    To CTIS or not to CTIS

    I know next to nothing about the system but I was wondering pretty much the same ting myself; Why not just make it a manual system? However, from reading the various threads, it seems that the problems are far more than just the computer part of the system and from what you just said the "Manual...

    24v winch on a 12v vehicle

    Thanks! I did not know there was such an animal. After reading this I did some goggling and found some info on those switches. From the looks of it this would work but you don't get alternator charging when in 24v mode. This would be less than optimal for the very high amperage demands of...

    Help Stuck!! Trying to help came back to bite me!

    The "Professional way" The "Homeowner way" I think the "Homeowner way" might work for a MV size vehicle if you had 2 of them. Partial lift with one, switch to the other and go back and forth inflating in increments until you had max lift. In really soft goo like your currently stuck...

    Help Stuck!! Trying to help came back to bite me!

    You are quite right, he was lucky. You are also right it was overloaded. However, using 2 jacks, one on each side of the bumper is safe as long as you keep the load more or less balanced between them which is not really to difficult. FYI: Hi-Lift Jack Specifications Approximate weight: 30lbs...

    Help Stuck!! Trying to help came back to bite me!

    Prop Dr. An 18 wheeler size wrecker had problems pulling out an F-350 ? For Pete sake, I am thinking that "Riverside, CA" might be some kind of secret code for "A planet far far away with truck eating earth" I'm calling Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith to investigate. Just watch out for the mind...

    In the picture below…. What is that white camouflage covering material? It almost seems to have been poured into place or something. Looks like it is pretty effective at hiding trucks, cars, buildings, fire hydrants, slow moving old people… Is that some sort of top secret military...
