    Local Parts deal - Findlay - Wholesale

    Brett Long is a Master Mechanic at Findlay and he owns a nicely upgraded 1994 FZJ80. He's a regular and current "VICE PREZ" at NVTTORA. Ask for him if you take the truck there for service.

    Run Videos?

    Do you folks ever take videos of your club runs? It would be interesting to see them if you do and I think it would help attract more members to your club.

    Renting a 4x4

    I know there are several places that will rent you a Jeep. If you want a Toyota 4x4, you might try Findlay Toyota in Henderson. Not sure they can help, but I know they do rent vehicles, and several of their employees are active wheelers.

    Truck Mod Help

    Cool. Brett got some 2 awg cable from me a few months ago. The 1 awg cable I got recently comes in 12 ft lengths with factory installed terminal lugs.

    Hey Timmer, did you get the cable and terminal lugs you needed for the solenoid relocation? You didn't get back to me on NVTTORA. I still have 4 awg, 2 awg, 1 awg fine stranded automotive cable sitting around. I also recently got marine rated 6 awg tin plated extra fine stranded cable too.

    is there a good steel, scrap yard in Vegas?

    Did you see any aluminum tubing scrap pieces at Curtis? That is what I am looking for most of the time.

    is there a good steel, scrap yard in Vegas?

    I have been able to buy scraap metal for a good price at Silver Dollar Recycling on Losee Rd. The down side is you have to look through the piles yourself while dodging any heavy equipment that might be working on the piles at the time.

    which power cable brand for dual battery setup

    Regarding cables, look at the kind of cables Toyota uses in its vehicles. It isn't tinned, it isn't supper fine stranded with super fancy insulation. It is just ordinary automotive cable and it holds up just fine to all the vibration, moisture, extreme temperatures, automotive chemicals, road...

    Aluminum sliders?

    The UHMW would have to be bolted on, and I really don't know how many bolts it would take to make sure it stays put. I will have to use some educated guessing and trial and error to find out. I am worried about how plastics expand and contract more than metals during temperature changes. When...

    Aluminum sliders?

    Regarding the second question, larger outside dimensions is preferable to a thicker wall. So a 2 x 2 is much superior to a 1 x 1 even if the 1 x 1 has a wall twice as thick as the 2 x 2. There is an online beam deflection calculator here that you might find useful in deciding what is best for...

    Aluminum sliders?

    There are a couple of companies selling aluminum rock sliders out there. It appears they do not use a skin to protect the aluminum. Interesting... http://www.rockcrawler.com/features/newsshorts/04may/bigdaddy_bars_alum.asp http://www.quadratec.com/manufacture/Big+Daddy+Offroad/...

    Aluminum sliders?

    I just checked pricing for 1/4" thick titanium plate at onlinemetals.com and it was $5774 for a 36" x 48" piece. I could buy an FJ40 with sliders already installed for that kind of money. :eek:

    Thanks for that link. It is very encouraging.

    Aluminum sliders?

    I think a stainless skin on the bottom is an interesting idea, if the skin can be thin enough to preserve most of the weight savings of the aluminum above. I do have some 1/16" and 1/8" thick stainless steel sheets that I could use, but stainless is such a pain to work with compared to aluminum...

    Aluminum sliders?

    The UHMW PE is supposed to have high abrasion resistance and high impact resistance. It is used to line the inside of heavy dump trucks. I would think in that application it is exposed to thousands of pounds of pressure as well as sharp edges from rocks and other debris. Of course, plastics...
