I have read where about 80% of the heat transfer is convective and 20% is radiated. Black radiates best but anything you put on the fins will tend to insulate and reduce convection. The radiator shops I have used always paint them gloss black...
Well, still no answer and no hinges. Has been a year essentially. I am not sure if anyone has heard from Matthew but I would not recommend that anyone order quick hinges at this point. If anyone has heard anything recently, I would love to...
Thanks, I am fine with being patient and hope he returns safely, it looks like a great product so I am looking forward to them. I did not post anything on the bad vendor section, I have read enough from satisfied customers. It would be good...
Take it off mud and do FB or something. That way you can avoid all the unneeded/unwelcomed responses that you’re already aware of .
No need to kick a man while he is down.
enjoyed an evening exploring between Star and Emmett Idaho. Found a spot to set up and shoot some ground squirrels. Snapped this beauty of a pic from one of the hill tops
Back in the 1990’s I had this yellow ‘77 fj40. That one lit the fire that is currently burning in my ‘76 today. Couldn’t get them out of my head. We found this great clip amongst my late grandpa’s VHS home movies.
Drilled and set 2 riv-nuts.
Took everything back apart and cut off the cross bar and the top mesh
Ground off the spot welds and metal flush with the support and see the twist
Had to open the hole up for the drain valve to clear...
Worked on getting the assembly. The transmission jack was not rolling the assembly so it took longer then it should have. The water valve for the heater will be replaced.
Cleared the firewall of tubing or other items that are not needed...
This is true, but in this case the vehicle has been lifted and the distance between the frame and axle was changed. Imo, the adjustment should be made with the relay rod.
Good point, I'm running 4" skyjackers and made the adjustment to the drag link. I guess the best option would be to adjust both to maximize thread engagement on both rods (relay & draglink)
Ok, I had to try. Full disclosure, I have a Holley Sniper and I just drove it 2 hours ago. Please disregard my evening cocktail attire. Not the crocs, those are normal.
Because you raised the height between the frame and frt axle, you need to lengthen the relay rod. It's the link that goes from the center arm to the passenger tie rod. You're just centering your steering wheel. Your toe should not have changed.
I got a loaner from “Living in the Past”. The mold turn out great but the pour had bubbles. Still the lens very usable and I plan on using it. Need to perfect the mixture. I need a vacuum pot to remove the bubbles. Work in progress.
Money shot
I put the bolt on the mount on the passenger side opposite of what the factory orientation was. This bolt had caught a rock before and was bent, less opportunity to catch a rock with just the head showing and not a 1/2” of bolt...
