Nice job, glad it worked out as planned. The "warning" switches are pretty easy to wire up, just watch out when wiring a "Eject" switch up, and never install a "Destruct" switch..... JC

Now that's a clean idea. Saved for later. Nice work JC

Use a multi meter to determine the switch config/continuity. The switch you have is off a wrecker, it powers two rotating beacons. Real simple circuit. Power through the switch to one connector of the bulb, other connection at bulb go to ground. As for your intial power source, find a splice...

An offer is not an insult, never know what the guy wants out of it. Nice ones w/ all compliments $500- $650.

Good for you. It's hard to explain the satisfaction one gets when you accomplish a complicated mechanical repair/task. Time spent reviewing the manuals and understanding the tools needed to accomplish a job is time well spent. Tribal knowledge is only as good as someone else's success/failures...

Welcome from Kentucky. Are all vehicles painted canary yellow on the Canary Islands? Send more pics. JC

Hambo, GL has a lot of inventory to move in the next month or so. Indy and Sparta are relatively close and have good contacts to preview a truck for you. Half the fun is the recovery. You may save a few K$$. Just a thought. JC

Woody, 90 psi in the front tires, 70 psi in the rear, Find an operators manual and get real familiar with the truck before driving around here and there. These trucks are relatively easy to operate and easier to get in trouble with. Have fun, be safe. JC

Welcome from Kentucky, lots of good info and experience on this site. Do yourself a big favor and find/download the applicable manuals (TMs) for your vehicle and start reading. JC

Not a big fan of bobbed trucks, but it looks good. The gun ring sets it off, nice work to the original bed. Have fun. JC

Congrats from Kentucky, a truck, trailer, generator, and an accommodating Mrs. , you are set. Teach her to drive it, she'll fit in the drivers seat probably better than you. Definitely keep the generator handy, when the lights go out you will be king of the block. JC

That would be the one and only Mr Bob Rainville, he does't check his SS account very often, call him at 317 710-2240. He is assisting in a trailer recovery today. He's the guy for Indy. JC

My bad, I took it that the rear support rod is stuck up. Front gear is stuck up, try supporting most of it's weight while working the release. Lube the lock pins well. Do not sit under the front of the trailer.

Get on your butt and under the trailer, see how the mechimism works and releases. You may need to support the weight of the gear rod, additionally make sure that the foot pad is not wedged up to the lower cross member. If the leg is extended just right it can wedge up to the frame rail when...

A dual brake truck with a winch, that used to haul wenches, now that's cool. Way to improvise and get her home. JC

Something had to be left on. These truck are designed to sit for long period with zero drain. I have several that sit for weeks and the voltage drain is not measurable. They fire right up on the first rotation of the crank. Wire it a 200 amp keyed master switch for the battery and isolate the...

Can I get a halaluea!

Hi back at you from Kentucky, does that truck fit on them roads. Sent time in Dublin/Malahide in the late 90's. The Ford Focus I drove barely fit on some of those roads. You have a beautiful country and great brewed products.

Rough roads and air time will bang up a marginal battery, load test each battery, one has a broken plate and will be open. PCB works if the starter is engaging.

Crash, Looks like you have a M105A2 that has been stripped. Even the hand brakes are gone. Be very careful and keep it chocked, they will roll away from you, ( or into you). I move them with a F350 with a raised pintle adapter, however they are to big for everyday civi pickup use without major...
