Once the rally became a "thing" (2009 ish), our overriding thought was always to make it something that everyone could enjoy.
If all you want to do is sell stuff, we've tried to encourage that by intentionally never charging for vendor spaces. Wanna' bring a 53' tractor trailer? You'll have...
I believe they are 2/0 from the factory. They are thicker than traditional civilian 2/0 because the sheath is really, really thick. When I re-batteried mine with civvy batteries, I feel pretty confident the factory cables said 2/0. I replaced them with civvy 2/0 welding cable without issue...
To be honest, I have not considered this avenue. AM General is extremely cold to collectors-they don't even want the govt. to surplus the vehicles they make. The govt. surplusses AMG vehicles over their objections. So I'd be willing to call them, but I can nearly guarantee they'll tell me to...
You know, I've never really considered this aspect of the rally. Because I'm so close to it, I think maybe sometimes I see it in a different way than participants.
So, when we started, it was a cookout in my backyard. No swap meet, just come hang out, talk army trucks. Second year, or the...
He had PM'd me and we spoke offline.
He told what the conclusion was but I can't remember now. I think he ended up using a stock flasher relay.
EDIT: went back and looked at my PM's. He said he couldn't get it to work and ended up buying a current replacement m-series relay.
Not sure what...
I forgot to say this:
Much, much thanks to our friend Hill (HROT here on SS). As soon as we met Hill, we tricke......... he volunteered to help us with the rally. He helped shoot the convoy before we had a professional and this year, he met us at D-town at almost 8 o'clock at night and he...
Also, since I had no time, I never got a chance to go back but who had those black 40A 24-12 converters? There were two on the table. I wanted to know what they wanted for them and if they sold.
I'll be honest, I've worked 7 days a week for the last 6 months and I was still a day late to my own rally. If I wasn't obligated to be there, I wouldn't have made it this year.
We talked about this some at the tent and we think it's just that the economy is humming along and people have a lot...
I'll leave this thread up for a week or so so that people can clean up any "missed connections" and then I'll close it and we'll just have to wait for the next one.
Much thanks to all the people who came as vendors and all the people who bought stuff. I hope the vendors had good sales.
Thank...

Guys, I need to add a couple things to my wanted list:
1.
I'm working on a friend's bobber and someone has removed the mounting bracket from the back of the transfer case for the parking brake cable. I've stolen a bracket off one of my trucks so he can make the rally but I need to replace...
Some of this discussion is probably moving outside the realm of this thread. Fuzzytoaster had started a "dual circuit engineering" thread that would cover a lot of this.
That being said:
So you guys are proposing doing away with the air boost (airpack{s}) and finding a dual circuit master...
Lance,
Thank you for offering to help. It's awesome to get to see an SS member whose been a member for so long get to make our little cookout.
We always need help at the MKT. Cooking, cleaning, taking people's money for a ticket and definitely taking the MKT down after breakfast-it's huge...
