    Forward Operating Base In-a-Can

    I also already have a side-to-end boot kit (NOS, unissued), and I'm working with another party to complete a side-to-side boot kit (used). This should give me options with orientation and setup. I still need to get an open-end to open-end connector kit, I have not seen these around much so I...

    Forward Operating Base In-a-Can

    Maybe I got a good one? [thumbzup] I was able to expand the tent myself and get one half of the outer shell up myself in the storage unit parking lot (no pics, I was blocking the driveway so time was a factor). Yes, 350lbs is a b!+c# to manhandle yourself for sure, but I'm certain two able...

    Forward Operating Base In-a-Can

    First tent has arrived, and I already have a line on the second 305 (with the required stove fitting!!). Dang that was a big box for a tent (30-50% air in the top): And it'll make getting into my storage unit a bit more interesting: All of the accessories were included, the repair kit with...

    Re power ideas

    Yes, and there are probably hundreds or people who just keep it mechanical - I'm certain you recognize that this is the modification forum, I for one am interested in what he can and will do to this truck. It's kind of like when some one turns a deuce into a rat rod - sure it won't make...

    Mkt85 modded for our cub scout group

    I made Eagle, and my first is about 2 years away from Tiger, that'll happen :) I can swing a full camp, but not a kitchen that size so color-me jealous :mrgreen:.

    Mkt85 modded for our cub scout group

    Ah - the memories of camp-outs with Boy Scouts growing up... We never had a kitchen so good, but we could have used one. I recall whipping out the whisper-lites so that we could get enough burners going for a Pancake Cook-out (those are the ones that blow up if you don't start it right :burn: ).

    XM1027 - CUCV Crew Cab Build

    The wife was nice enough to sacrifice herself to two kids for a few hours so I could make some more headway after Halloween. Pulled the old lift pump: Pulled the fuel lines: Pulled the valve covers: Pulled the water pump and fan/pulley: The oil filler neck and damper/crank-pulley: The...

    Re power ideas

    Are you considering a tool-box fuel tank? You can put some group 31's inside the tool box and 50+ gallons in the fuel tank part... Just 50 gallons? I think the first reason I am doing a Cummins is the simplicity of the engine - K.I.S.S. The P7100 "p-pump" is actually a muti-fuel pump (has a...

    XM1027 - CUCV Crew Cab Build

    Most of my project time has been taken up sharing Halloween festivities with my kids. I got a bit more taken off the engine, but no new pictures. I did pick up a York 210 to convert into an on-board air compressor. This should remove the compressor below the bed (freeing up space for the...

    Forward Operating Base In-a-Can

    The CF-30 (Core 2 Duo) I have a bunch of in the pictures is now replaced by the CF-31 (Core i5). This makes "new" parts harder to get from resellers (not your BestBuy, Fry's Eletronics, NewEgg, CDW, etc...). In general what you are finding now is resellers who supported Government contracts...

    Forward Operating Base In-a-Can

    The first 305 tent is officially on its way from Virginia, it should be here in CA early next week - then I just need to go pick it up at the depot... :driver: Also, it's raining ToughBooks here... I have enough now to do the 4x I wanted for the FOBIC general workstations, 1x which will end...

    A Squids M1008 Plan/Build

    Really sounds like a floating ground somewhere - I had a very similar effect on the Civilian C30 I bought. With a bad/weak/missing ground the power will back feed in ways you don't expect. Check the right side lighting grounds by the fixtures - it only takes bad apple one to make it fail like...

    How to hookup MEP-802A and MEP-003A through Asco transfer switch to dual 200A panels

    It's good for short ride-throughs, but to replace batteries in a 3KW/hr UPS, you'd need lots of them... The big ones I linked are 3Watt/hr each, so you'd need about a 1000 of them (before losses), that 3Watts can either come out quickly (max 15-second crank on an engine, or 15/3600ths of an...

    m1070 battery master switch

    I believe the clock in the tach has a battery inside. Also, you don't really want a disconnect switch on the starter - it would be HUGE to support the peak draw of a cold/hard start (>1000Amps). A sub-1Amp draw while off sounds like computers of various variety (DDCE [engine], ATEC...

    How to hookup MEP-802A and MEP-003A through Asco transfer switch to dual 200A panels

    That looks familiar - I used to do home theater installations in the 90's. Yes, I recall LaserDisc - nothing like composite video the size of an LP with RF digital audio out... talk about engineering compromises. Fun to watch Back to the Future 2 and see them in bales next to a dumpster - maybe...

    Survival 109 build

    That sounds complicated for getting a generator - I guess I just like having friends [thumbzup]
