Can't. We would have to talk over the noise and even with changing the exhaust to a rear dump, it is just too fumey for tourists in the hot summer time.

With what we plan to do with our 923 it will get started 10-20 times a day. I hate, HATE the fact that for the first 5-10 seconds or so there is no oil pressure. It makes me cringe every time I start it because you can hear the sound change when the motor starts oiling. I have been looking...

Prep for winter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Po_HK-Aijuc A little update as we get on towards winter. Looking forward to seeing how it moves in the deep snow. Plan on taking it out to the farm (where we have equipment big enough to pull it out) and play in the drifts. Any ideas on how...

They are from a company called Torklift. http://www.torklift.com/products/glowstep.php#appguide

These are the steps we are using. I like them. They say they are rated to 325lbs fully extended so fingers crossed the safety rating will be enough to handle any overloads. You also can't beat how small they fold up. One modification I made to the tail gate is to remove the latches and...

About 6 months ago I shared the info I got from a guy in the supply chain that the military was going to be dumping tons of them in the next few months. Some of the nice, kind, considerate, intelligent, Christian folks on here had some really nasty things to say about my "BS" information...

How much of a mismatch? How about a die grinder and a carbide 1/4 burr run off the truck's air system? Might take some time but I bet those rings would cut ok. No idea what this would do to the tow rating. I am sure it would get an *empty* dolly home so you could change the eye at your...

I got just over 8mpg at the same speeds spread out over a 1000 mile drive in mine on the same tread tires. I was very careful to fill the tank to exactly the same point each time and tracked the milage with a GPS. I think on these there is a big difference in fuel consumption cruising at 1800...

Been a while and the truck was parked while we made a whirl-wind Eastern tour to see the 150th Gettysburg event but now I am back on it. Business insurance came out to just under $600 a year. That covers the tour company, the youtube channels and the furniture we make. Not bad. We hope to...

I would also be very interested in a set. -Ken

Not much has been happening on the truck. I picked up some fender flare material for the bed and put on some extra mudflaps in the front to help keep things cleaner. Spoke to the site manager where we would like to locate and load from and they have agreed to rent us a spot for 5% of gross...

The parade and car show was a big hit. Our passengers were thrilled with the ride and the crowd loved the truck. I can say the truck is not a fan of slow speed maneuvering on blacktop however. Lots of tire scrub and protest noises from the rear suspension parts. No prizes in the car show but...

Top Bows and Parade Duty Got all the top bows installed though they will have to come back out for painting. Gives you about 6 foot 3 inches of head room while walking around. I know it is a compromise but I think I can live with that. None of the bows line up with the seats so even...

Yep you are right, forgot that I had already stared a special thread on this. Glad you caught it and fixed it. -Ken

I think if you were to spend anytime in traffic or the city the gesture would be appreciated. Put a chrome down-turn tip on it, that always makes the truck go faster. -Ken

5 Ton Air-Cleaner Modification This is something I have wanted to do since the moment I first saw how the cleaner box works. Everyone to their own I suppose but more air is more power. The way the housing is built effectively blocks 1/3 of the cleaner, that alone handicaps the system. The...

I have seen fouling like that on our tractors if they are running in a dusty environment and yet still sucking water like from a light summer rain. You see it on a log landing where the dust can get thick. No moisture or mud and it dosen't form conditions have to be right. Sets up like little...

I will give the header paint a shot. I just hit it with some bbq black heat paint I had on the shelf already. Thanks. -Ken

Managed to work in a lot of progress in the last few days. Finally worked out with the state of MT what my intrastate MDOT designation will be. You are now looking at a 16+ passenger limousine. Yea baby! Why not, they turn anything into a limo these days. It really simplified things and it...

I hated to lose my stack but for what I am doing with the truck it had to be done. I know there are several ways to go about it; this is just how I did it. I like the simplicity of the modification and how it can be done with a minimum of fuss or expensive parts. There are limitations to...
