Finished up the front driveshaft U joint replacement. I've never done U joints before, it's more of a hassle than I thought it would be until the Tiger tool showed up. As far as I'm aware they are factory from 31 years ago and 340k miles. Getting...

Amazon, the link below is 'similar' to what I bought, but not exactly the same. What I bought specifically, doesn't come up if I click on my old order link. https://a.co/d/a0HeTfj There's many styles/types of similar clamps. Just choose the one...

That looks like it's been shifted between high and low range while the vehicle is moving at (any) speed... Not sure how else something like that happens. That's definitely not "normal wear and tear" no matter the use.

I have a powerpole connector in the cab that provides charge (small solar panel) direct to the main battery if the vehicle is parked for a few weeks. I have run + and - direct from the battery to that powerpole. So, the ground fuse is just been...

Depends on what you're running. Let's forget about lights, fridge, air, computers, charging ports, radios, cams, inverter, battery management system etc.--few of which anyone was running in the 90s. Let's just look at the winch. A Warn Zeon 12...

Max available amps @ given rpm. You're not actually seeing that unless the system demands it. Like a gallon of water with a siphon in it. You suck a pint a second, you get a pint; you suck fifty gallons a second, you get 50 gallons. Except this...

1. Added some heat wrap to my downpipe. The washer fluid was getting a little warm, and I’ve been meaning to do this since the day I got the exhaust done. Thick coating of very high temp clear paint under/in/on the wrap to make it nice and sticky...

Noticed an occasional drip on the driveway. Thought it was transmission fluid, so purchased a bunch of hose and clamps etc and prepared to replace all the soft lines. Dropped the front skid plate and did some more observation and found it was one...
