Odd how it is... I am not so sure that a "thumbs up" is the right thing to "Like" something like this - but something had to be said. I will be 61 in another couple of months and yeah, way to young to be gone... It would be nice if there was a youngster with electronic skills who could help...

No sags in the soft top in heavy snow (where you live). I would go for the hard top. You can insulate it and make it even quieter. Insulation helps keep the heat off your head in the summer too. If noise is a concern, insulation like a cattle mat on the floor will help cut down on noise too...

Pretty amazing how much like a fighter a commercial plane can be. Especially when it isn't hauling 200 fatboys weighing in at 200 pounds each (40,000#) + another hundred pounds each (20,000#) in the luggage compartment! Sixty thousand pounds less makes a BIG difference. I remember when I...

Thanks Chris! Thanks for allowing us to be the printer for the 2021 MV of the Year calendar. - Tim

Dang right!! Something like that to work in would be so neat! Natural heating and cooling. Constant temperature and the story I read says they are temperature and humidity controlled environments. Guess if you want the ammo to work and the equipment "rust free" that would be pretty...

I couldn't resist. There is a nice article on Wiki that had pictures. Looks like a mini version of Cheyenne Mountain. And it makes you wonder what the Evil Empire knew about what we had stored there in the 80's... I love our country! According to the article that I read, there are at...

I got the approval I needed to create the SS MV of Month calendar. I am working on a web portal now to receive orders. That should be finished tonight or tomorrow if all goes smoothly. My plan is to use UPS for shipping only because they stop here every day to pick up packages. To be...

Rubber coating would definitely be the way to go! Kinda like the stuff you can buy to coat the handles of hand tools... It would be a lot more durable! Heck of a plan Godspeed131 !

You say "Regular People" can snap a picture with their cell phones... You should be in the printing business and see some of the gosh-awful stuff we get! They say "Oh, well it looked really nice when I took the picture." We get a 72dpi 4 inch by 5 inch picture and they want a 24x36 inch...

Moleskin - like you would find at the drug store for shoes that rub a blister on your foot - works pretty well as a "scuff shield" for rifle racks. They also make Moleskin without the "sticky" on the back. For long term padding in a hot environment (think big truck!) I have used it that way...

I was looking for something else and came across a 2010 post about head gaskets. TONS of information! https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/head-gasket-repair-walk-through-go-to-post-31.48620/post-552409

Winch is officially bolted to the frame of my M1088! The only strange thing was that the Platform Support Bracket had to be modified... No big deal, bit the winch when bolted in place covered the second hole in that bracket. Used a cutting wheel in a 4 inch grinder to slice it off. Pictures...

Found a thread here with pictures and mounting tips... https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/installation-instructions-for-dual-rifle-mount-kit-m14-m16-rifle-mounting.166211/post-1993507

Wow! That is pretty sad. I was just pricing them - and cost is all over the place. From what I can tell, $200 is about as cheap as I could find a set of 4 LMTV Cab Bushings. Two upper, Two lower and I don't think that included delivery. Found them for considerably more. And as expected...

You are the guy who makes the polyurethane sway bar bushings. Neat! Yes sir. Several people I mentioned my "biscuits" being shredded suggested that spending a few more bucks for poly would be smart. Then they saw one of these (they all work on cars and pickups) and understood that the...

THANKS! I will get out there and look at it from that angle... Floor jack happens to already be out there where we were supporting the back of the winch to bolt it up. I appreciate the info. Now to find some biscuits that aren't old and crusty like what I already have...

My search skills here are pretty crummy unless I know exactly what I am looking for... Is there a string of information here about replacing those rubber cab mounts? I am going the other way - installing a winch - and I was looking at how to replace the right side cab support. Those rubber...

I understand that concept... Going to replace a simple set of spark plugs on something and it ends up getting a new cap, button, wires and anything else that looks like it might need attention. Always from $20 to $200 in a flash! Or more. Still, nothing beats fixing it right... .

Also have to remember that the fan blows anything fluid toward the back of the motor. A leak on the thermostat housing could as easily as not be the problem. Stranger things have happened before. With no "chocolate pudding" on the dipstick or oil filler cap - you either caught it early - or...

Wow... That would be a strange feeling. Turn a corner and a little steering wheel plastic comes off in your hand. Take the next turn and lose a little more... The idea of shielding the side windows would make the protection even better. Another neat idea! I was eyeballing the M373A2 Shop...
