    IBIS Tek light bar

    I assume a custom angled bracket for the control box inside? It all looks NICE! [thumbzup]

    Roadside safety: Stay Alive!

    One more thing about the collapsable cones: The cones collapse to a base width of about 10"x10" and a height of about 2-1/4" with the rubber feet factored in. I was just *barely* able to fit 2 of them into what I think is called a tall 30mm ammo can. (Probably compressed/flexed the plastic...

    24v Battery chargers

    This is exactly what I use on my deuce and a half and MEP-016B generator (a little over-kill for the MUCH smaller generator batteries in my opinion, but I'm still happy with it). Rated for 2.5A at full charge, but is a smart charger that'll do Bulk Charge -> Soak -> Maintenance. Can leave...

    Welcome! Many technical manuals are freely downloadable from the site here for your truck. See the "Technical Manuals" link above. I believe the truck you have, M923, is what is termed an M939 series, and those TM's are here...

    Posting pictures of PNG type defalts to very small size

    Posting pictures of PNG type defaults to very small size Is there a preference setting I can change when posting images of type "PNG" so that said PNG images are much larger? Uploading JPGs seems to default to the largest allowed size, however, when I upload PNGs it seems to default to the...

    Last minute Big Bend Trip

    I can only input: http://www.cad-comic.com/cad/20110207/ http://theoatmeal.com/pl/bobcats_wednesday/piggers http://theoatmeal.com/pl/working_home/piggers What can I say, I love comics. I blame my Grandma for always saving the Sunday weekly funnies for me.

    Medium Tow Bar Storage Mount, On Vehicle, Ideas?

    I've seen many threads for tow bar storage locations in the Deuce forums. Did your search only include the 5-Ton? I realize the deuce isn't exactly the same, but should at least still spark very similar ideas. Such as like above/below the bumper, front of the bed (inside) seem to be common...

    Roadside safety: Stay Alive!

    Here's a few photos of the collapsable cones that I meant to provide. Excuse the tape on the corner of the cone base - that's just to remind me of the installed batteries' expiration date. There is an LED inside the cone base and the removable tip. You just press the power button to cycle...

    Tire chain question

    Thanks Artisan for the link and tip to Uncle Sam's for the tighteners! However, I'm a bit confused by their description: http://www.unclesamsretailoutlet.com/Tire-Chain-Rubber-Tighteners-New-p/6198.htm "For Truck Tires 18" & Larger" I don't know about you, but I don't consider an 18" tire a...

    Roadside safety: Stay Alive!

    As a maybe helpful FYI to those considering these: I thought that these sounded like a great idea so I purchased 2 sets (one for deuce, one for wrecker). I just received them in the mail, but haven't had time to go through both boxes (4 per box). First thing I noticed is that indeed they have...

    any cucv's in utah...lets play

    TERMINAL is quite correct. :lol: With stock tires the TMs (and Dash data plate) list a maximum speed of 56mph. TM also says best fuel economy will be around 2000 - 2100 RPM. Personally, with my stock tires, I like to cruise at 45 mph and my tachometer reads about 2100-2200. I can, and have...
