    M1009 see through window decals

    I'm thinking of custom making either OD, or NATO camo see through window decals, like used on the back of truck windows, for the rear and side windows... It'd basically continue the NATO camo (or solid OD) to make it look like one piece, Ie you won't really see the windows... Thoughts?

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I tied it to a Toyota that had blown apart its thermostat housing... Towed it off the highway into a parking lot.. Turns out, the guy was going to rehab... He'd been sober 2 days and a friend from church was supposed to be meeting him there, she picked him up from the parking lot instead... He...

    ATF red dye?

    This makes it a contract. Just like any consenting search, consent can be withdrawn or limited at any time. At that point, it's a civil matter, not a legal matter. [/COLOR] ...And this is where I disagree....our country was founded on the principles of freedom, not government control... I'm...

    ATF red dye?

    I'm not sure which side you're coming from. I will iterate a few things though.. 1. Dumping ATF into your tank is not against the law, it's an additive, not a fuel, in the quantities generally used. 2. Even IF it were 'against the law', an unconstitutional law is no law at all. 3. Similarly, a...

    ATF red dye?

    .........Which would constitute a search. A search without consent is per se unreasonable with few exceptions. 1. Warrant 2. Exigent Circumstances. Exigent circumstances do not exist, leaving #1, warrant. Warrants require PC, there must be a reason to believe that there is a crime occurring...

    Don't try to spray stencils in 30 MPH winds...

    Just saying.. :-p Lots of overspray...... I'll need to repaint the areas and start over in a couple of months when it warms up. I made a custom RF radiation stencil that looks better than I thought it would.. I have it on the back, and by each antenna mount (pass/driver). Pardon the rainy...

    ATF red dye?

    Easy. Put a lock on your fuel fill. Tell them to get a warrant. They need a reason to believe that you're using dyed fuels, and refusing to let them dip is not sufficient. What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty, in this country?

    Two batteries, one tray.

    The tie downs are rated for 1k lbs. I got in the engine bay and kicked the batteries as hard as I could, and I'm no small guy. Didn't budge. If I'm flying inverted at -4 Gs, then I have more important things to worry about than my batteries.. :D

    I have 2 group 31s (950CCA) on the battery tray closest to firewall.

    Cold startup procedure

    Replace the battery. Deep discharge over long periods of time will destroy any battery.

    Accident aftermath (M1009)

    So.... I'm in parking lot.. Driving down the 'main drag', well defined, concrete curbs, etc. You get the idea... When this 16 y/o chick decides that her burrito is more important than the road, and she pulls out of a taco bell, right into the corner of my truck... I don't have time to stop...
