    How to lock up / secure a M35 A3 ?

    I too had thought that if I eventually end up with a M35/M36 I would too had simply hide a heavy-duty disconnect somewhere well out of view (in the boot area underneath dashboard is a little too 'obvious' to me but mm) and leave it at that. plus just to top that off on my engine belt there'll...

    alternators and water..

    how bad would ten seconds submersion at rare times had been for conventional (air-cooled open shell type) alternator providing it was a rural source with relatively clear water? not looking to literally try ford anything but this is more of in name of crossing a small active river thats like...

    Getting started from scratch with a Deuce in 2024?

    I guess the only one small caveat toward what @HDN said is, air-over-hydraulic brakes is still considered hydraulic brakes in many places but pure air brakesystems on the other hand legally requires an extra endorsement on your driving license regardless of your vehicle's weightdata plates

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    as someone might had jokingly said "if it doesn't fit take a sledgehammer to it to make it FIT!", of course the permanent damage to both objects afterward might be a possible issue!

    M1088 camper conversion

    @coachgeo its unrelated (of a different topic nature) but the vintage canal boats in england etc needed a diamond-hardy drill for if you wanted to ever make a hole in them as they were built out of real iron compared to being able to pretty much use any lazy drills [relatively speaking] on the...

    Getting started from scratch with a Deuce in 2024?

    welcome @kurtomatic and I too have liked the M35, and if you didn't know this before a M36 is basically a stretched-a-few-feet-longer M35 as otherwise basically its all the same parts (minus the extended chassis frame itself and whatever makes up the bed load) just be mindful that as much as...

    The right to travel

    this is another take on the similar kind of 'nope you are not going for a normal drive in that!' problem here https://avmq.org/?page_id=568&lang=en and the second photo is rather insulting if you ask me, I have the same problem with banning a 19 years old rustfree museum-worthy sedan import...

    me being realistic about an old G-wagen?

    looking back at that topic I started about tires (previously-unknown-to-me Nexen tires was quite interesting) I was thinking a bit this afternoon about if I did really want to again think about eventually buying a G-wagen or not so, tell me if I'm too off with anything or this sounds fair; ~...

    M816 Wrecker Tire Conversion

    @msgjd I did wonder a bit about that the front and back seem a little different to me but I wasn't too sure how, what you said doesn't surprise me tho as sometimes some things just seem to go together like as if they were meant to (i've seen a few reddit photos of a van body being mashed into a...

    sealed switches.. (in North America)

    interesting, for a little awhile I did wonder about how well marine panels might do under a much different operating condition aka on an on&off-road vehicle instead, since I knew of a few particular marine brands such as Blue Sea Systems or for one example here...

    US Parts Source for Unimog?

    M816 Wrecker Tire Conversion

    Its maybe me but I'm not too comfortable with the idea of super singles except perhaps only on 2-axle or better 3-axle trailers alone. theres many more that can go wrong with a driver-mounted super single compared to what could happen to conventional duals in my view?

    sealed switches.. (in North America)

    thanks @NY Tom and sorry about not being descriptive as I was just simply looking around for now knowing that I didn't want bare/exposed switch assemblies considering the possible uses it would get not to mention less of wet/dirty hands slamming for the other aux lamp to come on, etc. and hm I...

    M816 Wrecker Tire Conversion

    welcome @TNR1 , can't help you with tires myself but I'm sure many others will soon give you some assistance. and by the way I had to chuckle when I saw what the door said, hicks! good luck with that "battle-hardened" truck, it sure does look like it could still keep going and going.

    sealed switches.. (in North America)

    that is I had been looking on&off for quite some time and so far just have NKK and Carling Technologies discovered, so now that I've finally decided to sign up here I thought I'll ask if anyone else around knew who else manufactured these kind of climate-rugged switches? I'm particular to...
