    A Hens Tooth Up For Auction

    I never saw it out there. I dropped the trailer Thrus and came back into town. It had been out there on it's own with roaming dogs, drunks, stoners, meth heads, etc for four days...

    A Hens Tooth Up For Auction

    Speaking of hens teeth... The house across from mine became a rental two years ago. Nice guys from San Antonio who transferred to corpus moved in. Father, two sons (one ex-Army on Marine). All hard working dudes. When the pandemic hit full swing, they got a chicken at the bequest of one of...

    not good I take it....

    Pretty sure BAE was able to find worse for less. My 2008 has worst rubber in it than my 1998.

    Buying My First - Plan It To Be A Beyond The RV Crowd RV

    And fyi: if you end up titling it as an motorhome, weight (CDL status) won't matter Motorhomes are except from weight restrictions in most states if I'm not mistaken.

    Buying My First - Plan It To Be A Beyond The RV Crowd RV

    Well the good news is that there are no shortage of the 5-ton and old duce shop vans. I can already tell by the mudflaps that at least at some point the price was 2-3x what it can be found for elsewhere ;)

    Buying My First - Plan It To Be A Beyond The RV Crowd RV

    Well you can get in the ballpark with an M9xx or M185 shop van weight. *edit: that would be ~18000-19000 GVW The title/OEM weight will of course not take into account some factors there. The only way to get it correct is a trip to the CAT scales . They are located...

    M1082 Air Brake Valves(s) Diagram? Midland/Haldex

    On the M1082 trailer there is a valve going into the air tank. It's not like the setup on the trucks, obviously. It has a single "Supply" inlet (the second is capped) which is fed by service air and a "Control" inlet that t's off to emergency and the brakes. There is...

    Expeditions, adventures or just a campout

    Sad story. And to make it worse, we'll have nothing to turn in when the buy back comes. No money for us I guess... :(

    Expeditions, adventures or just a campout

    That sucks. I lost all of my guns and ammo to a tragic boating accident. No guns here, nope...

    A Hens Tooth Up For Auction

    Back up for auction, again? Someone must have flaked... edit: Ah, disregard. That's not the one that hit the overpass

    Cat 3116 no engine oil drain plug.

    Not uncommon for all fluids to have been drained when something comes back from overseas. Assuming that's the scenario. I bet GP didn't list it as a runner at auction...(good thing they didn't run it w/o oil). Are all the other fluids missing? A drain plug can be found at...

    FMTV LVAD soft top

    Yeah, a sail and canvas shop can make a cover. You could use hardware from a number of sources. I agree that the airdrop cab warrants this mod. :)

    Radiant Floor Heat

    It's at best, a $300 max option to me. I may just slap one of these down if anything. I'll have lots of diesel for the gen. And I doubt it takies long to heat up. ;)...

    Radiant Floor Heat

    Yep, hydronic systems are the rage (and handy for heating the block, etc if done right). But they're also like $4K for the silly heater and then you start buying fittings and....ka-ching...

    Radiant Floor Heat

    Oh yeah, I've have the hab mocked up in various floorplans for a couple years now. I just gutted it all again to fit the kitchen module. All just working mockups, of course. Still shuffling the interior layout around a bit...improving, changing as I spend more time in it.

    Radiant Floor Heat

    A buddy gave me three boxes of flooring that I'm going to use. Four boxes would be 100% coverage but he said that this was a discontinued flooring. So if I don't lay it under the kitechn cabinets and bathroom, I'll have exactly enough. A few months back I also snagged...

    Radiant Floor Heat

    Related question: Laminate flooring is not recommended to be glued down. Since it is a floating floor, it is meant to support itself via locking systems and have no connection to the subfloor. Buti t's also meant to be used in a house. And houses don't flop 3-4 root in the air going...
