Ah, bummer.

I remember the first year we watched Dakar on cable. My GF asked "who the **** races garbage trucks in the desert?"

Oddly enough, I've been rather shocked at the number of owners I've read about (mostly new of course) who simply didn't know about or didn't check the knob. My neck would scream bloody murder if those bags were down. LOL Heh, you know those trucks are pure shell and DOM tubing on top of...

Maybe some pics of the steel plates in question (showing location). Someone on here would likely know...

And checking the nut on the air compressor gear set is a wise call. I've seen a number of videos where people fried their engines as a direct result of that failure. It was an upgrade specified by the Army (removing the nut and replacing with a locknut) but obviously a lot of these trucks were...

I don't think resign-based potting will "melt off" inverted on an oven rack. It will "gel" at it's "liquidation" point, but not "flow". Any increase in heat beyond that would simply start to burn things...

Looks like about the same size box as I'm going with (a 14' ambulance box like Coachgeo is using as well). His truck already has the spare and intake removed, but I plan on leaving it like you did then add a slight cut in the rear to maintain the departure angle. Love what you did for the...

Interesting to know that Motorola also made ECUs for LMTV/MTVs. I'd only seen Dana Spicer ECUs until today.

Not knowing which potting material is specifically used here, but we used to pull epoxy-sealed units apart after boiling in distilled water.

True for HUMVEES Not true for LMTVs and other MVs (at least from what I've gathered)

That's an interesting concept, but I know just enough about turbos to be dangerous. So in essence, you be running the turbo at max boost at all times? The Road Warrior in me likes this idea... "I live, I die! I live again! " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHJnE4H0idQ

I didn't see one (else I'd have asked) so I'd assume whatever it was must have sold. I know he said he had sold his trailer (and he had a nice gen for sale, but far too big for my needs with no place to park it).

Heh Small world indeed...

Scott DeWitt was kind enough to video the procedure over on FB. https://www.facebook.com/scottmandula/videos/10156790237418524/ *if links aren't allowed for some reason, let me know and I'll remove it

Texas lost our dunebuggies on the roads due to the TxDMV slipping in a rule change. They revoked titles (good luck selling one, they are treated as "equipment" according to the TxDMV), they refuse to issue any new titles (purchased or constructed dunebuggies), and the more we challenged it the...

That's the million dollar question. "Shaft, Shoulder" Someone said it was used to remove the tray.

Look to be beacon mounts to me. With the lenses removed and just the raw strobe in the video).

Yes. A couple of toys in there. A little sand rail (VW-powered): And my Baja pre-runner (I didn't build this one, but it's akin to some we did in the past): So I was chillin' on the island watching college girlies and waiting on sunset, when this happened:

Added an industrial (neighbor-annoying) backup alarm. Painted the tailgate (OCD made me do it) and faded it in a bit to match the weathering on the rest of the truck. Got familiar with the tarp options. And last night I made sure I could get the spare off in the dark with only a flashlight.

Also, it would appear that there may be copies of viewing software available for free for individual civilian use: https://en.freedownloadmanager.org/Windows-PC/EMS-NG.html *I did not pull this down yet
