Just want to put this out here: https://800nonoise.com/product/acoustical-floormats/ (no affiliation, no compensation) they have a 383 green (and 686 tan) textured vinyl composite floor material by the roll. I had been going this way with the M1009(s) to give a quiet decoupled limp loaded mass...

Sure thing, thanks for dropping me a PM. A note, if your indicator LED stays lit even when the relay is not powered, it would suggest that the orange wire under the hood is connected to the wrong relay lug. Good luck!

I went with "XM1027", but the project is gone. Lost everything last fall when the land under my storage unit got sold so someone next door could have a bigger parking lot, couldn't find a place to land everything so I had to write off $250K worth of vehicles, Tents, parts, spares, materials...

Hey, it's been a while for me posting on S.S., and I'm essentially out of the hobby as of September this year (lost everything - not what this is about). A request was given to me by American Legion Post 837 (in Niles) for help from Military Vehicle owners in the S.F. Bay Area or "close and...

Wow, sorry for the absence! Nice to know I'm missed, but yes: new job, oldest kid starting Preschool/Kindergarten, and him also playing soccer in the evenings and weekends has tapped me out. Work is about to slow down again, so I should be able to make a return in time for the annual...

Yeah, so then add extra emphasis on my last chunk of advice, talk to him - find out how you can partner on this restoration to take the clerical work and outcome risk off him and he'll probably be more interested in how it turns out. That's how I started with my mechanic about 13 years ago, and...

Well with all due respect to your body shop's experience, they aren't trying very hard. For professional consumer body shops, two paint manufacturers are very common: Sherwin Williams, and PPG. Both companies have a division that supplied paint to DoD of the CARC variety, so for certain they...

Suprman (avatar is an M939 series truck in a FLIR scope) - send him a PM as I don't see any listed in the classifieds, but his eplace account "fastcashmoneyman" shows more than 10 available. Since I can't reference an auction, do a Google search for HDT part number 171230, I'm sure you'll find...

Don't know about the timing, have been meaning to try one - I imagine you'd figure it out in a few minutes. It's somewhere between optimal for white gas and optimal for kerosine. The spark plug is the standard spark plug, but they put a ring-thermocouple on the spark plug to read the cylinder...

Indeed, I do believe the people at INI Power are prone to hyperbole. That said, being a carburetor type engine, it doesn't have the sub 20-micron orifices that a conventional diesel has, so there is a bit of "slack" which can be cut for fuel contamination (but I totally agree with you, coffee...

Yamaha EF2000iS, while being twice the price, is the one INI Power modifies for multi-fuel. It would be interesting to see if the Champion was suitable for the same modifications. https://youtu.be/MwDweYZG7Pc Basically they use ether to start the engine running, retard the timing, and keep the...

A good free open source software replacement for WinZip I've been using for years is 7-zip. Good compatibility with WinZip, plugs into Windows to give you the right-click context options in the file browser, also works with Tarball files (*.tar). Supports not only compression, but also AES...

The bright side is: You blew your transmission within 100 miles of home. You're less likely to fall into a hot spring pool in the next few weeks. As a bit of consultation:

And again, my caution was around banking on not getting caught. I think I'm uncomfortable with the direction this thread is apparently headed so I'm bowing out. Best of luck, post pictures if you do buy it. :beer:

CVC 4000 (a)(1) Emphasis added by me. "... 4000. (a) (1) A person shall not drive, move, or leave standing upon a highway, or in an offstreet public parking facility, any motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, pole or pipe dolly, or logging dolly, unless it is registered and the appropriate...
