You don't need a whole power pack, just a transmission. I don't think I will try rebuilding that one, by the time you buy all the bearing and syncronizers it would be cheaper to buy another transmission. I have rebuilt a couple of them, they are not a lot of fun to get apart, have band-aids...

As I have been for years I am awed by your work. Now the big question, how much do you figure all of that which you have added weighs? Your steel supplier must love you and I would love to see your metalworking equipment. Bending and cutting steel that size that cleanly takes some serious...

No big deal, people will just have to put up with my bad spelling on those forums.:roll:

I see, We had that on another forum I belong to. Guy would delete all his posts and all of a sudden the tread makes no sense. Rick

OK, It will let me edit these here but not the ones where I replied to Hillbilly Wizard. ????

Can't edit my posts anymore? 02/26/13 Something new? My spelling is terrible so I always have to go back and correct. Yes, I am one of THOSE guys. Rick

I don't see any sled tracks? No shack? I remember doing that with a couple of tip ups and a lot of cloths and a Thermos of coffee. I'll take the shack at this age!!!

You Southern boys don't really understand ice fishing. You see you have this shack you tow out on the lake but it is what is in the shack that counts! Honda EU2000 generator, Satellite receiver, TV, couple lounge chairs, heater. The floor is the fridge so no worries there. YUP, We be fishin'...

Hey Doghead, need an ice fishing partner? I'll come back to this in the spring when the supernerds are done showing off. If I am ice fishing I can't get any of it on my dumb phone.

That's what all the other smart phone users say isn't it? Shot that theory to ................................

You are going to get all the same "EXPERTS" as any other thread. That is why I no longer post on here about this problem. By the way, there is no track bar on a CUCV.

Good point, You will need commercial insurance no matter what because you are hauling for profit. I get the feeling that was what he might be trying to avoid.

In any business reliability and parts availability is everything. I don't think you have either with the military truck plus the parts, when you find them, will be expensive. I second the pick-up and trailer. Does not really have to be diesel, when you compare the price of gas to diesel and then...

Both of mine peg the gauge when it is first started and then drop down to about 30 lbs. as it warms up.

Looking at that picture again I see that the generator head is towards the tongue and it also looks like the engine is ahead of the axle as well with only the control unit on the back side of the axle. If that is the case you probably could mount a fairly large tank on the back. Problem is that...

I could see him putting tracks on it but knowing how much Soni loves his steel plate I don't think you will ever see amphibious or VTOL.:-D

You have room front and back, why don't you think about two tanks but have them plumbed together so that they empty at the same rate and therefore keep the load balanced. All it would take is a 1/4 inch line between the two tanks and that would even out the level but not allow a rapid transfer...

50 gallons of fuel forward of the unit adds 350lbs of weight to the tongue of the trailer!! You may want to rethink that and go with multiple smaller tanks distributed evenly.

For Sale?! That doesn't sound good.:cry:

This is exactly why I have followed Soni's work for many years. PLUS, he is doing it outside! No garage here. How many of you guys build something like this in the winter outside?
