Or replacing busted wheels studs and the hub along the desolate highway in January in 0 degree Illimois weather. Church seems to have helped the House of Opcom. Too ugly here for a rich girl and too cheap to play the lottery.

Visited the Black Hole yesterday, Great surplus place, Ed the owner is a veteran of 25 years and a great guy. 108 pictures here: The Black Hole and the pictures of that capacitor for Armada attached The cap there, it has an energy storage of 3096 Joules. In English, that means it can hold...

The return route is still open, but I remember passing more than one interesting place on the way to Roswell including on I-20. Today I checked out a few places in Albuquerque. Jones Surplus Barn Inc 10921 Central Avenue Northeast Albuquerque, NM 87123-2729 (505) 298-9295 This is an Army...

Not having the benefits of a wife, I am surely not entitled to the benefits of an in-law. The knife switch, I suppose I can give it away, is in the 9th picture of the topic. I suppose one is to straddle the rocket like Slim Pickens, close the switch thereto attached, and see what comes next.:o...

That sounds pretty good. I am driving the pickup truck this time though because time is too short. -looking at military surplus, and electronic surplus on the way. Made it to the VLA today. nice setup. The "tour" is self guided and the facility has a video that describes how the array works...

no, that's the "other" knife switch in that picture. The one I'm asking for is easier to see. But as a consolation prize you get to look at these armor pics. -a surplus place in Roswell, with an MV. I don't know what kind, looks modded.

In Roswell is the Roswell Museum and ART Center in Roswell,NM. (This is the official museum, not the UFO museum.) Goddard is the father of rocketry, and many military rockets come from his research. There is his entire workshop preserved there and you can see the innards of the earliest of...

Remember Memorial Day! On the way from Dallas, we passed some wind farms belonging to innovenergy. there are several open non-signed, unfenced entrances along the highwas and we went in and took some picutres, but stayed on the dirt road and well away from the machines proper as I doubt they...

Any last minute suggestions of MV/surplus related places to see or rummage in New Mexico? Come on, it is going to take me exactly 15 minutes to find the aliens in Roswell, haha..

It's tricky with even that much difference. For sure you can end up with the drivetrain bound up even going down the road. You might not notice it, and it's not like it will leave any rubber marks, but the wear on the drivetrain will take its toll eventually. Someone here sells a kit to put the...

Please be sure to show some pictures of this project. It's very interesting!

I am leaving Sunday to pass thru Roswell, Albuquerque, and to Los Alamos. Pickup truck trip this time, as the M8109 is not road ready yet. The goal is to retrieve a 42uF 12,000 volt oil capacitor. It's free. It can't be shipped because of PCB, but it is no leaking. I am not yet sure exactly...

There is nothing like a purpose-made DC-type magnetic circuit breaker for protecting your wiring and in some cases acting as a power switch. This is not an ad, but an explanation why they are so useful and only incidentally where they can be had for $2 each. All circuits on the previous radio...

just reading.. It's been a matter of resources. Hope it works out.

They have always gone the extra mile for me. I pulled in at 0700 with a blown exhaust gasket while on one of my infamous road trips, having driven all night to get there. They fixed it that day, very kind of them. Yes they are expensive, but have always helped me. I have nothing negative to say...

The 109 body I got on my M818 has quite a bit of rust issues, but it is sound. I would like to find someone local who could tackle the whole thing. Would be a good idea to use rhino liner on the top.

Is there any data on trans swaps? for the 800 series, it is the Spicer 6453. I have seen Spicer 6453A's listed from time to time on the internet. I wonder what the difference is. The 800 could really use a boost of more overdrive.. being rather a slow pig. 16.00x20's seem to solve the 60MPH...

yeah - -that is "pre-turbo" EGT, right? let's be clear on that in case something is wrong.

If you are building up, consider where you might want to put the cab air conditioner compressor.. maybe right where the 12V alternator is being shown. I always used a 50A equalizer, sometimes drew very large loads such as cranking an auxiliary generator, and never had a problem, however an...

I'm thinking for the 800 series the compressor ought to go near the alternator because there isn't much room near the steering pump, but what we need is pictures showing an installation..
