Welcome from another prisoner on the left side of the State. :beer:

As I recall, Leonard's "Baby" has really good doors on it and mine look good too. The price isn't bad if they are straight and have good window regulators in them. Wouldn't want to pay for shipping, they are large and heavy.

I'd actually like to but with the kids and their sports and Jane deciding to foster 3 puppies, I'll have to pass. Besides, I have to do some troubleshooting on the HEMTT before it goes out again, the Jacobs brake has decided to take a vacation (F$%#@*G Murphy). That truck likes to fly down the...

It's COLD outside, you guys are nuts! :beer: Have fun kids! :)

Please be QUIET, my truck is sleeping and I don't want it to get too excited about an outing. Actually, I'm gonna try not to wake it until April.

If that happens your belts ARE NOT at the correct tension OR your pulleys are glazed smooth and don't provide enough traction for the belt. You should use a belt tensioner or re-calibrate your friend, it should not be squeaking the belt with a heavy load, especially as low as 1000 rpm.

Usually the problem you describe is from having belts that are too loose. As the belt speed increases the belt climbs higher on the pulley due to the increased acceleration required to curve around the pulley. I have seen alternators act normally at idle and actually STOP spinning entirely...

Standard torque convertors always slip. Special locking convertors lock. Don't confuse stalling and locking, not the same thing.

I forgot the filter number but REMEMBER it is a 2 stroke Detroit, there are VERY few oils left that meet the spec for these engines. Chevron's Delo 100 40 weight is one of the few. NOT Delo 400! NOT 15w-40 multi weight of some other brand. Shell Rotella 40T is borderline for ash content. So...

When I went offroading with my 1993 Hummer, I usually had to find my own way, often over fallen logs and through brush, to avoid the gaps in the trees only the Jeeps and the like could get through. If a Hummer was hard, a bobber would be nearly impossible. We have these things growing out here...

The only good part of the vehicle is the 160 hp B80 engine. I have 7 B81's (220hp) and 2 B60's (130hp). The gearbox is toast from, no doubt, some idiot :cookoo: using the gear change pedal as a clutch. They do NOT gave a clutch pedal and if used as one, especially in such a heavy and...

If you knew anything about them you wouldn't be so enthusiastic. Even at their best, they are a bit of a nightmare. At their worst, you'll regret they day you saw one, let alone give your hard earned money for one. I would not take one as a gift . . . and I collect British stuff.

Any attempt to isolate the grounds would not only make you TONS of extra work, it would be of no benefit. The ONLY bennefit for ground isolation, that I can think of anyway, is if you need 36V for something. Otherwise a waste of a bunch of copper and time. Un-grounding a std. alternator = PIA

AWESOME! Nice pics, I wish I were closer. It'd be fun in the wifes F150 Raptor too . . . HEMTT, not so much.

I use the rubber rope but I bought a 100' spool that was MUCH cheaper than $.92/ft. I use it to lash my end panels to the bows and to hold down both the end panels and the sides of the cover. I still use regular rope for the 4 corners but only because of the immense weight of the cover...

Sorry to hear that, cancer SUCKS! I was lucky, mine was easily cut from my left kidney. The 2' incision wasn't easy but it forced me to be a lazy slug for 3 months. I wanted to make the trip but the slow pace and my truck only getting 4mpg put a damper on that.

Paul, if you are referring to Chris Brown, who is either in charge of safety or helps with safety protocol, he's up here in Washington State.

Perhaps you might confuse them with a fuzzy memory. As an owner of both, in the same garage no less, the size difference is :shock: It'd be like confusing an M35 and a HEMTT.

The Aussies brought Centurion tanks and APC's during the war, why not a few Ferrets too?

I believe you'll find the trailer's driveshaft will not hook up unless he replaced the truck's rear axle, they don't have an output rearward. Only axles 2 and 3 have power dividers and outputs. Even then, the axles might have a different gear ratio.
