    Trail Gear 3-link. Options?

    Coincidentally, both lower links that came with this truck have a nice frown to them. I wonder if its more not stout enough material rather than geometry. Also seems that is the kit comes with links already welded, then the geometry is pretty much fixed by the manufacture. Especially if the...

    Trail Gear 3-link. Options?

    True, linked it would not be a "Formula Toyota" class anymore.... but since that really doesn't exist much it doesn't bother me, and this things has already been bastardized enough to probably not fit the rules anymore. I picked this because I always liked the shape and it was a good deal to...

    Trail Gear 3-link. Options?

    Trail Gear 3-link. Opinions? Ok, my f-toy project I'm working on had a 3-link if the front in its last configuration. It came with some of the parts, but the links are bent and the housing is missing a bunch of parts. Originally I was going to trash it and sell off what I could thinking it...

    Drive shaft shortening.

    Definitely not cheap. Called them to see about re-tubing a shaft. While granted they were local, and could do it in pretty much a day, the price they quoted me over the phone, using my old junk, was more than I could order a completely new shaft, with new spicer joints installed, and have it...

    4x4 endurance racing in WA?

    YES Agreed. The last events that were put on by that guy that came up from Oregon (spacing on his name, it was like Bo or something) were the best. Cheap to enter, fun to do and low key, run what you brung. He did it for like two years then vanished. Is anything even happening at...

    Rrc 2018

    Is it just me or has the hub-bub about this been kind of low key? Maybe I don't do FB right but when I do look over there I really don't see any chatter, excitement or even promotion of it. Other than the initial posts, there has been pretty much nothing here. I don't know about other boards...

    Rrc 2018

    HAHA I know that one too well. I looked at the facebook drama, and really only seemed like on person was on their high horse about the team thing. But o-well. King of the Hammers started as a bunch of friends getting together and having some fun, no look at it, for better or worse. And I...

    Rrc 2018

    So Karl, why the change in format? Seemed a little last-minute too. Kind of liked the 2-rig team style last year had. Shook thing up a little and better for the competitors who like to drive and not just be spotter. Kind of mixed things up a little with 'challenge' options and even...

    Reiter Rock Crawling Competition

    An S-ton of pics just got posted/linked/whatever to the Reiter Rock Crawl FB page. I know, its FB, but lucky for me my wife has and account so I don't have to. We had a BLAST, easy, but challenging courses, especially for a bunch of Hack drivers and cobbled together rigs :redneck: Props to...

    Superduty Alternator charging at 20V

    Battery isolator took a crap. Lost the front charging circuit and aperently on this model truck with this isolator, you run a switched leg to a 4th terminal in the isolator and it somehow tells the alternator to charge, and it must have been messed up and was telling the alter to pump up the...

    Superduty Alternator charging at 20V

    Also, I reread what I ordinary typed. I need the truck Tuesday night, as it tomorrow, so I need to get this fixed asap.

    Superduty Alternator charging at 20V

    Went to work tonight and dug into it a little more. Reinstalled the new/tested alternator and Completely eliminated the battery isolator from the system. Even connected the original cable from the alt to the batt they had left connected at the batt end but just taped up at the alt end...

    Superduty Alternator charging at 20V

    2005 F550, 6.0 diesel. "New" truck to me. Died on me first time using it, batteries went flat. Had 10V at the batteries. Figured bad alternator so I swapped it out. Still no charge. Traced the wiring to the battery isolator (has auxsilery battery's). It appears I lost one side of the isolator...

    Dana 44 8 bolt outers

    I've probably got most all the parts squirled. If you got a line on a free 10-bolt, grab it, gets you knuckles, stubs and spindles. Then all you need is wheel hubs and brake backing plates. Those I know I have a set.

    Dana 44 8 bolt outers

    Like choppy said, what 5-bolt outers do you have and that will depend on what parts can mix/match, but your pretty safe with a knuckles-out replacement. If you have the Ford outers with the 5-bolt spindle, I'm might be interested in them when you take them off..... Long time no hear stranger...

    To auto or not to auto

    Sticks are fun, autos are SOO much nicer. When I do wheel, I miss my stick for the easy days crawling around on the open trails, but sure do love the auto for the rocks and more technical stuff... and hill-climbs when you didn't pick the right gear at the bottom..

    Diesel Injector Cleaner

    Which Stanadyne? They have (5) different 'Diesel Fuel Additives'". I'm guessing the "Lubricity Formula"

    Diesel Injector Cleaner

    That's what I was suspecting. I suspect possibly the fuel pressure regulator as well (or it has a more specific name), I remember the last time I it looked at the readings we "weird", not necessarily bad, but out of 'normal'. Any serious damage that can occur to other parts continuing to run...
