Did you ever figure out who, at the top, is driving the hate? Its got to be some career politician that's taking money from some adversely interested party. Its not like a prius full of prom girls got murdered by some evil war machine just back from afghanistan....is it?

I like the Avenger style but with the paddle latch. I thought about plywood, but I would prefer to just do it once out of aluminum. Thanks for the info on the thickness. I may still go with thicker sheet in hopes of gaining rigidity without the riveted bracing and having a fold down filler...

Are you sure that's the official position at DMV HQ in Raleigh? I called our main office in Phoenix and was pleasantly surprised by the helpfulness of the first person I talked to there. Sent me a copy of the affidavit as you couldn't click to find it on their website yet. Unlike the "deep...

oops

While that is technically true, the army does require that its vehicles meet those standards anyhow. Its all spelled out in MIL-STD-1180B Safety Standards for Military Ground Vehicles. Luckily I was able to sign the affidavit here in AZ.

I'm slowly working on half doors for mine, too. It looks like you popped for the real deal to start with. Im going to fab my own. Im waiting on my local metal supply to save me some 24x38 remnants of 1/4 or 3/16 aluminum sheet. I started by just adding a piano hinge to the door filler panel...

Thanks for the great writeup on those. There is a guy selling them locally for $65 and I have been considering getting a set to install.

I got mine quick. Auction ended 12/7/18. Picked up 1/8/19. Received SF-97 1/24/19 Army. Marked Off Road Only. Had clean title, regular plates, emissions, and insurance within two hours of receiving the SF-97. Call your state DMV main office for info on the latest hoops for registering a Truck...

I would try to do this... Instead of timbers and stuff, I would try two heavyduty pallets and two HD ratchet straps. Instead of timbers, use the tires with pallets on top. strapped down tight and all the front and rear strapped down, you should be well within the load specs.. .

How bout a picture of your rig so we can get a better idea of what you are thinking of doing I drove flatbed tow trucks for years so Ive carried some stuff that was pushing the limits. What you are describing may be feasible if done right. Id have to see your truck, bed, and tiedown setup though

Couple ideas from my recent Yermo pickup experience. If it drives, they will usually drive it out to you. That's what they did for me. The other guy that was there to pick up got a non runner and his was forked onto his trailer. I saw them do a nice job of it, but I would rather not as Ive seen...

When I started doing my research, the first place I called was the AZ DOT state office. The horses mouth so to speak. The nice lady there told me about the military vehicle on-road compliance affidavit. She said there wasn't a way to get to it by clicking on the website, but if you searched the...

I got them from my local HMMWV treasure trove for 20 bucks each like new. Hes got 20 + left. both black and tan. Found the guy searching "HMMWV parts" on PHX craigslist

Yes. I just did mine in record time within 24 hour of receiving my sf97. Arizona has a specific form/affidavit they don't advertise that is for you to swear that it meets all AZDOT specs. Which are the USDOT specs. Add reverse light and license light and you are good to go with an level 1...

Inspired by the 81mm mortar ammo rack And this Ibis(?) fuel can rack I fabbed this hybrid version Ran out of paint right at the end, though.

Actually, the one I went to had nothing but DMV employees as keynote speakers. They have been leaders of the bureaucracy training industry since they took over from the water department in the early 1900s

Nice affordable setup. I have a similar setup from sportys I got in like 1990. Cheapest they had. Still working fine.

Even so, it popped up and made me go check my hubs with the IR temp gun. They were all 25-30 degrees above ambient temperature. Im running Walmarts finest 80W90. Im satisfied with those temps.
