I buried my XM818 to the axles today.
On the plus side, I know the sprag works properly as they were all 10 turning, spinning in the mud digging trenches.
Ranchhopper did a digital camo paint job that looked pretty good.
In your climate (WI) I'd worry about applying bedliner. The potential to rust away underneath strikes me as pretty high...
You're getting fluid in the air side, and air in the fluid side. I don't know at what point the airpack will stop boosting, but I strongly suspect your pedal will go to the floor with no braking effect well before that happens.
I'd replace the airpac before badness ensues. I think...
Passive booby traps are a felony most places, including California for sure.
Although generally speaking if you catch them in the act there's
not much limit to what you can do. It just can't be self activated.
Today's project is the resolution of the seating issue.
Pictures of the problem, and the solution.
Now to fab brackets....
I'm just going to mount the MRAP seat onto the springer base. I'm going to retain the original seatbelt that's part of the springer base.

That ampacity chart is for continuous duty.
For brief periods 2/0 can carry much more than that. Cranking the NH250 will pull 600-1000amps and heat up 2/0 slave cables to a very pronounced degree. To the point that you have to stop and let them cool.
I question your 60amp number. Is that a...
The original plan was for the guy to bring his truck to OK and we'd mount the bed there.
As it worked out, it was just better for me to deliver the bed. So the cutting down, rewelding, and painting was done in OK. Then I delivered the bed and we placed it on his truck. We then designed brackets...
I'm making a winchmount for an 18k warn winch as we speak. My number is 314 534 8447. Text me and I'll send pics when I get it done. Probably late march.
thanks
