That's fair, but the whole equation changes when you decrease the weight of the load by 1/3rd- Black Rhino Armory 17s - 37lbs ea, Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 37x12.5r17 78lbs ea Total 115lbs per point HMMWV Wheels...

Spacers are a whole other can of worms, bit I do agree. The difference in offset is approximately 1 inch going from stock 8/12/24 bolts to a -25 offset. That makes a difference, but it’s not huge. Nevertheless, I’m sure it makes a difference over a long enough period of time. Then again, if...

When was the last time those were serviced? Were they the single tab version? More importantly - Did the offset have anything to do with this failure? Does an increased arm cause increased stress on the spindle or just on the bearings? Go ahead, Doc, show your work.

I'm aware of them, I'm also aware of their cost. I get the sense, given their inflated price, that they're preying on people's fear of them failing. I'm a risk adverse person, but I still look at them and think, that's ridiculous. If it were that much of an issue, they would have completely...

I realize that the nature of the portal hubs changes things, but that’s only a couple of centimeters, about an inch, over stock. Guys have been doing 4-6 inches over stock for years, the only casualty being quicker bearing failure (and bad taste). Are these hubs really that sensitive to lever...

Does anyone have a walkthrough for doing the shims? I need to do mine, looks like getting to the nuts behind the control arm is going to suck.

What does it do for the transmission?

Link or model/manufacturer?

Were the PVC inserts always $135/ea.? I'm glad they're back up and running, but holy cow, that's steep.

I had a few Triumph motorcycles back in the day that were "Roulette Green", looks like your color is pretty close. I love it.

Very cool build! My kids loved that picture of the boys on the tire lift!

That's fair, but I thought the 200a was substantially more stout than the 60a. The dual voltage aspect of the 200a is a benefit as well. I'm no expert, though.

Attach a wire from your handle to the pin on a flashbang, wait for the fun. That's all I have to offer. Good luck!

If you "lock" your soft doors/soft top, the thief will just use a knife. I've made it a habit to never lock the doors on my convertibles for this exact reason. Losing a set of tow straps isn't worth my replacing a $2,500 top.

I've had boot failure on other vehicles before, I would guess it took months before it was noticed (Chicago winter on a low vehicle, I'm not hanging out underneath there just for fun). Even after spotting it, it took several more weeks before I got around to replacing the shaft/boot, no...

Tag for interest, I have little to add aside from the fact that you're not alone. My M1123 had 20 miles at IROAN, had 60 miles on odometer when I received it, everything on it looked basically brand new. The only issue I ran into that needed repair was a leaking heater core likely due to...

While I agree, economies of scale are real. Jeep sold 200,000 Wranglers in 2020 alone, this means that by the end of a model run CJ/YJ/TJ/JK/LJ/etc. there are likely millions of potential customers for each one of those, maybe more due to product overlap. AMG has made something like 350,000...

I am not an expert, nor am I giving you advice, but if I were to be transporting my c303 those distances, I'd have zero problem doing it on that UHaul trailer with proper tiedowns/rigging, assuming I have a decent tow vehicle. Those weights/dimensions aren't exactly gargantuan. My only concern...

I moved a M1123 (A2 truck), no top, doors, troop seats, A/C, etc. totally stripped down/empty with a 2014 RAM 1500 Quadcab 5.7 4x4. It was very tight on the trailer - absolutely no room front/back or side/side, totally maxed out, but it drove fine, didn't move an inch during transport. I can...

RentalMax and Sunbelt both carry them. What vehicle are you attempting to transport? I moved my HMMWV about 200 miles on a Uhaul Trailer when I bought it.
