    Tire Siping Anyone?

    If you are hard Offroad on your tires, you can also lose chucks of tread easier. Or so I have heard. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New to me M1088

    Wow, that is a lot of overhang. I guess I am overhanging around the same, but I am extending my frame 36” then having a 24” rake angle. I thought about springs like Acela, but I think the frame flexes more than they could normally take. Right now I am evaluating the 4 point diamond style...

    What type of mount are you using for the subframe? 4 point, rail-in-rail with springs, ....? Any pictures of your design to share? I am researching that now. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tiger Tool Alternative

    That is the model Fuzzytoaster uses.... he does a lot of these trucks. I bought the same one and it works. Just be careful, the puller is strong and some yokes want to bend before they let go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Will (Superman) sells trucks in CT, you might have looked there as well. Can’t blame you to want to drive it home at that price. There are people on here smarter than me that can tell you how to get home. I think you definitely need someone reputable to make sure it can make it before you try...

    Rust reformer encapsulate... what are you folks using?

    How well do the rustoleum products at Home Depot work? The inside washer plates on the fuel tank brackets are flaky rust. The frame and body are good, just random bits that are munched up with rust. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Stuck winch roller

    So the pin is just a shoulder bolt without a head. Instead of a head, it has two flats on it. But the head is fully inset into the bracket, so there must be a strange spinner wrench or something is wrong. Inside the roller, instead of oilite bushing, they used needle bearings. Mine are all...

    Stuck winch roller

    I was able to get the roller apart. It is really strange how they are designed. Will post picture in next post. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Make sure you have you get lots of good pictures of the truck before it is loaded on the boat and before it is loaded on the truck. That way you know if/when it was damaged if something goes wrong. Then you can prove who is a fault when you claim insurance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Height of oil at PTO

    It is off of an A0 winch truck. We did a swap over to an A1. Now i need to figure out how to wire it. My plan is to either simulate the A1 setup, or make it more manual. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Height of oil at PTO

    Thank you for the explanation! We did the PTO swap yesterday. If you put the transmission manually into 1st, could it work then? Can you keep the RPMs up enough to run both? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    20 ft shipping container and M1078

    If you can, I suggest a purpose built box. Aside from already existing, I see no benefit. They are heavy, the walls are not flat, they are heavy, the doors don’t like any torsion, they are heavy, a lot of them are rust buckets, they are heavy. Your truck is not the right size for those boxes...

    Height of oil at PTO

    Wes, What prevents the stock winch from running when in gear? In my situation, I am swapping an A0 winch setup into an A1, so the wiring will be custom no matter what. I was thinking of wiring so that it cannot engage without being in Neutral, but then not preventing the transmission from...

    I am doing a swap over. If I end up later having cash to burn, I may consider doing something else. Thanks for the feedback though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ok, so no draining needed to swap a PTO on a truck that is turned off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
