If you just pull the trigger and not weld, does it trip the breaker?

Yea is it solenoid or contactor?

If it's contactor, then any wholesaler will get you one.

Gas solenoid? 

I usually start with the supplier of the machine, if they can't help then Google.

Holy shit that was a burn.

Red looks sexy, superchargers are cool as fuck.

I've got a factory 07 RMZ250 muffler if you want.

I use this in my defender, as I wanted one gauge to do everything and you can set warnings.

Grab some ear plugs too, it's miserable to try and sleep in a room of snorers

Hey so i'm going to be bringing an assortment of small bike related crap that i will either give away or swap for roadside bj's.

So if you have shit you want to unload, or maybe take my shit, then bring along your shit!

The very least, J5 gets more shit!

Oh yea sorry, good points outweigh the bad ones tbh.

Take one for a drive, they aren't terrible.

Have an auto 2014 ILoad work van, goes pretty good and has an auto locking diff which has been handy for impromptu donuts.

Like all common rail diesels, maaaaaassive flat spot off boost which I assume can be fixed with an iDrive throttle controller.

The boss and I are hard on them, full throttle everywhere and towing heavy shit around.

Things that have been issues:

Boss had hisvan replaced under warranty because hyundai are fucking idiots and didn't know how to diagnose faulty diff carrier bearings, mine are getting noisy now too.

Warps brake rotors every 10k.

Something in the egr comes loose and you get an exhaust leak

The contact for the sliding doors isn't very good and the doors often don't lock

The battery in mine would discharge if not used for 4 days, again hyundai are punishing and don't know how batteries work so refused to replace it

This is a very sensible time to be checking things if you're like me and use your bike twice a year.

Tyres

Chain

Sprocket

Drive rubbers

Brakes

Wheel bearings

Spark plug

Fuckin bang out the checks over a weekend, or sneak in an hour after work. Enough time to order parts and get them fitted before the ride.

The price difference it's so little that I use 8.8 everywhere, unless I've decided to use 12.9 cap screws.

I found that as long as you were up in rpm that you could check part throttle afr without reversion issues.

@Archetype has some strawberry flavoured stuff, so you should try to latch onto his tailpipe wherever possible. 

 

By the way, @Beaver and I have a couple of Waikaremoana bed spaces available in our cabins if anyone's in need.

Oh boy that's enough gravel to make me want to replace my flogged out wheel bearings.

The hoist service guys are the hoist sales guys, of course they get "uneconomical" to keep operating, that how you make money twice from the one deal.

Sell them a new one, and sell the old one.

Isn't there something like if you have fog lights they need to be wired up and working (or did they get rid of this rule a few years back)? You't think there would be a similar rule for other lights.

Thanks for adding zero value as per usual

I'm just wondering if pulling the relay/fuse is enough to keep them happy.

Separate work light switch for light bar?

You can do this, but can't face it forward.

For an MC class truck am I right in saying you can only have four lights (two auxiliary) on main beam?

It would be nice to have a light bar on the roof for a nice wide spread of light in the bush, but also long distance spots on the bumper.

Does that just mean I can pull the relay for the lightbar at wof time and say I don't use it? 

If the light is there, does it have to work?
