Worth the investment. I don't think you could wear those out in even 150 years!

Back in 2009 a fellow over at Pirate4x4 came up with an idea and produced the below dimple die set for use with simple cost effective hydraulic setups. Though I suspect one could buy only the few D-Dies they think they might need instead of the whole set

That'a a great turn-out. Thanks for the pics!
What's the story behind the Dodge just in front of the flag, (the M37 "stretch" with dual axles) is that G.I. or something modified?

Started some work on the front light bar. The lights are 9" LED , 225 watts each.
All from the new work station. All work great. So much better than manual .

Somrone told me that the headlights on the M1078 were poor. So I add some. What do you think ?
So with a set of H4's and 6 225 Watt LED's I should have it covered. You think ?

Looks nice. I don't think the original headlight location is bad. The original bulbs are a bit dim. If you are going off roading at night all that extra light can't hurt. Take a pic at night with them on.

It looks great; more like lights with a truck underneath rather then a truck wearing some lights.

Are you going to have pairs of them on different switches? Are you also going to bring the FMTV to the Overland expo?

I wish the truck would be ready but no. She will stay here. Going to take the Semi/RV. Think I am going to be apart of a round table on building big trucks for overlanding. Allan I'm going to run 3 ( one outers,one mids,one centers) 24 volt switches for the sets.(using the 24 volt to cut down on the amps) Total load will be 57 amps. So I'm thinking 3 25 amp circuits.

Now you just know that you got to give us a walk-through of that gem.
Have you got a thread about it here in the mess hall or anything?!

I live in Soldotna but mine out of Coldfoot. I have two A3 Deuces at the mine and just bought an LMTV. I use my Deuces mainly for fuel transport and I removed the CTIS on both of them as I got tired of all the flat tires every spring.Most of my equipment has tracks but if it has tires it gets blocked up when I shut down for the winter. The LMTV will be used for transportation and moving supplies up and down the river and I thought it might be nice to have the system working especially if it would air up the tires on start up. A friend just picked up my LMTV and it is sitting in Fairbanks ready to go north when the river opens up. He told me the only thing he found not working was the CTIS. All five lights are lit as well as all five indicator lights and the system does nothing. When he picked it up it had one low tire that he needed to inflated with his compressor. Any help would be appreciated. If it would work for you I would give you a call? By Alaskan standards we are neighbors and it would be nice to talk with you.

looks cool I have some led li8ghts like that on one of my snowcats they work well on cold clear nights. they suck if snow is coming down raining or foggy the led scatters so much light they are hard to drive with in inclement weather my truck will likely get some hid or halligon driving lights work lights will be led just because of the light scatter.
