That's why I'll be putting in a Red Dot A/C system for the camper. I'll have solar panels on the roof and in the years I've been looking, more wind systems have come on the market.

I go to car shows and still tell people you can get into a driveable, stock one for $5k or less, it's all the extras that drive the cost up. I also tell people that there's no such thing as a Deuce with nothing wrong with it. This partly reflects the age of these vehicles but also reflects how...

I originally bought my set of 10 as surplus from the gov't. Later when I switched back to duallies, I sold them locally. I do see some from time to time on my local Craigslist. If you're not in a hurry you can build up a set over time, or keep an eye out here, in the classifieds or on CL for...

That's always been the plan. I also plan on having A/C in the camper though that will run off a 14,400 watt, 24v battery. Seems like anywhere outside of the Pacific NW, now, is hell on earth.

I'm just finishing my swap and I won't be changing to increase the speed. Having more power to go uphill or off road in low gear, reliability of an engine known worldwide, and engine longevity were reasons enough for me to swap. I'm hoping to have better fuel mileage but I'll have to run some...

So...mostly done. Had some setbacks, because my swap included some other work and the mechanic has some health problems we just weren't moving fast enough for the shop owner who, decided to kick us out. Unfortunately, we really couldn't move the truck until the radiator was hooked up and my...

Fenders are back on. Dry fitting the radiator, intercooler, & condenser. Moved the dipstick a little further forward. What seemed like a lot of extra room with this engine is quickly filling up and getting a little difficult to work with. The fan is a little low, moves plenty of air, gonna...

Moving along, slowly. Some parts take a while to find when you don't have the part #... In one of the pics, you'll see someone ground off one of the part numbers, I have no idea why. This gear needed replacing because the teeth were chipped in the back - the mechanic surmised it may have been...

If I had more money, I would be serious. As it is, I mostly daydream with my eyes open for a deal.

Very small, like my budget. I can't afford a Chieftan, a Leopard or anything "main battle" tank'ish. I could afford something like a Priest, but those are so old. This is at least a modern tank and still in use with a handful of countries. If I could've gotten it cheap enough (because...

There are some CAD drawings on here that have what you need, you can also look up the government NSN # for more detail. There was a post here not too long ago looking for these very things and got replies including one by me. I had custom wheels drilled so the drawings and data are good. Hate...

Did you also walk up hill, to school, both ways?

One sold at an auction in France on 4/3. Anyone here get it? I put in a bid based on the pre auction estimate (10k - 20k Euro), but it quickly went out of sight beyond my meager budget. With premium, it sold for around 51k Euro.

At least it's a proper colour now!

Started paint.

Never thought to take one. Right now the front end is in pieces. The ladder is a boat ladder, got it off Amazon.

I'll just leave this here...

Let's go with the tougher part - though I didn't even bother looking at paints. Maybe there is a paint that would be better. I just figured that bed liner is generally considered pretty tough stuff and can take dings w/out scratching. It's also possible that one way or another I may remove the...

I don't post here much anymore because almost everything I'm doing is a major modification, but this time... So, I plan on building a teeny, tiny home in the back, but thought it would be good to put some spray on (roll-on) bed liner just as a sealer in the event when (not if) water gets under...

People who bob, sometimes go with the 53"
