    Please recommend a transfer switch

    That sounds like the ideal solution. I'll get a look at her panel and see what we're dealing with.

    Purchasing my first Deuce

    Plan every red light ahead of time. Slow while downshifting, hit every gear on the way down. You should already be in 2nd before you even need to hit the brakes. Some people when driving a manual, simply go to neutral and get on the brakes to stop - don't do this. Plan every stop as if you...

    Please recommend a transfer switch

    She probably has 200 amp service. But the MEP802 obviously can't run all of that. Her furnace and water heater are gas. She's concerned about running the lights, the refrigerator, the furnace, and whatever other trivialities can be supported by the 802. We're going to go through her breaker...

    Please recommend a transfer switch

    I'm looking for a plain Jane mechanical transfer switch to be used to connect a MEP802 to a house for use during power outages. The primary user would be a >70yo woman, when the power goes out. I figure someone here has one they like...

    Hybrid Humvees

    One on each hub would provide an additional means of traction control.

    Does the m800 use the same caging bolts as an fmtv

    809series trucks do not have springbrakes and therefore they don't require caging.

    Suitable jack stands for m54?

    I squashed a 6ton rated jackstand with an unloaded M200A1 weighing less than two tons. There was a slight slope involved, and I certainly didn't trust it or get under it, but i really didn't expect it to fold up. The irony is that this jackstand had previously been used successfully under my...

    Install front winch will not fit with brackets

    What I pictured is the MileMarker hydraulic winch. My understanding is that MileMarker makes the entire mounting kit available. My understanding is that the brackets and such for the electric winches are not compatible with these.

    Install front winch will not fit with brackets

    Which front winch set up? I can think of four different ones right off the bat, and there's probably a dozen....

    Pop off valve sticking, need correct term for the TMs

    Pressure protection valve opens the secondary side at 70 psi and supplies air to the wipers and horn and governor. At 120psi the expello valve sneezes. If the PPV fails, the sneeze never happens and you get pressure to 150psi at which point the pressure relief valve opens. What i think...

    53” tires

    The M818 speedo is calibrated for 11.00's. It'll read much lower than the 939A2.

    Need some help picking a generator for single-phase and 3-phase use

    If you want to play with gensets, and to also have a source of power when the electricity goes out, get a MEP802. You'll probably get additional gensets as well. It's as bad of a disease as the green trucks... If you want seamless power with no fiddling and no thinking about it, a propane...

    prices on 1097a2 vs 1152

    You're paying a lot of premium for the ability to comfortably cruise at hwy speeds for something that's primarily for "tooling around the lake and two track". JMHO.

    Self recovery with one person, one pickup, and one M939- how to do it?

    The two rectangular holes in the pipe on your bumper could be filled with a 1/2" steel flat plate to provide mounting surface for 5ton type tow bar attachment points. That's how I'd do it if I were using your bumper. Here's a pic of the redtruck's rear bumper, made to be compatible with...
