I feel sick. I hate being...
Security is not an all or nothing, absolutist concept. The idea of secure being the 1 to the insecure's 0 doesn't work. Security is a spectrum of options. A level of security that would easily deter a casual car (Deuce) thief would barely slow down a skilled thief. A higher level of security...
Showing my ignorance, would it be possible to bolt one transfer case to a second transfer case to get more gears and higher top speed without overtaxing the motor/tranny?
A lot of people like converting the oddball filters to something easier to get replacement filters for, like automotive parts. Sounds like you could be served well by pursuing that route.
Are the auctionIDs (in the individual item URLs) changing and they're just being moved around between lot No.s and Event IDs or it everything changing but the pics and description?
Naw. that's the Zombie Apocalypse thread. ;-)
Curious, why did you insist on getting a 30 kW gasser? the MEP-005 Diesels are going for literally pennies on the original government cost dollar.
YEAARRRGGGHHHHH! <-- Sound of poverty stricken nerd in pain.
There were dozens of MEP004s mounted on M200 trailers, some with ASKs from Ft. Meade, and they all went for under $400, some under $300, and a couple even under $200!
Why, oh why am I so poor?

You have my attention, sir. Please, do tell me more about this diesel genset cooling loop to hydronic radiant floor heating connection. What do you do in the summer?

God I hate being OCD. I just spent about 6 hours agonizing over this graphic. This is how I would like to wire up my nearly off-grid back woods dream home for 3-phase power with as large a generator as possible, figuring on getting multiple gennies for parts purposes and storing them all, spare...
Are there any threads on how to perform chassis extensions, either off the end or splicing into the middle? What kind of channel stock should be used if not material from a donor chassis? What about box stock that can be blocked off to form internal storage tanks for spare fuel, oil, coolant, etc.?
Right now, there's just one 60 kW monster up for bid. Pretty sure your 10 kW portables would choke, gag, and die on that gen-head.
Although, there are three disembodied rotors of unknown spec. coming due in two weeks. Assuming someone could find the specs, would a rotor swap be sufficient to...
