Better off saving those lottery ticket dollars. I have been playing the lottery most of my adult life. I played every powerball drawing for a couple of years. Now it’s just a couple of times a year...
If you mean the new Warns, I bought mine at my local NAPA 4-5 years ago. They were also available on Amazon then. I haven’t looked recently.
I replaced an old set of Dualmatics with new Warns. Haven’t done any serious off roading with these but Warns I had on other vehicles never gave me any trouble.
KW also sells them:

Personally, I have never cared for nutserts. It may just be my experience with aluminum aircraft structures but I consider them unreliable. Even the ones with tabs don’t hold their position very long...
Just a thought… I have had batteries go bad in multimeters. The results can be rather interesting and unpredictable. The first one showed 250v on a nail in the siding of my house. It turned out the...
I thought I would post pictures of flux core vs. gas shielded wire feed welding. The welds in both pictures show the welder doesn’t really have a clue but they were both done with the same machine...
Sheetmetal brakes are handy. Back when I could afford to buy welders, I also bought a 4 foot box and pan brake with radial fingers and a shear from Mittler Brothers. Very nice tools and much more...
I have bought a lot from KW. I agree about them having good customer service although I get better technical support in this forum.
I screwed up years ago. I turned in my original brake master cylinder in to NAPA for a core. Got back a foreign piece of junk that didn’t quite fit the mount holes. It works but it has always...
The alloy of the stainless makes a huge difference. So does the cleanliness of the metal. I was practicing on stainless hose clamps before trying to tig weld a stainless exhaust. The exhaust broke...
All we had was a stick welder when I took high school shop. College introduced me to oxy for welding but I dropped the course. Not a wire feed welder in sight back there. I don’t even remember seeing...
I bought mine at NAPA around 2003. It sits folded up in the corner too much which is why the valve has gotten sticky. I have used it to lift a lot of things. I have even used it as a jack but I don’t...
I remembered a couple more pluses to tig. It is possible to weld without filler metal. I needed to repair a shop door latch by capping a 3/8” rod with a washer yesterday. I used the tig torch heat up...
Sounds like me last winter. I must have been sick half a dozen or more times. Last winter was the first time I had skipped the flu shot in probably 30 years. I didn’t have a choice in the military...
The check valve in my hoist has started sticking a little. It acts like there isn’t any oil in it but it starts working if I tap on the pump a little. I was thinking about cleaning valve but an...
I’m just a novice, self taught welder. Personally, I find flux core messy. More splatter and residue around the weld than when using solid wire with gas. It’s handy when the bottle is empty or you...
I like it!
I lived in Marysville for many years and had no idea I was that close to the trail until after I sold my ‘69 Bronco and was down to a small 2wd pickup and a street bike.
I second the usefulness of the trailer. I bought an 18’ dovetail for one purpose several years ago… to haul my CJ3A home from work (500 miles). That trailer sees a lot more use behind my F150 than I...
Bellcrank looks like it is installed like my ‘47. I didn’t have any problems steering it when I pushed it into the barn. My CJ3A is different. The rod from the steering box mounts on top of the...
Sorry to hear about your mishap. Those composite blades can be like razors. Wood not much better. I have been out of the hobby quite a while but I seem to recall the motors turning around 10,000 rpm...
WOW! I would have never found that if hadn’t been pointed out. I cleaned the end of the cane with a scotchbrite wheel on a Dremel and had to get out the 10x magnifying glass. I found a line about an...
I can’t remember at the moment which of my T90 transmissions does not have a threaded cane. No sign there was ever any there. The knob that was on it had a setscrew.
