    That's how it's down down in these parts. Same $50 but the plates are only good for 5 yrs. No inspection, no mileage restrictions (from the state; my insurance has an annual limit but no record of my mileage was ever inquired). You have a choice of plates that say "Military Vehicle"...

    Yeah, CTIS controller for LMTV. As it sits, it should work with any truck that uses the same Spicer controller as the LMTV. So if the M35's controller is interchangeable, so to would be this. Beyond that, you'd have to ask Plasa. What makes it special is that it does everything that the...

    Yeah, the 24v capable units are st00pid expensive now. Way cheaper to just get a 12v charger for each battery.

    I should have scrolled down and read your post before I chimed in. But yeah, it instantly flagged as suspicious when I saw it.

    Might want to look into that site before ordering. It's throwing red flags as being a scam site at every level. Website registration: On 18th April 2022, the Glanto shop was registered. Registrar: GoDaddy.com LLC was the registrar of the Glanto shop. Trust score: Glanto has a very poor...

    Actually, a buddy here in town who works at a sailing charter gave me a Xantrex inverter/charger 3.0 that had come out of a sailboat. It was thought bad, but replacement did not solve their issue so he said it could have been viable. Sadly, it was a paperweight...

    Oh I'm not disagreeing. I just accept the fact that I'd get a lemon no matter what I purchase. LOL Magnum are used in a LOT of ambulance boxes (I spent three years studying/researching ambo's to use as a build platform/hab). But the prices on all the "best" brands are simply out...

    I'd love to do Victron, Xantrex (again), etc. I just personally don't see the features justifying the added cost. Victron CS has some aweful reviews out there. And they ALL fail at some point, no matter the brand. Not in my budget for this build in any event. Certainly not if I'm...

    No worries. I do chuckle when I hear someone poo-poo a brand that they had used....offroad....for a couple years...or with no notable use but never really "burned in 24 hrs to discover fault" and went to use it and it was dead, etc. They ALL can do that. And they are ALL made in...

    I don't know anyone personally using a Renogy inverter but after years of tire-kicking, eye-balling, review-reading, and pondering inverters I've come to believe four things: Like most electronics, if they are defective you will discover it within the first 24 hours of running under load...

    Need to hack into it and substitute a little image of an LMTV. ;) Otherwise, I'll be interested to see how this adapts. I know they have them on cars and I know they have them on pickups but I've not seen this type 360 system on an RV (commercial truck, garbage truck, etc). It's all...

    My neighbor has that one and it is quiet! I picked up one of these at Sam's Club last month. Really for the house and backup power (always wanted a spare for hurricane season). I have 6K diesel on the M1079 also as a backup...

    Mission-specific. Older CPU and RAM can choke on modern software and Internet sites. But yes you can do a lot with an old Linux box. I wouldn't say better off due to the hardware antiquity. The physical components of a 15 y/o PC simply don't talk to each other or process data anywhere near...
