Calling all Virginians (Tidewater area)

ah, got ya...I have a similar problem until I can run new cable. the big starter cable reached but the smaller stock ones with the in-line fuse was too short and I had to attach that one to the smaller positive post. anyone know if this can cause an issue with the battery? I don't know shit about electric...thanks

 

The grease is conductive. Lots of opl use on their ground points to prevent corrosion but also increase the contact area for better connectivity. Not exactly needed unless you can't get a good contact.

 

anyone looking for a factory tow hook or red otrattw "fog lights" switch?

or an iphone too

 

The TRD offroad tow hook? Yes!

 

If you're running the same battery, I think you should be fine, the starter is your biggest draw on the battery. I wouldn't say it's ideal, but you should be OK temporarily.

 

Never heard of anyone doing that, good deal.

 

x2. Seems like it would be good to use on CB mounts and such to ensure a decent ground. I had a heck of a time with mine having to grind off a ton of paint.

 

Quick change in my schedule... now, not avail until Aug. Sorry Chris.

 

If you're just trying to prevent corrosion use Dielectric grease. It's non-conductive - the pressure from the contact points will squish the grease aside, the grease "seals" the contact/cannon plug from corrosion.

Fun reading on greases and electricity.

 

No worries on the welding. Not in a hurry.

Good read on the grease

I generally use dielectric grease but always saw/heard of using the antiseize for ground point. Never needed to test the theory; all my connectors seem to work just fine

 

I needed more conductivity..... I may use some permatex dielectric to keep the bar from rusting... I just needed to clean up the surface of the metal, i hit it with some sandpaper where the rings are making contact and she's happy now.

 

Didn't catch your truck in Chris's video, did you not make the trip this past weekend ?

 

He got scared

 

Wish I did. This was my wifes last weekend before going to ODS for 5 weeks(officer candidate school for medical professionals)....so I didnt want to leave for the weekend. I would have never heard the end of it!

Of my wife...

 

^Exactly!^

 

I hear ya, similar situation.... Gonna try my ass off to make the next one.... I might have to beg and bribe some folks here to help me finish a few things on the truck before hand, even if it means crashing at the inlaw's at the beach for a weekend to get the shit done... been trying to do it all myself, it's just not getting done

 

Like new in box digital camera. Nikon coolpix S210 with 4 GB memory $25

 

question for you guys that used the duplicolor bedliner, did you use any primer or other prep stuff before the bedliner?

 

fyi to anyone who cares. regular bearing/tube grease does the same thing. My father has been using it on batt terminals forever. They never corrode. I do the same
