The 55W and 100W are easier to do, I just need to stick/screw them to a good heatsink (PC/CPU type works fine). For the 500W I will be buying a high power 24VDC power supply for testing and development (1500Watts). Once I get there I will be taking pictures and video. I really do have to...

The 500Watt LED stretched my ability to drive it with simple bench parts - its rating is 6.95Amps @ ~72VDC to output 55,000 lumens. I had to charge a few 56-Farad ultra capacitors I have from a paused car stereo project to run in parallel with the bench supply just to run the two boost...

Not sure how to reply to that without getting myself or you in trouble ;). I fired up a few of my high powered LEDs this morning while my kid was busy eating oatmeal (only time I can squeeze in quick tasks at home if he's awake) - sorry, there won't be pcis yet, I had to hold the LED against...

Hopefully, mine isn't that ugly :)

NVIS Class A dash board looks like it will happen thanks to a great vendor going the extra mile to help out the little guy (me). The sample bag they sold me arrived: My cell camera does pretty good justice considering that the room is well lit when this picture is taken (so the camera's gain...

Any updates?

500Watt LEDs came :) Here's the 500Watt LED between a 100Watt LED and the 28V armor headlight (for scale): Just eyeballing it, I think it should fit inside the case with some wiggle room :) Doing the math, I'm going to have to water-cool this LED, so I'll have to figure out how to do that...

In keeping with the LED theme, I moved the instrument cluster gauges from incandescent bulbs to white LEDs. However, I also desired to have functional NVIS illumination for the dash, much like the blue LED dome lights provide (with the addition of an IR filter) - so that when I switch the...

The frame steel came, but so has the cold, windy, wet weather... This weekend was spent preparing for a move (upgrading our domicile size) and my own computer server maintenance, the next few weeks will be pretty useless here - I may get to poke at the project a bit here and there, but I may be...

Your wobble could be alignment, too much lift with spring wrap, bad bearings, worn king-pins, lack of lube, screwed up u-joints, flat spots on tires, loose or worn-out bushings, rounded out mounting holes for suspension parts (the last two on panhard bar could do it) - or a combination of...

That looks nice. I like it :)

Before anyone else says it about the fuel tanks etc...: Yes, this project is suffering from feature creep. :)

Glad to see the Forum is back up!!! Thanks admins!!! A few minor updates: Being sick sucks - this is the second time in three weeks (after a flu shot, so that was worth it...), and both times are just in time for a weekend... Ordered steel Wednesday for boxing in the frame, which should...

I think it would be awesome if we had a large number of this type of truck. It would make for an impressive convoy :)

I received my shipment from lavarok today (Thanks!!) I should have enough parts to make it look like a CUCV now. I will be mixing and matching some pieces to get a full set from what I have ordered from you guys. The spare hitch will end up in a 2-1/2" receiver adapter. Here's what I got...

The company that was occupying our time has returned home, so I'll be picking this back up. It's nice to see another member making an effort to the end of cramming a 6BT into a CUCV, take a peak at muddobber40's thread: voilà He's a bit ahead of me with respect to getting the engine and...

I like the engine mount method, I hope you don't mind if I copy it a bit. :)

Thanks, if possible could you do some close-ups of the parts of the frame you trimmed to squeeze the AC and harmonic balancer in? I'm also interested in your engine mounts, they don't look stock at all (I will be doing something more like a Class 6 truck's mounts).

Stuff from lavarok is on its way (Thanks!). That concludes the CUCV parts search - now I just need those darn antennas...

I was watching a video on a page talking about the JLTV project, when I noticed that Oshkosh is using the same or similar model Donaldson PowerCore PSD air cleaner/filter housing. In this video (between 2:26 and 2:54)...
