Fair enough, but similar enough as well for shops to shy away in my own experience. BDGR

I had my alignment done at an industrial truck shop, as they were more comfortable with large split rims. Local garages that provide to Jeepers are not as equipped for heavy-AWD stuff like ours. Maybe a few calls to tractor-trailer servicers? BDGR

Remember the TM: if you tow it by tow bar more than a few miles and intend to tow at speeds higher than 30MPH, you must disconnect the propeller shafts (drive shafts). High speed tow bar towing is NOT recommended though, even so. I was able to get mine off the DLA lot without using a tow bar...

Am interested in seeing what a pioneer set looks like too. Bulldogger

I don't recall in your other thread if you verified all connections for primary power, so perhaps check the battery wires on the underside of the body, opposite the ones you can see in the battery compartment? Agree with tracing the +24V line to the start switch and PCB, regardless. BDGR

Hasn't been installed yet. Once my powertrain swap starts I'll post a few pictures and comments. BDGR

That's a good deal. I got mine from Jegs, the Champion CCHVB, for right at $300 BDGR

Looks MUCH better than my first attempt, and I gave it a TSP scrubbing and everything. I removed and replaced that splotchy ugly cover before it's end of life just to get rid of it. RAPCO, Rustoleum, Krylon or other? BDGR

The camo job on the soft slant back looks good. What paints/process did you use Dave? Bulldogger

+1 on the regulator. Simple enough to check. Mine needed adjusting, but as NDT notes, it usually is a signal to purchase a new regulator as you're likely to need one soon. If yours is the 60A, it is an easy to get part, common to M35A2, HMMWV and more. My replacement was about $20. BDGR

I emailed about a similar concern and received a written response within a day. They're process isn't too streamlined, but it works, at least it has so far for me. BDGR

Welcome from Woodbridge. I second the advice to attend the Graves Mountain rally. Just print out your maps beforehand, as it's beyond the reach of phones and GPS (and I LIKE IT THAT WAY!). Maybe you can hitch a ride with hrbergeron, he's out your way I think. BDGR

Cabell, you ever find those replacement pumps and other innards for the Coleman stoves? Wouldn't mind a couple. BDGR

I've had similar experiences. In fact one of my shipments set straight to Tactical Truck arrived Monday, a day before I even got the automated tracking info notice, so they are early 21st century in spots of their supply chain still, but I ain't gonna complain. BDGR

She looks worlds better sitting on the trailer and cleaned up a little. Hope you are able to restore her. BDGR

I've also received most of mine. Perhaps yours they are missing something and waiting for it to be made or sourced? Bulldogger

Agreed. I'm glad they decided to be more public/practical about supplying us, and I don't mind these stickers all over my packages. As long as the packages keep coming! BDGR

Not sure I've seen that style. Looks good. BDGR

I have to admit not knowing the difference. Since my takeout 6.2 has a DB2, it sounds like we'll have to send it for rebuild, which is not a problem. The power pack was just delivered today, and it hasn't been unwrapped to see what we've got yet. We start Saturday, or more likely Monday...

I considered a dual-voltage alternator and may yet install one. The converter is a temporary fix in my eyes. The engine I'm taking delivery of Wednesday already has a 12V alt on it as well. Plenty of options. I would think a third battery for the 12V system would be needed, but I could find...
