can't fight fire with one?

You will find plenty of folks who will justify flying a helicopter into one Wilderness area to service a bathroom, just as you will find plenty of folks who would march in protest against flying helicopters to fight fire in an Oregon Wilderness area. Does this seem arbitrary and capricious to you?

In reality, even the 1964 Wilderness Act left room for maneuvering and in the opinion of some folks, manipulation. Existing and previous uses can be accommodated in today’s Wilderness areas, depending on the slant of the current management. So yes, we can leave old historic mining buildings in one Wilderness, and tear them down in another.

At some point, we have to ask ourselves the real purpose behind new Wilderness areas. Who is getting something out of this? Because when they steal my heritage, take down the homestead that maybe your family once lived in, try to remove roads, trails and all traces of our historical presence, it just begs the question of who is benefiting
Further, you have to ask, who is the goose and who is the gander here? Do we manage Wilderness based on convenience? Do we manage Wilderness based on one ranger's bias? What gives?

Allow me to add to add one last twist; our country has millions of acres of Wilderness Study Areas (WSA) that are under consideration for Wilderness designation. Some WSA's have been around for over ten years. Some have already been converted to Wilderness. Few have gone away. I urge you to keep a careful eye on WSA's in your area. It matters not that a WSA has roads. It matters not that your great grand parents might have had a homestead there. I suggest you talk to your elected representatives about WSA's in your area. They are prime targets for future Wilderness designations.

I believe that people like Teddy Roosevelt, most of our US Congress folks, and many of our country's leaders were well-intentioned in the creation of some of our parks, preserves and 1964 Wilderness areas. But somewhere along the way, *special interest groups* and a few people in powerful positions, have twisted the usage constraints of our public lands into something ugly.

It is time to speak out against this outrage. It is time to stand up for our heritage. It is time to hold accountable those that promote their own agenda under the guise of saving our heritage while tearing down the remnants of our past. It's your time. Get connected with the process and your elected officials, and be sure that Wilderness is where it belongs. Don't sit by while someone steals your heritage or endangers the safety of your home.

The longer the intake runner (in general) the better the low end torque. A couple of examples. Take a look at any modern fuel injected engine. The intake runners are folded over the top of them selves to make them the desired length. A 5.0 mustang intake has very long runners from the factory to give it the torque.

As you go up in horsepower and rpm the runners get shorter. Just pick up an Edelbrock catalog and look at their Performer (idle to 5500) Performer RPM ( 1500 to 6500) and their Victor series (race) manifolds. The runners get shorter as the HP potential goes up. You will sacrifice the torque down low to get that high rpm power though. One more example. Look at the Taurus SHO. Wild looking intake sytem right? It has 2 sets of intake runners. Long ones for lower rpms, and then a butterfly opens the short ones and walla you have your high rpm power too.

So in short, long runners = low rpm power (torque) and short runners equal high rpm power.

Edit- thats also why dual plane manifolds work better on most general street cars and trucks with a carb.than single plane manifolds.\n\n

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is revising its comprehensive conservation plan for the Kenai National Wildlife refuge.

If you have interests you wish to have considered you will need to attend these preliminary scoping meetings.

This is your opportunity to participate in the initial drafting phase before recommendations are made and the plan is adopted.

The plan will set guidance for how the refuge should be managed over the next 15 years.

Following is a schedule for two more upcoming open houses.

All are from 4 to 8 p.m.

• Feb. 17 at the SeaLife Center in Seward.

• Feb. 18 at the Fish and Wildlife Service Alaska Regional Office at 1011 E. Tudor Road in Anchorage.

For information, contact Rob Campellone in Anchorage at 786-3982 or Robin West, refuge manager, at 1-907-262-7021.

