    400 sb Chevy in XM 708

    Might be hard on the axle shafts.

    what is this? tracked vehicle with pallet loading system

    Agreed, wrong ID on my part. Undercarriage is 113 though.

    HMMWV acquisition and rebuild

    Looks really good just as it is. Way better idea to start with something like this rather than a pair of frame rails! Where did you find it? Unusual to find the pickup version, everyone quickly makes a 4 door out of them.

    Blinker/Flasher Problem

    To get at the electrical part of the ignition switch you don 't take off the steering wheel, you lower down the steering column by removing the two nuts holding it up. That said, your problem is much more likely to be the fusebox or fusible links.

    Did I buy the wrong winch for a m818??

    Someone put the top plate from a deuce winch on your Garwood 20k.

    Humvee M998 Rear tires

    Only so much. The upper control arms have shims that can be removed, but unloaded, especially with the heavy springs, the truck will ride like a M151.

    Louisiana to NC and back in the Deuce

    . I've flat towed lots of G749s and they tow ok with the steering wheel loose.

    Louisiana to NC and back in the Deuce

    That will be hot and slow. Wanna put an Ontos in the deuce for ballast and bring it back for me? (Kidding)

    Renting the Deuce

    That's the movie I rented to. You lost out on BIG $$$. They ran over on the schedule and they had my truck (deuce) for WEEKS. I made a down payment on a house with the money I made on Saving Jessica Lynch. Truck came back a little worse for wear (they rammed a school bus head on with it at...

    what is this? tracked vehicle with pallet loading system

    Looks like a XM474E2 Pershing Missile Carrier chassis. Wehring has one and it is a blast to drive. 75M Chrysler 361 engine, Allison Trans, Allison Cross Drive, all from the M113.

    Renting the Deuce

    I was getting $350 a day unmanned 10 years ago for a made for TV movie.

    Artisan's M916

    A 3/4" supply pipe would not be big enough for a 3-2 house either if you turn on every faucet and toilet and shower and appliance. But that is not going to happen. 85 amps will carry the upconverter and normal truck load.

    Artisan's M916

    I gave my opinion on post 114. What I plan to do: Upconverter 12V to 24V, Red Dot load only, stock alt with stock T-R doing it's usual thing. LED headlights shaving off 14 amps or so. The rest of what is being discussed it too complicated for this ol' boy.

    ramp & trailer advice for loading atvs into m923a1

    My opinion is that it would be safer to build a small bed-mounted crane to hoist the atvs in and out. It could flip down when not in use.

    Winch on sale today.

    I did. Milemarker sells all the parts you need to connect to virtually any light truck. This one is going on the front of my M1031. Free shipping!

    Artisan's M916

    RRacing is correct, the compressor does not cycle on this setup because there is no thermostat in the cab. If the compressor cuts out, it is doing so because of low pressure protection switch. Jeep, yes, Wehring came to my rescue and fetched the trailer for me. He is badged and went through a...

    Artisan's M916

    The DC up is the way to go. Have it dedicated to the A/C system (match amps). Leave the T-R in place. If the 12-24 up converter blows, well you ride hot. If you go through the pain of installing a 24 volt alt and a 24-12 down converter, if it blows, you are inop on the side of the road.

    Artisan's M916

    Jeep: Yes, while I was getting badged in, the T-R commenced to smoking and security called base FD and they rolled every piece of apparatus on the site. It was BEYOND EMBARRASSING. By the time they rolled up, I had the batteries disconnected and the T-R was just simmering. I was asked to...

    Artisan's M916

    Likely the pressure switches and harnesses are also sized for the 24 volt ampacity. I think you are going to run into more cost converting the military kit into 12 volt than if you had bought a Red Dot civi universal application backwall A/C kit. Personally I am going to side with reb87...

    Scout car clutch problems.

    Sounds like the pilot bearing is seizing up when it gets hot?
