    Wheel comes of truck and launches car

    I'm with you. In my home state we have an annual safety inspection. Every state should do the same, and any mods that affect the suspension, steering, or brakes should require some kind of certification. Your rights end where others' safety begins.

    Aux light circuit over rated?

    AC acts very differently from DC. In DC, the wattage is 'driven' by the voltage. When you are splitting phases, it's another completely different story. You cannot compare any AC power calculations to DC calculations. This guy has some great simple videos, for those who want to dig into it...

    What about expansion room for the LVP? All the LVPs I have looked at require 1/4" gap at all edges for thermal expansion.

    I hope you are going to finish it square! I'd sure hate to try to fit LVP to that pattern! o_O I just finished a large LVP project for my MIL. She bought a pallet of the stuff at HD. Didn't do any homework, just saw a sale and bought the whole pallet. It's decent stuff, but from a...

    Very nice. (y) (y) Did you use spacers to get the outlets flush with the new tile?

    Daily Chuckle

    Good to know! I have not done that, yet, but my son did last year. Seems some idiot did a bunch of front-end work including new axles, brake work, etc. and didn't snug the nuts down on the driver's side. Hilarity ensued. After towing and functional (not cosmetic) repairs, there was more...

    Aux light circuit over rated?

    That's the normal operating voltage for automotive circuits. No, you are going backwards. You are assuming the wattage remains constant. It does not. In a DC circuit, to find the amperage, you start with the actual voltage of the circuit and the resistance of the load. You can't find the...

    Aux light circuit over rated?

    If you are measuring 12v at your battery it's failing.

    Daily Chuckle

    Yep. The classic Cherokee suffers from the same idiocy. I did find some one-piece stainless lug nuts for it online, but they wanted 8 bucks per nut. Not per wheel, per nut. That's $160 plus shipping to change them out.

    Aux light circuit over rated?

    Yep. From parts made elsewhere.

    What model or series

    That's a mechanical engineer's screaming fit, right there! :D

    Looking to buy used

    Thread hijacking is a good way to NOT get your post seen. (Aside from being very bad forum etiquette.) Best to start your own thread.

    Aux light circuit over rated?

    I doubt the actual LED chips are made in San Diego.

    $15- dollar Kubota tees and hats

    I'm not enough of a fan boy to pay out of my pocket to advertise for ANYBODY. I do wear a lot of freebies, though.

    Aux light circuit over rated?

    Those numbers don't surprise me. That's almost 90% of rated capacity, and that's cutting it too close for comfort. But as has been said, check it. Those ratings are probably Chinese marketing flim flam.

    Tooth Bar??

    Don't think anybody suggested otherwise. But in some soils, they don't dig nearly as well as a toothed bucket. That's why most heavy equipment uses toothed buckets.

    Tooth Bar??

    Yeah, I haven't walked into mine, so... no cuts. Really? Avoiding a very useful tool because you might get cut??? :rolleyes:

    Tooth Bar??

    Same here. There may be others just as good, but I have zero complaints about my Piranha. It works very well, and it's no big deal to take it off or put it on. Make a night and day difference when digging.

    WiFI extending question

    Bingo. A lot of people think they can take a weak signal and amplify it and life will be good. At that point you are just amplifying noise.
