Wish they had a location down South. It is good to hear stories like this. They help restore my faith in humanity.

I'm sure the truck will pull it. I was just a little concerned about the load rating of the trailer axles and tires. Good luck with the build. Keep us posted with updates and pics.

Yeah, I'm curious as to what the load rating is on the trailer axles and tires are. That is one heavy load.

That is exactly what I did for my 8 off road Harbor Freight lights but I picked the lights up on sale for only $8 each. The bulbs I found were made by Hella and they were about the same price. The bulb and light combination works great for me. Just be sure to: Fuse Relay Size wire correctly

Hopefully it stays that way. Once the machines outnumber the people there could be a machine uprising (the terminator movies aren't that far fetched).rofl

The whip hose is from harbor freight. Luckily it has held up well. I bought one hose from there and noticed a bubble in it when I hooked it up for the first time so I returned it. I had another harbor freight hose develop a bubble. I have pretty much quit shopping there. The snatch block is...

Cool vid. What kind of camera did you use? Very little vibration and a real nice picture.:beer:

Well, Yes and No. The 4 channel, 2,000 watt, amplifier has one of its two inputs on a switch that can toggle between stereo and the CB's PA. The four PA's are powered on that side of the amp. The two channels on the other side of the amp are for the sub woofers and the signal for those is...

Yeah, When I looked at EQ's they were more than I wanted to pay, although they would have done a better job perhaps. I found the converters on sale on ebay for only $26 each I think.

I installed two 24 to 12 volt 720 watt converters. That is why I went 24volt on the off road lights, didn't want to overload the converters. I would like to eventually install a 12 alternator and do away with the converters but they will do for now. I look forward to the lockable handle...

You didn't give me enough time to finish. Look now, the PA information has been added in.

CTIS Removed I didn't mention this earlier but it was probably evident anyway; I removed all of the CTIS equipment from the wheels. I still have the controller and other components installed and hopefully one day I will get it all working again but that is probably the last thing on my list...

Cosmetics and Asthetics Here are just some cosmetic things that I did.

Cab Fan, Seat Recline, & Tailgate Lock Here is some more miscellaneous stuff I did. I struggled with the fan install for awhile. The fans I bought were too big to really mount without obstructing my view. Luckily I found this fan at a Pilot station. It puts out more air than you can imagine...

Ladder, Wipers, Cup Holders, & Jerry Can Here are just some miscellaneous things I did. I added a jerry can. I also added cup holders and and replaced the dust hose on the muffler (the old one was rotted through). I modified the brackets on the boarding ladder I just received so that it...

New Paint These are some pictures showing the new paint job and contrasting it with the old paint. Basically I used a pressurized tank sand blaster to work on any rusty areas (very little on this truck). You can see where I brought the hood hinge back to life (this is a common rust area on...

Train Horn This is the aforementioned train horn. It is a Wolo Siberian Express and is 152db. I had to remove the windshield washer tank in order to mount the horns but when I go to install my electric windshield washer I can re-mount the tank on the other side of the steering column. I also...

Off Road Lights, Dash Switches, & Relays After the Stereo stuff, the next big project I took on where the off road lights. I got them for very cheap at HF and converted them to 24volt. Then I painted them so they weren't chrome. Shinny chrome doesn't look very good on a MV. The lights are...

PA Speaker Install Here are some pictures of my PA's. They weren't necessarily cheap but they sure get the job done without taking up much space. I had originally looked at a pair of PA's from some Denver outdoor sports arena but even I realized that they wouldn't be practical as they were 5'...
