    Rapco paint is no longer Gillespie?

    No they are much better than the standard nozzle. These Montana caps are the choice of graffiti artists everywhere. (Not kidding about that, I saw them featured in a film about train taggers)

    Rapco paint is no longer Gillespie?

    I bought an assorted pack of the Montana nozzles on Amazon. They definitely work better. But they need to be viewed as single use. I found once the paint dried in them from a prior application they did not work as well

    Who Done Went And Did This?

    At least it wasn't a loose hub nut.

    Yes that's planned already.

    Best place to tap 24 volt in engine bay

    Putting in a 24V compressor which will be mounted near the windshield washer tank. Also a storage tank somewhere, location TBD. This will be for airing up after off roading. Thinking it through I'd like to tap some 24V power within the engine bay. The compressor draws up to 22 - 24 amps at...

    BLACK RHINO WHEELS ALTERNATIVE OR KNOCK OFFS

    Congrats on your HMMWV purchase. Which model did you get? As to your query, GT Cepek are the only 17" rim that matches the factory offset on the HMMWV. They are a bit pricier than the rest but super nice, I run them on both my trucks...

    Now I’m scared. Fake N3135 regulators???

    Another seller in Kuwait. It sounds like these are surplus. The good news is they are using different pics...

    Can Wrangler MT be changed without disassembling 2 piece wheel?

    I switched my truck to 17" civilian GT Cepek rims, and it was then with great pleasure that I surplused the run flat compressor that came in the 57K2067 tool kit.

    Highway Cruising Speed

    Both of my 6.5T/4 trucks can cruise pretty comfortably around 65 MPH @ 2200-300 RPM on level roads. Luckily the climb over the pass to get out of town is a 50 MPH zone so I don't need to push the engine too hard on the 6.5 miles of 7% grade. I do feel like an old grandma sometimes on I-70 in...

    M1151/1152/1165 12v - Where is it?

    Hi SoCalMarine There should be a 12 volt output on your 200 amp Niehoff. That's the best place to grab 12v power. (Although not sure what you intend when you say "powering reverse shift on shifter.) And I left that ground in place when I switched my 400A to 200A also, it proved useful later...
