There was a guy on CL selling a complete metal cage w/canvas for m1008.... I wanna say couple hundred bucks.

Battery cutoff switches aren't a bad thing.... The tiedowns were temporary..

Synchronized my Whelen and Federal Signal traffic directors... Feels better now that they're not completely out of sync....

If you're going 55 in an 80? lol. You're a slow moving vehicle. Tangentially related... I hate it with a PASSION when I'm blocking a lane, arrow stick on, flashing lights, and people wanna come RIGHT UP to my vehicle before changing lanes... There are some cases where you had a MILE + (VERY...

Most states require flashing warning lights on slow moving vehicles. The definition of flashing lights and what constitutes a slow moving vehicle vary by state law. 15 MPH is the marker I use as well... There are some states, like WA, where any back up of 5 vehicles or more necessitates you...

I think I paid 8$ at Oreilly for my lock...

93* to 83*... Not bad.

I did peel and seal, foam, and indoor/outdoor carpet.... You could actually have a normal conversation in the highway..lol. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?104148-85-m1009-wip

Luckily mine was already stopped when it did that. I pulled the steering wheel and gutted the steering lock, then used 5 ton switches as start/run/accy... https://youtu.be/OAm-N_PbREE

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-3-in-Zinc-Plated-Double-Hinge-Safety-Hasp-15128/202033920 Is something similar to what I used. Don't forget your anti-theft device! (Doubles as cruise control!)

Didn't see any boxes of grid squares either....

CFR = code of federal regulations Interesting, that they cited you with violating federal law..

If one O-ring failed, any others that haven't failed won't be far behind.. Kinda like changing headlight bulbs in pairs...

There is a retention tab that locks the connector on. Also, the tabs are just held in place via screws, so you can unscrew the nut, remove the tabs, and use the existing ring connectors if you choose.

Replaced the GP relay on my M1031.. I converted it to manual push button years ago, and noticed it would 'clunk' but I'd get no juice (led on output, so no light =no plugs). It went from happening once a month to once a week to having to sit there cycling the solenoid until it'd 'catch'. So...

Previous tickets, especially dismissed ones, cannot, per law, be used against someone to determine fault or guilt on a current matter. This is called prejudice. if I flip a quarter 4 times, and 3 times it comes up heads, what's the probability of the next flip being heads? If you know...

I dunno about NC, but I've seen enough cases in the few times I've had to be in court, that if you show up in court with reg/insurance/etc they usually look at it as 'lesson learned' and toss it. If this is the case, it does nothing to discourage the behavior. They have nothing to lose, because...

Yup.. I hated MD.... Full size pickup towing a trailer with lawnmower and weedwhacker and OMGZ all **** breaks loose, but 80 y/o grandma driving a converted MCI pushing 45ft and near 50k lbs and she's just fine on her regular license she's had since the 60's....

For all those 'keep it stock' people... Remember, just because 'it's always been done that way' or 'that's the way it was designed', doesn't mean it's the right or best way... It's one thing if it's a museum piece, but as a daily driver, reliability is more important than originality, IMHO...

I bypassed every weigh station from Ft. Bragg to Seattle.. Never an issue... in an M934 no less...
