Welcome to Steel Soldiers! Congratulations on your acquisition! :-D My wife loves her M422! :driver:

August and September typically don't have too many MV or reenactor events due to the oppressive heat, humidity, and daily afternoon showers. Unfortunately, I don't know of any events during your vacation. The next event I will coordinate is the Veteran's Day Parade on 11/8. The Steel Soldiers...

Welcome to the Green Iron Laughing Academy!! :mrgreen: :driver: :jumpin: :cookoo: I coordinate events in the Orlando area. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?114068-Central-Florida-Events-Mailing-List&highlight= I know that Orlando is over 100 miles from St. Pete. Made the trip...

Keep your M936. Compute the vehicle weight in aluminum scrap, determine what the 6.5L and Allison transmission are worth to you, and offer that amount to the owner. If he says no, walk away. The owner lied to you once. He will lie again.

Nice work! [thumbzup]

Is anyone else interested in knowing about events happening around Central Florida?

Keeping water out of the cab is a PITA. I had rain running all along the front floorboards. I spent $350 to have the windshield replaced, with the hope that my floorboards would remain dry during a thunderstorm. It helped, but didn't solve the problem. My father-in-law redesigned the way water...

It is possible to hoist an antenna up 60+ feet without using an antenna mast. Use a compound bow with an arrow painted bright orange. Have someone hold an old fishing pole near the bow. Zip tie the fishing line to the arrow. Shoot the arrow in a parabolic arc over a tall tree. There are plenty...

I'm a ham radio operator and I volunteer with an ARES/RACES (Amateur Radio Emergency Services) Group in Central Florida. Are there any ARES/RACES Groups, amateur radio clubs, or emergency response clubs near Union Point that would be willing to volunteer their communications expertise (and...

Hi, I’m ODFever. I have a few suggestions for the MKT. Lunch & Dinner: cold subs such as turkey and bacon, ham, capicolla, salami, and roast beef. Limit the cheeses to provolone, American, and Swiss. Put the sub toppings on the side and make a ‘build your own sub’ bar on a small table. Put...

This thread touched on some very sore spots with me (LITERALLY). I rarely get this worked up over a thread, but this one got me going. :soapbox: To the OP: Please consider how your actions could impact the lives of others. When I was 11 years old, I was in a very serious car accident that...

I've towed 4,000+ lbs with my M1009. I have a few tips for you, and some 'food for thought'. Take your truck to a reputable hitch installer and have them mount a Class III hitch on your truck (if you don't already have one). Please read post #5 and #11 from this thread to see pictures of my...

As you can see from the pictures, we cut a hole in the cowl with a Dremel to install the vent line. After we installed the dryer vent line, we insulated it. The A/C works so well that sometimes I actually have to set the fan to a lower speed because it's so cold! :-)

My father-in-law and I had to rebuild my A/C system again. The gaskets on the back of my HR-6 compressor were shot, and blew out a substantial amount of R-12. :-( I wanted to use the 3 cans of Freeze 12 I had in my garage. We evacuated the system, and attempted to charge it with the Freeze 12...

Bump

Glad it was an easy and cheap fix. :beer:

Replace all of your vacuum lines. If that doesn't help, temporarily bypass the vacuum modulator. If you still have problems after bypassing the vacuum modulator, replace the transmission vacuum modulator.

Mainsail - I just installed a NMO trunk mount on the passenger side of my M1009. I plan on putting a dual band antenna on it so I can use my Yaesu FT-7800R dual band in the truck. My concern is signal radiation being sent straight into the cab. I'm VERY interested in the antenna mast for your 2m...
