The small ones are 1000 gallons.
4500 gallons isn't uncommon. 70 MPH on the runway also isn't crazy. Dual 700 HP engines.
They are amazingly fun to drive.
And have a piercing nozzle to stick inside the hull if needed.
Anywhere on the field in < 180 seconds.
You could see the water spilling...
I tend to give real names and location also. Except reddit. Because reddit.
In general, we live in a world where information that you would gladly share with people can now be shared with more people. Many more. A conversation you'd have had with a bunch of guys around the water cooler at NAPA...
And I can't equate SwampDonkey and any pictures I've seen on this board of the inside of his shop and other things he has with a real person who can be visited. (Well, maybe if I really started to stalk around, but *I* don't really care.)
Of course, I haven't checked to see if SS strips out the...
Replaced the coolant tank with one that doesn't leak.
Previous would always leak out a gallon and not allow the system to hold pressure.
Exhaust bolts cam out way easier than I'd have guessed they would.
While I don't doubt it's true the truck could take it, I've never see a M939 truck w/ separate cross country / highway load ratings. M35 and M813, sure... (And the 813's used the same axles IIRC, so why the labeling changed I don't understand.)
Said **** it and replaced the POS 24V to 12V converter on the camera system with a way too large transformer.
Turns out the system draws 0.45A, new transformer rated for 10A. So shouldn't blow this one out.
I've decided Pyle is the Harbor Freight of cameras.
EGT installed, last RCL's mounted. Total count is 14. Daylight on demand.
Painted a few things, like the bed crane and chocks. Got a car show at work this week. Should be interesting, assuming security and facilities can agree where I can park.
Installed a commercial air ride seat, International from 2013 that I picked up at an auction a couple weeks ago. Still need to plumb it into the airline.
Still need to plumb the airline.
Found this when swapping seats.
So the work took a bit longer and grew in scope.
Touched up the roof paint where it had been all green and put some color back into it.
Added what's may be an excessive amount of LED lights, so likely just the right amount.
The front cluster:
High and side / cargo lights.
And some backup lights, with delineator plates.
Took the stack...
The most they can move if the friction fails is about 2". The U-bolts will have to break for the bars to actually be able to come out. The angle iron is long enough that it can't be pulled through either side while attached to the bar parts, and the collars prevent the bars from sliding through...
Thanks. Saved the covers so when I paint the next set to go on...
24V to USB. Put a fuse block in a while ago, so one more entry.

Cheap, tested it with an old cell phone and it charged it... I'll...
