    Isn't that a $12 Harbor Freight tool holder that they put a logo on? ;p

    Bought new LED Head Lights to put on?

    I know, I was just making fun of the cost. Heated seats, heated lights, heated floors....these things are very strange to an old fart from S. Texas. We didn't have those things in my day (nor a need for them). But that's still a lot of money for a friggin' headlight. :)

    Bought new LED Head Lights to put on?

    You can get the heated LED headlights from any of a number of <insert_point_of_compass_here> vendors for only only $700 a piece. THOSE are the best, obviously ! (and they break just like any other, so be careful with them) LOL

    General Dynamics Portable Vehicle Arresting Barrier Manual?

    Hell if I know now. I couldn't pull a link off that site to the pdf. I ran that the NSN and the TM number and got to a gas mask (3rd-party site). Looked dodgy and I don't d/l dodgy. I've been surfing for this thing for a week and I've no idea where all it's sent me. Still no joy finding a...

    ‘Other’ air conditioning options…

    My first truck had a/c installed in it when I acquired it. It only had the default cab insulation kit. Why didn't it come with additional insulation? I never asked the seller so you'd have to ask him. I got the impression he wanted to keep it as stock as possible (he had a nice collection).

    General Dynamics Portable Vehicle Arresting Barrier Manual?

    That's pulling up a gas mask for me. I did find another PVAB TM that was used by the Marines I think. But it's just a net and some stuff that stows in a couple packs. This thing pops up out of the ground and comes in six wooden crates. I've got the gist of setting most of it up, but as I...

    ‘Other’ air conditioning options…

    My first truck had a gen1 OEM a/c and it was "meh". It was cooler but never cold. I sat in a truck with a gen2 a/c and it was a world of difference (both no insulation, btw). Now what those OEM Red Dot unit's put out, I'm not sure. But a HMMVW unit is 24K BTU and by many accounts it don't...

    ‘Other’ air conditioning options…

    Something along these lines would be better suited. Again, a bit of sheet metal work to make it fit like OEM or just mount it in the back of the cab. https://www.ebay.com/itm/264706381764 https://www.ebay.com/itm/254435681460 https://www.ebay.com/itm/264566035395

    ‘Other’ air conditioning options…

    Yep, 30K BTUs is the target number. Even after insulation, window tint, etc if you live in places with real summer heat.

    MAINE "Offroad" registration law change

    They did this to sandrails, dunebuggies, and kit cars in Texas some years back. We're still fighting it.

    So I Jump in the Truck and No Power to WTEC3

    Rule of thumb, when something fails go back to the last thing you screwed with before bothering with the TM. I pulled the 6K generator off the truck to redo some stuff. When I disconnected my leads I had run to the 12v gen starter I inadvertently disconnected the small OEM lead coming off the...

    Disregard. It was a lose ground. All happy. Dog wants beach !

    So I Jump in the Truck and No Power to WTEC3

    I'm surfing the TM as best I can do with my phone. Truck starts just fine, but no power to the controller. Trying to find which relay to check but it's 180 degrees in this cab. LOL I'll also pull the dash and inspect for lose wire,
