    What’s your favorite Aviation/Airplane book?

    SAS & LDRG. Good choice. My 48' CJ2A is being morphed into an parade SAS jeep.[emoji106]

    M416 hct?

    Nice! Is it hinged at the tongue end, with pneumatic cylinders to hold it open? Or put the hinge on the side. So much easier to use if it is going to be a camp trailer.

    Mini Electricity Meter

    That ekm meter is nice. Could easily be wired inline with the output from the inverter and only $90. Good find. A $20 kila-watt meter from wally world and a cheap extension cord, $10 and you could also wire it between the output of the inverter and your outlets. The $90 option would be...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    Twofive35, the Wagner power painter I use has a plastic gage, like a long thin pitch fork, with 1/2" gap between the forks. You dip it in the paint and if the paint can't bridge the gap then the paint is thin enough to spray, otherwise you drip another few drops of water into the paint, stir and...

    2.5 Locking hubs group buy

    Florida AKM, look at the hubs. There are probably 2 screws in each hub already. So you only need 8 in the bag. If you are talking of the large gasket that goes between the lockout and the hub, a bit of rtv at the tears will make things seal. You should only need the inner circle of the...

    Introducing my M35

    Thanx a bunch for the pictures Flywheel. And for taking the time to disassemble the fuel can setup. It is most appreciated. I saw another front bumper mount fuel can setup that used the jerry can holders And they cost in the $65 each range. Your setup looks like something I could fabricate.

    2.5 Locking hubs group buy

    My hubs made it to the Columbia Basin of WA today. Looks like they were also trying to claw their way out of the box. Maybe consider sealing them in a free USPS tyvek mailer before sealing them in the cardboard box. No more cost to the mailer, but harder to lose a single part. Off to leave...

    Introducing my M35

    Very nice acquisition. Congrats. Could you provide some pictures of how the front bumper fuel cans are mounted? I really would like to duplicate that look.

    2.5 Locking hubs group buy

    I might have to paint my rims brushed aluminum now, in order to match the lock outs. Although your black rim with aluminum hi-lites is nice also. Thanx for the front end version of the step Xstep. I will have to wait until noon for the mail to be delivered, and even then it is not a sure...

    2.5 Locking hubs group buy

    So who is going to do a step by step installation thread with plenty of pictures? Or is it as easy as unbolt, bolt back on? Do they need axle shafts with splines at both ends? Guess it is time to go look up some locker threads.

    Working On The M561 Gama Goat

    I will have to try and post the link to the YouTube page. One of the Tamiya big wigs is a member of a Japanese MV club and has a m792 goat. He fixed it up and used it as a static display at a toy convention when he released the model. There are also YouTube's of the goat in a jeep convoy as...
