    Supplies for a Long Trip

    I'm curious: - Is there a mark or indication of any kind on the nut to give you a heads-up that it's left-handed threads? That's the criminal thing about the darn things, you can encounter them and have NO warning that you're up against the cosmic joke that they are. aua

    Supplies for a Long Trip

    I can't recall what year was mentioned as being the end of the old approach.

    who out here has a Pinzgauer

    I agree that the Pinz is a sweet vehicle. Are you saying that the UAZ is slow; without much "pick-up" speed?

    Supplies for a Long Trip

    This issue has been addressed before in at least one other thread on here. As I recollect: - At one time this was true as a rule. - The engineering behind it related to avoiding loosened lug nuts from tire rotation. - After a while (apparently) experience proved it wasn't necessary and so now...

    M1010 for my daughter the field biologist

    I get it; so it should be two bars crossed, so it can 'spin" open-and-closed, like a paddle, right?

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I'll cut this drift short, but that's an important day for you then; congratulations! Beekeeping is good stuff; the ladies work hard and they are your friends. Enjoy!

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I used to keep a few hives out in Potomac, a long time ago. Learned my beekeeping from Dewey Carron, back when he was the nation's guru at UMD (College Park). How long have you been keeping bees, pitpawten?

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Language is like that: - The word can have multiple meanings. :jumpin:

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    It's just a shorthand that Uncle Sam uses for procurement. It's a federal registry of Suppliers and Contractors: - Makes the game easier as purchasing agents and agencies can quickly determine the background, details, and history of any contractor/ supplier that they might be doing business...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    That's very cool. Will these various sources quote you as a private individual even though you don't have a CAGE Code?

    Oh, yeah, your thread. DOH! :oops:

    M1010 for my daughter the field biologist

    Reading your saga, jpg, makes me so glad this isn't my project. :mrgreen: But I'm loving reading about your build. You're getting it done; hang tough!

    M925 a1 armored crew cab

    Maybe you just have "cross" on your mind: - I don't see a cross (as in crucifix), I just see hardware.

    I'm not arguing that point with you (and now you know how I know). :3dAngus: It was a few years back, and it doesn't sting so much now. But I still don't like remembering.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I wasn't sure what that was. And I decided that Google really IS my friend, and so leaning on a buddy when in need: - I see that it PartTarget looks pretty good. Not sure how the purchasing works. Is it priced right? http://www.parttarget.com/

    LMTV Upgrades

    But what activates the "purging"? Unless the valve is pointed down and you physically pinch it now and then: - You otherwise need some kind of positive air pressure or something don't you?

    tim292stro's M1009 (formerly math1960's)

    I used to tap bumpers myself when parallel parking. I could get into amazingly tight spaces; even enjoyed the challenge. But I don't do that anymore: - I was jockeying my car once into a tight squeeze, and admittedly using the bumpers front-and-back AS bumpers (but not being aggressive about...

    2016 SoCal Spring Rally

    You're thinking like a lawyer, NovacineFix, but your handle makes me figure that you're in the dental line of work. But you got the right line of thinking here for sure. Now it's just a matter of finding a precedent or two of similar vehicles getting registered (the law loves precedent). And...
