What bus route goes to the rocks? It is a good idea to keep them in the city

I have tried to subscibe with posting but it does not seem to work for me. Must be some querk with work.

That jeep would be a project The body probably has a lot of rot. Jeep hat channels are prone to rotting out. That rear bumper is probably welded to both the frame and body and will take a lot of work to remove. That jeep needs a frame off if you want to save it You are better off finding one...

This applies to the skills test I have been told that if the truck has an air compressor that is used for the brake system, than an air brake endorsement, or lack of restriction, is required for a vehicle with a gvw over 26000 lbs

Interesting Thanks for posting I found a similar setup for the modern jeeps

cool

Thank for the link

The reguations are based on the gross weight and not the unladen weight or your scaled weight. You stated that the trailer was at 13100 lds, unladen, wich is over 10000 lbs so a class a is required unless your state has different rules. If your state has different rules then make sure you...

Most states are now following federal regulations that state a trailer over 10000 lbs requires a class a. Additionally the tractor is a stick and the air over hydraulic brakes require the air brake endorsement in California. The problem is that this is not really a commercial vehicle so you...

Maybe they did not have the caging bolts or could not get them off of the cans.

An empty truck would stop just fine using only the front axle brakes. It is possible that the spring brake portion of the rear brakes were adjusted so that the truck could be moved without canning the brakes. If this is possible that half of the rear brakes would still work. When I dealt...

Interesting Good and bad design features I would like to see a head to head test with an a2 with the same tires and wheels, just to be fair

If the service brakes are not correctly adjusted it will affect the spring brakes

Very interesting Years ago my dad worked on an emp project and had an emp generator inside of an old blimp hanger. He said every time they generated a pulse the fire department would show up. It turned out that there test was causing the alarm system to send a test signal and the fire men where...

It is the same The emergency line removes the spring brakes, if so equipped, and fills the air tanks. The service line applies the brakes by sending an air signal to the relay valve.

From what I remember about wedge brakes, it has been over 20 years, the front and rear shoes are adjusted independently. A Maxi can is a dual brake chamber, it combines both the service brake and the spring brake. It is possible that the spring brakes were adjusted off and the service brake are...
