Well, yesterday I used it to transport all sorts of neat remote hole punchers, but that's all I can say about that.
Today I just ordered a 4 man top setup for it. Have a line on some seats too. I plan on stripping it down and painting it soon. Then converting it to a 4 man setup.
Splintering up things would only make more of a mess. And leave lots of good info "in the pile people don't search in" so to speak. It's certainly overwhelming, but I broke down the hard numbers to show the amount of work involved. I personally have to keep the lights on here, have a full...
Does that suggestion include your offer to go through 11,300+ threads one by one to sort them out? There is no automated process to achieve this, nor could there be. Also, one would have to be able to judge what would be "factory" and what would need to be in "hot-rodding". Spending around 2...

Next step is the hvac system.
Something is amiss with the front susp. Those aren't the right wheels/tires either. And if it was a HMMWV on load from DOD to the forestry service, then FD, it should be returned back to DOD for disposition. Does it have a title?

I recently added a 50a civilian outlet to a distribution box I have. I tied it into the breakers of the output lead. I'll try to take some pics of it tomorrow.
And to add to that, gjones, take a look at the TM section. They're very helpful when working on vehicles.

Actually a tech license will also let you into a lot of the other bands. But when it comes to voice, you can only get into 10m. Everything below that is CW only.
