I've been running a Vevor heater mounted in a pelican case for a couple of years now. Probably the single best cold weather investment I've made. The biggest down side to the Chinese heaters is the control. The heaters themselves seem to be made on the same assembly line and I've only seen one...

DC Power needs to drop their prices. Tucson reflects todays pricing. The shorter belt is because they run a smaller pulley. I'm sure they (DC) run's a smaller pulley but the oem belt probably still works. If their not running a smaller pulley, their power band will be higher then Tucson. FYI...

Alternator RPM is 3-4 times higher then engine. The design you want will say 6 phase and or hairpin. I tried to find a quick link you a power chart but was unsuccessful. The nice thing is, it looks like the pricing has dropped considerably. I was looking at a 250 amp mechman and it stated 150...

I saw those with carburetors and early fuel injection. Drive by wire made that go away. There's a JDM kit I can buy for my FJ80. Its a pull knob mounted in the dash with the cable attached to the throttle pedal. Looks easy to build. Your alternator will put out peak power around 1800 rpm. "If"...

Run em. Don't go over 1.5 and enjoy. Follow proper torque procedures. I've run them, I have friends who still run them, some of which drive pretty hard core. The only issues have been caused by the install. I'm also talking about an actual bolt on spacer not shim type spacers. I could sit down...

Wow. I guess this is what you get on the internet. Clueless people commenting. I know, everyone has a right to opinion. The issue with what the guys did in the first post is that it causes a ripple effect. Look up broken window syndrome. Is this real? YES it is. But only people who have been...

Lansky Sharpener I went to this after many years of stone sharpening. I absolutely love it.

I agree on everyone's advice for tubing thickness. What the video didn't mention was the stress on the bumper to frame mounts. The issue is when your on washboard road's. The leverage is focused on the frame mounts. Quite a few aftermarket bumpers bolt on one side of the frame. I would suggest...

I removed my entire rant because I cant yell at people who have no knowledge. Get out there and get involved in keeping these places open. Don't criticize unless you've stood in front of a board of people who are trying to get an area shut down for lesser "crime". If your not willing to do that...

Benchmade folder. I have no need for a fixed blade normally. If I did it would be my Esee-3

I will agree and disagree with the bee thing. I will agree that it works but, if you have enough bees in your desert area to be a bother, your not far from their hive. Spring time is when I see the most bees but their more interested in flowers. "if" I had the occasional bee fly through just to...

The two we had never made it off the driveway. Both were cars.

OMG did that spark some memories. Still laughing ( I know its not funny but......)

Yes We also need to teach our kids critical thinking and work on imagination. Leggo's use to give you a box of bricks with a picture. The child had to figure it out. Now you get detailed instructions. People say its fine like that. No more imagination or critical thinking. It was too hard. Its...

I have this one. Its about 4 years old. works great. about the same as my old gas powered with the same chain size.

Cool snow pic. Looks like your already geared enough

What was cool about that time frame was getting to go to the factory and drive their "test course". At that time I was hard core rock crawling so the course was a bit Ehhh. The other people there were really impressed. I looked at it as a cool thing I got to go to.

Why do you think so few were produced? Not really sure. We all had the impression they didn't want to produce civilian vehicles (H1). I say this because of the difficulty in getting warranty parts. It wasn't unusual to have a vehicle wait 6+ months for a trim part. And that only 6 were sold. I...

They only produced 281 second gen H1 Alpha's. Not sure what that's going to do to the cost and availability. We had a Hummer franchise at my shop and I did some work on one of the prototypes before they were produced. The Duromax was a bit of a squeeze in there. From what i remember, the first...
