That's for portables, not mobiles. Only 8w power handling with TNC connector.

The military wide band antennas are junk. SWR is usually 3:1 or more and 'gain' is usually measured in the negative... Almost better off with a 1/4 wave or 1/2 wave on an NMO mount.. but you lose that military look. Just about any military UHF antenna you find is gonna be for satellite work.

Not sure if serious... but... A Parish is like a county..... Like Boroughs of NYC = county...

Nice. Should help keep it warmer in the winter, too. I used peel and seal to soundproof my CUCV, and it was really good. Basically a thinner dynamat at a fraction of the cost.

The federal Q2, which is THE STANDARD when it comes to mechanical sirens, will pull about 100A +/-..... at 12V... The ones you have are smaller mechanical sirens, and 24V and not 12V, but I'd still expect 25A @ 24V...

IDA is bad. Remember, you're on your own, for the most part. Don't be a hero, and don't try to be politically correct. If things don't feel right, LEAVE...

It's gonna be real bad. Traveled about 60 miles inland, only mildly dropped in intensity, in about 8 hours... That's super slow. NOLA is without power, they only have their own generators to power pumps instead of the normal grid system..... People are idiots, as usual, and driving through...

Yup. There are rulings that show that they're exempt, and therefore comply. The states that ban them look at it backwards, saying the must NOT comply because they're exempt.

To expand on that.... A truck weighing 30Klbs.... with 10 aired down G272s = 1,470 sq in of area. So, we take 30K and divide by the 1,470, and you get 17.2413793103 ... So, ~17 PSI For contrast, the average human foot exerts ~6-16 PSI depending on standing, running, etc. Contrast that to 6...

They claim 'it's all about safety', and demand FMVSS compliance... When some of these trucks were built before FMVSS.... They'll register a Model T, but not a deuce (in MD, for example). It has nothing to do with 'safety', has to do with control.

That's why I mentioned contact area. 2x 1200s have larger patch area than 1x 395. In sand, a single 1200r20 is 147² in contact, and a 395 is 220² in footprint. While dualled 1200R20s dropped to low pressure aren't suggested due to tire rub, it's definitely doable. So, 147 *4 = 588² in...

It really depends on your state, how your licensing agencies deal with things, and whether or not the agent you're dealing with has had their beauty sleep. I've processed a ton of SF-97s in 2 states with no issues. Military vehicles in general are starting to get the eye of freedom hating...

Exactly this! 1200r20s in dual configuration actually have higher load capacity and more ground contact area than a single 395. This is what you need in the wrecker application. 1200r20 = 30,440 lb tire rating per axle, when dualled, and a footprint of 360² in 395/85R20 = 20,400 lb tire...

Issue is glow plugs. They pull a lot of juice. If it's a normal start, then you can put one on each BATTERY, on its respective positive and negative terminals, and do NOT use a ground point (although, technically you could use ground for front battery).

Hook it up to your other military vehicle with a slave cable. Problem solved. Wait, you only have one? Guess you gotta get another one. ;)

I searched and didn't find anything on the sizes of the lines. I searched through the TMs, and cross referenced them to GM part numbers and got the sizes. Hopefully this will make things easier for those having vacuum issues.

Any new pics?

Yeah. Especially with the box I'm looking at putting on it. I might just have to do duals. I'm curious what the experience is of people running 1100s or 1200s singled out vs dual 1100s or 900s re: drivability, turning, MPG, acceleration (LOL!), etc.

That's pretty much what I was after, thanks.
