Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Does any one know if polarity matters in DC? Reason I ask is because when I was removing rear 3rd member, electrical socket wasn't coming off for the rear locker(I am assuming due to heat it got stuck) and when I pulled on the little bit, wires came out of the socket. Both of the wires are blue and there is no indication of polarity on the socket either. Thanks for your help!

 

Chances are one of those wires has a trace (stripe) on it to differentiate.

Yes it does. A great deal. See if you can dig up a wiring diagram with a pin-out guide for that connector. Or crawl under another Gen3 OR and take a look.

 

Wire is inside the diff assembly(locker wire) and wire connected to the socket is super short. Unless I take out the 3rd member, there is no way to peak inside through that small hole or even back of the socket. Can I hook it up to the battery and see if it engages?

 

I think what I'm going to do is extended that wire by an inch or so and put it back inside the diff and test if the locker engages and if it doesn't I'll just take the socket out and switch the wires.

 

I saw ur IG story. Figured you’d bring the GX. Not a problem. Ironically I was going to ask you about a stump. I don’t have one. We need to find someone who can find one.

 

DC polarity doesn't matter for incandescent light bulbs, but does matter for most other applications, and is critical for anything electronic.

 

I’ve know where I can get a bunch. But don’t know if I’ll have time to.

 

What is this for? Asking cause I have 2 stumps in the backyard currently. One isn’t very big but the other is decent, depending on what it’s for.

 

For the stump game.....obviously!

 

Let me know when. And are you sure your rack needs to be replaced?

 

Yep. It's actually really fortunate. My neighbor builds hot rods and cool stuff and said hed help me build a nice frame and stretch it so it's a 4 seater. I'm thinking closer to a scrambler in length

 

Rock on my friend!

 

I was going to guess for flex poses and such, but could also be for a chopping block or some other thing i’m unaware of.

Edit: In for the stump game btw, I think.

 

sounds good brotha!!

Rack is good. Its the bushings. They have a lot of play

 

You get the energy suspension kit? I did mine last winter. Ez pz. And cheap too. Like $20 from 4wp

 

Thanks man

I'll let ya know when shes done. Well go play

 

You will enjoy it, especially if @Gply is playing

 

At least he didn’t have shoulder surgery again this year. Last yea was “ah shit, fuck, damnit.. my shoulder!”

 

I bought steering rack bushings last year. Still on the shelf.

 

instead of buying all this expensive-ass shit for my truck i should have waited for the post-overlanding sales extravaganza.
