    New Punch HHO 3.0 DC

    i dont think its a matter of the jars heating up to a point they break. its just them moving around and hitting bumps in the road or that one unexpected pot hole or rock that you hit that will jar (no pun intended lol) the jars and break them. if its going on a little camry you might get away...

    Bed liner instead of carpet

    LOL i forgot about sound! wow you would need to put those sound panels under your rig then.. or maybe use the liner and cover with some "disposable" carpet if its going to see water and mud and junk.. OR removable carpet :D

    Need a connection point

    hmm.. should be a relay in the fuse/relay box that does that. you gotta either wire off of it or effectively double relay in parallel with the headlights so you can still turn them on without the car on.. use a DPDT relay because you might want a way to turn them off with the car on. but...

    Bed liner instead of carpet

    yeah the stuff we used comes with special rollers that make that rough texture. you dont use a brush and the more you use the better. i've also herd of people mixing large grain sand with it making it REALLY rough and non slip.

    next one, please.

    hmm.. thats a good question.. i've had my 97 up to 120 mph on a flat road in new mexico for about 10 minutes.. everything seemed ok but i slowed down because I was about to crest a hill and didnt want to be surprised. of course your explorer is new and much more stable. so im sure you could...

    rear end differential problems..

    what kind of rear end does a stock 97 V6 XLT explorer have? i know its 10 bolts.. but what does that equate to as far as size or whatever? (10.25", 10.50", 7.5", 8", 8.8", 9", 9.75") I need to buy all differential bearings and stuff and need to know what size. it sounds like a yoke bearing...

    New Punch HHO 3.0 DC

    The jar and PVC methods are wet cells and have the bad reputation of blowing up. dry cell is the safest but like albi said, use schedule 40 pvc pipe for your wet cell. so when/if it goes "boom" it MIGHT just pop a hose off instead of the whole pipe causing a huge mess. ALL HHO systems should...

    Laws with frame swap?

    meh.. nobody would know if you bought the car for "scrap metal" .. seriously though. I've seen worse uses of "cloning" .. a small mom and pop used car lot used to take stolen cars and swap the vin from a wrecked one and resell it. they got caught here a few years ago. doing stuff like that...

    Laws with frame swap?

    I dont think you'll have a single problem as long as you keep the swapped frame truck forever like i think you will. I also would never get rid of my heap! if you try to sell it or trade it in the dealer or whoever MIGHT go **** and look for everything and yank your chain. but even at that...

    my ranger finally made it from mexico take a look!!!

    OMFG ford is so retarded to not bring that here to the states! .. looking at the video here I would SO buy a crew cab diesel 4x4 ranger! who else would too? that thing would dominate the small work truck market. gas rangers are about the best we have here for small trucks and they suck. s10's...

    New Punch HHO 3.0 DC

    I started out with a single giant glass jar on my friends honda crv. we worked for weeks trying to build it and fine tune it but we were idiots and used terminal bolts WAY to small to carry 15 amps so dont make that same mistake. it blew up and we had glass everywhere. even some in his and my...
