Hey badlatitude!! welcome from 9* North! Dude, these guys are ENABLERS!!! Get out while you still have money in your wallet!!! Rick

I've had Conti, Michelin and Fulda MPT tires on various vehicles and none of them have failed like that. I assume the tries have a speed rating that is higher than the A3 can achieve, and you guys are on top of maintaining the pressures, so it must be tire age then? Rick

Cheers raeme are you a speed reader or didga cheat a bit? Rick

My first answer is that I don't have an answer to your question. My second answer is that I have a tool made by ARB of Australia. It's an air bag about 28" in diameter and 2" thick deflated that will lift the weight of a car with very little pressure. It's designed for situations where your...

Wow, those camo colors work well for the grassland area! I can see why you picked them! Pic #5 seems to highlight the tan color. Is it of a higher sheen? Rick

Bumping this wonderful thread for freshness. Kenny did it at least once, why can't I? Rick

Awesome photos and planning! The truck and wanna-be pilot look great! Keep us up to date on your build! Rick

I saw a little extra cable in the photo. He should be able to open the window for a little flow through ventilation! Congrats and enjoy your new gauge! Rick

Which one? The fasteners or the meetings? Rick

In the spirit and inflection of Spicoli out of "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" "I Know this dude!!!" Rick

I believe it is a reservoir for vacuum. Under full throttle the engine does not produce vacuum and anything on the vehicle that operates using vacuum (heater/A/C controls) will go to their default mode. I recommend keeping it in the system, or replace it if it does not hold vacuum. Oh, and...

Glen, thank you for sharing this experience! Rick

Well said Clinto, I appreciate the clear vision of what this site is. Rick

Sounds to me like the dealer has all the gold. And he who has all the gold.... Have you considered purchasing these trucks in bulk? Prices are on a steep rise. You will have a worthy return the next few years, probably in excess of investing in the stock market. Plus your investment will be in...

I know you are looking for surplus, but I remember Interstate Batteries had a tremendous catalog. Maybe there is a battery manufacturer near you who can bid on your optimal configuration, or has a on-the-shelf battery that you can adapt to suit your needs. Utilizing end of life products...
