**OHIO WHEELIN' & MEET-UP THREAD**

A cycle refers to charging from and discharging to a set amount. One cycle could be 20% to 100% to 20% or it could be 50% to 100% to 50%. The point is, as I understand it, that your alternator will try to push the charge to 100% and hold it there. You only need worry about exceeding 13.8v if you use a float charger (trickle) to keep it from discharging over time. I highly recommend you to read the label on the top of your battery.

 

What do you think I read... Even ask @intoit247

 

Roman, did you get that Icom rocking again?

 

Also, I got that die, thank you! It looks like it got chipped a bit.

 

Yes, Icom working perfect now.

As for the die, I wouldn't doubt it. Garbage Chinese steel I assume. It does the job. It should still work just fine for you

 

What else do you guys carry while out on a trail? Good idea on the CV axle, U-joint and Sway bar links...any other commonly broken items? I've been wheelin' in a '79 Jeep for 15 years now but im new to the Tacoma wheelin world.

 

3 years and I've never had a single thing go wrong on the trail besides body damage. Just depends on your luck!

For long hauls I always carry;
Spare CV
Spare driveshaft
U-joints
Fluids (coolant, engine/gear oil, trans, PS)
Tie rods (inner/outer)
Lower ball joints
Wheel hub bearing

 

Fluids.. forgot fluids. I need to get tie rods, drive shaft, ball joints, hub bearing (maybe hub also). I need to relocate my spare, too. I've thought about just making a temporary relocate to the bed and attach it to the rails just when I go wheeling. A good bolt and T-nut should work. I don't wheel often enough to get the bumper spare holder.

 

Brother and I bought a pipe bender.... Waiting for it to come in so we can start building some interesting things. First on the list is our utv's though.

 

There is a company out there that makes a tailgate replacement. You take off yours and put theirs on and it can your your hi lift and spare. Or you can get the CBI hitch spare tire holder

This one is pretty sweet! Good price, too. Only concern is how far out it sticks in the back. But at $350... intrigued.

 

Got my battery warrantied and replaced my alternator. Shits working gangster now. But fuck doing these alternators!

My gas tank skid came in today too.

 

I go to Baltimore Saturday to pick up my sliders. Going to be a long day.

 

Wow

 

My new cooler cane in today. Stoked.

Got a dry goods tray and divider. This thing is sweet.

 

Where is the plug?
