Yep, Sean's blew do to over presure (not enough return when his hydraulic AC compressor seemingly locked up). Seeing his, I would think there's a possible correlation related to pressure. Here's his YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNlWk4tKtbY

I'll be using new plugs (one for 12v and another for 24v). I'll be mounting this type of connector (*see image) My little electric crane wench only draws 50-70 amps at max load and I was thinking that a set of 6 AGW cables would do for a 20' run (that should reach all four bed corner...

1) Is the single pin plug on the LMTV 24v only? 2) If I wanted to add/mount separate 24v and 12v plugs (to run my own sets of custom jumper cables, 12v to my crane, etc) what gauge should I make my leads coming off the batteries to the plug mount location if I add new ones (is 1 awg needed to...

Agreed. First class all the way.

Got my much needed Primeweld TIG225X so I can start some fab work. Crane mount is finished (FINALLY), now to do the wiring and quick-disconnect off the dreaded and magical smoke container under the ether bottle.

If you never plan to carry any weight in the back, why not look into having a leaf removed. I know it was done to civilian trucks to soften the ride on "cowboy Cadillacs" as we used to call them (all truck and no cattle).

I'd have to look, but I seem to recall that there was a maintenance order that was done to replace the nut with a lock nut. I saw a video of a fellow documenting his recovery who went thru this exact story (in the OP) and even re-tightened the nut when it first came off and the PS/air...

Most of my time is spent on Padre Island and at night I get a lot of recovery requests. Even with the amber convoy strobe, backup alarm, and backup camera I'm always leery of people on foot trying to "help" (there is typically alcohol involved with folks being stuck at the beach at night). So...

Cerveza extraction mechanism added to each front fender.

You're the second person to recommend this. I can see how the bed liner would add an extra layer of strength (and the price is far more palatable than a replacement, at least according to my empty pockets). I'd still love a steel grill someday, though. :)

Thanks, you nailed it. Re-charged each battery to over 12v and all is well....

1078 A0 w/3116 22.7v and 10.4v at the test points on the panel with ignition ON

[RESOLVED] Ignition On All Night: CLICK EDIT: OK, after further and complete charging it was just low voltage So the other night I was running a wire thru the cab and testing a few things. It was getting dark and I was on the co-driver side. I buttoned everything up for the night and went...

I'll see if we can point him here.

Awesome followup there, Christian ! Good to hear that it is working as intended.

A couple 4' pieces of 1" steel pipe to help slide the wheels off/on is handy (especially if soloing).

OK, back in 2014 the TxDMV passed arule banning anything the deemed a “dune buggy” invalid for title, registration, and on-road use. This effected sand rails,fiberglass tub cars (ie Manx), as well as many kit cars. Last year letters were sent out to owners mandating the return of the titles...

Yeah, a couple of my Goodyears have no date stamp.

Enough people scrap their beds I would think someone here with a parts truck might have access to some.

How much room/space did you end up using for the shower/head? Just curious what the whole thing took up in the way of floor plan (including the wall).
