That's not Lyme, that's Alpha-gal Syndrome (AGS).

Just in case our resident Warn expert hasn't seen this - paging Mr. @Blackjack ...

Cool accomplishment! Twenty-four hours on a bike is a challenge. Ice riding is my all-time favorite motorcycling. It's actually the most consistent traction compared to both dirt and asphalt. It looks like he used concrete anchor screws from the inside out. We used Kold Kutter screws from...

When I read Irun's post, I interpret it differently than you: Isn't he saying that he's already done what you're suggesting?

🤷‍♂️

Like I said, "It depends on what 'best' means to you." I have no kids, so my best is different than yours. :)

It depends on what "best" means to you, as usual. Here's my summary: Baofeng - cheap, programmable (but cumbersome), unlocked (but technically - and arguably - illegal because they don't meet FCC Part 95E rules), dirty transmissions in some radios (bleeding on other frequencies). I have two...

I remember that from your "Does anyone else get tired of dealing with a company's crap?" thread awhile back. You have to be a special kind of idiot to look at at a product that's asymmetric and go, "we should make that prettier..." without also following up with, "...but, wait, maybe there's...

Cop out. Good practice these days! Silver linings are always nice! Bingo!

I've been a DT customer for nearly 20 years, and have bought literally tons of tires from them. In that time, they've twice cross-threaded lug nuts. Both times, I went back, they said, "yup, our bad" and sent me down the road to a shop they had a contract with to fix them. Of course, in your...

Ask, and you shall receive. Just got this in an email, and it's the biggest discount I've seen (they must be feeling all the people leaving): (Note: I don't know why it says "Do Not Disturb On" there.)

I hear it has tread delamination issues... :sneaky:

Shouldn’t it be upside down? I mean, you are from “down unda,” after all… :ROFLMAO:

If you read the whole thread, you'll see that it was an exercise in how not to build something. That platform was an example, not something that was built by Mr. Blaine

Well, if it touched the bottom of your oven, it actually was a welding event. It's got 240VAC going through it, and the bottom of the oven is grounded, so it would have been a short to ground. Did it hum/hiss/pop and spark?

Well, the resistance of copper wire rises about .2% for every 1°F, so if there's a 100°F temperature change, the resistance goes up 20%. Since current equals voltage divided by resistance, a 20% increase in resistance would result in 17% drop in output current. Assuming you mean what...

It looks like they have a 200A and a 270A version, and either of them would be a big help during and after winching...

I looked at higher-output alternators but settled on the 270A because none were big enough to supply the 623A max current for the M8274 (newest model with the bigger motor). There were downsides to going bigger than 270A, but other than cost, I don't recall what those were anymore.

Keep in mind how a DC motor works. It's basically a constant-power device (requires a certain amount of power to put out a certain torque), and as such, it will draw proportionally more current when voltage drops. I know from the research I did for my M8274 install, that Warn's current ratings...

If you start with alternator output and work back to the crank, this can be calculated as long as you know two things: 1) units conversion from electrical power to engine power and 2) related system efficiencies. The first is a simple multiplication factor. Electrical power is measured in...
