    24 Volt Chrismas light string

    I do the same as m108. Except I cut up 120vac strings. 50 lights at 120 V = 2.4V per bulb so cut off lights in groups of 10 and then wire these sections in parallel.

    Seattle 5 Ton parts yards

    No worries, that is the game, right? :roll: But I wasn't high bidder. They set a reserve on that one, that none of the bids made ever made it to. So apparently the day after the auction, someone wasn't as proud of the truck as they first were and they started calling down the list of bidders...

    Seattle 5 Ton parts yards

    No bed, and the tank will be used for the fuel needed to drive to the rally. Honestly there was no bed, they mounted the tank to the frame and then fabs some diamond plate catwalk and hand rails. I will probably put the tank up on legs in the corner of the property to store irrigation water...

    Parade in Denton, Texas

    Very nice rigs. What is the capacity and designation of the trailer? What are you using for the front bumper corner markers? Is it just painted tube stock that is welded in place? Have any close ups of the marker attachments? Thanx for the pictures and info.

    HEMTT Wheels

    What if he runs with a bead lock spacer? Is the concern about the narrower rim because the tire might want to pop off the bead or is is about sidewall support of the downward force? How tall is the tire after it is spread out on the Hemtt rim? Should be 42"(11.00 x 20 - 11+20+11) on an 8.5"...

    I want my first deuce soon, where do I start?

    Also don't forget that GL charges a buyer's premium of 10% on your purchase so a $5K rig will be $5500+tax+GL's $60 Gov title fee, then you take that to you local DMV, (hope they have titles an M35 before),and pay their fee's. Also GL won't help you find the stuff missing. Private seller...
