Welcome from "The Old Line State."

Here's a twist. I'm seriously considering buying a small tractor-loader-backhoe (Kubota BX25D) due to cost constraints and I'm not planning on doing any serious farming on my place in TN (might not grow soybeans and let the gov't pay me). For the occasions I MIGHT want to plow, till or disc...

I put a Mictuning 21.5" amber/white LED light bar on my truck, just drilled into the winch "panel"/front bumper. At 120 Watts, 24 Volts, steady current draw is 5 Amps. I used a wiresizer calculator/app for a 3% voltage drop (0.72V) at 50% surge OVER (7.5A) and found 18 gauge was fine, 16 gauge...

Two HMMWVs? Makes sense to have one for spares... :-P Welcome aboard.

Oh, also finished installing the high-back driver's seat. I like it. Not sure if/when I'll add some back-tilt to it like I did the commander's seat (posted here a couple weeks ago), but it's an easy fix. Next job is dropping the transfer case and replacing some driveshafts.

Got the truck into the garage. Ins. will want to know it's garaged. Tight fit but I CAN move around it, will have more room in a few weeks when my son goes off to grad school, drums get packed and moved into his room along with several of the boxes of stuff he's collected. Bench and coffee...

You're welcome. I wanted to make sure someone didn't "steer you wrong." ahem.

Man, where's that popcorn emoji when you really need it?

I bought this on the recommendation of someone here months ago: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002KO0QS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It worked, but only because I had a couple of 4" 1/4-20 screws, nuts and washers, none of the threaded parts in the kit fit.

I'm in. In for a penny, in for another couple hundred bucks. ;-) Payment goes to?

Situational awareness. Thanks, marchplummer. I was directed to the "sticky" regarding insurance. The situation is fluid, the sticky not entirely up to date. No doom-gloom intended (not directed at YOU) , that's merely "projection" on the part of others reading into my post. Consider it FYI...

I cleared/deleted cookies and site's back to normal. (iPad)

Yep, did that, also PM'd SWBradley1 (moderator) who said he'd added a warning somewhere. This may be a harbinger...

I got an email from GEICO Wednesday AM about my new ID cards. Four vehicles only. I went with GEICO in October for HMMWV insurance - combined with my Tacoma I was going to SAVE about $500 a year with both cars over what USAA was charging me for the Tacoma alone. Added 3 other cars in Dec...

I laughed out loud at your comment "because I let you" - maybe he wasn't up on memes, definitely not in a place to appreciate the joke as it applied to a HMMWV. I got pulled over once and when asked if I knew why I had the presence of mind to say "It's your word against mine officer, so does it...

I get that sometimes on my iPad or iPhone. Not always. try to find a setting in your browser or OS for "mobile" site and change it.

Looks simple enough, elegant, even. Of course, a good "tactical black" or camo finish would take the prize. Looking forward to reading test results from the early adopters. Thanks for posting.

I think you're looking for this: 232292723537 over on the evil web auction site. I got one through the seller months ago, had to make clamp hardware (buy bolts, drill holes, tap holes, buy LONG threaded bolts, "weld" in place with loctite red, make plates, wing nuts). It's all shown in Figure...
