    Roof mounted A/c on a hard top?

    I've been looking at this for 4-5 years now.. ever since the first time I drove the deuce from Dallas to Austin in July. These are my opinions on ths 'problem'. First, I'd like to comment about the ice chest and fan combo. The amount of cooling needed for a space is expressed in BTU per hour...

    m105 command post trailer value

    yeah i'd say 450-550 if the running gear and wiring is also OK. The radio mount and other tidbits are worth a few extra bucks. Note I will never again complain that my comand post is cramped.

    RADAR set - where to mount on Deuce?

    The gun ring idea is great. I might be able to cut down a telescoping mast and fit the last coiple sections in there. The dome might be able to mount on a plate off center at the top of the mast so it rests on the hardtop when stowed. The 9 meter mast - - I wonder how it would fit to an S-280...

    Nervous

    naw.. close is 3" and beside the limo. Then you can step out onto the hood. :twisted: spkn if which, I had to enter a parking lot to get diesel te other day, and the whole thing was jammed up with a bunch of idiots waxing their cars cleaning their wheels and and drinking and listening to rap...

    PRC25 radio sets

    Watch the date codes of those magnesium batteries. They can go bad and sometimes split open and /or rot. i'd check the ones in the radios and remove them for any storage so to be on the safe side. I notice the books are for PRC-77's. Is that what is there, or, PRC-25's? Fortunately there are...

    25k rounds of .30-06 in a M109A3

    And I will find a way to get it recorded in hi def 3D with 5.1 surround if I can watch. And open the door of the truck after.. It would be like Captain Kirk getting buried in dead tribbles.

    RADAR set - where to mount on Deuce?

    Lot of fun this is. I did not expect so much interest and good suggestions, and also fellow RADAR operators. I like the door openers. They are fun and will also set off people's radar detectors, making it even funner. In days past I sent video across the shop with one and used a hacked (disable...

    RADAR set - where to mount on Deuce?

    I picked up a Raytheon radar unit with an 18.5" radome. I would ike to mount this on the truck pictured below, but not on top of the box due to clearance issues, the truck is almost 13FT tall with the shelter.. I was thinking about a telescoping mast mounted behind the cab, but as far as I...

    395s WILL fit on a stock Deuce!!!

    OD Iron has 1-piece tubeless rims for those tires. There is also another vendor, forget whom. There was discussion about the ballooning of the tires on the stock rims, one guy said he ran them offroad for mudding but didn't think much of trying this onthe highway.

    Runaway Multifuel cutoff?

    On mine the mushroom is held on by a hose clamp. Pulling it off would not be so easy since the clamp cannot pass through the side cover. I like the throttle body idea, if one has to have a choke method. Need a big TG for that. Plus, with 14PSI on it, would take some doing to shut it. Would a...

    Where the H#@ is this oil coming from

    Mihe puffs a little oil vapor there when hot and idling.. will make a mess on the highway. it's not anything unusual on these. I consume about 1 quart per 1000 miles, most of that is from a small leak at the ront of the engine.

    Movie Shoot- McKinney Texas

    haha too bad my M35 has an S-280 on it.. no way to pile out of that in a hurry except 5 FT to the deck.. BTW who drives? I might be out of town on a prior commitment (some biz in los alamos), not sure yet. Why do cool things happen all at the same time?

    New horn LOUD

    I have the same kind, maybe a little longer. I removed the original air horn set and plumbed the used one right in, mounted it with angle irons and screws. It works well to inform others of the errors of their ways. much manlier than the beeping horn the vehicle came with. The only problem is it...

    Help us get him in the truck!!!

    I'm for the more independent ways. A guy's gotta be able to do stuff his self. A hoist with a swing set type seat to sit on, then send the hook back down for the chair.. than might work. Oversize it like 2500# so it is safe, and use non metallic synthetic rope. Should be some riggers or wrights...

    Anyone have the TM for M105 trailer?

    There is also the M103 manual, which covers the frame itself an several variants.

    Tranny Failure, atleast it happened close to home.

    Now I see what the little plate/hatch under the bellhousing is for. It's to remove the pieces from the transmission that are no longer needed.
