"Perfection is achieved not when there is no more to add, but nothing left to take away"

Legal. 1st amendment baby. Just like you can walk around in an army uniform if you want. You start to run afoul of the law if you misrepresent yourself in order to gain some form of a benefit - like you get pulled over but claim you are army and not subject to that speeding ticket, etc.

Well, Welcome! What part of AZ?

Haha I actually use mine. For rifles even. When you have a rifle in there it also makes a great coat hanger.

Whatever good idea fairy lead to the fluid they used, I am sure the reason wasn't lack of money. Maybe they just thought they had enough 18 year olds to change the fluid on an interval. I've actually never looked in the TM to see what the r/r interval is supposed to be. Maybe they wanted to use...

When some of my valves went bad due to corrosion I had the same symptoms OP describes. It was quasi sporadic. The pump was working against a check valve or whatever that wouldn't open - it was actually on the fluid release side (past the cylinder) in my case. To get the cab down I had to crack a...

So I have my M1078 and with the gun mounts. They were clearly designed for holding a M4 rifle with the rounded forestock. Like most people my rifles have quad rails, optics, blah blah blah. Consequently they don't go into the rifle mounts very well. The mounts are too close to the wall to clear...

I walked into the local hydro shop in Seattle, on the Ballard docks by the crab boats. Forget the name now. They scratched their heads for a long time, eventually ended up calling the manufacturer. The trick is apparently that the part #s are for military contract parts, not off the shelf parts...

I meant I discarded and replaced the check valves - not that I made a death trap. Sorry for the ambiguity, I could have been clearer.

Haha - I've never read truer words. The green disease.

Not to beat a dead horse here after my earlier post... but if you look in the -24P it makes no mention of the plastic things either. And mine has not fallen out after thousands of miles and all the jostling. I've also seen plenty of other applications without them. This is why the rods are...

When I did my door repair (exterior handle), I didn't even have the plastic end on the door handle side. I checked my driver side (intact) and it didn't have them either. The lock rod did have them. You can get generics for steel rod of various OD (I ended up having to fabricate a rod too, mine...

Just wait until hotshotters realize you can't tell what is inside a toy hauler from the outside...

Ah the solder v. crimp debate. Never heard this one before... A common theme with these arguments seem to be separating what is possible with what is practical. It's possible to get high quality solder joints. NASA certainly does, as well as a lot of aerospace manufacturers. They also have...

True facts. I occupy a lot of my time in the LMTV trying to go easy on the brakes. Finesse is key.

As others have suggested, I carry around print-outs of the actual laws for WA state (my license is out of WA right now) for CDL requirements showing I am in the clear. I also have the FMCSA laws for the exemptions (private property transport), and I keep it with my insurance paperwork. I don't...

Also living vicariously. Want to know how this turns out, what a find!

That's right. If the pin is removed you can just push and pull the crane which is a lot faster, or with the pin in, it ratchets. I thought it was a weird feature until I tried to load tires yesterday and realized that with the boom horizontal it wasn't high enough to get a tire in. I have a...

It turned up, along with a wheel I was looking for. I have to say - wow. What a dream come true. It looks like this one is ~12 years old. I had no idea if it would be complete, it was. When I opened the crate a lot of the boxes were wet and molded but when I opened them I realized each contained...

Diggin' the use of a clearance light as a dome light...
