    Multiple front pages

    With so many posts per day, I think having multiple front pages would be a good thing. "Accessing the forrum" can be very time consuming when looking for a day-old post.....

    The new drop-down menues don't work, my puter is missing a module somewhere and I'm wondering if a kind soul could provide me with an old-fashioned link to it, please. Thanks,

    Turn signal flasher question

    This may not seem important, but does you flasher turn on the lights immediately when the flasher lever is moved or does it do nothing thru the first 1/2 cycle? I have one that "waits" and one that doesn't.... Thanks.

    CTIS without the "C"

    We read a lot about CTIS and how well it serves (when working) as a traction enhancing device, now 99.9% of us don't have the CTIS, but have to deflate/inflate tires manually. My questions is, what kind of gadgets do the off-roaders use to simplify this process? PS. This applies to all wheeled...

    Flasher connector wanted

    Does anyone have this connector from a parts vehicle, that he would be willing to part with? It's the female MS connector that plugs into the turn signal flasher. A few inches of the wiring would be helpful to. Thanks

    Tatra instrument panel

    Question for Tatra owners, I noticed this gauge in one of the youtube videos and am wondering if it's the tire pressure gauge (CTIS), anybody know? If so, is it graduated in BAR, thanks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EYjVw3tZxM&NR=1 It's like a "tank on wheels". :-)

    Small fuel tank for off-roading

    Operating off road on steep slopes with a low level of fuel will cause the in-tank pump to suck air on occasion and the engine will not idle nor start normally. With the dual tank system I'm able to transfer the fuel to the smaller tank and thus increase the fuel level....just passing on, to me...

    XM757 B&A detail

    Sometimes it's fun to look back at the original and get an understanding for why it takes so long to get this thing on the road. Here is a before and after picture of the LF light treatment. It's all functional at this time. The bumper does cast a shadow right in front, but it doesn't appear to...

    Need 5-ton winch moved from VA to OK

    I'm swapping a winch for an axle (all for the xm757 8x8) and need a front winch transported to the Tulsa area. Getting the axle back here is not critical and can be done at any time. Lifting/loading devices are available at both sites.

    Tatra, more questions

    It's good to have Tatra owners with us and an opportunity to get questions answered that have been lingering! Here are a couple: 1) How are the axles configured for highway driving, are they separated by differentials? 2) How do you gain access to the inside of the tube for service? How much of...
