A lot of this depends on how you use the truck. If all you're doing is trips to Home Depot and parades, then you can radically decrease the frequency of things like hub service. But if you're in the mud and water, or crawling rocks, that changes things. Any time you're in mud or water that's hub...
I have never seen clear lenses for these. I've seen amber, red and blackout lenses but never clear.
I can say that these would not make good back-up lights. Take a lens out of one and turn it on at night. You'll be surprised.
We left Topeka yesterday at about 8:30 am and got home this morning at 3am. Loooong trip to do in all one shot.
You're welcome. The MVPA National conventions are great events and if I can show people some good pictures and this convinces someone to go to a convention and maybe join the...
I try to take pictures of every vehicle when I go to a convention, but I missed a few this time. Regardless, I have 200+ pics of the event all posted here:

Enjoy!
We had a really good time. The National MVPA and the associate chapters always put on good events and this was no exception.
We had a nice table next to GovPlanet. The Kansas members helped us unload and load and let us borrow some carts.
We saw all of our friends, many of whom we only get...
Clintogf received your PM but she hasn't had a chance to respond. We're in Topeka, Kansas at the MVPA national convention as vendors and have been slammed busy every day from about 0500 until midnight and she hasn't had a chance to respond. She just sent you a pm. Sorry for the delay.
You'd have to assume it's just something that was used for recruiting or some other kind of PR purposes (going to middle schools and talking to kids, etc.).
The 4 cylinder engines are a lot less common. The 2 cylinder engines are also used with one of the small generators, so they're a lot easier to come by.
I suspect SS classifieds, G503 mule forum, eBay, etc are going to end up being your best bet.
I would talk to Emery as well. SS user...
We got our tables set up and left for a few hours to ship a cargo cover kit that sold on eBay. We left early and are hanging out in the room a mile from the convention center. We'll be back first thing tomorrow.
The display area for vehicles is small but the vendor area is large. We have...
We are section 18, tables 1,2 and 3. We're right next to the GovPlanet HMMWV. Everybody come and visit with us - we brought 4 chairs so friends can sit down for a bit with us.
We'll be setting up our vendor space tomorrow morning. At some point tomorrow we have to take one of the cargo...
We're going to be leaving within the hour. Have to drop the dog and cat off at my parent's house, then we're off. I think we're going to split the drive into 2 days, we we'll get a room somewhere tonight. It's 950+ miles one way for us. Not sure we want to do all that in one shot.
When you clicked on it and the line "playback on other websites has been disabled by the video owner" showed up, the sentence "watch this video on youtube" is above it. That's a link to the youtube page with the video.
Some video owners do not want their videos to be viewable when they're...
eBay and military vehicle swap meets. We bought a bunch of brand new in the box GI surplus headlights at the 2012 MVPA National Convention super cheap.
I think people should thank the poster for putting this out there. I think things like this are a very effective reminder that all vehicles, but especially 20-50 year medium duty three axle trucks require a real and effective maintenance program.
I think sometimes we are quick to castigate...
No. The deer hunting opening season is the third weekend, we're the fourth weekend, so we will have total access to the trails, night and day, such as in previous years.
It fits in a groove. It'll make sense when you install it. You start it at one side and get the gasket under the lip and work your way around the circumference.
