There's always going to be a limitation by physics. At least in the current battery construction. Supercapacitors though, that might be the answer, or a hybrid of a battery and supercapacitor to increase the speed of charging. The hows of the vehicle charging/range/exc. are just one part of...

Oh 120v charging would take a day or longer. 240v charging would be best for home. And maybe use 120 to top off a work.

But that's from a commercial charging station. I pay $0.11 per KWH here at home. So that's only $35.75 at home. Not knocking the commercial stations, they've gotta make a profit. But it'd be wise to only charge at home or where you can avoid a "retail" outlet.

I wonder how the hydraulic variable compression worked.

Depends on the parts. There are a number of parts that are available. But there's also a number of parts that simply are not available for any amount of money there is. (Parking brake cables I know are non-existent, I ended up having to make replacements) Being in the US, you'll also have...

I want to say I gave $3500 for mine back in 2007. But over the years I'd put a great deal into it. And right now it's been repainted. And I'm about to put a lot more into it. (Power steering, major brake upgrade) Looks like "junkers" are bringing $4500 and up in my area. I'm not saying...

I'd guess they have a bot looking as well as simply targeting the classifieds section.

There are disc brakes out there for them. But I'm much more interested in having dual circuit for safety. The drum brakes are completely suitable to stop the truck. Now, upkeep, they probably would be easier to deal with. I think there's several threads about disc brake conversions. I wouldn't...

The MC part number I ordered is MC39577 (It was on page 2 of this thread). I don't have a part number for the hydromax, as it was a used unit off ebay from a International truck. The only downside to that unit is that it's a 12v unit. I plan to just plug it between the batteries though. As...

So it's no lie that I work hard to try to keep scammers at bay from here. The level of scrutiny and hoops I make them jump through had made the site a not worth while target since I effectively took away their means to message people. Well, they've figured a way around it. They don't even...

The scammer registered here as Rock12. But was never approved. I've figured out what happened. The scammer is watching the classifieds and saw where the other person emailed had posted his email address in a thread for a want ad. The scammer basically went completely around all the means...

I reservered a cabin, will have extra beds if anyone is interested in splitting.

Turbo oil seal failure can be a risky thing to keep pushing. You can potentially get to a point where it's in runaway. No amount of pulling the fuel stop will shut it off. It will either blow itself up or suck itself dry of oil and lock up when this happens. Sometimes you can save it by...

I've never been accused of being smart when it comes to towing. Many will speak about the things I've done towing with various MVs. From pulling a LTMV trailer caged behind a CUCV, to towing a 21K ditch witch on a gooseneck behind it. But I've done these things out of necessity, not...

The only way you could even package a 4:1 reduction in a hub would be in a planetary setup. Which would kinda defeat the entire HMMWV setup for suspension.

I flat towed mine with a 1/2t crew cab short bed chevy. It was uneventful for the most part, but it did try to steer me at one intersection. When flat towing the towing vehicle needs to certainly have more weight. And if possible, a longer wheelbase.

Congrats Hank. Sorry for the delay. Got the home page updated.

Ron is no longer a member here. I removed some of his earlier posts that were equally or even more repulsive.

There was in fact a layer of paint that was applied with a mop. Thankfully that was sandblasted off...

It's absolutely money related. Even entry video hosting could cost $500 or more a month. And at that range, we'd likely exceed that cap quickly. Yes, file sizes can be limited. But there's still the part where if you upload a 4K video that is 200gb and I spec that the max video size is...
