Spicergear is correct about the DD in the HEMTT's. I'm thinking about bigger injectors for mine . . . perhaps even a new engine with them installed before transplant.

I agree that stainless differs amongst it's different alloys. I only have 316L fasteners in my hardware bins. Great corrosion resistance, especially at elevated temperatures. I only use this alloy unless very high shear or tensile strength is required.

Remeber with stainless hardware, it only has the strength of mild steel. Plus, apply thread lubricant on the threads, it will preven galling. I've been bit by that when a friend "helped" me with my boat's second stern drive while I was working on the first. I applied anti-seize on mine and he...

Actually, here anyway, you can let them pay for fuel, but no compensation for time and the vehicle. As far as my lunch, we trade buying lunches, we are FRIENDS!

Ain't that the truth! You could double my space and it would still be crowded. I built mine with PLENTY of room to spare and the "OD disease" took all my available space and then some. The 3600 sq.ft above my garage was supposed to be for a new master bedroom, home theater and office. It now...

Yup and it's too darn small, the HEMTT takes up a lot of room. I have a good and understanding wife that allows US too many green toys.

I kinda had some of the same thoughts as Dave did when I planned my garage. I went with 14' ceilings and to get away from the clearance issues from a roll up or one on tracks, I went with an exterior bi-fold door. Think Bi-Folds for Simple & Easy Custom Built Automatic Overhead Doors I went...

This is the PNW, we love hijacking, remember DB Cooper? Honestly, I can't remember anyone being offended by a local thread hijacking, thread possession must be an East Coast thing :) There will be another Arlington thread as the date becomes closer . . .

YUP, we'll be there as always. Love this event, we will probably start moving in on the Friday the 6th and start camping there on Saturday the 7th, Sunday at the latest. They let me drive my tank as fast as I want on the taxiways: http://homepage.mac.com/stalwart/Stuff/Scorpion.m4v Our truck...

Perhaps, but he WILL BE before too long. They don't play nice with people who bend the rules. That's why I never charge, and RARELY haul anyone elses stuff. I hauled a CCKW last week but that was for a friend, and he bought me lunch.

Hmmm . . . M817, 23,761 lbs. :popcorn: 50¢ a mile for fuel and $2.50 a mile to pay for commercial weight fee tickets rofl I never run mine commercial, but if you're charging, you can't help it. Just too many rules and regs once you go commercial for my tastes. From all the required...

Mine is like R Racing's trailer, 25900 but mine is much shorter in length. It was rated as such to avoid the 17% FET that starts at 26,000 lbs gross rated trailer weight. I had my I beams upgraded to 22 lb/ft, extra heavy torque tube, extra heavy deck supports (both size and spacing), all...

I have the '08 F450, before they neutered the 450 axles. I have a MUCH higher load rating due to my S110 axle compared to your 80 series axle. I've put 6000 lb on my truck and I'm telling you you'd KILL your 450 with 10,000 of pin weight. As stated before your axle ratings INCLUDE the weight...

I endeavor to do my due diligence on charities that I support and WWP spends just too much on administrative expenses for me to support them. On the surface they claim 83% goes toward helping soldiers but when you see that nearly 25% goes to fundraising, $9.4 million of the total 2010 revenue...

Yes, you probably have seized drums on the "carrier." You can drive without the carrier attached but don't drive fast, it will be VERY squirrely. BTW, they don't have a "trailer", it is part of the vehicle, that drives it and steers as well. I got rid of all my TM's when my wife sold her Goat.

Sorry Dan, by not naming you personally, I had hoped to not overwhelm him with all sorts of characters before he got to place a name with a face. Jane and I are both HORRIBLE remembering names and faces, we've managed about 1/2 the local group. You and Scott were the easiest and sunk in to our...

21" compressed end to end (I didn't measure center to center), 32.5" extended SO 11.5" of travel. They are big, 3.25" in diameter.

You may have misunderstood me, I didn't "add" them they come standard on the truck. NSN 2510011324983 and a tag on them says PN 1313230. Let me apologize in advance for the pictures, it is VERY dark under the truck in the garage and I used my phone.

I have shocks mounted on all the HEMTT axles. With so much unsprung weight, 600 lb wheel and tire and HUGE axles, it is a lot for a shock to keep under control. Mine are positioned much like Bjorn's but at a smaller angle, 10 degrees off vertical. I made measurements for Leonard Jones for his...

There is an AWESOME group of people around here! When one of the locals needed to change out his engine in his Deuce, I was amazed by all the guys who showed up to help. Scott can really gather the guys together with his boundless enthusiasm. The engine change went smooth, with several...
