    General Dynamics Portable Vehicle Arresting Barrier Manual?

    That's pulling up a gas mask for me. I did find another PVAB TM that was used by the Marines I think. But it's just a net and some stuff that stows in a couple packs. This thing pops up out of the ground and comes in six wooden crates. I've got the gist of setting most of it up, but as I...

    ‘Other’ air conditioning options…

    My first truck had a gen1 OEM a/c and it was "meh". It was cooler but never cold. I sat in a truck with a gen2 a/c and it was a world of difference (both no insulation, btw). Now what those OEM Red Dot unit's put out, I'm not sure. But a HMMVW unit is 24K BTU and by many accounts it don't...

    ‘Other’ air conditioning options…

    Something along these lines would be better suited. Again, a bit of sheet metal work to make it fit like OEM or just mount it in the back of the cab. https://www.ebay.com/itm/264706381764 https://www.ebay.com/itm/254435681460 https://www.ebay.com/itm/264566035395

    ‘Other’ air conditioning options…

    Yep, 30K BTUs is the target number. Even after insulation, window tint, etc if you live in places with real summer heat.

    MAINE "Offroad" registration law change

    They did this to sandrails, dunebuggies, and kit cars in Texas some years back. We're still fighting it.

    So I Jump in the Truck and No Power to WTEC3

    Rule of thumb, when something fails go back to the last thing you screwed with before bothering with the TM. I pulled the 6K generator off the truck to redo some stuff. When I disconnected my leads I had run to the 12v gen starter I inadvertently disconnected the small OEM lead coming off the...

    So I Jump in the Truck and No Power to WTEC3

    I'm surfing the TM as best I can do with my phone. Truck starts just fine, but no power to the controller. Trying to find which relay to check but it's 180 degrees in this cab. LOL I'll also pull the dash and inspect for lose wire,

    AcuTemp Refrigerator

    I tried 10# and 22# struts and the later was perfect. It should have enough to lift both lids once I connect them with a strap or something. Struts: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082SR3MPQ Rubber catches https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Y7XDT63 Hinges https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0721K827M...

    General Dynamics Portable Vehicle Arresting Barrier Manual?

    I picked up a PVAB for $25 awhile back. I figured I could make a potato launcher or something out of it if it was missing bits, but after cleaning up the valves and installing a new set of batteries I aired it up everything works. Best I can tell, it is complete.. The only thing missing was...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    No roofies. I'm old school. I still have ten thousand Quaaludes from the 70's in cold storage... ☮💤

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    My GSD was a washout LEO K9. Too prey driven and highly aggressive to other animals (squirrels, cats, dogs, horse....straight for the throat). People get too bitchy when she runs off with one of the loose dogs (illegal, btw) in her jaws shacking them till their widdle necks snap. I don't go...

    Moving my Transmission cooler

    Oh, don't get me started on water in a trans. He's my parts truck (that I was planning on fixing up). Oddly, this was NOT from radiator cross contamination. Best I can figure is they forded it with the plug out. /shrug
