    1/2 Ton Burb

    IMO it would do it, but wouldn't last long doing it. If you are set on going this way, make sure the overdrive tranny has been rebuilt and upgraded.

    Plasma cutter

    In theory, yes. In practice, I don't think you are going to get anything near the input amps from a 110 outlet required to get 27A output. I've bumped into it once during a long (20+") cut on 1/2" plate. Other than that, my little compressor struggles to keep up more than the plasma cutter.

    Plasma cutter

    I researched these when I bought mine a couple of years ago. Hypertherm is the best from what I learned. I bought the Miller Spectrum 375 which is obviously the Hypertherm 380 rebranded for Miller. I landed on this model for four reasons: 1- Reputation 2- Ability to use 110 or 220 3- Price...

    Whats your mileage?

    Trail rig: 416 Mog loaded with trail gear (10k lbs) 11-12 mpg city or freeway. About 8 or 9 on the trail. Tow Vehicle: Freightliner with Mog loaded on back (25k lbs) 11-12 mpg. DD: VW Jetta TDI average 48 mpg. In the end it all averages out. :)

    Chain Tie Down

    I think last time I looked Harbor Freight had them as well as Home Depot. Cal-Ranch in Tooele and American Fork is another good source. Cal-Ranch also has hooks and everything. I customized my chains so they fit just like I want them. Like already mentioned, any truck stop will have them...

    How to: attach jeep to trailer?

    Just a point about the "bobble headed" syndrome. It's probably not an issue tying down the axles if the vehicle is on a big flat bed that weighs 2-3 times what the vehicle does. On the other hand, if you have a 6000 lb vehicle on a 2000 lb trailer pulled by a rig that doesn't weigh much more...

    Stuck in herriman canyon..Need help Please!!

    It was just in the foothills South of Herriman - a few miles east of Rose Canyon. I don't know if that is a named place or not. Me and a couple of Discos pulled it out yesterday morning. Luckily we were done before the big rain came. It was actually nice weather. I had a good time other...

    sami rough running when it rains hard

    I've never had a sami, but I have had a car exhibit this same behavior. It turned out to be ice forming in the top of the carb. Only happened in really moist, cold weather conditions. If you parked it for a few minutes, the heat would melt the ice and it would run great. Took forever to...

    GPS downloads?

    Will do. The wpt file is for loading into a freeware app called G7towin. I think it downloads and uploads to all the Garmin gps - works with my cheap eTrex anyway. The excel file is the same data just to look at or export to whatever.

    big rig salvage yards?

    Great, although I haven't mounted them. They always have 20-30 trucks there in the yard. You pick which ones you want and remove the horns, hose, and valve. I found a set where the long horn was 30 inches long! They take a lot of air, but they really put out the volume! We were testing them...

    big rig salvage yards?

    Don't know about down your way, but two places come to mind: Vriens Truck Parts - 850 W 1600 North, SLC Rocky Mountain - 188 W 14th St, Ogden I've personally bought a set from Vriens for $50.

    welder q's

    Cut the guy a break! I have a Lincoln 135 that is handy for small jobs. If you use the flux core wire you can do 1/4 or 5/16 easy. 3/8 in multi pass. That being said, I agree with others in one way - I wouldn't try to use it with gas unless you are sticking to sheet metal.

    GPS downloads?

    I have all of the coordinates from Charles Well's Moab book in a file. I just dump them to a cheap Garmin unit. I could dig them out for anyone interested. Unfortunately they were all created before GPS selective availability was turned off, so they aren't as accurate as they could be. I...
