Howdy, I have installed the ignition switch and one of the things I like about "Those Military Guys" is that they give you everything you need to install the switch. Works great! Tom

Howdy, Have you seen this method of rust removal? I have used it very successfully! Electrolysis >>> Remember that this process gases off explosive hydrogen! This is used on a chrome part! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KA7wVTW1Oo And... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOx5URgjTiU...

Howdy, I was referring to the practice of using a handheld spray can. After all the great male idiom of "if a little is good then a LOT Must be GREAT ;-) is very well and alive in my personal experience! YMMV, Tom

Now that is very possible as it was in the range of 1985 - 1995! I wonder if anyone has tried it recently? tom n tyler

Howdy, I have used WD40 to start marine diesels several times. A diesel mechanic told me that either was really to explosive if used incorrectly and that WD40 was safer for an amateur to spray and pray ;-) Of course we were not worrying about cold weather but the flip side is that it is much...

Howdy, In my linked NV DMV document at the top of page 4 the following exemptions are listed; there may be additional exemptions in the NRS. The bottom line for me is that it was worth the time for me to talk to several official sources to clearly understand my state's requirements for...

Howdy, I may have misunderstood when I was told you have to take an air brake test as well as a the Class B test. Perhaps it is not a separate endorsement. I hope to start the process soon and I'll confirm this when I can. Thanks, Tom

Enforcement vs Taxation Howdy, First of all I want to apologize to silverstate55 for my surly tone in my reply to his initial message. I was in fact also wrong in my statement and silverstate55 was correct in his! I should have also made it clear that I was stating my experience and...

Thanks silverstate55! I'll have to do some more research on this subject... It is very hard to separate the wheat from the chaff at the DMV. I made a very concerted effort to correctly register and insure my truck (private use, non-commercial full coverage) and this is very concerning to me...

This is not correct in NV! You can designate a maximum GVWR of 26,000 pounds and you will not be required to have any endorsements (e.g., air-brake endorsement required if over 26,000 pound) and a Class C driver's license is all that is required. I personally confirmed this at the Carson City...

Howdy CPDOG, That is exactly what I have in mind including the ramp along side of the passenger side of the truck! The passenger side door ramp (providing dog access to the cab) may be removable. Thanks for your thoughts. Tom

Howdy Nomadic, I am building my unit based on the assumption of 100% powered by solar which is not to hard or expensive today. I have room for at least 800 watts of solar panels on the roof of my box with room to spare. I plan on initially having a small generator (2000 watt) along but with...

Howdy, The following is just my personal opinion and YMMV! My personal experience with small ocean going boats (both sail and power) is that large windows greatly weaken the structure of the boat and can lead to more flexing and the expected results. I have personally been aboard sailboats...

Howdy Nomadic, I must have gotten confused with my replies yesterday as I replied on my thread, bottom of the second page: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?157575-Mounting-a-Craig-box-on-a-923-a2/page2 tom n tyler

Howdy, exssdru, I'm working on the cab gangway first as it will only be 6-7 steps and I then I will build the 12 foot version for the back. I'm planning on building both sets of steps with a 6" riser to aid my Golden and me getting up and down! Here is the current design I'm trying to...

Howdy exssdru, I am not an expert by any means and this mounting design is just my idea based on a desire to reduce stress to the box. I wanted to make sure that my box was not fighting the bed/frame flexing. So far I have had no problems as you can seen in the pictures above I am getting...

For further info about my project please see: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?161814-923-a2-No-water-separator Suprman, Do you know exactly what the function of the valve in picture #1 of the above post does? I hope to completely trace it out this weekend as there are several...

Thanks everyone! Ill use a small handheld bicycle pump for the task. 86m1028, I have read that the tank vents are routinely blocked for this to work, typically where the vent manifold line goes into the intake pipe. I'm planning on capping the two vents at the tank as I want to shorten and...
