I've got some of the Chinese gauges that I put in the panel inside my house so I could monitor the generator from there. While they do work, they seem very cheap quality and I wouldn't won't to use them in a environment where they might get wet. I don't want this thread to be a Jimc...

Jimc was making digital gauges that fit the original hole. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?118201-ammeter-frequency-and-voltage-gauges&highlight=l+gauge I've got the digital frequency gauge and I'm very pleased with it.

Another thing heating a bolt red hot will do is burn the rust out. You can't hardly beat heat if you can get it to the right spot, which is sometimes difficult if a bolt is broken off flush or something. You've also got to be careful with heat around cast iron as it can crack on you. Another...

I feel the need to remind everybody that per the site rules firearms and politics not related to the MV hobby aren't allowed. I've edited a couple of post to make them in line with site rules. To discuss the politics related to the MV hobby are fine but firearms politics are better suited for...

I've got a pile of metal cans that I won't use because they are rusty inside. I plan on coating the inside with sealer that they sell for gas tanks, I just haven't gotten around to it.

I guess I went the creative route. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?139405-Deuce-tail-roller-and-bed-winch-skid-loading-setup&highlight=

As I said above the repo switches are made of plastic but seem to work ok. Just don't be too rough with the levers as they will strip out on the stud.

There are several reproductions floating around that are plastic. They don't seem nowhere near as robust as the true military ones but I have used them and they seem to hold up ok.

Now a small draw probably won't noticeably harm your batteries but if you draw very much, it will shorten the life of your batteries. It sounds like the OP wants to run quite a bit of 12v accessories. There's just no way the battery charge can be balanced with one battery having more draw than...

That will work but will kill your batteries.

I've moved loads with multiple trucks before, it's not as hard as you might think. You just need some good drivers that know what they are doing. It does make it much easier if they are automatic. I know the HET is but the other trucks may be too. It's fairly common for c500 KWs used in this...

I used to go down to the local mud hole with my deuce to watch guys play in the mud and would pull them out if they waded out there and hooked up the chain. They would always try to get me to take my deuce through the mud holes. There were mostly Jeeps and a few lifted pickups and I'd say "Look...

Well I'm not going to go pull some knucklehead out of a bad spot because he was stupid enough to get it stuck. Saving lives is one thing, saving somebody's property because they did something stupid is another. Having a big truck with a winch, I get calls all the time to rescue somebody's...

Wow, I'd say it would take a heck of a lick to flip a HET. Was the guy a member here? The report indicated it was a privately owned MV.

Please include your state of residence in your profile, it's a site requirement. Other than that, welcome aboard.

Too bad they had to have that KW behind it to push it over the hill. :wink:

Thanks for honoring my request. [thumbzup]

Drew, I wholeheartedly agree but unless I'm incapacitated somehow to where I can't operate the vehicle, I'm going to be the one in the drivers seat or at least I'll dictate who drives it. I've let others drive my trucks in the past in times of need but it was people I trusted. There are several...

Please post the pics directly to the site. Site rules doesn't allow links to pics, they must be posted directly to the site. This thread was actually put on moderation (automatically by the system) where nobody could see it but the mods because of the Photobucket links. I approved this thread...

If somebody was really in need I could get past the first two. The last one would be a deal breaker. If if my truck goes, I go with it.
