The outback guy was driving on dirt roads actually- its just that the rocks are quite jagged down under. when you say "cans", do you mean the one that shoot the foamy goo into the tire? How do they work? I understand they leave a mess in your rim- I'd much rather have to clean one up that spend...

I saw a survival show a few weeks ago about some guy in the outback with his daughter on a fishing trip. He had a Rover or something and carried three spare, really 3! Well it would not be a survival story without blowing tires like they were birthday candles, so one after another, he runs out...

Merkwork, I looked for commercial carriers and found none that were reasonable. I just kept an eye on the wrecking yard and I found one on a Pathfinder. The bumper was real heavy duty and this aftermarket carrier has a pin that sinks into the bumper, then latches on the driver side- 2 points...

hndrsonj, OK, so I read the OP audit trail. You and many others have followed this fellow's postings apparently closer than I. Things seem to be what they are and I have to agree, in point, that he comes off as somewhat entitled to a fast answer because he has a business agenda. You get some...

We have all been reminded to look at the manuals. There is no need to be telling people they are an annoyance, or remind them that your time is valuable like that. We all come to the forums to learn stuff, sometimes we need help in a hurry, sometimes we don't know where the info in the manual is...

The videos from the manufacturer show them putting the tires over the testing grounds; but they seem to travel S-L-O-W. I can even imagine hitting a speed bump at Office Depot very fast without doing some damage. Soft graded dirt is one thing; running at top speed over unpaved, wash board...

Ummm AIR. I wouldn't mind having some in my Blazer; but there seems to be plenty to worry about under there now. Sounds like a job for an AC shop- it's probably cheaper this time of year to have them check the system for you. If everything runs and charges the way it is set up now, and you can...

My dash was hosed too. I ordered a cheap dash mat to cover it up until I could find a suitable replacement at the wrecking yard. It took about ten days by mail. The same day it got here, I found a nice dash from this newly wrecked suburban at the Pick-n-Pull. I had been to the Auto paint shop to...

Yeah, you don't want those oil pans falling into the wrong hands. :cookoo:

OK, I'm going with 63d-RSC. It seems they eventually changed the name of the outfit from RSC to RRC; but the last paint they put on it read RSC, so I'll go with that. 4" stenciling on the bumper marking, 1" on TP. What about the "Lower window before opening tailgate" stencil size?

So are the bases obsolete altogether? If so are their repair options or like mistaken1 and wallew said with the spin-on? Just one kit, or are there some better than others?

Found the latest on these tire/wheels the military is working (collaborating) on. Look cool; but they seem like the balance will go immediately when the pick up mud?

Right on. Thanks. Is there a TM that identifies how large each of the markings around the vehicle are to be?

Does anyone know what the right side bumper marking means: left side right side <<<<<Does this look like it is complete? 63-RSC HQ-101 I think I have discovered the possible meaning of the left side markings: 63rd Regional Support...

Doghead, thanks, I went to the -20 manual and they did not seem to cover this the same way. I was trying to replace the solenoid without opening the motor case. I did not think the answer was to pull the pivot screw at the shift lever. The one in the -34 manual shows, I think, the direct drive...

I read some threads here from members that have replaced the solenoid on their 28MT starters- they hassled getting it out; but didn't say how hey got it back in- onto the little fork in the starter housing. Someone who knows please post a solution. I was able to rotate and pull the old one out...

sgt lutz, You are getting sleepy... sleepy. You are getting the keys and placing them in an envelope. You are sooo relaxed... you're addressing the envelope to me along with a map to your place. This feels good. You like feeling good. Giving things away makes you feel wonderful, wonderful and...

glcaines, yep, I actually did hear a noise before I took the old Direct Drive Starter out. It was a kind of sizzling bacon sound. Just once when I turned the key. I have not hear it since; but then again the new starter in not running right yet either- I have a new solenoid I am putting on...

And, does leaving the key switched to the ON position- as if listening to the radio flat burn up the gowplugs. I let my daughter take my truck to school while hers was down and didn't think to warn her not to do that.

I pulled mine from the top of the dash after removing the top pad. The other day I was under the dash at the fuse block and saw that it would probably be easier to pull the wire harness that feeds the Instrument Cluster from that angle. Get a headlamp on and lay on your back out of the driver's...
