    How do you secure your vehicle at shows? Armor hatches - Safety related

    I understand all of the concerns regarding the hatches etc on the V 100s and Ferrets. That said, when I bring my 5 ton to a show, I encourage the kids to get in it and check it out. Mind you, I don't just let them climb about willy nilly, but here's my thing: When kids go to car shows, what...

    24v battery charging through NATO port

    I bought one of those from you and it has been an absolute lifesaver between the batteries for the M715, the M923 and the M37! Awesome job bud!

    Operation: Gertrude. Kendelrios M715 restoration thread

    Today was kind of a freestyle day. I didn't have anything major planned, so I went in with the attitude of "Lemme see what I can do". I got to looking at the various lines that were disconnected and after a question here and on FB, found out I'm running an aftermarket fuel pump. I got the...
