    They tried to kick my truck out of the neighborhood!

    The town I lived in that had a 20' height restriction had it because the fire department didn't have a ladder long enough to reach a roof taller than that. The fact an antenna was considered a structure is a bit odd.

    Distracted Driving

    Might be easier to look for something USB powered and find a 24V to USB unit. Wider selection. I'm currently battling the 2nd round of a Pyle system that's not working right, so I can't recommend even though the first round was likely my fault.

    3 color NATO woodland question

    What he said. I don't think there are any HVLP guns that attach directly to a bulk container. It's amazing how little paint gets used though.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    EGT installed, last RCL's mounted. Total count is 14. Daylight on demand. Painted a few things, like the bed crane and chocks. Got a car show at work this week. Should be interesting, assuming security and facilities can agree where I can park.

    DUKW Crash Fatalities

    180 In/Out a day for a single launch isn't a lot. Especially when there's no trailer monkeying needed. It's the trailer craziness that raises tensions. The launches for the combat fisheries can handle 3X that through each lane, and those are effectively a shotgun start. (Sunnyside isn't one of...

    ARB 5 ton locker

    ARB and / or the vendor likely can extrapolate sales from interest. It's something a company needs to be able to do. Cause sure, I'm interested. Then I find out they're 4K per axle. And then less interested. See: Locking Hubs. With the right marketing data they can figure out income level and...

    DUKW Crash Fatalities

    Well, the Seattle media has been pretty level headed. And if any is going to flip out, it'd be them. In the end the ducks are one of the local tourist attractions the city is proud of, the whole military nature of them is far more accepted in the style of swords -> plows kinda thing.

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    Searching by the number as a number has their computer try to match it to the number on one of their paint chips. Luckily it doesn't match Hello Kitty Pink or some such. I've had luck telling them the name of the color is 34094 or the other 383 camo colors. Then they search and the full name is...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    Did you make sure they used 34079 as the name to search on? And look at the screen. I've had them tell me "no hits" which when I looked at the screen meant "No hits, but some FSC thing I don't understand"

    Isn't that the easiest place to put the air in through? Rubber tipped blow gun to the vent?

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Put a couple hundred pounds in the seat and it sinks a lot. But yeah, getting in when it's air'd up is a exercise in shuffle.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Installed a commercial air ride seat, International from 2013 that I picked up at an auction a couple weeks ago. Still need to plumb it into the airline. Still need to plumb the airline. Found this when swapping seats. So the work took a bit longer and grew in scope.

    wiring batteries in series and parallel at the same time

    No, not possible. The series requires one batteries negative (0V reference) to be connected to the other batteries 12V output. Parallel requires both negatives and both positives to be connected. So mutually exclusive. Cause actually doing both would result in connecting the positive and...
