I don't see spending about $4500 on 1150 gallons of fuel to drive that slow is something I can stand. Besides, having a crane on my 8x8 truck, I might be asked to fix or tow everything that breaks.

The painfully slow pace is one of the reasons I'm sitting on the fence on this trip. I don't want to drive anywhere at 25-30 mph unless the terrain is THAT difficult as to require it. All of Alaska's portion is supposed to be paved with some frost heaves in places and Canada's portion is...

They were used on all coral islands as the coral tore up tires, the metal tracks would hold up to the abrasiveness of the sharp coral. You notice it is for the Navy . . . used in the South Pacific.

On the first picture you can see the "X" with a circle around it but it is faded. A friend told me what that means: "dead, don't buy it for anything but parts." BTW, when I was at Ft. Lewis a few months back ALL the trailer mounted generators had the "X" on 'em.

I'll never buy one again, I haven't had one that lived for more than 2 years.

nopics I wanted to come too but my truck is too new and it looked like space might have been too tight. At least we got the spare parts ready for above the garage storage.

So is drdstny gone now, I tried to PM him a response to an earlier question of his and I'm blocked from doing so.

I'm a lazy b@$tard, plus I want a simple one wire civilian alternator . . . hence the equalizer. A gold plated Mil Spec dual voltage unit might be cool but can you imagine changing one of those things out in BF Egypt and getting it fixed? I'd rather call NAPA and get another new one. Also...

Thank you jwaller!

Sorry Scooter but you'll toast another set of batteries tapping off only one. It overcharges one and undercharges the other.

Sure you did, LOTS of cheap ones: 28 VOLT ALTERNATOR #12338796-1 DUAL-VOLT 14/28 200 AMP: eBay Motors (item 380232729953 end time Oct-08-10 12:12:14 PDT) Alternator 100 Amp Dual Voltage 14/28 Volt (Niehoff N1505-1), 12447110...

I went with a new 100A battery equalizer for $200.

Show me, where is the link? I was quoting Kascar's price. No foot in mouth here, wise@$$.

I like my dangly bits too much to freeze 'em off.

In parallel yes, series NO!

Sure the HMMWV ones are only $2400 and $600 for the regulator. roflrofl

I have the Michelin's on my HEMTT, they are noisy and at 5-10 mph you can feel the vibration from the blocks. That said, I still bought another set because I like the look better and if I want quiet, I just roll up the windows. :driver:

Are you saying that they are really Rump R@#&%*$?

You can always go into a gay nightclub, Rangers won't to go there. :D

I want to but it is just too far out to tell. Going the 1650 miles to Tower Park and back next spring will be a test run for the 7000 miles the 2012 event will be for me. At 4mpg, the HEMTT is going to burn a LOT of fuel!
