Oh, c'mon. None of you ever substituted a log for a wheel?

If Jesse James could make a motorcyle using a 9 bazillion liter Mack truck engine, I'm sure somebody with enough determination could shoehorn a multifuel engine into a Land Cruiser :-) At the very least, it would be interesting to see the attempt!

Congratulations on a successful recovery! Looks like you had some fun loading the flatbed...

See if you can mount a pintle hook where the license plate is. Help it ride more level. Looks good!

Years, hunh? I thought I was being orginal :( The heater has a pressure relief. I thought to direct that into the same slop bucket the tailings from the 'fuge would drain into when the 'fuge stops. Veggy oil, french fry grease, etc - bad for this, then? I don't know yet what sort of waste I...

42?

I'm getting a little ahead of myself since I'm still Deuceless, but I have these parts kicking around and I'm starting to think how to connect them up. I have an electric water heater for a house that was replaced before I realized all it really needed was a new heating element. It's basically...

In my town most of the unauthorized scrap metal reclamation is done by illegal aliens. They seem to stay away from things painted in olive drab. They have managed to snag a Cherokee and an Olds that weren't blessed with the OD, though.

I'm still scratching my head over the "first come first served" on trailer selection.

An air leak . . . as in, a pinhole in the fuel line and air gets in? Wouldn't that be kind of bad regardless of the condition of either fuel pump? Or an air leak somplace else?

GE - I'm still a little ways from owning MY 109, but read your and the other diaries of restoration give me some great ideas. Keep it up! It's looking great! Question, when you replaced the floor in the back it looks like you used plywood. Was that thinner than the planks you removed? Did you...

Has the truck been saved? Enquiring minds want to know!

Serious question. I'm picturing a more or less automatic rig starting with a 55 gallon tank with a screened inlet. Pour in the dirty oil, activating a float switch that engages the centriguge and a very low flow valve to let gravity drip dirty oil into the filter. When the dirty oil level...

Dude, you need a DUKW, not a Deuce! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a7/DUKW.image2.army.jpg

I'm curious to know how much energy it *does* take to separate the H2 and the O. Lets say you have a 109 with some available roof space, put a solar panel on top and let it slowly crack water while parked in the sun. I would be flabbergasted if it produced anough volume to make a difference...

Well if *I* were you I would ask for my money back for your site mem...ber... sh... Uh, never mind.

The tank capacity was arbitrary. A home heating oil tank around here is ~ 250gal and fairly cheap. Power outages around here *tend* to be short but have lasted a day or so in the past. Theft is an issue here, why I'd lean to having the tank in with the genset. btw, thanks everyone for the...

If I connect to the house wiring at all it will be through a real transfer switch that properly isolates the "grid" from the house. I had the impression the 10/15 kw diesel gensets were quieter than the high revving gas gensets? If for some reason I can't or shouldn't do that I'm stuck with...

Yes, Mass has some "interesting" rules. Some make sense and some just mystify me. I have found (at least in my town) the code folks will throw up obstacles to anything outside of the norm. If I already have the answers they give less argument... And if my master plan is way off base, I...
