    Cross country trailering advice/tips

    That has to be a mistake...20 lbft is what I use. I use this procedure: 1) While rotating the wheel clockwise, tighten to 20lb.ft. 2) loosen the nut and then finger tight. 3) insert cotter pin or keeper without tightening the nut. If anything, back off slightly to make cotter pin/keeper fit.

    Batteries for 21ft CC

    Good that you didn't buy the LiTime or Power Queen. Those are lithium batteries and lithium batteries can not be used to start engines.

    Cross country trailering advice/tips

    When you say you have greased the axle bearings, hopefully, that means you have taken the hubs off removed the bearings, inspected them, and hand packed them.

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    For weeks I would not be concerned. Just don't charge them up right away until you are going to use it again. Typically, the only thing that would happen is that you might only get 2000 charge cycles vs 3000 charge cycles...probably more than you would do in your lifetime anyway.

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    I used to have a couple when LiFePO4 batteries were relatively new to market. They are great batteries but not really worth the price premium these days. Many other good options.

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    I use LiFePO4 batteries in my travel trailer. I store them at between 50% to 70% when they won't be used for a month. If you are using the boat everyday, just keep them at 100%.

    Kodiak 225 Brake pad replacement

    There are automotive brake pads that are equivalent. I used them with my Kodiak brakes. I don't have the info at the moment but I can try to find it. EDIT: here you go. Btw...they worked perfectly....even in salt water but I rinse my brakes thoroughly after dunking. Use the ones listed in...

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    They should be working already if they are actually going to work. Did you put a power supply or charger on them? I have my low temp cutoff set at 4F. Any temp higher than that and they should output.

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    LiFePO4 batteries can operate down to 0F. You just can't charge them below 32F unless they have internal heaters which many do.

    How Do You Utilize Sliding Rear Window on Your Pickup

    Trailer bleeding brakes. Part 2

    You shouldn't even see them release much at all. Don't be too worried if one looks like it releases and the other one doesn't. That's just the anti rattle springs doing that(if equipped). Pads are designed to just float along the rotor. The one that looks like it doesn't release is more than...

    Trailer bleeding brakes. Part 2

    Good you are doing it this way vs going over the frame. This is the proper way. I only bleed brakes with a pressure bleeder these days. Not only on cars/trucks, but also use one on the boat trailer I own that still has surge brakes. My other two trailers have electric over hydraulic brakes so...

    Interesting take! Now if I said this, that would be a different story

    Trailer bleeding brakes. Part 2

    You need a small loop in the hose. It allows the brake line to absorb the deflection from the suspension. You do NOT want it on the top of the frame

    2024 NFL/CFB News and Nonsense

    It wasn't a bad call. If the defender had stuck his hand in the receivers' face mask and pushed his head, it would have been called on him so why not if it was reversed and the receiver did it to the defender. I have been reading the thread the entire time. Don't be a cheeseburger!

    That since you know NOTHING about itemization, you must not do your own taxes.

    2024 NFL/CFB News and Nonsense

    Moronic statement. Glad Eagles won to get rid of the Chief conspiracy whack job cheeseburgers!. If you are talking about the offensive pass interference call, it was a valid call. And I was rooting for the Eagles.
