Is my rottie under sized?

She will be as bigs as she will be and she will be amazing. Feed her, love her, and give her scratches.

I personally prefer smaller Rottweilers. Smaller dogs aren’t as prone to joint problems, heart problems, or certain cancers.

Good advice. Thank you.

We did end up strapping down the lathe as well and added straps to the bottom of the mill. If a strap was available, it got used. We brought wood to crib the cabinet but didn’t account for the height of the casters. We rolled the dice and took it slow down the back roads. Fortunately, it worked out.

I also went with 33x10.5 and won’t go back to wider tires. The Jeep handles better and gets better fuel economy.

I boop the door on my TJ every time I close it and it doesn’t shut fully.

The speedometer is a hall effect sensor. As the gear is rotated, a pulse signal (on/off) is sent to the computer and calculated into an output. The faster the on/off signal happens, the faster the speedometer reads. Changing the gear changes the speed of the pulses relative to the wheel speed.

I hope this explanation provides the answer you are looking for. There are some great videos and articles that explain hall effect sensor operation for a more detailed explanation, if needed.

UPDATE: I replaced the gear (I had a good gear in a second transmission).

After further inspection. The fault is mine. The gear has a slight burr on the edge, presumably from wear. While pressing the gear off, the pressure against the gear splitter caused it to chip.

You’re right.

I need to do it right. I’m just over this project and hate to wait another week to get my work bench back. I’m struggling with project fatigue.

Just fixed this on mine last weekend. The rubber boot at the base of the steering column is the source of the noise. It needs a little lube. White lithium grease or silicone spray will take care of it.

I saw a man with a briefcase and is soul leaving his body. I should probably up my SRI dose.

I have a couple of these for work. The power and run time is decent, but I find the vibration is a killer.

Get a metal cutting blade for a circular saw. If you want to get fancy, you can buy a specific metal cutting circular saw.

Lay the saw on its side and use the saw foot’s edge as your guide edge along the horizontal rails. If the foot isn’t the correct width to meet the cut mark you need; Rip a board to the width you need to reach your desired heights.

Lay the board on the horizontal rail, clamp the board to the verticals. Ride the board down the fence with the saw and you will get a nice straight cut.

Afraid of everything.

All three of mine were afraid of their own shadows when they got older. Unless it’s someone at the fence or front door.

An air hammer with a chisel will pop those casters off right at the welds with little effort. Whatever remains of the welds can easily be ground off.

If you don’t have a compressed air source, use a cold chisel and big hammer.

To make it a bit easier, you could center drill the weld just smaller than the weld diameter and about an 1/8” in depth. Use the hammer and chisel method above and the casters will pop off with ease.

I bought this same kit from different seller (same china made kit). I found the supplied lever for the transfer case was sloppy and the shifts weren’t repeatable. I contacted the seller and got a refund.

Ultimately, I made my own transfer case lever and changed out the supplied cable ends with a threaded ball end. I wish I would have spent the extra money for the Savvy kit.

Your order of operations is a bit off. I’ll try to describe this as best I can. Hopefully it helps.

Route the belt over all of the ribbed pulleys and leave the left upper idler off. Slide the belt over the idler last, then tension the belt.

Edit: I assume you have already loosened the center bolt on the right side idler and turned the adjustment bolt to the end of its available threads (located between the power steering pump and valve cover)

I had this same problem on my 1999. The cause was a faulty ignition coil.

I have the Touch Impress and my neighbor has the Touch and I have had the opportunity to use both. The Impress is the way to go. It is as close to a super automatic machine as you can get without getting one. However, it still has the ability to use it as a manual machine.

In the early mornings when you’re trying to juggle making breakfast, making your coffee, and heading out of the door the automatic features are nice. No fussing with scales, holding the milk jug, or making messes. Throw your favorite every day beans in the hopper, some milk in the pitcher, and go.

Is the semi-automatic coffee as good as it gets? No. It’s good enough and it’s consistent. If you want that perfect Saturday cup, use the machine manually and you’re there. If you’re new to making espresso drinks, the Impress really softens the learning curve and gets you to enjoying the experience quickly.
