I've been thinking about this and I wonder if a kind of stick on (or screw on) style seal could be added to the frame to make a better seal. A larger seal that's single piece that fits in the window that folds out could also help as would perhaps a bushing that fits onto the window frame itself...

Better yet, I'll be making a trip to Winchester next year in the early spring late winter to Head to Fort Indian Town Gap. I run up I81 past Winchester and stop at the Flying J there. I can meet up with you along the way if you like?

If its an M813A1 from the USMC, then it should also have detroit lockers in the rear diff. That's the ISO Dropside bed. It'll carry ISO containers in the following modes. 1 12' container 1 10' container 2 6' containers (end doors facing the side) With Singles and everything else good, I'd...

Hmm, I think for a Duece, the GG1's horn would be just fine. http://www.dieselairhorns.com/bythetracks/displayimage.php?album=5&pos=11

Jones, so you're thinking those are 1/2" chains and not 3/8"? Magnus, there's only a pair of binder/chain assemblies on the rear. DOT guidelines say that you need .8 gees worth of holding force on the rear of the vehicle to prevent forwards movement. The front chains (or each corner) are...

Check the fuel compensator. If there is a length of fuel line that runs from the fuel compensator and then back to it (looks like the lobe of a highway cloverleaf) then it's been bypassed.

Are two 3/8" chains enough to hold the back end of that HEMMT? .8 Gees for forward motion seems outside the scope of just two 3/8" chains and that large of a truck.

Ga supposedly only registers trucks that are 14000 lbs or less empty. Deuce just qualify. 5 Tons don't. I went to get a PX tag for my M813A1 when I was first getting it registered. I laid all my cards on the table. Picture of the truck, pictures of my armored cars I wanted to move with it...

Get a Commo Shelter and install it in the Bed. Then convert that with a porta toilet, bed and some cooking gear. Instant MV RV. Well, sort of instant....just add green paint... ;)

RE: Big Dumb Trailer... You overbuilding the tow ring?

Darnit, my ace in the hole source for WVO sells theirs. Now I'll have to pester total strangers. Hmm, I wonder what the indian restaurants do with their oil. That could be an interesting smell going down the road. Hmmm, Garlic nan and curry....

Oh, man, I spent SOOOO much time painting roco minitanks in that pattern. I could probably do that on a real truck in my sleep....

There's a definitions section that in fact defines RV. Can't tell you where, but it's there. It exempts certain vehicles, in general, farm vehicles, emergency vehicles and RVs.

Ahh. Yes. That's your out. But, if you can, try to get a NON-Commercial Class B license (as a farmer perhaps) that'll allow you out of state if you just couch the truck as a fun vehicle.

Another word on the Big trucks and CDL rules. The Feds, are quire clear on the subject, irrespective of what kind of truck it is, if you use it for personal uses only (even hauling things to and from a rally) its not considered commercial and you do NOT need a CDL. If you use an RV for...

Linesplice, I took a little time trying to look at CT statutes. Sorry dude, but your state's webmaster has his head up his ass. Chapter 246 has the requisite code sections, but if you try to browse the chapter it downloads the entire 1.4 megs EVERY SINGLE TIME, and with how they seem to get...

5 tons are 44,000 lbs GVW. They'll carry 10 tons on the road per the manual. Check your CT laws and see if there's a NON Commercial license that handles that size.

Why cut the existing mount? Why not make a new one?
