    5.9l Cummins in M35A3

    That build speaks to me [thumbzup]

    KE5EUA's 818 Build

    Sounds like an interesting project - I'd like to make a few safety recommendations: 1) High idle - you intend to have this directly control the speed of the engine, the same engine which you as a driver are responsible for controlling in traffic. For this "wet stacking prevention" feature, I'd...

    5.9l Cummins in M35A3

    My 2cents, I'd stay away from New Venture transmissions - even Dodge stopped using them behind the Cummins, when they went out of business. You might want to look at medium duty transmissions with a 650ft-lbs and higher input shaft design (not simply an aftermarket "hack" to get an insufficient...

    KE5EUA's 818 Build

    If you were to do the disc conversion I'd say just do an axle swap - all the parts already install on them.

    Distracted driving

    Yeah and it's sad that many of the human-error crashes and accidents that happen now are the result of the human pilots over-reliance on automation (when the automation stops working, they don't know what they're doing), or the incorrect operation or interpretation of what the automation is...

    Distracted driving

    Here in California we have a fine for texting ($20-$76 first offense, $50-190 for each subsequent), and you can be cited for being "distracted" if you manage to make a convincing argument to the officer that it's not a phone - but defining texting/phone-use as reckless would make you subject to...

    Distracted driving

    Yeah, I think the Canadian threat of reckless driving is where to go, we just need to tweak what we consider reckless... From Wikipedia: "...Reckless driving is often defined as a mental state in which the driver displays a wanton disregard for the rules of the road; the driver often misjudges...

    Forward Operating Base In-a-Can

    Nope... most people that have them seem to hold onto them unless they were going to sell it anyway, or they found out they didn't have the space for it after a while. The usual places, and "word of mouth" is how I've done this so far - the deal I'm into now is word of mouth over the phone...

    Learning the "Zen" of buying things As a person visiting this website/forum, you may or may not have experience buying items at auction - but it is likely that you have at least once purchased something in your life. This post is intended to "chill you out" a bit, get you using your head, not...

    What is fixable and upgradable, and some things which aren't Basically anything can be replaced, you just need a replacement part and a bit of time an patience. A few examples of things I commonly see listed as broken for ToughBooks for sale: LCD screen cracked LCD screen scratched LCD...

    What is Available Some are cheap... It's also easy to look out there and see a ready to run machine for $475. If you have no computer skills, this may be where you have to go, but I'd still recommend taking a partner with some knowledge to get advice from.

    What specs do you need? As the title of this post says, what specs do you need? Think about what you are going to do with a computer rather than just what you can do with it. These are good questions to get started with, and be honest with yourself on the answers: What specific software are...

    Building and or Buying Panasonic ToughBooks Thread

    So the third time around being asked, I figure I should start a separate thread so I don't have to keep repeating myself - I don't mind, but it may be faster for new comers this way. I also chose this location since it directly relates to non-military-vehicle equipment, but equipment which is...

    Forward Operating Base In-a-Can

    So close to the last two tents it's painfull to wait... I also filed two classified ads for some missing parts from those two. I'm going to wait on the 103 for now to make more headway on other projects, I'm going to finish the case for the laptops and phones, then start working on the rack...

    Dana 60 front w/ crossover steering?

    I gotta say - that mount doesn't look like it does much good for side to side movement (what the cylinder should be imparting into the knuckles...). 2cents [EDIT:] I think it's poor form to just dog someone's idea without offering a solution or alternative. Here is what I am doing in my truck...
