I have a rattlecan.... we can fix that... do you know where he parks it?

Exactly that. I had forgotten all about starting this thread. Thanks for the resurrection.

So many fun opportunities you guys are missing. Some idiot pisses you off in traffic just skip two gears and mash it. Now his cab is full of black and he cant see. Post #24 is step by step the only safe and effective way to do this in a Humvee. . How will that guy react when you ask for his...

Common rail allows far more precise fueling. 380hp and 850lbs of torque out of 6.7 liters WITHOUT the idiocy of black smoke, at near factory settings. Turn it up just a bit, and 500hp/1000lbs is within reach, again WITHOUT a cloud of smoke to piss off the bystanders... Clean power is the...

Beware of vibration...

I speculate that GL got outbid on the truck contract because someone knew that the hmmwvs would be able to be sold as trucks and not as scrap. (Sheer speculation on my part and labeled as such). Wil, as I'm sure you know better than I do, "winning" a bid is only winning so long as there's...

All I've ever seen on CUCV's, deuces, or 5tons is the cotter pin variety.

Here's a link to the mentioned VA law - https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?176588-Bad-Bill-for-Title-Military-Surplus-Off-Road-Moves-to-Virginia-Senate And since you mentioned wanting to buy a truck I sent you a PM with a shameless plug of my truck for sale.

I went digging and found this - "tes90: While I like POR for car frames (and, by the way, you can buy it direct from por15.com), I'd be hesitant to use it on a heated part. When heated, it emits a huge cloud of incredibly smelly, probably toxic smoke, and continues to emit it until all the POR...

It's an exhaust manifold. Even in your tropical climate it should take more than your lifetime for it to rust through. I've used other phosphoric acid rust killers on other components. If you proceed, care should be taken so that it doesn't get on green CARC, otherwise it turns a sickly faded...

Diesels equipped with DPF do exactly that in order to regen the particulate filter. Temperatures inside the exhaust system of 1400* and above are frequently seen. I can think of a lot of bad things this would do for components not designed for it. (In fact, the list of badness for those...

Restricting air should have the same effect as delivering excess fuel. Partially occlude the air filter. I can't imagine why anyone would want to do this. Half the people who witness it will think "what an idiot!".... The other half will think "we need more laws!".... Neither is a reaction...

Rust causes the shoes to stick to the drums. More frequently seen in tractor variants.

In 939series trucks I've beat on the drums with BFH and been successful.

Build a new bumper?

Worry more about loss of fluid than loss of air....

A clean title in one state does not guarantee a clean title in another state. The presence or absence of an offroad stamp on the paperwork isn't driving the restrictions: those states placing restrictions are restricting ALL of them. Those states allowing them are similarly allowing ALL of them.

It's worth going from DMV office to DMV office until you get one that's cooperative. My experience has been that the single largest variable is who you get behind the counter. I have no specific experience with Florida. Edit - after reading Porky's PDF, I'd advise you to avoid at all costs...

That's my read on it. Wait 6 years, or move (again)

The single biggest variable in registering MV''s has in my experience been who you get behind the DMV counter. This plays a bigger role than written policy or black letter law. Go to a different office. You'll likely be successful. OH has no prohibition on MV's to my knowledge.
