The best engineering is the simplest engineering. Unless you can find a solenoid strong enough to pinch a rubber fuel line, you'll be breaking the fuel path somewhere whether you use a manually operated valve or an electrically operated valve. If you use an electrically operated valve you'll...

I'm imagining you've climbed out on the hood prior to Step 1 and assuming the alignment on the truck is good.

1. Using your panic-enhanced strength, rip the mushroom off the intake 2. Mimicking Groundskeeper Willie, tear your shirt from your body 3. Stuff the shirt down the intake 4. Buy a round of beer for the house :beer:

How about a manual valve with the handle/knob into the cabin where the fording valve used to be? Fuel feed to the filter is in close proximity. Maybe/sorta

I might need to check mine then, it sprays straight down at the dirt. 🤷‍♂️

Curious to know what might happen if, during such a runaway, you opened the fuel filter drain-cock behind the left front tire. Path of least resistance and all.

We remember the mid 90s when websites were still coming online, and many were unsure it was going to catch on. I remember even into the early 2000s there were several firearms parts/accessories dealers (among others) that refused to embrace it at all. If they even had a website it was used...

In his case it would be pure waste. With just the current arrangement (FB and word-of-mouth) he cannot keep up with production. There a months-long waiting list before he'll even start cutting fabric on your order. I very much doubt his lack of web presence has anything to do with laziness.

Yes, very nice unit and decent price. It also avoids the legalities of having a siren unit in your vehicle (illegal in WA but I lockwired the selector switch to only allow air horn, and hoping that's good enough). One advantage for the Whelen and Federal Signal units in they offer two 100...

If you can find an old cop car take-out, a Whelen or Federal Signal siren has an air horn with two 100 watt outputs. Very loud and gets attention. Then you can save the horn button on the steering wheel for when your honking needs to be more civilized.

Five and a half hours of run time added to the meter. Best investment ever!

15 degrees and the power went out... Two and a half hours so far on the generator. This thing rocks. We're the only house in the hood with lights. Everything inside here is normal, and the gen is at about 55%.

RFID doesn't really help you find something that was lost, it's meant for automated tracking of assets. So as the vehicle is being driven on a ship or railcar, it is removed from its present inventory list. When the ship or railcar is unloaded the gaining inventory list is updated to include...

I see 10mm and I want to tell you to throw them in the trash - not worth the future grief.

I see: two or more bidders that recognized the rarity of the top, getting in a bidding war. Cue the buyers remorse. :eek:

There's a small parking area on a nearby navy base with a handful of HMMWVs destined for DRMO. I walk through them from time to time to see what's new, and one day some USMC or Navy mechanics drove up in their greasy coveralls, pulled some parts off, and went back to work. It's expedient.

I did some mental calculations - buying the electrical conduit and bender, trial-&-error bending it vs paying an industrial electrician $20 to do it for me. The electrician was the easiest route. Industrial electrician because they typically do more conduit bending and need to be able to do it...

Are you after seating or just raised sides? Here are some pictures of my project to raise the height of the trailer a little. It's medium-duty at best but allows a tarp that sits at or below the height of the towing vehicle.

That's where I'm at now. I put TruckLite taillights in and the signals flashed fine, but after I put the TruckLite front turn signal assemblies in, they worked properly with the light switch in STOP LIGHT, but did not flash with the switch in SER DRIVE 🤷‍♂️. I read a work-around somewhere -...
