I did see a really odd "box" manufacturer vehicle the other day though. Mounted on a 2WD F series, 7.3 power stroke.
Slant side utility box that was extra tall and extra long as well. Shit ton of exterior compartments. Never seen anything like it before, I was looking for a brand on it, but there was nothing to indicate the builder origin.
If you want to talk about odd vehicles, I was followed east on Iliff Ave. from I-225 til I turned onto Wesley by the City of Aurora’s painted flat black MRAP, only thing missing was the Ma Deuce in the top turret.

What's the point of the tandem rear axle? Troops don't weigh that much and they aren't doing no knocks at the top of an off road trail. Is it just to have more tires in case of a flat?

That armor has to be heavy. (That ranks high on the list of dumbest statements I’ve posted lately). Maybe tandem for redundancy, so if a rear tire is blown, it can still limp away? Or maybe armor is just heavy.

An MRAP’s empty weight is 14 - 18 tons depending on configuration. I would assume that is a good enough reason for tandem duallys

Didn't think about the weight of the armor. Just the tax burden. OHHHHHHHH
Fentonite
05-12-2019, 00:24
Well, if your budget gives you X tax dollars to spend and you don’t spend them all, you get a budget cut next year. So you better add some tires to use up the tax dollars, maybe even go into the red so you get a bigger budget next year.

Um, don't forget the Colorado Coalfield War.
Brutal, what's your opinion of trailer anti-sway devices, and your experience with it?
Necessary for most heavy and long high sided trailers unless you're pulling with a dually.
I only used one behind my last 5th wheel to help reduce sway on my boat, but it's a given that they're needed for just about every RV due to the tall sides (sail).
As with everything else, there's a price/performance cost benefit to the different options.
You can haul a +30' bumper pull TT around with a Lincoln Town Car if you spend $$$ on a Hensley Arrow (WD+sway control).
Blue Ox and the Equalizer line are both good stuff and very popular with the RV crowd because they incorporate ant-sway into the WD setup.
The add on anti-sway friction bars are a PITA IMHO.
Oooo... F1 in Spain!
Circuit de Catalunya is one of the most boring (unpopular) circuit, but one of the most challenging circuits.

I also can't leave the truck immobile for extended periods of time, this truck is at work. I'm trying to do the best I can considering the circumstances.
From what I understand, you really have to know what you're doing to install gears in a differential. What about replacing the gears in a T-case? Is it the same thing where you have to adjust tension and stuff, or is it just take the old stuff out and bolt the new stuff in?
I can go to a 3:1 ratio T-case in my Amigo for $350 with just the gears, or $1,500 in an assembled T-case. Quite the difference.

The t-case flange had to be made anyways in order to do a CV rear shaft for my t-case. Also my t-case should be gone through as well due to it being 40 to 50 yrs old. I agree you really need to know wtf you're doing while assembling diffs. All that said, running 37 inch tires with 3:73 gears might not be in the ballpark for t-case gearing remedies in my t-case. I don't know.
Jim came out and saw what I had, I went with his recommendations. I feel bad leaving the guy hanging a bit, I'm better than that and it bothers me. I'm a bit under the gun regarding many things over the next two months alone. I really am trying to get all I can get done, as fast as I can with all the stuff going on.

I didn't know that about differentials until recently, so I'm curious if it's the same with T-case gears. I was all gung-hoe to just order the gears and install myself, but not if you're supposed to have expertise in order to do it.

Feeler gauges, torque wrenches, possibly specialty tools for holding or setting play. Most you should be able to rent at the local auto parts shop.
Plenty of room to set the t-case out w/out any disturbances. So with your work, where you're possibly going in to the busy season. Pay the xtra cash (if you can afford it) for a plug n play unit.
Or remove it now and wonder where that 8mm e clip went around 2 a.m, sometime in sept. You seem determined to tackle most any mechanical task, whether you're suited for it or not. Nothing like otj training, to further your wrenching skills .
But do you have to set tension in a t-case like you do in a diff? I really don't know. bolting on parts is bolting on parts. If I'm going to have to learn specialized skills, I'd rather it be welding so I can fab my own stuff. That's next by the way. Skid plate and rock sliders.

What does the web say when you search this topic?
WELDING? Thought you were starting the last year, like before we sold the house.
I was, but then I didn't. Since then I've had a few different people offer me the use of their welders, including some neighbors. So I can learn for way cheaper using their equipment than running out and buying one.
I haven't looked up the T-case gears yet. I thought I'd just ask here and save myself the time.

Good six feet long, probably more.
Unfortunately I couldn't get a measurement before she was on her way.

Seems like something a phone call would fix.
Upon further thought, I did reach out to them today about my delays. They were cool and understanding, yet that doesn't make me feel right about it. I was thankful they were cool.
You had to think about it again to decide to call? Wasn't that the main issue you were having with trying to get the light bar for the truck bent was that no one would call you back? Communication and setting expectations goes a long way to keep things on track. Bet you're glad you made the call.

I did have some success today getting one of the nerf bars bracketed and tacked. I also have to admit I somehow effed up the rear mating, I can save it, but damn it!!!
I couldn't finish welding it up because the bottle is damn near empty.

To me, there is a difference between a vendor that is waiting on YOU....vs. one of several that won't even call you back for the job in the first place.

Im sorry, perhaps I hadn't stated that as well as I could have. Our Diff shop has been waiting for me to get the new case in place and tacked up so they can finish the welds and install the gear set. Then I can put the diff back in the truck, and put the rest of it back together. They'll make the rear driveshaft as well.
Then I take the front out, disassemble all of it, and send that to them for gearing.....get it back and then put it all back together with new ball joints, bearings, hubs etc,...whatever it needs to make it right.
OtterbatHellcat
05-14-2019, 22:12
I didn't realize that Logan gives you the flag prior to the service, then they give it back to you afterwards.
I'm more interested in knowing if changing gears in a transfer case is the same level of difficulty as changing the gears on a diff. I did a little searching on that last night but it was late by the time I looked and I fell asleep.
OtterbatHellcat
05-14-2019, 22:20
Well, there are a lot of t case varieties. I imagine a chain driven limited choice case is easier than a multiple option gear only case.
I don't know.
As easy as it is to completely eff up a two gear diff, I would also think it's train wreck city to jump right into multiple gear t cases.

Yeah, I'm looking it up and while it doesn't sound exactly the same as setting up gears in a diff, it certainly doesn't sound like it's on the easy side. My T-case is a two speed with gears, no chain drive.

I was gonna say... experimenting with some automotive applications is great. Powertrain stuff can be very expensive just for the parts, and if ya do it wrong you could cause much more damage than just having someone with the knowledge and proper tools ahead of time do it for you. In a t case, some rebuild shops can't get it right...and sometimes differentials need case spreaders just to get the third member into the housing for installation.
I know you want to do it yourself brother, but the pressures and tolerances and velocities are critical in most situations so they must be set right or you're just going to tear a bunch of shit up.
Well that's why I was trying to look it up. I can do stuff, but even easy stuff takes me forever, so if it is something complicated where I'll need two experts to hold my hand the entire time, that's usually the point where I start shying away.

The ass shitty movie on the tv right now might, in some countries, would cause suicide rates to rise at drastically if the populous all watched it at the same time. I'm safe, but I am in pain. Like if a blind person had to "feel" someone getting raped.
I was trying to be sly and I told my 11 year-old, "Hey, I've got something for your Instagram. See that grate? Go look in the next one down the street."
Her: "Oh the skull? Yeah I saw that like two weeks ago."
