    LMTV Air Conditioner

    But the universal units that I linked all meet (exceed) the Gen2 spec (and with complete gen2 kits at $5000-7000 now, the universals are less than 1/4 of the cost even after brackets and pulley). Coldmaster sells Reddot stuff, too. I've never asked if Reddot can still crank out gen2...

    btw: if it fits, it cools :)

    LMTV Air Conditioner

    Gen2 are rated at 30k if I recall. And if you are going to insulate the cab, you possibly won't need that much. Sean ("Able") has the OEM Reddot HUMVEE a/c (24k btu) in his cab and says it's more than enough (of course, he lives in PacNW so I can't say if that would be enough in a hell like...

    Exactly. Buy the universal kit. Install it as is or have a fab shop bend you a box, cut a few holes, and ...ta-da...instant gen2 housing. Slap the universal components in there and off you go. *I have all the exact dimensions of the gen2 housing somewhere if anyone needs them, btw (if I...

    Fyi: for the cost of a surplus evap you can get an entire system from Coldmaster. You need the pulley and bracket still, but saves thousands of dollars going this route. https://www.ebay.com/itm/264706381764?hash=item3da1bad7c4:g:ZFYAAOSwM9henfeC...

    You can find the gen2 evap/blower on Ebay still.

    CTIS and Arduino

    My controller is going tits-up. It's been acting up for some time. Mine is an A1R with the C7 and all sorts of fun electrical bits. The controller is different than the A0 models (I'm told that they are totally incompatible). I'm not really interested in spending a grand on the correct...

    1078 A0 door handles

    Yes, lots of folks have swapped to TriMark handles (basically the gen2). They can be found all over for ~$50-80 pr (or for $500-600 pr from one of our friendly point of compass surplus scalpers). Pretty simple mod (there's a few videos out there).

    Max forestry tool …. Are they any good?

    Unless it comes with someone to do the digging, no.... ;)

    No start A1

    Prime it? Could be fuel? Is the bulb hard? Your yard guy is wrong.

    He Wouldn't Trade

    Nice. I mentioned traveling the Alaska >Baja> Central > South America route. He echoed what others have said about the hazards of a miltary paint scheme in 3rd-world shitholes. He also noted that I'd be wise not to be wearing the camo pants I had on. So color is....situational :)

    He Wouldn't Trade

    btw: I think he said it was a Kenworth base. Globalxvehicles was the builder. According to their site, it's a base $700K build.

    Traveler just passing thru. Been down here about two weeks he said. He came down to check out SpaceX at Boca. He spend the night in the lot across the street when he was there. He showed me pics and the entire facility was right out his window. And he was here for the temps (said he...

    LMTV Cargo Cover install questions

    Having the OEM 4 bows can still allow water to pool on the cover, so I've always double up and made an extra set. Another pro tip (if you leave your canopy frame on full time) is to throw a ziptie around the bar at each side of the bow. It will prevent the bows from sliding around which...

    Warren hydraulic winch

    Sadly, it's all rebranded China crap these days (Warn, Ramsey, Sherpa). "Assembled in America" is just like "Assembled in Australia" when 100% of the components were made in China. But the Aussies speak highly of the Sherpas and they *do* know off roading. The Sherpa owners that I've...
