Hey Uncle Mikey, Awesome job you have done yet again! Any chance you could give us a nice pic of the passenger side of the rig, and also, a pic or two of the stairs/ladder/whatever you use to access that platform on the driver side of the camper box. From the door location I'm guessing you...

Just wondering: How much does that battery weigh? Where are you planning on putting/installing it? What does something like that cost? What kind of life expectancy do you have for it (until replacement)?

I'm not sure exactly what the "Add to this users Rep power" button does but I believe it is a good thing. I also believe most people don't think of using that button, so in a case like this, where you have a relatively new member offering a literal truck load of stuff to members for free...

Thanks for posting that! I'm sure it will be useful for someone! You can get the 1" pin as noted in post #21 at the top of page 3 of this thread. For the "Clip" you need for the 1 1/2" pin (Although I always prefer mil-spec parts when possible) I think your probably pretty safe using a...

I checked the TM ( http://www.liberatedmanuals.com/TM-9-2320-272-24-1.pdf ) and did not see it. (I don't think it is in there but I did take a look for it). The bed is 20' so I am GUESSING/ESTIMATING that from behind the cab to the end of the frame rails is approximately the same. If I...

You forgot!!!! It is imperative that the front of the truck be pointing North when you paint the front bumper or else your starter will fail. As insurance you should wear some old green army fatigues and have Jimmy Hendricks or Black Sabbath on the radio while the op commences. (If you have an...

If you look at all the wars throughout history a fixed position can almost always be taken. "Shelter in place" does certainly have it's place and in many cases a lot of merit but you also need an evacuation/go mobile plan. I am assuming this conversation is all about the evac/mobile segment of...

Great info! I just called JWhering. He did in fact import a truck from Hawaii. He said by the time it was all over he had decided that even if they are giving the truck away he is not ever interested in doing that again. Way to much hassle and the cost was .... well let just say very high...

No offense taken, valid question. However, in this instance, I am going to hold my response to this question for ... um... now.

Shipping a truck from Saint Thomas and or Saint Croix: Has anybody done this? My main question at this time is any idea at all how much it cost? I did look at the GL suggested shipping page and they have nothing for these locations. So the next questions is who do you contact to have this...

I really need to know if I can put 1600x20's on it, and can I change the gears to make it go 75mph? Also, is there anybody that can recover it for me and hold it until I am ready to pick it up myself? What kind of tools will I need when I go recover it? Will I need a CDL? I have a friend...

Could somebody translate that into some form of stupid that maybe I can understand? I mean 400 hp from a 3.2L engine sounds good but the rest of that.....

Looking very nice! - Subscribed!

What sort of information? I mean are you looking to purchase something like this? If so, for what use? What kind of budget do you have in mind? What country are you going to use the thing in? (All of that matters and will help others provide not just general information for you, but...

Holy English, spelling and grammar lesson Bat Man! Is it just me or was reading that difficult and painful? Please invest a few minutes in running spell check and proof read your posts. I'll not even ask why a diesel mechanic needs to ask how/what to do here.
