    Double alternator

    I think with all the information I have received I would rather switch to a purely 24 volt setup with the 12 volt converter at the dashboard. The question is whether to have the alternator and the solar through the victron 24 volt 3000 watt inverter charger charge the same set of batteries as...

    Double alternator

    Thank you Ron for your input! What 24 volt alternator would you suggest that not only fits well but has enough amperage to deal with the truck plus extra electronics and extra off-road lights as well as charging 4-8 house batteries in a 24 volt setup through the victron 24 volt 3000 watt...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    You never cease to amaze me Ron! You remind me of both my grandfather. One was an army engineer then machinist at big oil, the other was a navy machinist mate and boiler maker. Neither had a mechanical problem they couldn't solve!

    Looking to Purchase an LMTV

    I have replaced several Goodyear tires so far from feltz tire at about the cost of $300 ish per tire for unused tires about 5 years old delivered from Wisconsin. But for new you will pay up to 2K per tire. Guys I talked to at Miramar with a very HIMARS truck said they prefer the Michelin XZL...

    Cargo cover rubber cord cut length

    Thanks I do have an existing set on there the problem is after 3 years one side has rotted in the Sun and started falling apart. I could just match the side that hasn't rotted yet because it was always shaded, however it has stretched out a little and i would kind of prefer a cut list if that...

    Crew Cab 5 Ton Modification Q&A

    Dan, I'm mounting that same box to an M1083. How is it mounted to that truck? Any chance you can give you some pictures of the mounting situation and if it uses some sort of springs and spring bolts do you have the specs of those?

    Cargo cover rubber cord cut length

    Does anyone know where the information is or can just provide the information for the standard cut lengths for the different pieces of rubber cord used to make up the cargo cover tie down on an M1083? I found the best prices for the official 5/16" shock cord hooks from defender.com and I found...

    Any ideas for stickies re.: CAD/CAM AND 3D software/hardware.

    I started out my career using AutoCAD, AutoCAD is made by Autodesk which also makes the fusion product. However when SolidWorks came out I switched to that, and haven't used AutoCAD or any other Autodesk product much since. There are a lot of cool features in fusion but I haven't had much of...

    Any ideas for stickies re.: CAD/CAM AND 3D software/hardware.

    Many waterjet places will charge you about $100 minimum charge to cut out complex shapes and sometimes that even includes the price of the material. You do have to send them a dxf file or very clear dimensions. This would probably be better than 3D printing for this application. I have used...

    Any ideas for stickies re.: CAD/CAM AND 3D software/hardware.

    I can help you with that. Give me the dimensions you know about and the dimensions of things you'd like and we could work from there. I've already revers engineered half of my truck and the entire habitat. I use SolidWorks. They do have a SolidWorks version for tinkers that's very cheap, and...
