    Lightbulb(s) question

    [/SIZE] Duh, you're right. :doh: Don't know why I was thinking he posted the mil part number and not the civilian number. Teach me not to go back and re-read the initial posts. Thanks. Ruppster

    Lightbulb(s) question

    Boy, talk about a conundrum. If I reply to all your claims it would be a highjack of the OP's thread. But if I start a new thread to dispute all your accusations that too could be seen as being out of line. Since you are a "moderator" I will ask you how to proceed so I don't step on anyone...

    Lightbulb(s) question

    Seeing as how the guy in the thread you are so quick to quote from is talking about blackout lights and not what the OP of this thread asked about (an APC dome light) I would have to say your comment is irrelevant and nothing but harassment. One can only assume the bulbs are the same and you...

    Feedback - CUCV

    If you have the funds I would say go with the yellow tops. But if money is tight then you should be able to get by with the red tops. Ruppster

    Feedback - CUCV

    I've had both and both of them held up just as well. The yellow tops are supposed to handle being discharged further then the red tops so it will depend on how you plan on using them. Just be careful because if you discharge them really low when you start your vehicle up you could overheat the...

    Feedback - CUCV

    The sad part is some people can do nothing but say "do a search". That's fine but how about adding a hint like "try searching for 'this phrase' or 'that phrase'" to help that person narrow down the search? To add insult to injury there's one mod in perticular that's real quick to respond with...

    Questions about register M35 in VA

    I love the scales here in Florida. They use a weigh in motion set-up at a lot of the scales on the interstate around here and after you cross the scale at 45 mph you come to a split in the road. The split to the left takes you back to the highway but the split to the right leads you to the scale...

    CUCV Model

    Yeah, that have some cool stuff over there. I think there's another company that makes CUCV models also. There is a forum for models and replicas at: Models & Scale Replica's - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite Ruppster

    Questions about register M35 in VA

    And you sounded so sure of what your friend said when you came out with the claim that ODI and I were wrong. :) Guess I'm the only one around here willing to put their money where their mouth is. :D Well, I tried to raise some money for the web site. At least it would have gone to a good cause...

    Gichner Shelter Systems Nonexpandable Shelter

    If you have a question about an item (especially if it's one that is up for auction) the best way to go about it is to save the pictures to your computer first. Then when you ask your question you can upload the pics to the thread and not have to make any mention of GL what-so-ever. Keeps the...

    Caterpillar 3116 engine

    Don't know if I would go as far as to say "no one cares about the A3" around here. I remember a thread a week or two ago where an SS member with an A3 said he was going to bob it and several other SS members tried to talk the guy in to doing it to a more common A2 and not the not as common A3...

    Caterpillar 3116 engine

    Yet this thread still exists while a couple of other threads that were not auction related were deleted. Guess the mods are too busy trying to keep up with rule violations by noob's.

    And we all know how much "more modern" the DD 6-71 is in comparison to the Mack engine (says the man with a DD 8V71 in a Dodge truck). :D Ruppster

    Questions about register M35 in VA

    So when they say we have 50 states they are wrong because VA wants to be called a Commonwealth? :) And yes, I know VA is not the only Commonwealth state. Ruppster

    Questions about register M35 in VA

    I've done a couple of cross country trips in tandem axle antique trucks and stopped at many weigh scales all across the U.S. I can say the same thing about DOT and Commercial LEO's. I've always carried copies of regulations with me due to this. Saved my butt from tickets many times due to...

    Questions about register M35 in VA

    Nothing against your friend that's a State Trooper but your normal State Trooper does not know the laws pertaining to heavy vehicles. When I got in to semi trucks I made the mistake of asking State Troopers if a CDL was needed for driving a person use semi truck. All of the ones I talked to gave...

    Tubeless on steroids tire.

    The question is does that show the finished product or is that a picture of a prototype tire that allows you to see how the inside is designed? Could the final product include a proper sidewall made of rubber that would cover up the honeycomb structure and prevent mud from creating an imbalance...

    Questions about register M35 in VA

    Granted it's been a few years and the rules may have changed but when I lived in Virginia with my semi truck there was no exemption for trucks with antique plates that allowed them to pass the scales. The rules stated all trucks 10,000 pounds or higher had to stop at the scales, personal or...
