It's just that I like listening to the engine and its really not the loud inside (soft top) I like to know what's going on with the drive train and engine and don't have any passengers that are new to the platform
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I’m running a PA400ST intercom with 4 avcomm headsets. Works pretty great overall and runs on 9-33V. Working on a way to give the gunner seat its own intercom control with a push to talk.
I’ve hooked the radio output of the intercom to a cheap baofeng radio, so anyone in the truck can talk to anyone else in another truck with the same setup. Should be fun in convoy.
My Sigtronics intercom runs on a 9V battery or I can hook it up to run on 24v which is aircraft voltage. A 9v lythium lasts forever in truck with me using it here and there. Glad to see others have gone the aviation route.

Nice. For me the rear door gap is caused by how the door is aligned with the hinges. If done correctly, the should not be a gap at the top. Well, no more of a gap than elsewhere. When I drilled my door hinges, I lacked that information. The door is a bit high and I have a slight gap at the top. But it is right under the rough so no big deal.Test fit the doors i bought from Austin @beltfed, great guy to buy from.
I have to remove all the hardware and brackets, remake or buy some bracket parts and work on the doors for a smoother finish and a coupme of cracks. I have to figure out the gap on the rear doors and C pillar. Other than that happy and excited with the new to me doors.
That’s pretty nifty, wonder if there’s something similar that can be bought as an adjustable retention system. I’ve been considering an 1152 build as I just sold my pickupInstalled some tie-down provision in the bed of the truck. With the water-dam keeping water out, it also blocks the two tie-down rings. If I take the doors off I have no way to tie them down in the bed, and no way to tie anything else down either.
I've had this aircraft seat-track since the early 90s, so that didn't cost me anything. In fact, I installed four 6" pieces and it didn't cost me anything other than time.
Each 6" piece of track can hold three rings. I may add a couple more in the middle for smaller items. With the rings stowed, the track sits below the surface of the bed, so it won't be in the way.

The rear wall clips to this thing, which was in the way. The rear wall will clip in to the tie-down ring instead.
