Imagine if you were paid by the hour though.

Hank, by any chance you have some other pictures of your install?

Without turning this into a cdl thread I will say this and hopefully it will be the end of it. Some states have provisions in the books for antique vehicles registered as such that allow you to operate them without a cdl. Also, please for a second take the time to understand some states have...

Thank you all for your replies. 98G, got it, just have to sit and think where and I'll let you know.

If I had known sooner I would have done the bearing job on the trailer so we could camp out. We're only 80 miles away so driving back and forth for this year won't be so bad.

Ok I'm just getting caught up in this. Bret mentioned it to me so I will be there with the 4 kids and a content wife, lol Should have the 818, should. I need more details, is it camping style, or cabins? I'm new to this and I missed the GA rally last year so this is a little easier on the...

I first tried a rubberize paint but didn't like it so I peeled it off, took the orbital sander to it again and put 4 coats of brown camouflage from home depot on it. Has two coats on the underside. This is my first attempt at bondo and I think I did an alright job. It's the dash that will...

Yea I know, was just thinking out loud again. I have a ~3500 watt onan gas generator that is going to go on the M750 trailer, if it was diesel it would go on the truck in a heartbeat.

I like simplicity in my life, lol Oh the struggles of trying to do something easy. I'm more of an electrical engineering type guy rather than a metal fabricating type. I can turn a wrench, diagnose, and replace parts all day but building brackets just isn't my number one skill. I'm already...

When I search for j-180 mount type alternators I come up with delco 20si, 35si, 21si, 22si, 24si, 28si, 33si and so on. Biggest thing is if I convert completely to 12v I would need to have a minimum of 250 amp. If I could get a dual bracket and put a 10si style on it I would prefer that so much...

Civilian, looks like a logging trailer from the roll bar on the back. Thanks to who changed the title. Heavy Equipment Transporter Trailer

So I've been scouring through the searches on here trying to see what civilian alternator would bolt right in where the military one is and nothing solid. My searching skills must really suck. I want to either change out completely the 24v to a 12v system or add a 12v alternator. Would prefer...

Sorry for digging up an old thread but how did you do your pto? That looks like the transfer or am I just not looking correctly?

I put a het seat in my 818, best thing I did for my back.

Loved my frankentruck in Iraq. Air seat didn't work, air conditioner barely worked, over worked that turbo and surprised it made it half the time.

My aluminum mrap wheels didn't have orings on them and they came off the caimains in Texas. I know when I got the steel combat wheels I just went on eBay and ordered the thick orings for 20" combat wheels.

Cost of ownership will increase relative to the size of the vehicle. Being a mv it already increases it. Keep in mind the oil quantity needed in your decision for synthetic oil, it can get expensive real quick. Parts replacement depends a lot on the condition of when you get it and also how...

It matters which battery you connect you very much. If wanting to tap 12v do it on the batter that provides the ground to the system. If you do it on the last battery you could fry your electronics, especially the cb. Side note: Converters change same type voltages, dc-dc, ac-ac. You will...

Finished stripping the transmission hump today and filled in the holes I drilled and filled in the one little dip where something could go. Gotta finish sanding tomorrow but I'm liking where this is going. I went with bondo as a test bed as the usc metal filler is twice as much as bondo.
