Well, attempt to salvage #1 was to heat the remainder of the nipple with the heat gun and jam a 1/4x3/8ths adapter in the hole. That didn't work, just melted the nipple and the adapter. Attempt #2 I attempted to grind off the melted nipple but the motorcycle is in the way, and because I...

I was getting the genset ready for the big storm tonight.... Started the 802 and the radiator cap was leaking a pretty steady drip. Took it off and cleaned the surfaces and it appears to have stopped the leak. The crap part is now there's coolant and I can't tell what's residual (because it's...

The issue I see with these is the "proximity" is poorly explained. The key-rack where I hang my keys is roughly 40' from the HMMWV parked in the driveway; so will it disarm? That would be a nice kick in the pants to look out the window and see the truck is gone because the key fob is still...

I mounted my tires in my driveway, it was a hella workout too. Discount Tire balanced them as best they could, and the Centramatic balancers do the rest. things start out a little wonky when I first get rolling, more so when it's cold out, but smooth out quickly. That might not be a balance...

2nd annual Veteran's Day Parade. These two guys were the Grand Marshalls, 101 and 100 years old left to right. They weren't up to the HMMWV this year so I was #16 with some random friends of the parade people (I guess, really not sure who they were or why they were there despite conversation)...

Poulsbo has a little parade for Veteran's Day. Last year I carried the WWII vets who were the Grand Marshalls as the lead vehicle (behind PFB's giant ladder truck). This year I was scheduled to do the same but they told me a few days ago the vets are getting to an age now where ingress and...

Time to change the oil. It wasn't quite at the mileage point but it isn't raining and the parade is tomorrow, so why not.

How do these various solutions affect the draining slots on the floors? I'd hate to have water pooling.

One set of guard and antenna mount pending - one left. Bent antenna mount shown above is $20 plus the ride.

Not crazy about sliding the transmission back - out in the driveway now that the rainy season is here. I was prepping it to sell when the flex plate started clattering. It figures...

Pulled the bell housing cover off - yep - seems to be the flex plate. Still deciding whether I want to fix, farm out the fix, or sell as-is.

I had an hour or so before the rain came, but it came early. Got both stone guards modified and mounted.

Weird that he's not offering pick up, only shipping. I'd be very cautious. If you know anyone in the area, have them go look at them before you send any money. There's a lot of scammers on FB.

I drove out to the NEX (went by the DRMO lot - nothing new) to pick up one of these. Totally changes the HMMWV driving experience. Highly recommended.

Bump for the CUCV guys/gals

Installed the two new batteries and the cable set I've had laying around for three years or so. Truck fired right up, but it sounds like absolute crap. Banging noise that went away when getting the RPM above idle. Tightened the belts but it didn't help. The longer I had it running the worse...

A couple more from the DRMO lot: Whatever you do, don't try to open that door! This is the third type of LED turn signal that I've seen here. There was only one of these,

Tank is sitting pretty with about 70 gallons so far. Mounted the Solargizer to the generator. Used stuff I had around - so didn't need to buy anything.

I put the battery tester on the front battery - checks good. Aft batter checks bad so it's on the charger. Likely that's all it is.
