Yeah eBay is full of people who lower the price but then add it to the shipping hoping you won't notice! There's no way that's $900 shipping unless it's shipping from Madagascar!
That USPS is out of control. Of course the diesel prices and everything else have driven up the shipping rates like crazy. Just to send a flat rate small box that will barely ship a wallet is $12!
I've seen some for $600 today and one for $375

I have seen a great swing of prices for those both on various military parts resellers and eBay. Sometimes a couple hundred dollars sometimes a couple thousand. I'm wondering if those are comfortable?
3D printers are not so expensive. Couple hundred dollars for a cheap Chinese one, but I don't buy cheap Chinese crap if I can avoid it. That's a Prusa printer made in Czech Republic. And no Chinese parts. They're just under a thousand and I've had it for 3 years. About $700 if you buy it as a...
That's 100% out of the printer. I've had very good results with this material, and using a gyroid infill you can easily fill it with polyester resin or some other epoxy. Then it's solid and hard. I'm not sure I need to though this material is so very hard and strong.
3D printing of one of the the brake tools nearly done. The inside has a gyroid pattern which is cool because you can fill it with epoxy which is what I will do once it's done printing. Gyroid is kind of like a Mobius strip in 3D form. Pouring in epoxy will go all the way to the bottom and...
These tools are expected to be made out of hot rolled steel. I'm going to try 3D printing them in carbon fiber polycarbonate and see how they do. You may download the SolidWorks or step file or STL file. I may offer them for sale later or if you're interested PM me for a 3D printed version...
I accidentally came across this while searching for something else in the TMs the other day. Cab support tool, haven't found the section yet that shows you how to use it but here it is.
TM_9-2320-366-20-1, unit maintenance 1 of 5, E-4, page E-7, actual page #s are 1537-1540. I have modeled it...
I was just looking through the m1083 TM, and I came across a diagram for making a cab support tool... I'll have to find it again and reference the section!
We got it moved with no problems. Bulldog towing was very professional, and their drivers were former Marine corps wrecker drivers. They got it moved into a very tight dead end neighborhood without so much as even running over a curb!
One question, the back of the truck on the left side of the...
My neighbor's grandson is a mobile mechanic with the local CAT dealer. An exchange for a nice brass CAT belt buckle, he plugged into my truck and gave it a full scan and analysis. Everything looked good!
Using a big rig wrecker and a lowboy we're going to move an old inoperable m813 across the city. I don't know the condition of the brakes or if they're caged or if caging bolts are present but I just want to know if the caging bolts from my fmtv will work with it because I'm just going to bring...
