    5 ton crew build

    Holy **** , there's a name i haven't seen in >30 years. Bugtussle. We had a guy in Basic from there. The little worm ran 2 miles in 10:46. I can't for the life of me remember his name.

    Good mounted holster?

    The magnets bolt in. The magnet holds the firearm to the magnet, not the magnet to the vehicle. I have not yet examined the M998 for optimum mounting location. With FL law, you probably don't want a magnet.

    Good mounted holster?

    And it would not have occurred to me that concealed on my person is just fine in FL, but my magnet would have been illegal. The laws on this topic are just byzantine, deliberately designed to cause inadvertent violations.

    Best gear setup to get out of the deep mud: H.... HL...... D.... 2.... 1......

    Low range in the Tcase. 1 on the transmission. BTM as described. Don't spin. Don't apply more power than you have traction to support, unless you're making progress. If you're making progress, all bets are off. A little left to right can allow side lugs on aggressive tires to get a bite and...

    Thinking of M1101/M1102 for the HMMWV. Tips wanted.

    I've never had an issue with the tires on them. Even the genset carriers loaded to 4200lbs. I've dragged a couple of them from Yermo to KS on tires dated 2003 without issue.

    Thinking of M1101/M1102 for the HMMWV. Tips wanted.

    I've had dozens of them. I've had an issue exactly once with brakes dragging. Opening the bleeders resolved it. I've got one for sale in the classifieds currently.

    Wrong 24v to 12v Converter?

    Dual voltage alternators. And as you said, it was specifically designed to prevent an imbalance. Without a dual voltage alternator specifically designed to avoid it, it's an "evil tap." As I understood it, the original reference was without a dual voltage alternator and the protection provided.

    Wrong 24v to 12v Converter?

    That's called an "evil tap" and it destroys batteries for the reasons Mogman explained.
