Last projection I saw put Florence coming ashore on the NC-SC border, but the computer models showed it could come ashore anywhere between Cape Canaveral, Fl, and New Jersey, as a CAT 4 storm.
First thing is to get something like "Black Jack Ultra-Roof 1000" elastomeric coating on the top of the roof to stop the water from coming in. Three coats should do, and yes, it's white, but it will make inside much more comfortable in the summer. Daniel and Mahala Morgan did almost exactly...
Having driven most of that, your route is southeast about 45 minutes to Houston, then I-10 to Mobile, north on I-65 to Montgomery, then 85 to Atlanta. Deuce master cylinder will work on the DUKW. If you bring it to the GA Rally, Clinto will probably try to steal it (or sink it with drool)!
PRC68.com has the adapters for the -25/-77. There is also someone on evil-bay in Poland that has an adapter, but by the time you get it here the price is the same. I have three from PRC68.com for my radios.
Anyone interested in a HMMWV project? Body, civvy hood, frame and other parts. PM me for more info. See pics (some of which are not clear, bit there is a lot of stuff around it). If someone is interested, we will work out the logistics.
Replace the petcock with one of these > https://www.ebay.com/itm/AIR-TANK-DRAIN-VALVE-PULL-TYPE-Freightliner-Pete-Kenworth-All-Makes/131613289387 Most truck places will have them if you don't want to use evil-bay.
Ouch! That's still way too high on the high side, but the medicine may take several months to bring that part down. Also depends on when you take it. I've found that my blood sugars are better controlled when I take the Metformin with my evening meal, instead of before bed. If your BP meds...
Wiring codes only apply to the wires themselves, not the connectors on the ends, or to the parts they are attached to. Each plug has it's own code name, depending on how many wires it connects at the same time, and what size the wires are, and how the plug stays connected to whatever it...
All US Military vehicles use the exact same wire codes. Some wires are specific to a single type of vehicle, as you may find if you bother to read all the codes (or just need something to help you fall asleep).
And the Presidential Limo is known as "The Beast". USSS drivers spend up to six months learning how to drive it, including 60 mph backwards through obstacles. I'll see if I can find links to the videos I've seen.
Rent a truck/trailer with brakes sufficient to stop everything safely. For easiest results, from AZ, go west to the Cali central valley then go north as far as you can before the mountains get to big. That will avoid most of the high Rockies and the long up and down grades on the roads. Take...
Longevity tip. Do not leave it on for long periods of time. UV rays from the sun will eat through the vinyl paint and down into the cloth below, making it stiff. Then, when you are driving that stiff cover will rip from movement and no longer offer the protection it was designed for. What is...