I drove to town, and spent two hours trying to troubleshoot the click when the key is turned. It's a '96 Explorer, 4.0 Auto

Symptoms:
Clicks when the key is turned to start. no multiple clicks, no turning over at all.
Works: exterior lights, interior lights, radio, dash lights, gagues
Doesn't work: starter, heater fan

Possible cause:
I just installed an auto-start Saturday. I tested it three times in the garage (On with remote, Off with brake pedal/hood/remote - no keys used). Julie drove into North Pole and back without stopping Saturday. Sunday she started it with the key, drove to Fairbanks. Turned it off with the key at JoAnns Fabric. Used remote start there, drove to Sam's and turned it off with the key. Upon leaving Sam's, the remote start just clicked. She didn't think anything of it, and tried the key. Same click.
I don't think it has a factory security system. It doesn't have keyless entry, and I didn't need to connect any additional wiring during the auto-start install.

Things I tried:
Starting it with the key
Starting it with the remote start
Inserting the key, turning to on, and using remote start
Jumper cables
Jumper cables connected for 30 min
Disconnected auto-start completely - just the connections at the module, didn't actually remove wire splicing
Probed all fuses with test light. Well, only the ones constant hot. Should have tried all fuses in all key positions
Probed starter ecitation wire. no 12V during crank
Switched around 3 relays at power point under hood
Cycled gearshift selector. Definately a different click when trying to start in D/R/1/2 vs. P/N

Today I plan to:
Check all fuses in all key positions
Try a second battery
Unlock driver's door with key (supposedly this will reset the factory security features (which I don't think I have)
Look for some "Security Key" under the steering column somewhere. supposedly this has worked loose on some explorers before
Disconnect all wires for auto-start. Examine splices
Find a way to jump starter/solenoid and get it home to the warm garage.

I got the Protools Bender. And to tell you the truth I like it Tons better than the JD2. The Dies are twice to three times the quality of the JD2 dies. It has a Degree wheel that is actually usable. It has set screws to properly hold the tubing while in the die, making one man operation actually possible. I am very happy with that purchase.

Just thought I would put my opion in here. Caster is more important than pinion angle at first. But what you are considering requires two thought processes. First, rotate the knuckles so that welding the coil mounts can achieve a good caster angle, yet still retain a decent pinion angle. Preferrably 1-2* down. Mocking up the axle would be awesome, but I know it is your DD. You can do some hypethetical measurements though. Set it next to the rig on jack stands and find the pinion angle you want, then find how much the knuckles need to be rotated to acheive this. Rotating knuckles is not rocket science, just very time consuming. Reference lines, accurate angle measurements and reference points will make this job way easier.

Like he said. It would be nice to mock it up and go from that point. If you need a hand with the axle let me know or BADCO also has done this and may be able to help also.', 1, 0, 3560, 2, NULL, NULL, NULL), (47082, '70-1037038076', 1, 1, '24.237.15.75', 1076998467, 0, 'PM me his number and I'll give him a call and see if he still wants them.

Off road hasn't been much of a problem iether, if you gear it right. If you keep stock axles, 4.88 is the tallest you can go, but your not going to run tires that need taller gears with that axle.

I got a cell planned. That is the reason it is so ugly. But I gotta teach myself to Tig or Aluminum weld first cuz you know me...I am gonna make it if I can.

Oh and as far as safety....it is just as safe. It used the stock filler with the flapper that didn't spill a drop when I was upside down last time.

When I do the cell I will actually drop it into the cradle that the stock one is sitting in/on. And I will only be using a 15-20 gallon tank instead of this big ol 25.

I am still not confident in the Anchorage Six States driveline balancer. I think that it is too inaccurate for the CV shafts we need for XJs. Perhaps it was the guys building the shafts?

A driveshaft done right, should not need to be balanced. Weights are just there to compenstae for a shaft that is less than true. Makes sense for the factory to do it that way, they build thousands a day. When you are paying to have a single shaft done for a specific application, you should be able to expect it to be done right.

I have never had a shaft done by Six States and this is not aimed at them at all. A couple of my customers were in and out of Youngs Gears 3 times AFTER they had shafts custom made for them. Ongoing vibration problems. Didn't need a dial indicator to see the problem You could watch them wobble with your bare eye when you spun them on the rig. In each case I finally convinced them that I could solve their problem if they would just listen to me.

