    i think i will make an enhanced one as well. that will flange out to the door edge with notches for the hand hold, and go really close to the steering column, can put a rubber or felt edge gasket there.

    1980 m813 starting issues

    Last time we tried to rotate the engine with the breaker bar we were unsuccessful. My friend the owner thought it may be hydrolocked and he pulled the injectors and drained the oil. We will try again with the breaker bar. I lent him two of the batteries from my FMTV, hooked them up properly...

    Looking to Purchase an LMTV

    If only they could have put selectable lockers on it like they had originally intended instead of cheaping out. The LMTVs little brother, pinzgauer has selectable lockers for all the diffs!

    1980 m813 starting issues

    Been trying to turn over this thing for a while with the nh250 somebody tell me it's it a bad starter seems like the solenoid is engaging but perhaps the motor isn't trying to turn. .The oil has been drained and the injectors have been pulled we were suspecting hydrolock perhaps but I guess that...

    Double alternator

    A neighbor of mine I just met has a line on somebody who's got a bunch of those! Trying to get him to join because he has a sweet 1990 M923 and until a few days ago he's never even heard of SteelSoldiers!

    CARA has returned

    What I did on my expansible van habitat, was to sand down and clean the whole roof, wipe it with alcohol and acetone, and then coat it with Henry's tropi-cool Gray silicone roof sealant. Not a single drop of leakage after that and it keeps the roof a lot cooler. Use their silicone sealant on...

    Double alternator

    Thanks, in the victron apparently you can control the charging amperage however you want. Here is what the screen looks like for that. https://www.victronenergy.com/media/pg/VEConfigure_Manual/en/charger-settings.html

    Double alternator

    I think with all the information I have received I would rather switch to a purely 24 volt setup with the 12 volt converter at the dashboard. The question is whether to have the alternator and the solar through the victron 24 volt 3000 watt inverter charger charge the same set of batteries as...

    Double alternator

    Thank you Ron for your input! What 24 volt alternator would you suggest that not only fits well but has enough amperage to deal with the truck plus extra electronics and extra off-road lights as well as charging 4-8 house batteries in a 24 volt setup through the victron 24 volt 3000 watt...

    A1r 1079 up for auction

    Darn, if only I was in the market for it! And look at the mileage! Barely broken in!

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    You never cease to amaze me Ron! You remind me of both my grandfather. One was an army engineer then machinist at big oil, the other was a navy machinist mate and boiler maker. Neither had a mechanical problem they couldn't solve!
