    amps x volts = watts. 4ax120v= 480w 480w\12v= 40amps. not sure where the 3x multiple came in. but somehow the amp hour calc was right ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 120 amp hours per hour of the compressor running is correct. if you run the AC 5 minutes per hour that would be about 10AH per hour which might...

    Harbor freight offroad trailer, build log move, new tow vehicle.

    lastnight i decided to tackle the sway issue ive been having, i weighed the trailer loaded down for a family trip (way more junk) and it was about 1300lbs so it needs to have right around 200lbs tongue weight. so, yeah compacting the weight issue my 52q ice chest (60+lbs full) was 2/3 behind the...

    output shaft on the transfer case is tweaked a tiny bit. what i ended up doing was pulling the entire brake mechanism off, took the drum into work and had the center machined out to use as a spacer for the drive shaft, put it back in and that eliminated 90% of the vibration dont notice it...