I took the shafts to Tim Jones (Jones Driveline out in Willow). He doesn't have much of an education, and he would be a bit out of place at the PAC, but the man can make a driveshaft like no one else I have ever met. He has made about 4 dozen for me. Never used a weight. One vibrated a tiny bit. He straightened it with a little selective heating and cooling.
I talked him into bolting both of these shafts into his balancer (which he doesn't use normally because... He makes his shafts straight...) We could not get it up to full speed even before they tried to dance right out. It was hilarious.
He redid them both. No weights, no vibration and happy customers.

Like Curtis mentions, don't immediately assume that it is your shaft causing the vibration. Unequal ujoint angle is a common cause. Over extended slip joints will wear quickly and then cause vibration too. Worn pinion bearings or output bearings at the T/C also. And don't forget the simple answer of worn ujoints. Even overly steep ujoint angles, matched or not can do it. A double carden joint at one end and an ujoint that is too angled at the other will vibrate.', 1, 0, 3556, 1, NULL, NULL, NULL), (46969, '102-1033711393', 1, 1, '209.193.39.197', 1076966154, 0, 'No secret junkyards, just gotta ask around.....', 1, 0, 114, 2, NULL, NULL, NULL), (46970, '82-1076208302', 1, 1, '66.223.149.229', 1076966211, 0, 'is the 2.5 in a jeep weak or can it handle off roading? i'm looking at a 95 with the 2.5 and i worried it won't have enough power. does anyone have thoughts on this? $\':16:\'$ ', 1, 0, 3360, 1, NULL, NULL, NULL), (53490, '110-1031620020', 1, 1, '131.37.206.6', 1080287292, 0, 'Let's boycott them.

Body Lift and why I don't like them.-------
One to oneand half is fine. Great for fine tuning. Three inch body lifts put a lot more load on the mount (+30% more torque) After a while of heavy use this will in turn break frame mounts and where the mounts bolts to the body. It was not ment to carry that load.
Put the body lift on, just watch the mount points. Save the maoney to put a real lift on it down the road. Get out and wheel that thing this summer. Just keep in mind that if you start, it never stops ( there is the lift, then tires, bigger lift, axles, oh wait, bigger tires ect. ect. I'm joking here ok)

Do a search on google, I saw hundreds of hits for s-10 with bodylifts.

You have to remember that the Gas supply guys are not oriented towards 4x4 stuff. They sell gasses to people that need EXACT specifications, and offer bottled gas with an insurance policy to prove that their gas is exactly what the customer is looking for. CO2 is corrosive when compared to nitrogen, but a nitrogen bottle (Gas Form) would be dangerous for storage inside your vehicle, because it is compressed to several thousand psi. If the valve was to break off in an accident, it would probably kill you. C02 has to transform from a liquid to a gas so it takes a while for the bottle to discharge if you were to break the valve off. Not to mention its only a few hundred psi depending on temperature.

The story you got from the guys at the store was the same B.S. I got when I bought mine.

FYI I just bought another regulator on EBAY for 22 dollars.

The fittings for the regulator are 1/4" NPT where they thread into the regulator, the part the goes into the bottle depends on the bottle you buy. There are two different types IIRC. One is male and the other is Female. They are easily interchanged. You can buy a nitrogen regulator, or an oxygen regulator and swap out the fittings to match what ever bottle you end up with.

There are some advantages to Nitrogen. One being that it is very cheap. Another is that its volume is very resistant to changes with temperature. Also, its completely inert. The down side is that it would be very, very dangerous for our application.

CO2 is cool because you can use it anywere. Just like Firemedic said. I know guys that have used co2 to roof their cabins. With CO2 you can take it with you no matter what your driving.. so for guys like me who have 4 running rigs, one oba setup does it for all of them. Not to mention you can carry it along with you when your riding along with your friends if they dont have OBA. CO2 tanks are more reliable than air compressors since they have few moving parts.They take up less room overall if you have a compressor and even a small air tank. With CO2 you only need to carry about 3 feet of hose, making more room for other tools. If you have CO2 you wont be weighing your 4x4 down with every air tool in your garage. They can also be used to put out fires. CO2 does not rob HP from your already underpowered non-8 cylinder engines. $\':22:\'$

One advantage, and probably the most important one is that you can use CO2 to cool your drinks, and for your kegerator.

