I was already watching the auction before I read the thread. I will watch it closely as I and not yet ready to bring one home.

But it has a custom fully boxed frame. I would be more afraid of someone's project that has had a bunch of frame welding done and a bunch of different colors of paint on the cab, frame, motor, etc. I like how it has power steering. The extra cooling fan worries me, maybe a band-aid for a...

Yep, I read a grade 8 bolt that is 3/8"-16 x 7/8" long. Pretty simple and no need for the McMacter-Carr description. But at least you have all of the info needed and then some, way then some.

Here, I thought I was the only person who saw that crazy film. Glad to know I am not alone on my island of craziness.

Wow, truly an amazing story and Man. I have no words to describe how grateful I am to live in a country with Sarge and men and women like him. The best story I have ever read.

That was the first thing I noticed, the multitude of different type, conditions, and seems like size of the tires.

I too showed it to my wife ans said we should get one. Surprisingly she responded not with a why or are you crazy, but WTH do you carry on it :) Sure looks like a really cool piece of history and equipment.

The battery, via the photovoltaic cell as the picture shows.

Do you mean a pop up for more height inside, or a slide out?

Functioning CTIS? Hmm, for how long?

So why no AV gas? Is it the low lead, or the 100 octane? I know it isn't cheap so there is no "need" to run it, but just curious...

I know Viair makes 24v compressors, I just don't remember what he said...Ian talks a lot (I know it's his job). The compressors look like a 480 but I am not sure if those come 24v. I am sure if they are not listen on the website, they would still make them for the show.

I wonder if they are going to wire the 12v compressors in series to not mess with a separate 12v system. I don't really see why 2 were necessary becasue I use 1 Viair 380 in my truck for a small 3 gal tank for my roadside emergencies and of course horns. On the note of the bags, I feel like...

Looks like both of my HF torque wrenches, lol. I thought the same thing, even the paperwork for the "lifetime" warranty.

During the construction of improvements, easy...keep a sheet of plywood and some 2by4s in the bed. Done.

I am still leery of the "display" authenticity of driving it to and from work and for fun weekend drives. I guess before I help this thread get cluttered, see what others have done. From my reading of the FL states and not assuming that driving in traffic is a public display I would say the...

I like that setup. It is just a huge stretcher that goes in the back of an ambulance. The legs can be made stout easily and a few heavy duty caster for half of the load and no need to get electric or hydraulic jacks and worry about all of that weight on 4 posts that will try to travel up and...

Sounds like fun. I will talk it over with the wife and see if she doesn't roll her eyes :)

24 Since January...I was born the morning that the Challenger blew up. It seems as if that day helps people realize how old they are when they remember where they were and what they were doing. No MV YET though.

Just curious, how about those who are new to the MV world and are yet to own something big and green? We don't have a camper yet and June is way to hot to tent camp, so we might make a day visit if that would be ok. Any ideas for a SS FL new guy?
