    I did have a blowout years ago with the original Michelin 2003 tires.

    FMTV tire wear comparison 395x85R20

    So I have no preconceived ideas on how many miles to expect to get out of a set of tires and was curious what everyone’s real world experience has been with the different tires. My experience has been with a set of unused 2008 Michelin XZL tires I installed 6 years ago. I was hoping to get 10k...

    Get Your Popcorn Ready: Unicorn ALERT

    I seen a few years back I think it was a wrecker sold on eBay for like $60k, if my memory serves me right it was built for the country of Spain just before the went bankrupt. They didn’t come through with the payment and sold it on EBay.

    Clotted axle gear oil

    I agree with ronmar, it looks like grease mixed with gear oil.

    I’m considering taking my original steering wheel off and send to a company to and have it professionally wrapped with leather.

    Aluminum wheels

    It’s really not that complicated though, these are specific for this wheel for only military applications no civilian use. Why I say it’s not that complicated is because a couple years ago when I contacted Hutchinson to purchase them it was a 2 minute conversation and I placed the order and they...

    Aluminum wheels

    So after looking at my old pictures there is not an oring groove. But what I’m trying to say if you got creative you could make something.

    I know this isn’t the best solution but before I found them from Hutchinson I was planning to make them. Take a flange nut, machine an oring groove into it then weld an acorn nut or something similar to the outside of it then mill the inside threads to allow air to pass through. Just saying…..

    Seized ether start solenoid

    So my 2003 probably looks the same. If you find a good part number and a source to purchase it, please share. So rebuilding it is out of the question?

    Seized ether start solenoid

    You’ve peaked my interest. I’ve never needed to use it but definitely want mine in working condition. How did you test it and discover it was seized up?

    CTIS pressure settings increase - no programming, transducer, or module required.

    Totally agree, wish I had known a few years ago.

    CTIS pressure settings increase - no programming, transducer, or module required.

    I managed to get 8 different settings by installing the Amazon transducer in series with the original transducer and installed a switch (I think it was a four pole switch) to toggle between the low and high transducers.

    1079 Getting in the back + liftgate?

    Under the porch is an electric actuator that pivots the stairs up and down. I have a switch inside the habitat so at night I can put the stairs up making it more difficult for anyone to get up there. Also a hidden switch out side. I also got a little crazy and put a remote control switch on it...
