    I would use that front window space, they get tall on the roof.

    M146 RV Conversion

    Rayzer - something i saw at the Overland Expo, it was designed for dividing cases for photo gear, was panels made from the same material that temp signs are made from. It's two layers separated by parallel rows(maybe an 1/8"). When you put the wire into the ground to support the sign you can...

    5th wheel pin sizes

    I've heard a lot, and did a bunch of online searching, and I'm still not sure how to determine pin size and what a plate will handle. I hear about 2 3/4", 3", and even 2 1/4". Is this the length? What about dia? How do you know what a plate will handle? Is there a way to measure the throught...

    Stripping a comm shelter

    kubotaman - the electrical panel won't do me any good it takes up a space that's 8"x22"x36". I'm mostly a DC power person (AC is often a days drive from where we are parking). Panels on the top, a good MPPT charge controller and fuse block inside. Not much space used compared to what's taken up...

    Stripping a comm shelter

    It does :) and I'm hoping to use those mounting spots to be able to have a branch pushing bars running down the sides. as well as where the lifting legs attach. Kind of an all in one sort of unit. I'm hoping to get the power & comm units removed next week (we'll see if I can get some spare...

    shelter-mounted radio sets - TRC, MRC, GRC, or VRC?

    Is there one of those in PDF that we could post up? I didn't find one when I did a quick search.

    SF 97 & Arizona DMV

    I think if it's a 1 ton pickup, and up, it's considered "Commercial"

    SF 97 & Arizona DMV

    There's not a weight fee if you explain that to them ;) I've had to do it every year so far. Maybe getting the GVW changed will help. And as far as I know you don't need Historic Insurance, that just restricts how you can use it. I did have trouble find insurance and end up w/ Progressive...

    M109

    We're running 395's (46") and come in at 11'3". We'll be about 12'8" when we put the spare on the roof (rimless)

    Stripping a comm shelter

    LOL, no. When we go over passes out here it's the high point on the road going over the mountain range. It's then down hill, around here usually the same amount give or take. So I was crossing three valleys and climbing over the mountains on the other side. All of those climbs were around 2 -...

    Stripping a comm shelter

    Thanks for that info. Thought that might be the case. I'm going to be removing things, not destroying things, just for that reason. I have even removed the cable channels from the ceiling and have kept all pieces together. Once I get everything out, and some idea of what it's all worth I'll...

    Stripping a comm shelter

    I was watching when he did that. It was the first exciting mod for removing shelters that I had seen. I am going to run some round tube down the sides, being that it won't be in the bed and it's walls will be what rubs first. Seemed right to tie that in w/ lifting legs that I can remove. It will...

    Stripping a comm shelter

    It seems to be set up for both 50-60 & 400hz, also has a 28V indicator light. So I'm guessing it puts that out as well as 120v. (picture of the outside) What about the comm unit? I'm going to take the whole unit out of the wall, so it would be complete. That will be my window.

    Stripping a comm shelter

    I was looking at the mounts for the mobilizer and thinking of a combined branch pushing bar down the sides and leg units that would use them as mount points, and then I saw this . . . http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?36199-s280-shelter-removal And I said "YES, kinda like that!"

    Stripping a comm shelter

    Rayzer, you would ask that ;) Here's the rest of the story, I finally got to pick up my 146 (that makes 7 I've acquired, 3 for Tuff's property, 3 for a friends property, and 1 for me :) Used a dolly that we had made from an old 105. This one and the two that were at my friends place...

    Stripping a comm shelter

    Just recently picked up this shelter and I'm in the process of pulling everything out so that I can use it as a live-in shelter. It's a S448 / TSC 60 (V) 1 and it still has some components. Are any of these worth anything? I'm sure the cables are, but anything else?
