Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

No clue at all. It was over a year ago and I never wrote it down.

Sorry dood

Anthony, might have luck asking 5-90 or checking his site - he collects bolt size/thread/grade info and puts it on one of the pages there. Not sure if the tranny stuff is on there yet.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

no big deal colin. i could always measure when i take them out. i need to get the tranny's rebuilt first. i think i'm just going to take this one apart, label all the parts, then take kyle's apart, label all the parts, and measure the gaps to see which is in the best shape, put the stuff i'm going to use in another pile, and reassemble. i've never taken apart a tranny before. i want to build an engine too.

5 amps should do it for the fogs, 10 for the headlamps. Use I = P/V where V=12 (which results in the fuse being just a little overrated @ 13.8 volts, which is what you want so it only pops if there's an overload, not at normal load while you're driving)

EDIT - that's per lamp, so I guess you'd end up using all four positions in that block if you did that.

So if I'm using relays, would you say a 20amp fuse for the relays, even though they are 30amp relays?

since i have a few jeeps for sale, it really bothers me when someone shows up to look at buying my stuff and brings their mom with them.

Yeah, I'd use wiring rated for 30 amps though - that makes upgrading to higher wattage lamps simple, just pull the fuse and replace. Fuses should always be rated for a bit over the current you expect during normal operation*, though you might have to do a bit more overkill or use slow-blow fuses for reactive loads such as motors and amplifier surge capacitor banks.

EDIT: * or just under the power handling capability of the weakest link in the system. If normal power draw is over the rating of the weakest link (like running 100 watt bulbs on 5 amp relays for instance), well, the weakest link needs upgrading.

Should have got her number if she was a MILF.

that's really really really not safe. welding springs is never good. springs are the same metallic content throughout. when you weld, you introduce a funky combination of heat treatment and dissimilar metals. and the weld is basically way stiffer than the surrounding spring and will crack. don't do it :twak:

my mkV gti has vogtlands with konig adjustable struts. rides nice.

I don't have anything that nice. I have a '91 Fox. I didnt think it would but but I figured I'd ask. I'm selling it in April anyways so I don't really care if I lower it or not.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Can I show up and bring my kid sisters with me? Then maybe if I take long enough looking at Jeeps you will just let me take one for free in order to get my sisters away from you :laugh:

I want an MJ but have no where to put it. Makes me a sad addict.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

gotta pull a motor,put a beam in(xj)-beam done, motor not so much
track bar+more(mj)-
heater switch(other xj)-done but still doesnt work
replace misc bulbs(mj)
figure out why the rear pass taillight is not getting power(other mj)-voltmeter crapped out
check front brakes(other mj)

If it can wait till evening, count me the hell in!

i may need help with silly wiring stuff.ill let you know in a bit.
im gonna replace the bulbs that are shot on the SB mj,cause one side blinks,and the other side goes solid when the lights go on.
also, some of the gauges peg out when the lights go on too.
ill post up after i check it out.
i also tried to put in a stock radio, but no power, good fuse.
im also gonna check out the steering.
it steers awesome goin left, but right is horrible.

Let me know, I'll toss the DMM/soldering gear/heatshrink/crimps/pressure crimper/assorted nonsense in the back and head over. I've been itching for an excuse to use this crimper... reminds me, I need to plan out my PDU and the headlight harness more.

Alright, since I'm sort of retarded when it comes to the electrical stuff.

Here is a general overview. How does it sound?
Battery->12gauge wire-> 20amp fuse? -> 30amp 5 post SPST relay -> 12 gauge wire from each pole to each 80w low beam

I'll ground the relays and lights back to battery.
