It was horrifying! It was terrifying! It was... The Invasion of the-- Road Graders? Somehow, I don't see anyone making that movie above the level of Syfy.

I can has 110 MPG surplus M1030M1?

Dontcha just hate it when you have to "dance" with someone taller than you?;-)

As long as there was a robust analogue backup that can still get appreciable optimization out of the engine's operation if the digital computer gets EMPed. m16ty brings up an interesting point. I've wondered why more of these trucks don't run intercoolers.

I drive my Crown Vic PI like I was a chauffeur. My previous Crown Vic was totalled while sitting in front of my house by an underwear skidmark in a stolen Chevy Astro drag racing it down a residential street at 2:AM. Neighbor's brick porch is still screwed up.

How is the steering managed in an 8x8x4 like the HEMMT? Surely you're not going to tell me it's a mechanical linkage to both steer axles. I'd imagine it's a full hydraulic steer with a speed-sensing proportioning valve to cut down the amount of steer to the number two axle. Thing I've never...

10 month necropost, but who cares. That was just a fun day out playing with the toys. Any follow up? What was done about the well?

Even though it'd mean fabbing a new driveshaft, I'd move that rear axle back a bit to about the middle between where the rear axles were.

Nice.

Car wash, fail. Good time, win.

I've been cogitating on the idea of using a flat tread used tire to try my hand at a little cobbling by cutting out foot-shaped soles for a pair of home-made boots. What do you all think of that kind of endeavour?

Maybe that's what someone could repurpose the turbine in a MEP-362A for. Is it big enough to generate enough torque to generate enough lift for a human and craft? ABN: If training for UAV duty, could you get credit for building and learning to fly a large RC model? I understand there was some...

Even if we civvies can't generally get our hands on the newer armour, there's one of our members turning a Deuce into a Baby HEMTT. If someone else doesn't have a welder and a loooooooot of sheet metal to create an unarmoured Caiman out of a Deuce, then I miss my guess.

All of this season's Xtreme 4x4s can be found here: http://www.spike.com/show/30058 Bobbed Deuce, Part Deux: Powerblock TV: Xtreme 4x4 When's Part Trés gonna air?

And even the F-22 has been found to glow like a lightbulb in a cave in certain frequency bands. That thing must glow like a bonfire.

You can't sell on fleaBay without being able to accept PayPal. Love that vertical integration. I have a $1500 line of PayPal credit that I used to pay for my classic motorcycle. Paid it off and won't invade it ever again, but it's still hanging out there that I have $1500 of credit from PayPal...

I've love to see what a "combat ready" 1009 would look like. I've never seen one with a full complement of supplies looked like. By the time I see them on GL, they're pretty well gutted. Those seats are definitely the snazziest I've ever seen. What did you use on them? (She asks, expecting the...

Anyone done it with a genset and battery banks and water tanks and fuel tanks down around the frame rails? What if the solar panels and tower come off the roof and are strapped to the floor for travelling?

I'd love a Yaesu FT-8900R in an armature with a handle with a 12 VDC gel cell and a Diamond CR-8900 for mobile hamming, but I can dream. I've got three ideas for a mobile ham shack. SMALL) S250 on a M200 trailer; welded and bolted; with undermounted water tanks and batteries for long duration...

I've got one of your ex-police cruisers. She's my daily driver these past three years. I'm here in Terrible Haute, stalking Billy Bobbed's truck. Shhh. Don't tell him.
