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.
if i fabricate, weld, and powder coat a batch of driver side kick panels from mild steel with the vent tube flange, who would be interested? would be smaller price then what you can find the passenger side kick panels typically for. would you prefer un-coated? PM me if interested, so i can...
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...
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!
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...
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!
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...
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
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...
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...
A new friend of mine who's not on this forum yet, who I just met, has a 1990 rebuilt M923 with a soft top but wants a hardtop. Anybody have one available? He's also looking for the passenger side aux fuel tank.

Thanks.
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!
