Balljoint spacers up front, AAL for the rear springs, and a one inch body lift will be cheap, let you run 33's with minimal rubbing, and still keep it close to stock. The BJ spacers have an issue with stock rim backspacing and the tires will rub with 33x12.5. If you run 33x10.5 they usually...

My 91 got around 28 mpg, kind of. It had 31" MTs and stock gears with locking hubs, 22re and 5 speed. The big boost in mileage was from a k& N FIPK and a complete Downey exhaust. The kind of part is that I was figuring mpg without the odometer difference from the bigger tires, but even if I...

With your tire size and gearing it sounds about right, it should be gutless.

Ball joint spacers have nothing to do with ride, all they do is move the position of the wheel. Torsion bar adjustment will stiffen the ride but it also has more range, you can usually crank them until the A arm is hitting the bump stop. You may not get 3" of lift even doing both, BJ spacers...

I have ball joint spacers on my 93 with a 1" body lift and the 33's fit with a little hammering. Probably as cheap as any other solution.

It's tough to tell exactly what they use, there is not a lot of technical information on their site. There might be a way of using a separate regulator for battery charging and the included unit for the welder, but without seeing it it's just guessing. Also, the Odyssey batteries are another...

The issue with AGM batteries, like the Optima, is that they want different charge voltages than gels or flooded batteries. I don't have any specific experience with the PPW alternators, but Dale mentioned 16v+ charge voltages, and most of the sealed batteries won't tolerate that high a voltage...

I would bet that Dale fried his batteries with the very high voltages his system runs at, it's a common issue with the PPW gear. BTW you are quoting the wrong part of the FAQ on that site, they are actually pointing out that Optima batteries are NOT gel batteries and therefore don't suffer from...

I do understand the differences, and it has nothing to do with "training" a battery, there is no such thing in this style battery. These work fine with a real charging system, but an automotive alternator with an internal regulator is about the crappiest "system" you can have. I agree with you...

Gibby, what you want for your third battery is not an isolator, but a relay. I'm a DC electrician by trade and know what I'm talking about, unlike a lot of the folks giving advice on the interweb. PM or email me so I can get an idea of your whole system and I can get you a specific part number...

So maybe I should change the question. Would folks be interested in an air shock that can be adjusted while driving? In theory the controls could be set up to change ride height front to back and side to side.

For those of you running air shocks on your buggy/rig instead of coilovers, I'm guessing a big advantage is that you can set it up to adjust air pressure while you are driving. I'm wondering what folks are using for pressure controllers, is there a unit made specifically for this or are you...

I have a 5' long piece of 3" stainless tube that I need to put a couple of bends in. This is very similar to 3" exhaust pipe, although it is actually the chimney for a shop heater. Anyone here, preferably near Everett, have the equipment to do this?

I used to be a Readywelder dealer, and still have one of the units. I've used it a couple times on the trail, and a bunch in the garage for little stuff. They work fine, and are a good option for a trail tool. You can hook either 2 or 3 batteries together to bump up the voltage. You can also...

I hauled my old 4runner down to Moab a couple years ago on a single axle trailer. Probably heavier than your truck, but same idea. Even with surge brakes on the trailer it was really squirrely at highway speeds. Couple white knuckle moments in the mountains was enough for me, I'd pay the...

My truck came from the East Coast. If the bolts didn't shear off in the frame, they were most likely too rusty to keep and were thrown away. I'm amazed that skid still looked as good as it did.

Never mind on the beer then. Email or PM next time you know you will be in Everett, if the class is at ECC I'm only a couple blocks away.

You can have it if you need it, a couple beers in exchange would be nice but not necessary.

You still want a stock skidplate for that thing? Mine's laying in my driveway getting in the way.

If you can't get it, PM or Email me. I've got a set of the Craftsman sockets shown above and I'm in Everett.
