November 4, 201114 yr It's hard to tell from the picture, but we used all four tow points for a total of five anchor points in case one pulled off (they were all solid, but if your life is on the line I prefer safe over sorry if the resources can be had).
November 4, 201114 yr moonman, did you wrap three, secure with a water knot, then use 2 for support? lol! looks like fun times!
November 4, 201114 yr Ive been working on this. Oil PSI gauge and ipod Aux-in/switch panel for my '84GL It will take the place of the factory ash-tray. Fabricated from stainless steel. Just need to work on the mounting tabs, then paint. It will be matte black to blend with the interior better.
November 5, 201114 yr moonman, did you wrap three, secure with a water knot, then use 2 for support? lol! looks like fun times! On rocks and trees and things I do wrap three, pull two. In this case we did something similar but clipped it together with a carabiner and clipped that to the tow hook. Total of five anchors--four tow hooks and the support pillar. We did use water knots . Anything else is either death by falling (failed equipment/untying while on rope), or death by driving yourself crazy untying the damn things afterward, depending on what knot you use. The plastic piping is just a rope protector so it doesn't rub on the rock over the edge. It was fun times
November 5, 201114 yr Idasho: I like that thing a lot. How do you get the aux in to work, is it with stock radio or after market? I think there are a couple ways (I think there was another thread on it even, iirc). ETA: I wish there was an embarrased smiley. Just clicked back over to the main page for the old gen forum and...tada! Turns out the thread I was thinking of is YOURS. And what's more it was (at the time I clicked) the one immediately next to this one...sigh. Someday I will learn! Edited November 5, 201114 yr by man on the moon
November 5, 201114 yr hehe Hopefully Ill have time this weekend to finish it up. Winter treads going on the GL right now. Bring on the SNOW!!
November 5, 201114 yr "Bring on the SNOW!! :burnout:" (grins) All the leaves are brown (Pin Oak) And the sky is gray (It's snowing) I go for a drive (Subaru) On a winters day The Preacher likes to talk She thinks I'm gonna stay California dreaming On such a winters day I stopped into a church I pass along the way There I got down on my knees And I began to pray You know that woman likes to talk She finally goes away And I'd be safe and warm If I was in L.A. California dreaming (ducks)

November 6, 201114 yr The wife has complained of a squealing noise on startup - intermittently - in her 03 OBW 3.0 . Naturally, it hasn't made a peep when I drive it. On another forum, I discovered her car is supposedly prone to having bad serpentine belt idler and tensioner pulley bearings. I bought new bearings from NAPA and a new belt and will probably swap those out soon. anyone here done that? is there a link to pics or a video? Mostly, just wondering if tapping the new bearings in will be adequate. I plan to put the bearings in the freezer, maybe warm the pulleys up. I may look for some Locktite threadlocker or similar to put on the outer race of the new bearings before assembly. thoughts? Edited November 6, 201114 yr by 1 Lucky Texan
November 6, 201114 yr Thanks! It was nice to do something to this little car that didnt require getting oily and greasy
November 6, 201114 yr I know how that is... My next few moves require getting greasy... itll be nice when its all said and done and I can start modding... 5 lug swap should be amazing.
November 6, 201114 yr Not today, but on Tuesday I changed an axle out in a parking lot of a town I'd never been in before... Axle failed on a road trip, and I fortunately ended up in a good place to find a napa and get parts to fix it. Picture of my workspace complete with my motorized bicycle which I'm very glad I brought.
