Make it go Woo Wooo! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Nnzw_i4YmKk

I am going to try to swing by Glen's as well if my schedule works out. If the rental place gives me a Hatchback, I may still be able to help out. I have a conference in Kansas city, then I am staying a few extra days to visit family around Newton and in Dodge city.

Will it fit in the back seat of a rental car if unboxed? I will be headed from KC to Burrton KS next Wednesday Jan 30

Easily. That ranger was built to be maintenance free to replace a gas vehicle that drove 16 miles per day doing landscape maintenance for Santa Monica they had no need for more than 35 miles. Using flooded batteries over AGM's gave 50 mile range. The Mazda Miata had a 100 mile range with...

Got a question about how I attached the Hiab to my frame, so I decided I would upload some images of the CAD model. Here is the overall lay-out of the crane chassis attached to the framerails. Framerails are in orange/pink, spacers in blue, crane chassis in black. And here are the brackets I...

THAT... Would be awesome. As others have mentioned, it is not original so it would not be a shame to cut up. I have done 6 conversions myself, (2 Rangers, 1 Miata, 1 1936 Chevy, 1 VW, and 1 Minivan) if you have any questions. Here is a video of one of the conversions...

I bought 7" Lightbulb housings from Amazon for $38 and use 24V H4 bulbs @ $8 apiece.

I am in the process of mounting my heater on the passenger side under the glovebox. Borrowing from this thread by Ridgerunner, and this post by jwentz57, I am cutting down my heater box to be about 6 inches shorter than stock. Rather than cut the original box and try to get all the cuts...

Used it this weekend to load and unload the M200A1 frame and parts to haul to scrap. I need to get better outriggers as I find I don't like messing with the manual ones. As a result, I tend to do most of my loads in and out of the back, which reduces my capacity. At the scrap yard, I...

If you look at the top picture on this page, you can see the cut line. I removed material from the front section of the bed, keeping the back fixed. This resulted in the least rework.

With 24 volts, the amperage required will be less for the same amount of power, so your explanation is invalid.

Curious how you think higher voltage has higher voltage drop.

And ta-da, the crane is mounted and operational. I really meant to take more pictures, but I was always too busy doing things to step back and take a photo. I had to move the air tanks inboard 3 inches for clearance to get the mounting bolts through. I avoided lowering them for driveshaft...

My only issue with nicad is the toxicity when it comes to disposal(be sure to properly recycle them) and the memory effect, which is why I am guessing you would prefer to do a deeper discharge. NiMH don't have these disadvantages.

Well, I was looking forward to this, but I have been in a Tennessee swamp for the last week and it looks like I won't be back until next week. I can't wait for spring.

I am headed to Western TN on work and will have an empty 1/2 ton pickup bed I can haul stuff in. Free or Very Cheap. Departing PA on Sunday Morning, Returning Friday.

They are not trying to take his rights away, he signed them away when he agreed to the HOA when he purchased the house. I am fine with him fighting on the definition of "truck". That can and should be defined. However, after signing a document stating he would not park a "truck" on the...

No turning back now...Well, not easily. I took the opportunity over the weekend to cut 3 ft out of the bed. Now I need to move the air tanks to the right about 3 inches, then fab up the brackets for the crane to mount. I used the 5 ton gantry crane at work, and it sure makes things easy. I...

Not to make you paranoid(I bet it is wet stacking too) but if you have any reason to suspect seals in your turbo, you may want to keep a board handy to suffocate the engine in case of a runaway. Note, it would have to be oil seals leaking on the inlet side to runaway....

Back to this project. Ended up selling the crane on the m105 trailer. It was simply not stable enough to use. I started cutting down the bed on the deuce today. I need to move the air tanks over a couple of inches for clearance to bolt down the crane. Clearance to the cab is going to be...
