2014 Rock Therapy - Official Thread

dont have one

its a stand alone circuit with a relay. i dont have the factory computer controlling it

 

oh boy

that makes much different.... how does it know when to stop the motor?

 

i ran into an issue with this last year...the motor kinda just...does a full movement. so last year the rack wasnt aligned correctly so it didnt engage all the way. I ripped it apart less than 2 hours before the hells run and figured out the rack just had to be aligned to what a factor locker would have set it to (compared to a different truck's rack position with factory locker). So after aligning it it worked fine.

now it doesent make its full movement so it cant slide the rack enough to lock it in fully

 

hmmmmmm....id try it with no load, take it out and move it rom max to min and watch it sweep.

 

i guess ill compare em. but with a load it sounds like a dying cat. i know if i use it with the motor i wont have any faith with it on hard trails.


i had it out wheeling and engaged it with the button, and it made, to me, the exact same noise it did when it was mis aligned. and I know it was aligned because we set it a few days prior.

 

huh, i guess it could wear out, it is a motor.....

 

Just use the machine in the hallway, fresh free ice everyday... Oh wait...

 

well i know its burnt out...because we took the whole thing apart and looked at it. like, i know for a fact a coil is burnt out haha. im not guessing at that part. and im almost positive it shorted out when an exposed metal prong on the relay hit a part of the metal cab that was tubbed and maybe got missed when i was painting it

 

Pre-cool your cooler. Helps alot. Fill it up with ice the night before or whatever and then get rid of the water and fill up with frozen water bottles like suggested, also the bigger the mass of ice you can pack the better and still fit ur food, like gallon jugs if you have that kind of room...

 

Ripped out my sway bars, dropped the rims and tires off for a swap of valve stems, beads and balance of the rim only, of course mounting of the 37s

240s install
Oem hand throttle,

Tomorrow clean and pack

 

Anyone gonna be in Moab early in the week wanna go MTBing if there any cyclists going?? Ill be in Moab Sunday night or Monday.wanted to get a few trails in??


Oh I'm super stoked as well

 

stocked up on some Colorado micro brew. gear all over our down stairs. early start tomo to pack the truck and head west

see everyone next week

 

I finally get to start on my mod list! Wooohooo! Welp, new uca ball joints here i come!!! At least i'm not on spacers this year!!!

 

I've got 12 hours before I hit highway

 

Big ice saving tip. Freeze everything possible. Keep out of your cooler. The wet towel on top works great. As an HVAC tech I could explain why if you care.

 

Haha!

 

As did I!! Got some good locals and I'm hitting the road NOW!!

 

!!!!!

 

I've got roughly 4200 minutes till i leave

 

Does it have to do with evaporation?
When I was deployed we would put bottles of hot water in a sock then another one, then wet them, then hang them from our mirror while we drove, the evaporation would cool them down more then I expected.
