I am a regular at this event but I wish I lived closer too.

Posting the link to the Elephant Butte event: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?132409-Elephant-Butte-Luminaria-walk-December-13th

Bumping to the top. Hoping to be there again this year.

Unfortunately, I do not know without knowing what the illumination in the switch consumes but if you find the wattage specified somewhere, you can use Ohm's Law calculators online to find the required resistance. If the illumination is an incandescent bulb, just read the bulbs resistance with an...

I started out with 395s on stock wheels but quickly grew tired of the constant flats. If you off-road, you usually air down and back up constantly. Trash will get between the flap and tire, entering where the stem pokes thru. It will eventually migrate past the flap to between the tire and tube...

Part of what I did and recommend to others is changing the backrest angle relative to the seat base so the backrest is closer to the angle on the stock seat (less reclined). This allows the seat to be considerably further back for gut-room, without hitting the back of the cab when the springer...

If the switch has a ground terminal that is insulated from the switch itself, that is the ground for the light. you can put an appropriate sized resistor between that terminal and the ground point to drop voltage to the bulb in the switch. If the switch has no separate ground terminal, or the...

The Trans shifter linkage has to be properly adjusted. Just a little off and no power to the t-case button. Try this. With the engine off and the tranny in neutral, push the button on the t-case lever. You should hear the solenoid clicking. If not, while depressing the button, move the tranny...

You sitting there with nothing to do? We can always go six wheeling. Just say the word.

Sounds like fun, not.

The annual Max Tire Turkey Trail will take place Friday,Nov. 28th. The starting point is I-10 at the Clint exit (exit 42). Gathering time starts at 1100 hrs. and probably start heading out at 1200. Heading for Red Sands, through the desert. I will try to post a flyer later. There are usually 100...

Wreckers too.

I have also backed up in low with little load and careful use of the go pedal. An M927 requires many fore and aft movements to turn around because of the wheelbase. By the way, and easy way to disable the front locking feature when in low is to pull the pins on the shaft that connects the...

I am not sure I will be able to either or else I would try taking the lead on setting it up.

Anybody heard anything about the Elephant Butte holiday thing for this year. I see NMSmitty hasn't posted in a while. I am hoping to be able to go up but just wondering if there was a concerted effort afoot.

Yeah but those have probably moved recently. Maybe the shaft is just a little stuck. Try a little mechanical advantage. Also maybe you should remove the air lock actuator and take a peek in there/shoot in some lube.

I have installed LED lights under the beds of my deuce and M927. On the deuce I have two of the lights over the rear tires pointing outward and to the rear (like 45 degrees to the truck), and one on the second to the last crossmember (Just behind the rearmost axle). That third one is pretty much...

The GM 2.0, 2.2, 2.4 L engines use a pleated element canister filter. Much less waste material than a spin-on. The system is designed to drain the oil out by breaking the seal when unscrewing the housing. You just have to remember to change the filter BEFORE draining the crankcase. Really easy...

Here is a link to the thread that I posted pictures of my mods on: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?110199-Super-Single-spare-tire-swing-gate-mount!/page3 Post number 29 has the pics.

How about post no. 2 above. And drive often and long enough and to work out flat spotting. Those are for starters.
