I'm gearing up to start the actual camper part of the build so thought I'd start a master thread here. I call it a mini home because it's much more independent than a camper. I'll post links to all that I've done if you really got a lot of time to waste at work. So...I started my process...

This is the kind of cryptic response I'm used to seeing on SS. Kind of surprised you included the "Look up" part.

Little off topic, but I found a paint called Singularity Black that is nanotube based like Vantablack. SB, however, is available to anyone. The process involves heating the paint to 120C after application. It works great on fabric, so, if you want to dress like a ninja... Like some of the...

What is the difference between Aeroglaze Z306 and Aeroglaze Z307? Aeroglaze Z307 is conductive, while Aeroglaze Z306 is not. Conductive paints are used to provide EMI (electromagnetic interference) or RFI (radio frequency interference) shielding to a product. I think I'll stick with Z306...

Vantablack is owned by one guy and not for sale to the public. It's made from nanotubes of graphite.

Looking further into this, there have been 2 cars painted with these super absorbing light paints. However, both were done as publicity stunts and probably never drove more than a few miles in perfect conditions. BMW painted a car with Vantablack, which is not even available to the public, and...

BLACK 2.0 - The world’s mattest, flattest, black art material by Stuar – Culture Hustle USA Granted, it's expensive. Though they do give a discount between sizes, so maybe they would give a discount for volume. What I'm wondering is, would it be looking for trouble or just plain stupid to...

Bumping an old thread because I found a source. I've never ordered from the site, but military-spareparts.com has RT-524 working, tested models for ~$650 including shipping to the US (they're in Greece). Again, I'm not endorsing this site. I just found them through a search, emailed and they...

Went online form with Haggerty, stated that my primary use was utility/offroad/non daily driver, and the form gave me a quote. Mine is a 2007. But, I had some more questions so I decided to call. I mentioned that the variant is a utility vehicle and that's what I was planning on doing with it...

So, for me the hmmwv is a fun vehicle. I have a Subaru wagon that acts as my daily driver, but it's really poor for carrying weight. I also have an M35 that I'm converting into a tiny home so that won't be much use anymore for hauling stuff. Cue the humvee. Now, I don't need a pick-up truck...

I won last Wednesday (1/4), filled out the paperwork and filed everything that night. Arranged the wire transfer that paid on Friday and picked up on Tuesday (1/10). I wasn't there, but the people that picked up for me (had to trailer it) did say that they could've picked up 2 humvees for all...

You have to wait for the EUC before you can pick up? I picked up as soon as I paid. Won on Wed, picked up on Tues. They told me it would be a few weeks for the SF97.

Thanks for the reasoned response. Feels like I'm on Reddit. I used to race (on the amateur level), strictly on pavement. A stiffer sidewall does help with cornering, to avoid tire roll. This is not to say that the additional weight of a run flat didn't also have a detrimental effect to...

Excuse my ignorance, but what are the advantages to removing run flats? I probably won't stick with run flats when my tires wear out, but why go to the trouble to remove them? Besides the run flat ability, they also increase the stiffness of the sidewall which helps in cornering.

Yeah, I'm really pleased with the condition. Some of these get auctioned without 4 doors, so that was a plus even if one is tan. It was actually a non-runner so it went cheap. But once some fuel went in, it started right up. Still checking it out to see about the rest.

Yep. The R stands for Recapitalization. If you're not familiar with this program, here's a brochure. I know that it originally would've been an earlier model year, but officially it's legally now a 2007. Found some paperwork in the cab from 1991, but I haven't looked too closely at it yet.

I just bought a 2007 M1097R1. I also own a 1971 M35A2, that I've had for 6 years. I'm not shy about asking questions, even if they sound dumb. If you don't like people that are newbies you're probably gonna want to avoid my threads. In the short term, I have to replace the fuel tank -...

Just picked up a M1097R1 today. I'm in Bellingham. I'll let you know how it goes.

As soon as my build is done, I plan on putting some ridiculous price on it, like $200k. Not that I'm interested in selling, but every man's got a price and if someone wants to pay that kind of money, I'd be happy to sell. Then I could buy a 7 ton and start over!

Sound insulation can knock that sound down quite handily. I knocked 40 db off when I put sound insulation in the cab of my deuce. And twice that number for shipping.
