Good. I'm really looking forward to buying ten or more from you.

So you always will need another body then. I usually end up being by myself and have to tow something with my tow bar. My friends lead real busy lives (one owns a gas station and another owns a home repair business. The rest live to far away) and I cannot depend on them all the time. So if I...

I was referring to the "towed" vehicle. Unless you have a spare driver for that truck you cannot get away with just using a "strap" to tow it. Even then if the "spare" driver isn't alert you can have a nasty accident. I was towing my buddies car to his house many years ago, and since we only had...

Or in like in your picture a wrecker !

Just so people didn't think I pulled those numbers from my A$$ I have uploaded a page from "Parker/Chelsea" . I don't know why the picture didn't come through, but if you click on the "attach" it will open it.

A good rule of thumb on all PTO's is 0.006" to 0.008" of lash. To little and when the gears get hot you start to bind things. Too much and you start to wear gears to much. I tend to stay at the 0.008" mark myself.

That does work great until you need to stop !

I had originally thought to put mine on the side like you did, but after trying to put the pieces up there to check it out I decided against it. I could barely lift them in place ! I'm only getting older, so I needed another option.

If anything where able to bend that tow-bar the way it is, then having a bent tow-bar would be the least of my worries ! I would be having a straight "person to person" talk with GOD at this point ! First off it would have to get through the bumpers, which are held together with 1/2" grade 8...

Yes stainless steel is allowed but it is very hard to work with unlike the "Cunifer" lines. I used stainless steel lines in my 1984 CUCV and it's been working fine these last 23 years.

I posted about them, but it was "Peashooter" who originally was selling them in his brake kits.

Totally agree with ZiggyO . I built my own and it is far superior to the "military" one. One switch and your good to go.

That is a nice place to carry it too ! I installed mine on my front bumper since it is too difficult for me to lift it into the bed anymore. I didn't want to add anymore weight up front, but I didn't have many options left to me.

Like I mentioned before, you should always replace the inner tube and flap wheN replacing a tire. The inner tube and the flap take a "set" against the tire. Meaning all the little irregularities of the tire get impressed into the tube and flap. So when you go and reinstall it on a different tire...

That looks like a lot of fun !

Your very welcome.

Yes, made in America through importing all parts from China !

Nice job !!! Looks almost factory ! [thumbzup]

Power steering fluid is basically Hydraulic fluid. Most all manufactures recommend staying under 200 degrees F. Anything over that and your breaking down the oil much faster then normal. Try adding a small oil cooler to the return line. They can lower your temperatures by as much as 20 degrees F...
