Whoooo Hooooo! I had my leave approved and the Rover is finally painted! ROAD TRIP!
First timer here and bringing the wife so be gentle! :-P 3+hr road trip from Sav. taking the back roads up thursday so it should be fun.
Guess I need to duct tape the holes in the tent for her. I was gonn'a...
I think the CON for me is the trailer bed is too small, I'd have to live in it if I got one. The wife would probably give me the boot! They are the bomb as far as odd vehicles.
I remember the Vulcan gun crews in Germany used to have them. I'd see piles of Goat parts in their motor pool from all...
Digging through my pile 'o crap and came across a box full of what looks like Bosch injectors. NSN 2910-01-150-0950 in their bags
Are these for a cucv? GM 6.2? I don't own one so I haven't a clue. I'm gathering up stuff that's been collecting dust to tote to the Ga rally and just wanted to know...
I've used "Jasso" (I think that's how it's spelled) with great results on bodywork where the panels overlap and rust was forming. Put it in a squirt bottle and drowned the seam and area. Next day wiped down,red oxide primer & paint. Rust never came back. Got it at Lowes.
OSPHO can be found at...
Hey, any chance ya'll headn' past Sav. ? I'm hoping to make the rally. I'm off I16 right above Sav Ga. How fast will you be running? When will you be heading out?
Thanks
Hey, anyone bringing any British MOD stuff? :D I'm trying to get set to take off that week. I've got alot of radio stuff,IR lights,a torpedo heater from a 109 van, MRAP seats, and a 2,000W pure sine 24v OutBack inverter .
From SW web site 34079 Forrest Green product #F93GC355 under military coatings for 1 gal. CARC
They have a RAL paint code page! Whooohoooo.
RAL6014=RGS9-00003.
They are having a sale this weekend and I gott'a get this ball rolling.
Yep, prep will make or break a paint job.
I've got a Sherwin Williams arround the corner, can I give them the 34079 code and ask for it in enamel. GCI is nothing more than industrial enamel right? Just looking a gal and some hardner. I know the hardner will make it shine a bit more but from...
I came across the RAL6014 number but tried all day to cross it over to something I could give a paint company. No luck.
I guess the 34079 with some kind'a hardner might work. It's not likely it'll ever be parked next to another one painted Nato green.8-)
My biggest concern is most of it's body...
Hey all. Finished stripping the paint on my 1978 Military Rover and now comes paint. I keep seeing flat,semi and what looks like gloss on Britt vehicles from that time period. Guess anything goes as far as sheen? I read that 34079 or 24079 Vietnam green is the same as the old NATO green...
House wash
Swing by Lowes or Home Dumpo and get some house wash with mildewcide/preventer in it and wash her down. If you repaint get a packet of mildew preventer added to your paint. Works great! Open 2 windows and get a chepo solar window fan they sell for car windows and throw it on there to...
Qute true
Yes there is a big difference between shock protection and vibration protection. Most Military gear is built to withstand vibration of a bumpy dirt road but hitting a killer pothole might knock things loose inside. The industrial supply stores like Grainger and Enco have mounts but...
You would think they would mention that it takes a few days to post. It won't even let you preview to see if your pic worked or anything. Aghhhhh! agravating.:evil: I hate computers and this ain't helping.
Thanks for the replies guys
You'll know if you have no oil pressure. CRUNK!
Your pressure will be very low. Aircooled 2 cyl engines usually have only a couple of psi. I think the "G" forum has some info on where to pickup a pressure reading. Look a page or two back in the forum. L/side between cylinders I think.
Hi, check out Grainger,MSC and EnCo for vibration isolation mounts. Alot of different styles and specs. You name it,they got it. Mount your gear on a board/plate and put the isolators between board and shelf. They have some that look military too.:wink:
