Idaho BS thread in the PNW

Which of you guys are going to the Moab meet???

 

I want to go, konsta will be, and I have at least one local friend with a 4R that wants to go (his friend also is showing interest) and if Monte would get a dam job HE COULD GO!!


everyone else is a lame ass, then theres brady who has army play time interfering with both summer meets.







K SO! I played engineer for a bit and designed my bumper fill pieces. I need to get them cut out, and we shall see how well I did.

 

Damn strait haha the rain is my wash.

 

I do the same thing with the terrible tupperware terror.

 

Ha ha now that is some serious engineering high tech schematics you got there

Well hopefully they are gonna go. They got a little over three months to get ready for it. I just know me and Ripcord (NM) that is from the t4r.org forums is going.

By the way to clear up any confusion I was raised in Idaho for the most part of my life. So yep

 

Oh and to add to the you know your from Idaho list:

If you have seen snow and lightning at once, your from Idaho.
(Yes I have seen this, about 12 years ago in Pocatello)

My buddy who was born and raised in Roberts submission is:

If you have to carry a ice scraper and sun-shade in the middle of summer, your from Idaho.

 

Where in Idaho did you grow up Ben...

Holy crap! Another Ben! That makes way too many to keep track of now... haha

 

Hey now, I had to use math to figure out the dimensions of the angled sides. My mind was blown when I actually used something I learned in high school.

 

Im still leaning on Brant. he's trying to lame ass out but his truck will hate him if he does'nt go.

 

I grew up kinda all over SE Idaho but mainly Pocatello an Rigby. And to solve this confusion on names just call me Fitz.

 

Ha ha man I know exactly what your talking about. Kinda surprises ya when you figure out (remember!) how to do something. Lol and my schematics look about the same as yours when I draw anything out.

 

If my memory serves correctly isn't that normally the case with him???

 

Math*** ^^^ (your welcome)

 

I've known him about a year now and only wheeled with him once... but he is the only one here that is married with kids and he works miserable 50-60 hours every week so he doesn't have much free time...

 

Yes this is very true indeed so his reason for not going out much: justified!!

But still hope he comes. Cool guy from the few times I have talked to him.

 

Hell yeah he is!


Also I don't think I have a leak after. Pretty sure it is just where I spilled oil from the last oil change. Haha

 

Got my led turn signals wired in, legal now haha. The blinker still clicks really fast like the bulb is broken or something even though they work fine.



Got a couple coats of primer on, wired turn signals and fixed the wire I cut for my off road lights. Good afternoon. Time to snowboard!

 

You was so close. So very very close to having the terminology right. spot on there. A system with one resistor (load) an one power source will use all voltage applied to get max current.

i.e. 12v / 100ohm = .12A on that resistor

i.e.2. 12v / 10ohm = 1.2 A

If you put a resistor in line with a "load" then you are effectively raising the "load resistance" where as two resistors in line add "r1+r2".

i.e. 12v / (20ohm+80ohm) = .12A
.12A * 20ohm = 2.4v
.12A * 80ohm = 9.6v

I could give you the method and other stuff for all the other parts but simply this will do. The original bulb will have a resistance and produce a specific current and that is what the system I "looking" for. Get out a DMM and measure the resistance of the old bulb and then measure the LEDs. Subtract LEDs from old bulb and there is your resistor size you need minimum.

Your lights are two low of a resistance for the flasher and are allowing too much current through. It is probably getting read by the computer as an open circuit.

That's my two cents on that.

(Sorry about the lesson, but should help figure it out. Went to school for electrical stuff)
