I have 4 traction boards on my rig, I do think they’re worth carrying. In addition to leveling my truck for the roof tent, and use as a base for my hi lift, They’ve saved me a lot of digging when snow wheeling, and that’s when I find I use them most, but I’ve also used them as ramps to get up rock steps or to bridge gaps in the bigger rocks, cause I’m still on small tires with bad approach and departure angles. I find them to be a useful tool with some creativity. This winter I intend to try digging a deadman anchor in the snow with them and some rebar stakes, see if the snow can take the shear load of a winch pull. If so, all the more reason to carry them to me. I can see why y’all don’t really mess around with them, but I will continue to.

For your air line issue, switch to Camozzi brand fittings. They're made of metal and designed to handle the heat plus they'll work with the air line you're currently using. We use them on production MIG welding machines, which is a very nasty environment and usually run them 24 hours a day.

@deathshank1937 Жыл бұрын

Sounds like the ones on our robots at work. We cast aluminum car parts at 1200 degrees. The extraction robot has held up so much better with the metal fitting compared to the plastic ones. Even with a burn sleeve on the lines the plastic ones would not hold up. Metal fitting with a metal lock was night and day difference from the plastic with plastic lock.

@SilasSKnott Жыл бұрын

Mechanic and engineering student here. Never posted to your comments before but have watched almost religiously and really appreciate all of what you guys do. I have a simple solution the the header's heat problems both short and long term, you really should cut and install some ventilation in the top of the hood. I'm sure that if you could see the under hood temps with a thermal gun while it is under heavy load you would see an "air dam" where heat builds up in the back near the top. This would put a lot of heat right into where those locker lines are routed. A vented hood along with wrapping the headers should provide plenty of heat dissipation to prevent further damage to the lines/ other sensitive components under hood. Just some input from a fan with a bit of experience with heat management issues.

@kingcosworth2643 Жыл бұрын

What you do to save cutting holes in your sheet metal, is to adjust the rear of your bonnet (hood) up about half an inch when it is in the closed position. This allows fresh, cold air into your engine bay from the windscreen area. But I would do that as a last resort as not to change the aesthetics of the vehicle. First action would be wrapping, next would be ceramic coating and wrapping, third would be all this and stainless heat shields.

@vivalesvegas Жыл бұрын

I’ve just posted higher up, but what are your thoughts on cooling fins on the headers? Seeing as they’re open to the elements anyway in Matt’s application, my theory is they may help heat dissipation. May still need a heat shield for the air lines though. My thinking is that I’ve seen some motorcycles that have fins on exhausts manifold to head connections. They’re not very big, and are more like clamps than anything else, but I presume they’re more functional than aesthetic.

@SilasSKnott Жыл бұрын

@vivalesvegas We want less heat to come off of the headers. Those fins work well, though I've only ever seen them on air-cooled motorcycles where removing heat from the motor is typically limited by the surface area of said motor. In Matt's case, there is too much heat coming off of the exhaust already, so it would have the opposite effect of what's intended. Ceramic coating and header wrap both prevent as much heat from radiating out of the exhaust, though I still think venting the hood will be necessary long-term.

@ctrl_agent_86 Жыл бұрын

Concur. The problem isn't the header temp, the problem is the heat build up at slow speed (insufficient airflow to keep the firewall cool). Fans could help, but will push the wrong direction at high speed and reduce cooling. Either louver the hood as Silas said or add a heat shield that forces the rising hot air out the side. Maybe both. It's a heat buildup problem so I'm not entirely certain the header wrap will help enough, but it's an easy place to start.

Matt, I wish I would have had a set of those bunny boards in August 1980 in Sierras mountains. When I buried the back end of my 1960 CJ5 with small block vette motor on an under ground spring. Locked in the hubs and buried it to further. As I reached down to pop the lid up on the storage under the right sear. When Tall, dark and hairy took to roaring at us. He didn't us tearing around his forrest. We were bird hunting and only had 12ga. bird shot and three guns. My buddy handed me my pump gun and I said let's go. He said F. orget you. It took off up the stand tearing the forest up. I ran parallel to it on the dirt road. It acrossed ahead of me into the next stand. 2 1/2 hours later it caused a flock of doves to burst from a tree at the top of the road where it turned to the right, where it crossed with a boom, boom, crash, crash, crash. During that 2 1/2 hrs I sent rocked to China. Almost out now. Not enough winch cable to double line to a tree. Vietnam Entrenching and a Jack. Yes I would take the bunny boards. Broken right front axle was found later. My buddy never said a word again or during that except F orget you I am not leaving the ammo box and the guns. Cheers Club of No Return !

