    Greetings from Las Vegas

    Greetings, Just came back 2 weeks ago visiting the Red Rock Canyon Conservatory in a rental RV. Really neat area. Great Visitor Center and tour road. We even had some of that white powdery wet stuff that is unknown in New Orleans.... Welcome to the madness here :)

    Batteries.... ?

    I get his family discount as he lives with me and just would not do it with the optimas and could not find inexpensive adapters. Now I can go anywhere with an O'reilly and not be broken down. Most stores do not stock 6tl's. 24 or 24f's are stocked anywhere that handles batteries as it is a top...

    Batteries.... ?

    So I had access to a regular supply of used 6tl's for a long time :) and when those ran out I started using new O'reilly 6tl's but found they do not hold up and are not excide.... Definitely a difference in OE excide wet cell 6tl's and others copies... Last month I switched in my Hmmwv's to...

    U Ship... Non runner... all wheels... What category are People using?

    I used c.h. Robinson to get a quote. As stated terminal pick up is best. You will need weight and class for the pallet. Ditto on making sure it is well packaged.

    Any idea what this is?

    ditto on that to me. Mangled for sure and eligible for scrap. Did your truck have its driveshafts and were they installed?

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    My retirement plan is partly funded by the lead on my hmmwv rims... :) But on the other hand I have zero balance or vibration issues. Done by an old school tire guy on a Coates balancer

    Ironman 30mm spacers

    Interesting link. I have a base m998 and do not have a bad ride with stock tires and springs so never had the need to experiment. I used to sell these type of products in another lifetime as cheap fixes for worn out springs and typically made the ride harsher. I am leary of the material...

    Wife wants me to do the unthinkable due to the Florida DMV debacle!

    All my trailers carry maine plates. Never had a problem in over 20ish states. Intermodal and trucking fleets routinely have plates from states of convenience and lower taxes fees. My take is small trailers will never get scrutinized unless you are committing other offenses and drawing...

    Anyone seen this kind of pintle hitch before?

    Interesting as it seems to have the ibis tek tire carrier not the rhino which puts the tire more to the right. On the left appears to have had the 2 can carrier but the tray is broken off. I understand amg also had their own version of these 2. Not sure how to tell the difference. Ultra...

    ECV & REV Trucks: OEM Body Lift

    What is that hinged black panel on the outside of the tailgate for? Does the camo net go ontop of that with the 4 straps and it can be swung out of the way?

    What are these brackets under the hood of the M1123?

    It is for the upgraded black scissors jack delco style, not the original.

    Water Fording Muffler Height

    Don't use ups. It will be flagged oversize and create a world of surcharges as they use dimensional weight. Don't ask me how I know. It is length x width x height......

    Glow plug lost through combustion chamber cup

    Quality rtv will seal even with imperfections. Clean and degrease cover and block well. Use permatex with no gasket. Read curing directions. Most oe do not use gaskets anymore in most applications.
