As a LEO, former Private Investigator, and former employee of a Personal Injury Law Firm, I can tell you that you are crazy to allow ANYONE to ride in the back of the truck.
Your friends all say they wont sue until they get the medical bills or a lawyer talks to them.
If you are allowing...
I found a 24v military intercom kit at:
Army Radio Sales Co.
I was wondering if anyone has one installed. I would like to adapt the radio inputs to accept a HAM radio and a CB radio. To do this I will need the breakdown of the inputs and their uses/voltages. I would like to use the PTT on...
ida34 agreed on all counts.... Thats why I dont live in one... But whom exactly has the right to seize property and fine.... Govt... thats it, no one else should have that right.
Carmel ME.... Been there.... I used to go hunting in Bangor and Houlton...
This is the PRIME reason why I chose to live in the sticks....
Florida has LOTS of HOA's and all the "Condo/HOA Commandos" do is complain.
They complain that there are people in the pool after hours, they complain...
Glad to see HAM radio isnt dead... I have had my License for about 5 years..... What are you guys using to put a mobile in a 24v system? The converters I have found are all a little too expensive for me right now as my first Deuce will be picked up shortly (nodd to lavarok for his excellent...
Ditto for the steps. About 15 years ago I was helping my High School with an antique show in the gym. Parking was a problem so we used the school's vans to bring passengers to and from the parking lots. A step was the best way we could find to get mobility challenged persns into the vans...
I was with Pahokee PD at the time and we came out for about a week. You guys got hit HARD by those storms. The PGPD guys were all great to us, Put us up in their houses and the PD even fed us. GREAT bunch of guys.
I went to Dosoto County next and those guys were great too.
Hearing protection
EXACTLY what my suggestion would be, on for long trips, off for town. Tapping the battery seems the best option. I was going to put my HAM radio in it and pull juice that way. This is how my department runs the 12 vdc lights for the trucks we have. They did a seperate 12 vdc...
Hearing Protection / Intercoms
I checked with a trooper buddy of mine as well as Florida motor vehicle regs and found that it is Illegal in florida to use an intercom or technically even hearing protection (earplugs) while driving. I asked if there was a provision for "large" trucks with the...
Mil Spec 24vdc to 12vdc
I did a quick check for for 24/12 vdc mil spec converter... I've been looking for one myself. I found 24 volt to 12 volt DC/DC converters (fully regulated) from 100 to 700 Watts non-isolated and isolated. . Has anyone delt with them?
I transferred to the north end a few months ago.
Every time I go over to motorpool (because I'm on mids) I miss the guy who signs them out. I've been in 3x same deal. We have a 5 ton for Field Force that gets a little more use.
I REALLY hate the white color on the truck, white is NOT her...
First post........ I have been a long time reader. I first became "fast friends" with the duce as a law enforcement officer as my department has several for flooding/hurricane duty. I am a certified driver (big whoop).
I had A LOT of fun driving that big beast through the sand pits and through...
