    Advice on making a 5 ton highway safe

I do have a WI title, so when they get this mess fixed it wont be all that hard to get plates...I hope. I...

    M109A3 - Combat Camper Build

    Optima's DO work great in practically everything, and being gel cell will hold the acid inside much better than wet cells. That said However, if they are over charged, they will vent just like any other battery. (it just takes a bit more voltage to do it) Better safe than sorry. Please vent and...

    Optima battery tray/mount fabrication

    Optima's Optima's are incredible batteries and put out a LOT of OMPHHH even when cold.... really cold...really really cold! I had one on my old ford 460 motor and it would crank it over at neg.40 with no problems. I'm sure TWO Optima's will do just fine in a lil duece for cold starts. Now to...

    Sand dunes....

    Yes! For mud and snow you want tall and skinny to dig down and bite for traction. For sand you want as much surface area or contact patch as you can get. 1400's are much better that a set of duallys. 1600's are better yet! As low as you can safely run them!

    Sand dunes....

    Getting stuck out in the desert... Ah yes, the dreaded SAND stuck...... the NDT's are not great in the sand, but it can be done if your careful. MY advice to anyone going duning in a 6x6 is to disengage the front axle completely! 1991 (the month escapes me... as it all blurred together) we were...

    5 ton cold start pump info

    Does anyone make a prelube kit or are they available aftermarket? I've thought of just building one but haven't found a suitable pump that'll work with cold oil AND run on 24v. Anyone have a lead on one?
