    outage

    You Southern boys don't really understand ice fishing. You see you have this shack you tow out on the lake but it is what is in the shack that counts! Honda EU2000 generator, Satellite receiver, TV, couple lounge chairs, heater. The floor is the fridge so no worries there. YUP, We be fishin'...

    outage

    Hey Doghead, need an ice fishing partner? I'll come back to this in the spring when the supernerds are done showing off. If I am ice fishing I can't get any of it on my dumb phone.

    Help with Death Shake/Wobble

    You are going to get all the same "EXPERTS" as any other thread. That is why I no longer post on here about this problem. By the way, there is no track bar on a CUCV.

    would you recommend a military vehicle for a small hauling business?

    Good point, You will need commercial insurance no matter what because you are hauling for profit. I get the feeling that was what he might be trying to avoid.

    would you recommend a military vehicle for a small hauling business?

    In any business reliability and parts availability is everything. I don't think you have either with the military truck plus the parts, when you find them, will be expensive. I second the pick-up and trailer. Does not really have to be diesel, when you compare the price of gas to diesel and then...

    MEP-002 Cranks but won't Start

    Both of mine peg the gauge when it is first started and then drop down to about 30 lbs. as it warms up.

    MEP-002 Cranks but won't Start

    Looking at that picture again I see that the generator head is towards the tongue and it also looks like the engine is ahead of the axle as well with only the control unit on the back side of the axle. If that is the case you probably could mount a fairly large tank on the back. Problem is that...

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    I could see him putting tracks on it but knowing how much Soni loves his steel plate I don't think you will ever see amphibious or VTOL.:-D

    MEP-002 Cranks but won't Start

    You have room front and back, why don't you think about two tanks but have them plumbed together so that they empty at the same rate and therefore keep the load balanced. All it would take is a 1/4 inch line between the two tanks and that would even out the level but not allow a rapid transfer...

    MEP-002 Cranks but won't Start

    50 gallons of fuel forward of the unit adds 350lbs of weight to the tongue of the trailer!! You may want to rethink that and go with multiple smaller tanks distributed evenly.

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    This is exactly why I have followed Soni's work for many years. PLUS, he is doing it outside! No garage here. How many of you guys build something like this in the winter outside?

    My truck was stuck at the beach & I can't get it started.

    Can I suggest this thread be deleted or moved elsewhere? When I see HELP I jump right to it only to find a post that is months old. Not much I can do to help there. Rick

    Needle gun/Scaling gun

    You can get the same one as above from Harbor freight cheaper. Yea, I know where it is made but it works and they sell the needle kits. I can buy four of those guns before coming close to the price of an American one. I save that money for the impact guns and hand tools, US made only!

    Needle gun/Scaling gun

    Great for knocking rust off of frames. WEAR EAR AND EYE PROTECTION! You will need a healthy size compressor or a large air tank.

    biggest pintel trailer (aka pintle,pintail,pinal,pinto,etc)

    Man I would not want to keep that thing in tires!!! I figure those fronts will last 5,000 miles if not doing any city driving. And you better have a healthy air brake system.

    biggest pintel trailer (aka pintle,pintail,pinal,pinto,etc)

    30,000 lbs, plus with a pintle! WOW. You know, there are some jobs that regardless how bad you want to do them cheaply you have to realize that there is no way to do so safely. This is a job for people with experience in moving not only heavy loads but heavy WHEELED loads that, if not secured...
