    New Mexico to Ohio again

    I am driving from Las Cruces to Ohio again. I did the same trip four years ago. Work sent me back a year later and I bought another deuce and later a 1008. They have been sitting for a few years, but now they are headed home. I made it to Elk City, Oklahoma today. So far all is well. I...

    I used two 6.5 ounce balancing bead packs per front tire. It helps a lot.

    Las Cruces, NM to Huron, OH 79934 44839

    Im leaving tomorrow. Repacking the bearings took too long to get everything else done. I have to make an alcohol snifter, so my brakes don't freeze too. Im going 70 to Amarillo, then 40 to 44, to 70, and 75. If anyone is along that route let me know.

    Las Cruces, NM to Huron, OH 79934 44839

    Voy a tratar. I drove 100 miles today on a parts run, then adjusted the brakes. One seal was bad one not so good. We are repacking all 4 to be safe. The truck runs just under 60 mph around 2300 rpms, which it seems to like. I ran 2400 but it gets loud and hot. I did the same trip 4 years...

    Las Cruces, NM to Huron, OH 79934 44839

    I tried to balance the front tires today. The truck shop wouldn't touch them. I got some beads, but haven't had it on the road yet. I will be packing the rear bearings tomorrow.

    Scrapping rear axles

    I say save it. When I throw parts away, I soon need them. Also if I talked to myself here as much as I did offline I would have 12k post too.

    waste thinner for fuel?

    Before I moved from El Paso to Ohio, I dumped all my waste hydrocarbons in my tank. I made the trip, but I would use the thinners to cut a heavy oil. My dad owns a body shop and when I was a kid I had to clean all the bondo off the paddles with thinner. It made my hands crack. I am...

    M1028 dana 60 front axle

    I have a limited slip in my Bronco and Open front in my Toyota. Both have true lockers in the rear. Having an open or limited slip front helps prevent breakage. If you have only one front tire with traction it really stresses the internals. If I can't make an obsticle on the first time...

    12v winch on 24v

    Here are some pics of trees I loaded on my trailer today. I am using a Warn 9k winch with an Interstate deep cycle battery. The battery was running low on the last log. I know I need a new cable. It started to unravel today.

    12v winch on 24v

    I run a Warn 9000 lb winch with a 12v deep cycle battery. You will have no trouble loading a broken down vehicle on a trailer before the battery dies. I use mine when I cut down trees. After pulling a few downed trees to the clearing, it is time for a recharge.
