Funny, that's why I bought my A2. I've just thought of a way to kill 2 birds with one stone. Take that truck off your buddy's hands. You would get some use out of your $15 and if, in 6 mo. you decide it's just not for you, then you sell it. Have you driven it? Go on...

I don't know your area of the country, but you might also contact some veteran organizations/military museums. If you don't need the money, you would certainly get a tax write-off as long as they're a listed charity. I donated my stock tires to a local military museum that's located on a...

I know what you mean, I'm working on a 10x10 camper, and the wood stove I got is way too big (8" x 10" x 17"), but, then I'll be able to boil a pot of water on it, and more importantly it's the smallest wood stove I could find that draws air from outside. It's also kind of nice to bank the...

I like the wood stove, though, you might consider something over the wood just as a safety measure. A piece of steel, brick tiles, etc.

Custom made wheels are steel and legally only rated for off road or farm use, if this matters to you. One issue with military wheels is some tire places won't touch them, again if this matters to you. A tire place that mostly does commercial will probably touch them, something to keep in mind...

I know some people have done this, can you tell me what kind of light it gives you? Can you read by it, find stuff on the floor, etc? Are you satisfied with it, etc.? This is the light, I'm talking about:

Not the same guy, but I recently found this during a search. Not as intricate as the one in this thread, but it shares some similar ideas.

Update: The cab and is fully Dynamat'd, every surface. Also the firewall in the engine. Soundproof Cow's Quiet Barrier has been placed on every vertical surface in the cab, as well as the ceiling. The doors have Dynamat in the lower portion, that you can access under the panel. Previously, I...

I contacted a company that does custom valves that they have a solution for me. My plan is for each tank to maintain a separate line. The plan is to install a lift pump after the valve before the IP pump so whichever tank is active will be pulled by the pump. As to cost, it's $650 for the...

I'm not offended. It just seems some people aren't actually reading my posts before they respond to them. I had written out a long response, but if people aren't reading my posts then it seemed pointless. More than one person has thought this thread is about the issue with the single circuit...

Had a much longer post here, I decided to remove it. Whatever.

Yeah, looking for tanks, they don't always list "working pressure" or "burst pressure". I'm looking at the Haldex 19820 or 19821. Some sellers list 150 as the burst, but Haldex makes them and lists 150 as the working pressure. I figure some sellers just don't have a very detailed description form.

The stock tanks are rated to 250psi. Is this military engineering overkill or is there a reason they need to be so high? Looking around for tanks, I see 150psi is pretty common, 200psi is less common. My solution to driving through smoke is to wear a full face mask with filters.

That's what I thought. I know it won't solve other problems, ie: air pack leaking, still only one circuit system. But in my real life example, it would've come in handy. I am looking towards getting a dual circuit system to address that issue. This would be in addition to that, and not very...

Yeah, I've thought about this. However, I have more imagination and time than money. I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you're saying here. Couple years back, on the freeway, one of my bleeder valves failed. The air warning told me I was low on air. I was in the right lane, and was...

So...I was thinking and hashing out ideas with a friend. What if an additional tank was connected to the air pack, utilizing 1 way valves, such that should an air line spring a leak, this additional tank would provide emergency air for stopping? It would be a redundancy system and activated by...

Once when I was parking on the street to go into a store, a woman pulled over and told me how the truck reminded her of her husband who had passed away and had driven the deuce in the service. That she pulled over only to talk to me told me how much the sight meant to her, then she got back in...

It's Jump Seat 10, from suburbanseats.com

Got sidetracked working on some other upgrades now back to working on the cab - though full disclosure, most of the work is being done by a mechanic friend. Finished up the Dynamat on the interior as well as the engine side firewall. New weatherstripping. Replaced the front seat with HMMT...

It's too hot to do work on the truck. Usually I don't have a good excuse, but the last few days I do.
