finally red again!!!

 

[FlexdXJ]

A blind one armed monkey can solider..............I'm just sayn'.........

Why I oughta! :laugh3:

finally red again!!!

Welcome back................I figured you went back to JF or something! You need to remember to fold those damn mirrors in when you aren't towing the boat! :laugh3:

:roflmao: fair enough :anon:

you're really comparing him to a blind one-armed monkey though!? That's just harsh!

He won't know what to do once I get my tooth fixed. Once again hale, STFU! :moon: :looser:

 

[ChiXJeff]

Hmmmm, I've never seen those before. I bet those work good.
I'll have to see if I can find some locally before I heat up the soldering gun. I've got a Klien stripper/crimper that'll do the trick.

Thanks Jeff!:cheers:

Me, I'd just order from Parts Express. IIRC, they're in OH, you should have your bits in a day or 2. And, yes, they do work quite well. I've got splices under the hood of my XJ with these things that are 6+ years old, with no signs of corrosion.

If I didn't need the trailer any time soon I'd do the same. It's got a load to haul on Thursday and, need to be road ready.

I may just use the regular old butt splice crimp on's and then use the adhesive lined shrink tube on them.

 

[ChiXJeff]

That'd certainly be an alternative. I've seen the filled heat shrink style butt connectors on the shelf in local auto parts shops, but at a definite premium.

If any one is looking for a good used trailer, there is one around the corner from me. It isn;t much to look at, but it is only $300.00!
The tires are good but it will need new deck wood, at least.
If you are in NO.IL or SO.WI, I can send you a the addy.

I just scored a real nice tow dolly for $350.00!

 

[kastein]

I use a small butane torch to shrink them, the ones that have the heat sensitive glue inside that seals them up.

make sure you use a crimper and not the needle nose pliers, it makes all the difference.

I absolutely love those. I use em when I don't want to screw around with a soldering iron. Make sure you use a GOOD lever crimper, not the stupid 7 dollar pliers-like crimper from autozone, and those wires will never ever pull out.

Home Depot has them in the lighting/wiring aisle in slightly larger bulk packs, that's where I usually get mine though I'll probably order a 100pack of each size butt splice from waytek or terminal supply co sometime soon.

your tooth? you only got one? :gee:

Yes he does, and IT is broken!

 

[FlexdXJ]

Soldering may be brittle but in the end its much cleaner than a butt connector. Each have their place but I think as long as its not going to be constantly moved solder will hold up just fine. I have installed car stereos in many vehicles over the past few years and soldering the wires makes it much cleaner looking than any kind of connector. I have a little butane soldering iron thy works well but I need to spring for a good one.

So, an important lesson learned.

Gold Bond is not regular talcum powder, do not use it as such, or you will have strange tingly sensations.

 

[FlexdXJ]

Actually the rest of my tooth was removed. Didn't have $1100 handy while I was laid off to get the implant placed. So once the jawbone heals and my dental premium limit resets and I pay them $1100 I will have it fixed! And Ken I'm only missing one...of course its a front one. These jerks are having fun at my expense is all!

Now see, that's the whole reason that I use Gold Bond.......the tingly sensations.

Oh really?

Do you have a handicap or physical deformity that we need to know about?

:jester:

 

[IllianaXJ]

The tow rig looks a little gheyer...

Fixt.

Nice boat though.

 

[Rev Den]

Actually....

crimp a non-insulted butt connector, then solder it, then heat shrink. Aftermarket crimp on connectors alone are NOT OEM approved for electrical connectors.