Peanut is completely dedicated to Matt. She wants to be where he is, she's grateful and I think that her rough start in life and then taken in a pack (And I mean a pack like dogs live in but the domesticated dogs see humans as pack members too) got to her so deeply and is so grateful for that, that she is willing to do everything to just please and is a decently sensitive dog. I a way I see some Border Collie mix in her. I see in her things of a dog I had once who isn't here anymore sadly but watching Peanut living life makes my heart swell and some very happy memories make me smile with a little teardrop in the corner of my eye..

I had a dog that when she saw the car get loaded for a trip, would jump in the back and point blank refuse to come out least she be left behind. Not that we'd go on a trip without her. That dog was an English Setter. Twenty five years on I have a Miniature Schnauzer that doesn't react to the word 'Walkies'! When I take her out for a late evening walk through a vineyard, our two cats insist on coming with us, and they definitely know when it's time and start rushing about, so I guess Miniature Schnauzers are not the world's most intelligent dogs. Not by a country mile!

After using traction boards last weekend to get up a dune, no, you're probably not stuck but that doesnt mean they dont have their uses! Numerous times I've seen you pull a car against mud, I reckon if you put a traction board or two down, you might have had a chance to pop it up on top of it without as much stress on the vehicles. Sucks to pull them up after though haha

@calholli Жыл бұрын

Matt.. You can wrap those headers and put a little metal shield above them and it would be more than enough to cool everything down. Even more extreme, you could rig up a fan on each side -- to blow the heat out of that open fender wells. Also another good upgrade would be to put shut off valves right at all of your four corners--- that way when there's a leak; you can simply pump everything up as it needs to be, and then shut all your valves so that it holds in the pressure at the bags and you can still make it home and fix the leak at the shop, rather than being stuck on the trail.

Agreed. The wrap is inexpensive and VERY effective. So is the heat shield. Summit will have both. I've used both on a 1999 Pajero (MOntero) with an engine swap and headers. No more cooking feet. The other thing to do is to get the headers ceramic coated. Also very effective. Here in Oz, heat is an issue.

@IllutianKade Жыл бұрын

Well, about the temps. I know next to nothing about engines and 'mechanic stuff'. But I do build my own PCs, and there's a lot of problems with cooling if you go with an 'open case' design. Especially when fan placement isn't modified to account for poorer air flow. -- You typically set it up so 'outside' air is pulled in from the lower section of the case and then 'inside' air is sucked out either from the top-back or top. With an open case, the air just goes where ever and you end up with components near the CPU getting way hotter than normal because air flow is now near nonexistent around them. I would say that the same issue is happening here. People are saying to use different brands of fittings. But they seem to miss the part where you're saying even the electrical wire AND FRAME is hot (probably 'ambient temp' plus 10 degrees since you're still touching it and not recoiling in pain). -- The frame being hot isn't that bad because it's probably being caused by the hot sections of the engine being so close. But the electrical...ya. Really need to not have that. Just looking at some photos of the Wrecker....you might be able to vent slots on the hood and maybe use some radiator fans to force air in through the side vents and another pair to suck the air out on the proposed hood vents.

You can either have your exhaust headers coated to keep the heat in or wrap them with high-temp wrapping material. Coating is more expensive but it's very thin (~1mm). Quite useful when there is little room to the frame - often done on the Lamborghini Countach for that reason. Another way to get rid of the heat would be good old-fashioned hole-drilling.

You should wrap the headers to reduce the radiant heat that comes off them, keeps it more inside the pipe and going out the back, and it also helps prevent getting burned by them when working around them.

Matt,, in addressing the heating issues from the headers with the wrecker, you should consider fabricating a sheet metal box to encompass the electricals and the airlines. Allow airspace between the sheet metal and components, and use R13 fiberglass insulation in that airspace.. also wrap the headers and your problem will be over! 😅😊😊

My brother and I started digging out in front of the rear wheels, Mom emptied the cooler melt water down the sand ramps to firm it up. We had a parchesse board in the back that got ripped in two and shoved down the ramps. She had no trouble getting off the shoulder using this method and sad to say the gameboard got left at the beach. We were definitely stuck for a hot minute and she was not stopping once we got rolling.

Matt, you may want to try wrapping those air connections with self-fusing silicone tape. That would insulate them from the heat while holding the connections in place and I believe would fix your problem. The tape can be cut off if you need access to the connections, and it would be much cheaper and easier than addressing the exhaust. Once you start using the tape, you'll wonder where it's been all your life.
