Hey Jason - if you need to create a new trench for wire/conduit - don't use a pick and shovel... Rent this from Home Depot - 18" trencher.

Might be worth looking at.

 

I need to rent one of these for a french drain in the backyard...they look sweet and will chew through roots fast

 

Anyone going to the Baja 1000 this year?

I'm supposed to be going to help out in the pit for one of the race teams.

 

Always wanted to go check it out

 

electrical in ground is 3/4" minimum so you can easily fit a lot more wire

 

Its actually a 3 wire system and they ran it as a hot, neutral, ground system. I am going to take the ground from up top and use it as the other leg and add a new ground rod to feed the sub-panel, and add a another bus for separate ground and neutral bars.
And I cant really fish tape it, the run is over 150' long and has a few corners, however it is 1.5" conduit.
Hopefully I should be able to wire it up to work.

Yes it would for sure! I hope to have the electrical figured out but for some reason the 1" water main that runs to the shop flows like a clogged straw! Probably going to need to run a new line since I have no idea why this one flows so bad. I may just try cutting it at the last elbow and see if something is stuck in it and I can blow it out! Probably not knowing my luck, haha.

 

I have 240v!! Converted the ground to hot, and adding a grounding rod for a separate ground at the sub-panel. Stoked!

 

Easy peasy, always a way when you got the will! good job

 

What's new everyone?

Has anyone replaced the bushing for the upper steerin shaft joint? I have found the origin to my steering wheel play and I'm thinking it needs replacement.

 

Nope but always willing to lend a hand and learn something new

 

We're heading up to Tepui Fest in Hollister OHV Park tomorrow morning at cock-a-doodle doo o'clock. Looks like there will a TW NorCal crew there so we'll hook up with them. All ya'all have a good weekend!

 

Have you done the zip tie mod ?

 

Yes, but the zip tie I used was not very big. It has progressively gotten worse and I don't think that trick will do me any justice. Ill tear it apart and see what I find.

 

I saw on ttora some people were tacking the two shafts together to eliminate play, but in the event of a crash the racks would give and allow the steering shafts to telescope into each other. It’s on my list of things to do.

 

Yeah, I did some reading last night. Just need to get under there and see what I can do. Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of any of the fixes I have seen. It the TSB shaft is like $200 so that's out.

 

Do a small tac weld. Just not big enough for it not to telescope if necessary in a collision.
Or even some wood glue, it sets hard enough to stop play but weak enough to crack when needed.

 

Isn't that mod only for 1st gens...?
