You better show up this year, Giggles...

If it's a permanent modification, I'd look at van bodies. Also, XPS foam is great for insulation, inexpensive, and sturdy enough to use as doors/walls in the proper thickness, for semi-permanent applications.

So many people wanna be 'right', they neglect to realize that the objective is to educate and share understanding. A discussion without data/evidence/proof is pretty meaningless. I learned the FMTV lighting system is 12V, when I incorrectly assumed it was 24V like 'everything else', because I...

Thanks for the clarification, haven't dived into their lighting circuits... No. LEDs emit light totally differently than incandescent bulbs do. Incandescent bulbs put out light across the visible spectrum, and the filter just blocks other wavelengths. An LED only puts out a narrow spectrum...

I dropped some coin on a 3/4" Milwuakee M18 impact.... Been slowly trying to build my tool collection back up after being homeless for years... Tried it on the deuce lugnuts... zipped them right off... 1400 ft lbs is no slouch, and since it's the ONE KEY, I can go into the app on my phone...

Two things. You don't use white LED bulbs behind colored lenses. Those bulbs say they're 12V..... Does the LMTV use 12V wiring for its lighting?

Simple setup. Stop making it complicated... 940nm LED emitters 940nm capable camera Small monitor in cab All cheaply and easily available on eBay, Amazon, etc.

My 934 was a different beast... Although, the last part was the same.. ;)

Only problem is, pulling them up while you're already inside.. I learned how fun it was to pull in the hard stairs every night, to secure access to the truck, from INSIDE the truck... :D These were the steel stairs, not the aluminum ones...

You brought up a 7 yr old thread to complain about the phrasing on a warning placard ? :rolleyes:

So, I did a ghetto fix.... So, I didn't know why I was losing prime after sitting overnight.. turns out it's the throttle shaft seal .... and I toasted a starter after trying to crank so long. I don't have the time/money to replace the IP right now, and there's no point in doing 80% of the...

Ohhh.. duh....Yeah, I'm thinking you're comparing an equipped M1031 with an equipped M1010. I think you're right... I think it's the SECM box (without gen/components) that weighs around 800, and the M1010 box was around 1800 or so.. I know I did the math in another thread.... hah Edit: Found...

That curb weight for the 1031 is just for the cab/chassis, not including the SECM box, gen, compressor, welder, etc.

It's steel frame with aluminum skin... Around 800lbs IIRC

There already is that letter, I know I've posted it numerous times, as have others. NHTSA basically said 'it's exempt, therefore complies'.

Lots of us are used to working on our own stuff, but not all of us are wise in the ways of tools, shop equipment, tips/tricks, etc. Maintenance is a huge part of the hobby, heh, and I think a section where we can talk about what tools we use, or answer questions that others have about the best...

I guess that answers that question. It'd probably be about 3k lbs total, when finished.. maybe 4 tops... so should be just fine then. I might have some stops welded front/rear to stop any potential movement going uphill or emergency braking.

OK, so, not sure if you noticed, but on quite a bit of equipment, including the deuces and 5 tons with beds and comm/electrical boxes, there's a strip of wood, usually ~1/2-3/4" thick, that is put between the frame rail, and the frame of the box/bed. I've been told a couple things, maybe some...

You found red flush mount 40W LEDs?

Mounted way too high to be fog lights.
