    I have a new sheet of perforated steel that should be here Monday and all the communications gear will be moved over with just leaving the solid state relays. Figure me and the wife will put about 300 rounds into the plate before I tape some tarnnite to it.

    I know but I need something to shoot at, and relive some stress.

    Tannerite removal tool will be used after several .223 attempts have been made.

    Better yet, I'm going to take everything but the relays off since everything else is bolted on and shoot the ever loving crap out of the sheet. I think 500 rounds should be enough. I'll be sure to video it.

    The fun part will be removing 32 rivets to get the relays off.

    Nope, 5.56 will work very nice to rectify the problem.

    After spending about an hour trying to figure out what was wrong I pulled the full specs for the relays to find out they are temperature control relays. Yep not good for my application. I'll find a use for them, target practice.

    Well another setback. All my solid state relays will not activate under load. So quick search on eBay and 16 new mechanical 24v coil relays are on the way along with 12 shock absorbers for mounting. Will try to do the tires this weekend and rubberize the cab, and possibly mount the seat.

    Could I use this kit to recover 5 tons?

    The ibes tek tow bars are not on the authorized tow bar list in the recovery tow bar smart book on the Army safety website. That is why you are seeing them being flooded on GL.

    serpentine mudflap VHF antenna

    I love how it states 20-500 MHz but the vswr graph even shows anything below 90 MHz is over 3:1 I like the idea behind it but without a matching unit to accompany it your just melting the ice off the mudflap. With the antenna so low to the ground the radiation pattern wouldn't be effective as...

    Can't be to effective and if you are expecting to use it on cb forget about it. I would image it is a unity gain type antenna.

    Yeah I would only be able to fit one 280 on my trailer. Sure it will all get figured out though.

    Jeep if you can't make it and your trailer is good for the trip I could tandem it with the shelters on it. What are the size of the shelters and weight, might fit on my trailer.
