Thanks for the info. 4 gallons an hour is a bit too rich for my blood. They were using it to heat job sites. It might be a bit too much for a 80 x 40 ft shop I am guessing.
A guy here in town is selling a 800k BTU heater trailer for 150 dollars. Is it worth getting? I need a shop heater but this seems like a bit much. it is in pretty good shape.
Comes with all the flexible ducting and some spares.
I pm'd mine the day i got it and got her up to what I thought was good. I have had my truck apart for rebuilding for the past 3 months and while i was working with the front axel I took a closer look at the lines going from the axel to the wheels. They were a little cracked on top of the rubber...
Ha ha me and my wife took your trucks brother through the mc'ds drive through the other day. It JUST fit under the overhang without the cover on. The crew at this mcdonalds was cheering us on too. Took me a couple tries to get it lined up under the window. Exactly 2 inches on each side to spare...
I was very tempted to use the decking for my deuce. I was afraid of the warping factor to it. keep us posted how it holds up. My truck is about 90% complete with its paint job. I just took a wagner paint eater grinder to the original wood to strip it.
We had them on almost everything in the CAV. They tended to get trashed and bent up pretty fast. They tended to bind when siding them in and out of their mounts when you were cleaning the vehicle.
Trade in on the bike is around 1800 bucks so it might be worth it if the deuce is in alright shape. Any info on the truck? running not running, good tires, what was the deadline list if you PM'd it, ect ect.
I just picked up a 12 ton bottle jack to toss in the BII box. It was a little pricey but pretty worth it for these jobs. I have a large 3.5 ton jack like that and bent one of the wheels slightlly using it with a loner jack lifting the front of my fj40 to put new springs on it. I don't trust...
maybe stick it in a mounted vise so the short sides are in the clamp and beat it out with a hammer and a long piece of round steel. Thats how I think I would do it.
Just a side note and funny story. Some of my old unit went to Germany to help train some units in Armor and were issued M60a3 tanks as OPFOR. On manuvers one of the tanks tried to climb a nasty grade. It stalled and rolled backwards. The guys in the tank found out real quick that the intake...
Those things are so fun to watch going down the tank trail. They rock like crazy when it gets rough. We had a 104 following us at Ft Hood trying to keep up with our a2s. He got into some wahoos, nosed in and stopped dead. Looked really painful.
We had the CTIS system on our xm1114s in bosnia/kosovo and we had to disable every one of them. They never worked. I would avoid the hmmwv CTIS like the plague. The control plate is in a strange spot anyway.
I would use them as farm tires but not something that might go on a road and have you swirv into on coming traffic. Just my two cents. I am pretty careful about what I drive down the highway.
