Never heard it happening even once. Cite?

I got my Rock Auto order. Love those Wholesaler Closeout emails.

Your troubleshooting should have started with disconnecting the batteries at the first sign of smoke; I'm perplexed you would continue to screw with it after that. Whatever problem(s) you had at the beginning are now going to be significantly complicated by burned out fuses, fusible links, and...

If there is voltage between two common GROUND points, the batteries would be dead in a minute or less. ;)

Put your multimeter in ohms and connect the black lead to something metal, then touch the negative terminal on the front battery with the red lead. The meter should indicate zero-ish ohms. If it's an analog meter the needle will swing swiftly to the other side and hold on or very near zero...

Yes. Wife wanted one.

Of course it could just be as simple as a different contract (say, for some other county) specifies the data plate goes there instead.

I count about eight questions you were asked that are unanswered. We're trying to help.

This is where I was after hearing the symptoms. Are you getting the WAIT light? Try this first: Turn the key and watch the WAIT light, when it goes out wait about 20 seconds, then turn the key off. Repeat this cycle three or four times and then try to start it. If it starts (or sounds...

I'm totally guessing, but either some type of fiberglass or plastic. Working from memory I recall seeing a spun pattern on the unpainted inside of the tube like I would expect from fiberglass, but then I also remember curls of plastic where the sheet-metal screws attache the lid to the tube...

I don't think the M1009 was good for towing anything heavier than a B-4 stand around the flightline.

I finally gathered all the parts I needed to install the big antenna on the CUCV. I'm not really sure what this was used for, but I think it was a training antenna for triggering or jamming IEDs? Not sure. Anyway, there was a 315MHz whip antenna mounted in a plexiglass strip that is screwed...

You need to photoshop this.

I watched this all day until it was over. Wanted to bid but didn't. Someone got a really good deal. https://www.publicsurplus.com/sms/all,wa/auction/view?auc=2164517

That was poorly worded. The tires (incl a spare) were free, the wheels were $100 for four. Painted to match the trailer.

The M1101 already has the surge brakes, runaway brakes, and parking brakes, tongue jack, landing legs, etc. I was ready to start cutting my M1101 to get it lower until I hauled a yard of gravel. The height of the trailer was actually beneficial because I could position the cart/wheelbarrow...

Lowering the M1101 seems like it would be a lot less work. There's a thread around here somewhere that details how easy it is to get that trailer close to the ground. Found it: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?134805-Another-way-to-lower-an-M1101-M1102

The only primer in the garage is self etching primer. The wheels have gone many years with a coat of self etching primer and spraycan flat black, with only some chipping where a rock or lug wrench has hit.

I thought it would a two or three hour job; swap in the new(er) sliders for the topper. The old ones had moss growing in the tracks since I bought them used for $20 several years ago, but worst of all they leaked. I had reused the old (prob OE) window seals so that may have been part of it...
