Here is an update: I got the manager on the phone after a few tries this morning. It turns out that he was the guy I originally talked to when I set up the tow, and he was out on vacation when his employee lost my paperwork. He's agreed to do the pickup himself on Wednesday morning, at a...

Thank you for quickly restoring the site, and I wish you luck at keeping the cockroaches out in the future. After a brief instant of "WTF" passed when I got the first email, it was obvious to me that the email was not legitimately sent by SS folks. I hope that anybody who gave you grief will...

I got it, too. I assume that it's either a forgery or a result of a site hack; I don't believe for a moment that it legitimately originated from SS owners/operators. I predict a busy day for the site admin(s)... :(

That is exactly how the original military adapters for installing the AB-15 in the MX-6707 bolt pattern work. Just a round plate with a hole for the AB-15 in the center, and four bolt holes matching the MX-6707 bolt pattern.

I think that he was referring to the low-air alarm where he wrote "horn". It's true that checking for exhaust leaks is part of the pre-trip inspection, but after reading this I think I'll go over my M923 when I get it (this week, I hope!) to find any places where plastic lines are routed near...

Looks great! It's simple and elegant.

BTW, I kinda blindly assumed that you can solder there. If not, then it's time to learn, or find a nearby electronics geek friend to help! :)

If I remember right, the LS-454 is a 600 ohm speaker. Actually, an 8 ohm speaker with an impedance matching transformer inside. I would guess that the CB radio is designed to work with 4-8 ohm speakers, so I think you'll need to bypass the transformer inside the LS-454 as well as changing out...

Ok, so you roll over the border in 20,000 pounds of steel that you didn't leave with, and they gave you grief over one of the engine components being newer than the others?! I haven't crossed any international borders yet, but it sure sounds to me like they were looking for any excuse to delay you.

If overcoming adversity builds character, then y'all are going to be pretty awesome by the time you get home.

Interesting! Yeah, I can see how a Gama Goat brake drum would look more like a mine than a brake drum to somebody who hadn't seen one before. Since they go on the outside of the wheel, they don't have the usual big hub opening in the center.

Thanks for the referrals, quickfarms, and thanks for the insight, papabear! Yes, you're right that that owner may not know what happened. I talked to one guy on Tuesday to make the towing arrangements, and a lady today when I called for an ETA. The lady said that the boss dropped the papers on...

Thanks, papabear! Yeah, if it was my company, I'd do the recovery at-cost, too. I wouldn't necessarily dock the dispatcher, depending on the circumstances. In my industry (semiconductors; I'm an electrical engineer), we say that if you haven't made a million dollar mistake, then you're still...

Sending pm...

I won a nice-looking M923 out of GL in Barstow recently, and got my EUC approval on Tuesday morning. I made arrangements with a local towing company to pick up the truck this morning, but they dropped the ball and never dispatched their driver. I didn't find out until I called the office at...

I think there are too few of us for bot writers to bother scraping specifically for callsigns. We broadcast our callsigns whenever we key down; they're essentially just part of our names.

My callsign is in my username!

Are you sure about that part number? It didn't turn up anything on the LEDtronics site.

I think it would be really neat to have digital camo on my M1009 and/or my Toyota Tundra. I think that the color pattern used on the ACU fabric would look great, with a pixel size of about 1/2" to 1" square.

That's a good name. I hope that the rest of the trip is smooth!
