I was a Combat Engineer during my time with the USAR and will tell you these little puppies look pretty cool but they have too much crap on them to be of much good, they are too light also. They would pass a deuce on the highway but that bucket on front's not...
Knowing that the MV folks will refer to this vehicle by its nomenclature or as a Humvee, I am thinking about getting some magnetic bumper stickers made that say "Hummers Are For Girls!!!" Anyone interested in having one if I get them made?
I have abandoned the under body route. I was unable to get a good route all of the way to the back of the truck. I'm going to drive the truck in parades and did not want exhaust to be pouring out onto the crowd. Going with the muffler, wish I had just done that first, oh well, live and learn.
Hey Santa, thanks for the input. We don't have any renderers nearby here but I might try to contact one to see what kind of prices they offer. I am in perhaps a unique position because the folks that own the Chinese places in our little town are neighbors. Most of the time they drop the stuff...
I've read that there may be damage to the piston heads when using too much oil before the engine heats up, anyone experineced that? I think I may take a stab at increasing my veggie levels, at least during these summer months. I haven't had any problems with filters clogging.
Just wanted to report to everyone on my use of waste veggie oil in the deuce. I still haven't gotten a complete two tank system set up but I've been burning 20 % waste veggie in my deuce for about a month now. Starts first time every time and no problems with the fuel filters. I am filtering...
I really hate it when my own mistakes come back to bite me in the a**. A couple of weeks ago I thought I would be a genius, instead of opening the tanks I just bled the excess air out through the inside cab valve(did this all of the time while in the reserves in New Mexico). Now I know the...
The above noted entity has some good looking dropside usms deuce beds on auction right now, looks like the auction closes on Thursday. They are located at Camp Shelby, outside of Hattiesburg.
I'm taking a look at a 10 amp 24 to 12 voltage reducer to put a charge on a seperate 12 volt battery to run the 12 volt items. Seems pretty simple right, I'll let you all know what goes wrong first.
For me coming up with a 12 v source is just a way of adding some of those little accessories that civilian life has given me a taste for. A radio/mp3 player, my coleman electric cooler and a little 12 volt fan that I have. I just can't see myself cruising down the road with a boom box and a...
A cash prize huh? Sounds to me like you have been deprived of some fundamental rights here, want to throw some legal ease at them and force you way into next years run?
I know I am going to show my ignorance of electrical system functioning so please explain to me why this won't work: connect a second battery in parallel to each of the individual 12 volt serial connected batteries; then connect the two parallel batteries to one another in parallel. It seems...