The thing measures 14"x6"x10", so there's no chance that's going in the engine bay. I'm going to make a mount that will hold an air tank and the compressor and have that in the back. That is, unless it's super loud (like Jet engine loud), but I highly doubt that.

What I am wondering is what size wiring I need to run from my battery to the back of the Jeep. The compressor will pull 60amps at 150PSI, but I will set it to 120. (maybe 50-55 amps??) They recomend 10ga. if the compressor is near the battery. I'm thinking perhaps 6 or 4 ga?\n\n

I don't know rates for new red or blue tops, but they must be different.

Why?!?

The blue marine starting battery they are talking about is the same 'core' battery as a Red Top, it just has the extra marine terminals (3/8ths studs?). The extra terminals make wiring in a winch or other high draw accessories easier.

The theory of two dissimiliar batteries not working together well makes sense to me, but I've never seen it be a problem in actual application. In fact I've seen the opposite. I mixed a Delco and an Everstart (don't ask) together for awhile. One went to sh*t, one was good, and I never knew until I pulled one of the batteries. The truck continued to start normally until I pulled out the good battery one day. Just my observations.

And to get back to the original post, yes I think Optima's kick ass. My POS chevy sat for a winter while I was at college one year, so something like 9 months, and the batteries (I think at that time it was a delco and optima mixed, BadCo?) had enough juice to crank the ole' 350 long enough to get fuel back in the carb and start the truck. We were both expecting to have to jump start the truck, but surprised we didn't have to.

Our goal is to be the best place in Alaska to get all of your Mechanix Wear items! We also want to get you, the Alaskan customer the best prices. How do we do this?
First... most of the gloves on hand are in black only, all other colors are availible but they have to be special ordered so you'll have to be patient.
Second...the gloves are already right here! No shipping to deal with! You may find a better price on the net, but figure out how many pairs you have to order to make the shipping and handling worth it, then come order your gloves from us.
Third...we are just starting out, so we don't have every item that Mechanix Wear makes already in stock...it would be a little overwhelming as you can imagine.
Fourth...we here at Bad-Ass Creations are regular people just like you, we fab, we wheel, we enjoy the great outdoors that Alaska has to offer, and we watch our wallets pretty closely so we can do more of the other three! lol. We are dedicated to bringing quality products to you for a reasonable price. $\':41:\'$

In addition to gloves, we do have some of the other popular items such as aprons, hats, knee pads, and some footwear. Please inquire if you would like to know more.
Following is a sample of the most popular gloves and prices.
For a limited time mention this add and receive an additional 5% discount on all orders of three pairs of gloves or more!!!

hey brentt, I don't recomend you use that plastic reg. I've seen the nice brass one blow apart in half use nitrogen bottle (approx 1000psi). any of the standard airline regulators are in no way ment to put up with much more than 200psi or so.

just looking afta' ya.

I do have a brass (welding stlye one) you can have if you need it.

aktinbender $\':24:\'$

I might take you up on that Gary...I will let you know. If this little bugger fails I will just have to use a bigger one.....Does you welding one have 1/4 npt input and output? That is what all my fittings are and man those little suckers add up in a hurry.

I did not do that regulator to be "cheap" as it was damn near the same price as the other one I had at first that is a "co2" regulator. I did it for size.

Seemed to hold fine all day yesterday.......I like the small size of it. It has a 300psi input so I am a bit skeptical, but there are reports of it handling the pressure just fine on co2 systems for over 2 years now on others systems. 700psi is the max tank pressure. I think average is around 500. It is not high pressure in the same sense at Nitrogen or scuba air.

As for cracking the window's can't.......they don't work....lol. But if you see the door come open every once and awhile while driving down the road you will know I am thinking of you LG. Not to mention that it does have a on and off knob and will be off while not needed.......

