    What have you done for comfort.....

    Noico roll liner. One roll was enough to do the cab roof. Took about an hour total.

    What have you done for comfort.....

    1. Insulated cab roof (cheap stick on insulation. Lowered cab temp by at least 15 degrees) 2. Added VIC-4 intercom for music, maps, and so shouting to be heard is no longer required. Going to be upgrading it to a civi system as can't answer the phone with the military one and my state will...

    Rear canvas question

    Hey all. Quick question, how long are the metal parts of the rear canvas when broken down as far as they can go? Ive found one in missouri, but need to make a decesion to either drive the jeep or LMTV to get it. Hoping for both my fuel budget and sanity I can take the jeep...

    Max truck load with trailer

    So the towed load isn't the full load of the trailer plus weight, only tongue weight? I thought it was a combo of the trailer empty weight plus the load is the towed load. Cool thing about my state is if your a vet and experience driving these things in the last 3 years, you can get a waver...

    Max truck load with trailer

    Have a question for you experts. If I had a 2 ish ton load in the bed of the M1078, could I still tow a 7.5k lbs bobcat behind the Behemoth? Or would it be pushing the limits of the suspension? I know the trucks are way underrated with towing capacity, but would that kind of load prevent towing?

    VIC-4 Intercom issues

    Thhhhaaaaaat is where i went wrong. I had both the transformer backwards AND the resistors soldered to the wrong parts. Whoops. This is why I break stuff for a living! Works great now! Back to the first question: what could be causing the mics to fade in and out?

    VIC-4 Intercom issues

    So picked up a 500:8 ohm transformer and pair of 10k resistors. Soldered the 3.5 left and right channel wires to one 10k, the ground to the other 10k. Soldered both resistors to a leg each on the secondary side of the transformer. Soldered wires to primary side and attached to audio in on...

    VIC-4 Intercom issues

    Yes, the Vic-4 was used in spotting vehicles. Can use 4 radios instead of 2 like the VIC-1. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?14284-VIC-4-intercom-manual-and-VIC-1-VIC-4-mods I will correct my mistake then. Only have a transformer with no resistors. I thought I had missed something.
