    Bobtail Offroad Capability

    Same principle applies to this. Just because I put a 16 ply 12k tire on my F250 doesn't mean I can put 12k in the bed.

    Bobtail Offroad Capability

    Not necessarily. The tire can handle it but the hub design plays the factor here. The hub was designed to spread the load across the width of the duals. Now take the duals out, flip the hub and put a smaller width single tire on it. You put more strain on the outer bearing when you try to keep...

    Bobtail Offroad Capability

    Then 1/2 for carrying capacity and however deep your pockets are for installing a lift gate. The frame can support the full weight but it's the axles, spring packs, and tire configuration that plays a big part in how much you are going to safely carry.

    Bobtail Offroad Capability

    If we are talking about a bobbed deuce then the carry capacity should be roughly half of a dual axle. You have to consider when the vehicle was designed it was designed to carry 2.5 tons off road and 5 tons on highway with dual axles, dual wheels, and the springs it came with. Now, take out...

    Bobtail Offroad Capability

    You mean the 818? As far as a liftgate anything is possible with the right amount of money.

    Yet another MEP003a Issue!

    Ahh, ok I understand the glow plug needs now. Has anything been done to it as far as service and have you noticed any change in its running condition. If you are familiar with a multimeter you can check the glow plug circuit fairly easily. Have someone activate the glow plugs and touch the...

    Yet another MEP003a Issue!

    You should never run the starter that long. 30 sec max. Glow plugs are for cold weather starting. Is there any smoke coming out the exhaust when starting, white, black? Has ether ever been used to assist starting? Sounds more like a fuel issue as I'm pretty sure it isn't below 40 where your at.

    the XM971 "command camper" build

    They make flush mount receptacles and they can be found at most rv dealerships that has a parts department. Looking through the build I noticed he installed a 100A single phase breaker and that was also one of the reasons I asked about the 30A plug. Great build though, makes me want to get a...

    the XM971 "command camper" build

    When you use a female receptacle as your input you have to make what is called a suicide plug. All RV sites, your house, even the military "power-out" receptacle have the female on the pole / wall and your cord has the male end. This is for your safety in mind! Now if you have the female end...

    I scored a M923a1

    Did progressive write you a commercial policy? Right now I have a quote from gulfway for 123 a year. Usaa wanted to forward me to their partner but I was hesitant because I know how much a commercial policy is for these size trucks through progressive.

    How much is too little?

    We never ran our generators below 25% to prevent wet stacking. In the event we did run a light load on them I would crank on the 4 400 Hz generators, 2 christie power units for about 30 mins. Talk about cleaning out the system.

    surplus radio

    I know the general area we lost a 148 but not to sure it's still there. Been a few years ('06), and a couple IED's later. I second sigo, a working 148 is asking for trouble. Couple years ago I came across a RT-1439 sincgars with all the modules still in it on that famous auction site. Came...