How often you figure your going to have to refill this thing? If your running arbs and filling tires with it.. Whats wrong with the ARB pump that you no longer want to use that?

Seems kinda pointless to remove the ARB pump and run them off a tank.

that ARB pump is fine. It is the Selenoids and switches that activate them that SUCK ASS.

I got rid of all that stuff. Two moving parts....the regulator and the toggle switch. No electric magnets, fuses, wires, relays or any of that shit.

You don't see the point of a lot of things Phildo....thats ok, your still funny. Oh and the fact that you can run Airtools off that is nice.

Chaz- the regulator will regulate the pressure to the ARB's and the toggle switch will supply the co2 to the ARB.\n\n

I don't really have a "Cooling" problem.

It goes up to about 215 or so, wich is a bit above the 210 standard for the 4.0.

Highway cooling is just fine and if I pop my hood that relieves enough to keep the temp in the normal range around town, so I am thinking that this is just the ticket.

It all started around September of 2002 when a few friends and myself went out to play on Church road. We were having a blast and while exiting a fairly nice mud hole I hear a noise and look down at the gauges to see my oil pressure gauge dropping to 0psi and the motor promptly shut down. This all happened in a matter of seconds with little to no time to react. I jump out and pop the hood to find my poor little motor with no oil filter and no oil left in the motor. Needless to say it was trashed. Great trip though being towed home by a rig with 32"s was a bit humbling. So that’s the story of how and why I tore into the motor. Now onto the rebuild.

Tony over at Cokers in Anchorage took care of the machining work for a fair price. I was very pleased with his work quality and have nothing but good things to say about his knowledge and customer service. I deal with him all the time working for Nye for head and flywheel work and was pleased to see him take care of my block and crank work with the same speed and precision as he always does.

For the parts I’ve gone through many different suppliers including Tony at F.A.T.S. who is absolutely amazing with the stuff he knows and lengths he’ll go to for you. Summit racing has been the supplier for most of the bigger items that have gone into this project.

Now how about some motor specs.

4.3L Chevy “Z” motor
Bored 0.030 over. Line bored and balanced rotating assembly
Keith Black signature series hypereutectic flat top 9.4:1 compression pistons.
Competition Cams supplied the 266HR camshaft with new roller lifters.
Edelbrock topped of the motor with their performance intake used in conjunction with a 1” throttle body spacer.
Edelbrock also took care of the water pump with their aluminum shorty reverse rotation performance pump.
Complete MSD ignition system including control, coil, distributor, and plug wires.
Dual remote mount oil filter setup from Perma-cool
N.W.O.R. Exhaust headers.
Black-Magic 3000cfm cooling fan

That’s enough babbling how about some pictures?

The electrac is built on solid technology as well. Basically it operates just like a tru-trac when not fully locked so for the street it is still drivable but when you need both wheels to spin you can lock it. I personally prefer the electric version over the air. Having said that you would not go wrong with a ARB either. I say for the cost, stay away from the OX, additional weight, and complexity in my opinion give a try to the electrac but DO THE RESEARCH before you buy! Buyer beware!

The part I'm still not sure about is this; if you use a selectable hubbed front axle you could lock out and isolate the spool if you put it in the front, thus being open unless you locked up. But to go with that when you did decide to use the 4x4 you'd be all wheel locked, good and bad things happen then.

ARB would be my next choice, because well it's selectable. But one draw back for me is that you don't know 100% that it's locked in. Plus it's damned spendy and way more complicated then a spool.

I havn't seen the Electrac but it sounds pretty nice. But what if you want power for your winch and you need to have it locked it? Thats power drained from your winch.

I looked into the OX locker for my front. But turns out they didn't make it for the TTB, because there is no removable diff cover. This looked to me like the best option for what I was looking for. Plus I heard they went outta business.

I honestly don't think the hiems are the way to go in steering, they move a whole lot and you're just transfering the stress to a bolt that isn't designed to do the job, perhaps as well as the regular tie-rod is...
