Quieting Generator Exhaust I don't remember who posted it in the now MIA bugout thread, but this was brilliant: Extend the generator exhaust down into a 55 gallon drum of water. Drill lots of holes along the entire length of the pipe that is in the water. Usual common sense precautions apply...

Do you know of a source for these? I have been looking but no luck.

Welcome. Covered storage is a plus, it will be in better shape, but not mandatory. What is necessary is: 1. Install a good 24v float charger so that the batteries are kept in good shape. 2. Fuel conditioner and biocide treatment. I use PRI-D and any biocide I can get my hands on. Your...

About half of the 939 trucks I have driven downshift hard, but what I noticed is that the harder you decelerate the harder they downshift. I came into a stop sign off the freeway a little too hot once and it downshifted so hard it killed the engine. Scared the crap out of me. Try a more...

For $5k you can find a good used Kubota diesel powered unit that any generator guy can service and maintain. Most of them won't work on the military generators. Buy Kubota power, you will be happier. I've had a couple of military generators, what a pain. Now I have a civi generator and it...

Wow that looks great! I keep my trucks green but can really appreciate the job you did on that truck. Green and camo isn't for everyone.

It was a real surprise when I checked the imagry and found that the aerial and street view of my place was very up to date. In the aerial you can see the deuce in my driveway, the M923 in the street to the right, and the tan M925 out in the street to the left of the deuce. That M925 was only...

A buddy saw you guys go by through Dundee on the way to the farm. Looks like fun! You have some real interesting toys.

I keep hearing this, but my own personal experience is different. I had a right front 1600.20 blow out while doing 60 MPH on the interstate. The gash in the sidewall was over 6" long. I couldn't even tell anything was wrong, I just heard it go and pulled over to see what's up. As far as...

Palm smack to forehead. Remove that link to current auction before you get... corrected :-P

So are you wanting the carrier or the jerry can? I have a few of the carriers laying around and I have seen them for sale for around $15 online. The cans are another matter. I got lucky and bought a bunch for $12 recently from a scrapper but I had been looking awhile. For cans, haunt the...

Beautiful work!

They go from anywhere from $2500 on GL where they are selling a hundred of them that many won't run and need extensive repairs to $27,000 on Ebay. You should be able to buy one that runs good and has been checked out for $5500 to $8500 depending on condition and how it is equipped. Look at a...

Unless you are using it commercially, you don't need a CDL to drive a 5-Ton in Oregon. Personal Use = No CDL

I think that happened a lot. I was bidding on same thing in CA and they went way higher than was justified for what they are. I think someone thought they could bolt up and go.

I think the price is going to come down for a bit. Look for very reasonably priced LED headlights in the classifieds soon. At least until they are gone.

Oscar. Great truck name! Really like it.:beer:

Very cool!

We found some really nice locking door handles from a guy who sells on Ebay. Great guy to deal with. If you search Postal Jeep you will find the high quality handles he sells. He advertises in sets of three but if you call him he will sell you a pair postage paid for $25 each. We had to do...

Nice work there Jones! Very clean.
