The Purple Power works very good on my civvy tires, but I doubt that it would do anything to the CARC. I had hell getting Paint stripper to do work on the CARC and I'm sure it would destroy the rubber. Maybe a fine wire brush wheel would work in a small test area and then you could proceed if...

I'm very glad to see that this will be in a tech article. I've still got more painting and assebling to do, but that will be my next project after I complete the paint work. I would like to know where to get the unzippered boots for my project. I haven't looked too hard yet because I have a...

RE: doors Doesn't look bad for a military vehicle to me. For the doors to line up when closed you would probably need to loosten up the post that engages the latch and that will hold up when closed. Once you got it looking good youcld try and adjust the hinges to make it close smoothly. All of...

RE: New Hot Weather Tests on Electric Cooling Fan I agree with Opcom, I thought most vehicles cooling systems would work without a fan if at highway speeds. I've lost a few belts over the years and was always able to keep temps down as long as I kept moving in cars, I would think a truck woulb...

Welcome Kyle, Everyone here is to be very positive and encouraging. I couldn't have made as much progress on mine without all th help I find here. My advice would be to figure out your budget before you get in over your head and find something you can just get in and go. I'm only a third...

I haven't checked my lottery numbers yet!

Hadn't had a chance to notice the problem yet, but Thanks for all you do Mike. littlebob

My favorite is the four-stroke dirt bikes with the two-stroke sound, I can't hardly finish watching the movie after I hear it. littlebob

I'm addicted and want a M900 series for the same reason I bought the Deuce, having said that I can appreciate the difference in the insurance and parts availability issues. Hope you get what you need for it and find something else soon...

Got it back on today! now I can hook all the things to hear it run again.

You can't do it, its against the rules. You can only sell your MV or weapon to buy a bigger badder one. littlebob

Do you need one? I might have an extra. littlebob

I moved it with a regular two wheel dolly to get from the garage to the patio. I'm using my M/C trailer to move it to wher I want to lift it to put back on. Thanks for all of the positive comments. littlebob

Yes it was galvanized, I don't remember the gauge, a friend had it left over from his Willys jeep and although I was very carefull about the fumes on the galvanized stuff, I know, I got a good dose of the CARC fumes when heating up my tongue jack on the M51 trailer. Anybody have any experience...

Thanks Clinto, I spent a lot of time on the cab, becuse it was such a pain, I will probably speed through the rest of the work to try and get it back on the road sooner. littlebob

I've been doing bodywork off and on on the replacement cab for a while and finally told myself, good enough. I repainted a lot of cars in my youth and always tried to make them perfect, but laess then perfect would be normal in this situation...

I had the same problem. I had my radiator off and cut the belt. I couldn't get the two halves apart on the truck. I've already ruined the seal on my steering gear by adding heat, so I took the complete pulley assy in the vice. It took a couple days but I was patient and used a lot of...

Glad to hear someone else has the same pressure at idle.I only ran mine a few hours before taking it apart to change the cab, but I had simalr readings before I did.
