. Okay, so I am with you 100%. It isn't but in the middle 90's here, but the humidity is 80%. Feels pretty dang awful out there! When you get cooler weather, be sure to spray everything air related on the outside of the firewall. Inside under the dash too. DOT has a requirement for air...

. Cool! I was just wondering if I was becoming a grumpy old man or something... :cool:

. That cleaned up lense looks really good! Not sure about the freshly painted lense armor - but maybe after a little sun bleaching it will help match it to the truck. Best part about what you did is that it made YOU happy, so there! :cool: Still, polishing the lense is outstanding! That...

. Don't get to say it very often, but YEP, you got that right! Discouragement at every turn. That applies to these trucks, ownership of whatever everybody else has (Think Volkswagen in the 30's and 40's) but not what YOU want, firearms, and ownership of your own place to live.

. Makes a lot of sense. Most folks at the Outer Banks carry little valve stem caps that auto deflate their tires to play in the sand. And the smarter ones have a small compressor to pump the tires back up when they leave the beach. It isn't CTIS, but it is a manual version of it.

. I think the idea of super singles might have been lost on folks wanting "them big tires" on their trucks. The real reason was to keep our active military on top of the sand. Not to carry more weight. Look at any concrete company here on our corner of the country. Not much sand over here...

. Not trying to be a pest, but what about the other leak toward the back of the truck? Maybe hooking a compressor to the truck for quiet time air leak research... That is cheap. A little soap and a spray bottle and some air.

. Wow... Now that is almost as good as the coke bottle inside the car door with a note in it saying "bet you would never find this rattle". How long did you search for the popping sound in your truck?

. Dang Aussie Bloke ! That is logical. So dang logical that all of us have completely overlooked that tiny bit of information... Maybe this will be easier than it appears at first glance.

. Well said! Quite a few hard and fast rules apply to a big truck - and most of the time - If you wanted to get there ahead of me, you should have started sooner. Another one is old and tried and true: I may be slow, but I am ahead of you. I can say without a doubt that given the...

. I guess I am a little lost, but the Porkiz is easy enough. Where the truth gets stretched a bit. Button and a Clip just flew right over my head. :)

. The art of using a ball peen hammer is pretty much a lost art. It really is a controllable way to cut gaskets!

. Very nicely documented!!

. Every state is different, but the ladies at the contract NCDMV station here in Charlotte know all about it. They have what they call a cheat book for how to do things that are out of the ordinary. Specifically in their book, they are told to pad the VIN with zeros to make it a 17 character...

. Looks like you can say "My Baby just got New Shoes! Really nice...

. I am with you for sure! Gasket punch is a BIG plus and some sort of semi-rigid wood to punch against. Soft pine like a 2x4 or similar beats the gasket material down into the wood. Dull cutters / punches make that problem even worse. I and several of the guys here on the boards have cnc...

. Neat! That looks a lot like my Coleman. Maybe a bit newer than mine - but the one side wider than the other, same corner posts, same screen door. There is definitely a lot of room out back to get in and out the camper door.

. Do you guys in the HMMWV group have a "Parts Spreadsheet" like the 5-Tons and LMTV's? If not, you might be able to create one and get it posted as a "sticky" at the top of the thread. Give what is there a look. There are military parts and cross references to civilian providers like NAPA...

. I know and understand about the old stuff - but if YOU enjoy it - then everybody else can just kiss your (well, you know). I have managed to figure out that tagging everything can be done more cheaply though. I have transporter tags and that way I can "drag the tag" from one truck to...

. Welcome to the outfit! Looks like you have already started looking at or for the books according to your post. The how to offer up money must be done too since you show "New member" under your user name. Don't hesitate to create yourself a thread under generators and post a few pictures...
