GLTHFJ60's latest activity

I thought about what you said when I decided to use that spare tire carrier. When I read your comment this morning, I said to myself that it was probably best that I mountains sucker on the rear bumper. By the way, I appreciate your input and...

Big thanks to Shaun @angerhater for offering to help and Kurt @ Neslrac for hosting and helping get this winch installed before Logan’s Run. Kurt did win this winch for me so it was only right to make him put it on. This has been the last...

A handful of us went to Frisco Campground last November. The weather was perfect and the campground was relatively empty. Doing it again this year. Loop D is in a little hole, well protected by trees and dunes. If you think you want to go, grab...

I have also been distracted with an addition I have going on my garage. Buddy left his dump trailer here so I could clean up a little.

Pull the plywood off, straighten door and add extra supports in it. reinstall plywood. I had my beefed up that way to get car in and out.

Fusion can absolutely do FEA. FEA for a trailer ramp seems a little excessive, but it can :lol: Can you just quickly zap some 2x10’s or 2x12’s for the tires to drive over into it for this trip? Maybe while the door is forced straighter and...

FEA? Are the ramp designs that you are considering indeterminant? Are you concerned with fatigue life due to weight restrictions and the number of loading cycles? .... At work, we used CATIA to design and solid model every part of the...

For the cars yeah. Moonshine, maybe. It's not a short climb to get in. This is a multipurpose trailer!

Help me design a new ramp door and I will! You have software that'll do FEA? I can draw it in fusion, but I want to test it digitally before I do.

Try harder!

Do an inspection of the lines at least. Despite the new parts you've put on recently, if the compressor s*** itself and put material into the lines, putting a new compressor on won't fix all the issues. I'd say flush the system at a minimum...

Yeah at this point I've replaced the condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, and drier(2x), in the past few months. And every O-ring. Replaced the high pressure discharge hose in high school with an oem Toyota one. I'd bought the denso...

Just replace the whole thing man, compressor with clutch. Even if you use a cheap unit from rock auto, it'll work for a few years. It would be best if you replaced the expansion valve/orifice tube and flush as well, but do it. I put a whole kit...

Not sure I'm gonna make it yet. Hopeful, but not sure. Reason: the ramp door isn't gonna last another moonshine trip. I can hardly get it closed now because of how curved it has become. Im not confident I can get it rebuilt in time for fall...

Looking forward to seeing this again, at Fall Crawl!

Great turn out last night. I believe we had about 12 or 13 people show up. Thanks for joining @Sargy and @DirtehHippeh. I'll see most of you at Logan's Run in a few weeks. I will be out of country in October, but the meeting is still on.

you are right, the SF axle is alot bigger where is see's shear and torsion forces, so especially off-road where the axle see's impact's/large shear forces the FF could definably be stronger. It wouldn't be to hard to calculate lol. For me...

You may have noticed in the last post the FF rear axle. I swapped the semi float out when I did the regear with hj61 FF axle!

I’ll be there

New to the area. See you all tomorrow.

Meeting is tomorrow

Every winch I own runs 75-80% of max....less potential problems when it sideloads, and better pulling power. Extensions are easy to pack and re-wrap, plus they can double as a replacement line. I carry one 50' and one 30' extension, more useful...

I finally got some time to start taking what I need off that 80 series. We pulled the complete front axle off and it is indeed what I was hoping for : fitted with electric lockers ! PERFECT !!!!!🥳 As you can see, it is very dirty. I will...
