    What do you build?

    The tub is aluminum, about 3/32", it is made in Canada. Quality is excellent. All the steel tubs that are sold are made in the Phillipines and quality is horrible. I wanted aluminum fenders but GenRight no longer manufactures the front in aluminum. Total weight should still be around 3,000lbs...

    What do you build?

    I got to work on the Scrambler a little bit. Picked up the Chevy Performance LS-3 crate engine, 4L70e transmission, torque converter, computers and harnesses a couple weeks ago. The GenRight 6" fenders finally came in yesterday but the Atlas 2 transfer case won't ship until May 31st. I decided...

    The one the coal company acquired from you is running an inverter with a roof top A/C unit on the original alternator.

    Wow! He sold me my first MV, my LMTV. It was one of the first ones that was released. We talked off and on. He told me stories of his father flying the SR-71 Blackbirds. He was a good guy. Sorry to hear this. Dave

    I think I want one of these FMTV

    For assisting in a search for vehicles, FMTV is Family Medium Tactical Vehicles in which it incapsulates both 2.5 ton and 5 ton trucks. MTV is Medium Tactical Vehicle which is the 5 ton, dual rear axle truck. LMTV is Light Medium Tactical Vehicle which is the 2.5 ton, single rear axle truck. Dave

    Caiman MRAP guidance on activating all the chassis systems.

    I can not. I'm going by memory of a two year old conversation in which I were going to acquire some. In that conversation I was given that information about a Cat tech. Have you had a conversation with Caterpillar yet? Dave

    Registering 5-ton in WV

    I had two that I just got rid of. I simply took the SF-97's to DMV and got titles for them. I wanted antique plates which are limited to 10,000lbs on 25+ year old vehicles so the lady at DMV put the weight at 10k and told me not to use it commercially. Lol. Antique plates are $3.50 a year and...

    Caiman MRAP guidance on activating all the chassis systems.

    If I remember correctly from what I understand, BAE had them in a particular mode for manufacturing that only allows first and reverse gears. I thought a Cat technician could connect and "unlock" the mode for regular operation. Again, I am trying to go from memory from a long time ago and I'm...
