So I bought a trailer, and I'd like to put a small winch on said trailer for yarding broken rigs and such onto said trailer. My first idea was to simply throw a battery box inside the toolbox on the front tongue, and remember to charge the battery before needing it. However, that seems like a...

Working on a 89 302 bronco project right now, motor is the original fuel injected 5.0. Stock manifolds were both cracked, driver's side came off in two pieces. I have two different pairs of shorty headers I can pick from to replace them, but I'm seeing differences in the exhaust port size on...

Le sigh.... So I ended up with this 89 Bronco. It has a 77 F-150 axle under the front, coil springs and such. This axle, like other F-150 77-79 F-150 axles I've seen, has the classic horrible camber from the factory. Each side has about 1.5 degrees of positive camber. This is a stock axle...

96 powerstroke 7.3... it needs a new t-stat anyway, the one in there must be stuck open as it never gets more than slightly above "C" even when I drive it for long distances... http://www.dieselsite.com/dieselsite203thermostat.aspx Anyone (who's not trying to sell me one) have an opinion on...

So, my girlfriend has this 92 explorer that she needs to get rid of... problem is, the 4wd isn't working and in these parts at this time of year, that's gonna be a deal-breaker for a lot of people... so I told her I'd fix it so she could sell it. Problem is, I don't really know what I'm doing on...

Three of us headed over from Eastern WA this weekend to camp and wheel at Evans. Anyone else gonna be around wanna meet up with us and maybe show us around a little? We've got a map and I've been there before a long time ago, so we'll make it one way or the other but it's always fun to go with...

Where to start... yikes. So I have a full hydro setup pieced together from various stuff that seems to work great moving around the driveway and driving around some back roads. However, after taking it out wheeling for the first time, I've noticed a few issues and I'm hoping maybe some of you...

Getting ready to order some 5150's for the front of my wrangler. I have about 11" of total travel up front before bumpstopping it, so it looks like the 25-101874 or the 25-186277 are going to fit the bill.... both are 29.70" extended, and 17.78" collapsed. However, they appear to have two...

Finished my brakes tonight... Dual piston Ford D60 calipers up front, half-ton GM front calipers out back, '86 E-350 master cylinder on a stock '91 wrangler booster. The fronts run from one solid line down to the axle, then hard lines out and stock F-350 soft lines to each caliper. The rears...

Ok, so I finally got things all buttoned up on my Jeep and have been able to take it out and do some hot laps, very exciting. However, I'm having one major problem that it never did before I tore it all apart... once the thing warms up and the ECU goes into closed loop, it idles at 1500 rpm...

So I have a Parker Hydraguide steering valve model HGF16423 that I got from someone on here in a trade. According to Parker's catalog, this should be a 6.6 cubic inch valve, reversing (return to center, I assume?) with a power beyond port. I plan on running a 2x8 ram with a 1.125" or 1.25"...

Getting ready to figure out how to mount my single ended ram on my rig. Right now I have a clevis ended 2" bore x 8" stroke (1" rod dia) ram. I'm nervous about the clevis mount because any way I figure it, there will be stress on the mount(s) at full lock turns. The tierod moves on both x and...

Anybody have any pictures/ideas for some kind of recovery point on the front of an OBS Ford? I'm not down with wrapping straps around the axle for recovery. Doing a little research shows me that none of them came from the factory with front hooks, and it's generally the consensus that a front...

Hypothetical question... well not really. I've always been taught that bearing caps stay with the housing, and shouldn't ever be mixed and matched, and definitely should not be installed backwards or upside down. I have a HP Ford D44 housing that is missing the bearing caps. I'm going to...

So I got an older Homelite 330 for free from my dad. The story is the guy he got it for free from fiddled with the idle and high/low screws on the carb, then it wouldn't run after that. It's got good compression and spark, and I can get it to fire and run for a second or two with some starting...

I need some inspiration... post some pictures of your crossmember/belly pan/skid plate setup on your wrangler... I want no more than an inch hanging down below the frame, and am building my own setup and cutting a lot of the floor to make it fit. And there's 2-speed Atlas it will be...

Zukkev is your new tech moderator. As you might have noticed, the site has grown in leaps and bounds since it first started way back when. It's gotten to the point that we needed some additional help in the moderation of some areas, including the tech section. I and some others nominated Kevin...

91 XJ, 5 speed, 4.0 HO, etc etc. Pretty standard. It doesn't shut off when I turn the ignition off. All the accessories turn off (radio, fan blower, etc), but the engine stays running and fuel pump stays running of course. I have to put it in gear and dump the clutch to shut it down, and...

'96 7.3L Powerstroke. It has about 1 year old motorcraft batteries that the Ford dealership I bought it from put in. Has a 1 year old NAPA alternator that I put in myself right after buying the truck, since the old one went out on me in Goldbar. The battery light keeps coming on, kind of...
