    Doghouse was missing the upper nipples twisters and the driver’s side clamp. Sourced a driver’s side mechanical clamp from one of my parts trucks. Did not want to use the military twist-to-secure garbage at top of the doghouse. Instead I did the following… Selected correct length width bolts...

    Not sure if the slow oil leak at the cooler is gone, but seems to be minuscule at best.

    Shiny!!! New heater valve installed and Zip tied closed. Next to find my slow a/c leak. I will pull vacuum and see what I see. Might just be a shrader valve. Might be a hose or connection. Might be compressor. I’m taking bets. New directional air bezels are in. With the heater core turned...

    Making use of the onboard 400 Amp generator

    400 amps x 24 V = 9600 watts. Just get a 220/110 sine wave power inverter and you’re golden.

    Paintless Pinstriping Pictures

    This thread is only for those of us who offroad. No parade duty. No trailer queens. No picture perfect paint jobs. No poser shots. Just naturally paintless pinstriped rigs. I’ll get her started with the new scratches to my purpose built Aluminum doors. They are built to get abused by...

    Half shaft undone BUT stuck in place. Half shaft E-brake is annoying me. First cotter pin decided to fight. Then the E-brake pin was rusted into the cable end. Now the retainer ring holding the outer E-brake “tube” is stuck. Time to stop for the night and lick my wounds. Tomorrow will be...

    Genius question of the day. Identify positive and negative battery cables for jump-starting.

    If the battery box cover has it, my vehicle did not come with the battery box cover and I needed to purchase one aftermarket that I do not believe has the markings. can someone take a picture of their battery box cover diagrams for me? I would really really appreciate it. Please take a high def...

    Genius question of the day. Identify positive and negative battery cables for jump-starting.

    Pulled the old 100lb batteries without first taking a picture. That was months ago. So how does this genius now identify 24v positive and negative for purposes of checking electrics and possibly jump starting. Can I even do that? aua
