    Data Plates Arrived

    I just ordered my M35A2 W/W data plate from them and it is even marked as Kaiser-Jeep. Perfect! $6 less than David Kelone. I hope he buys a nice steak dinner with the $31 I sent to him and he gets the worst diarrhea ever! I would open a dispute in paypal but I didn't send it as a payment for...

    Secondary Fuel Tank

    I'll be working on it this coming weekend hopefully. Pictures and instructions will follow. I have a master cylinder and air pack to rebuild and install first. What good are dual fuel tanks if you can't stop?

    Recovery next weekend...

    I played with firewood fire a short time and I never could get it to work out financially to make it worthwhile. Keep in mind, unless you have a locker in the differential, you need to tie your rope or cable to both tires on the same axle to pull yourself out using the methods mentioned...

    Recovery next weekend...

    I think you'll be disappointed logging in the mud, ice, and water with NDT tires. You better get a winch for that truck while you're there!

    Secondary Fuel Tank

    I thought the fuse blew at a given amperage because of internal resistance, which would then fall under V=IR, but I'm a mechanical engineer, far from an electrical! Edit: not that I didn't believe you, but more evidence to support you here: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/wfc2.htm I also...

    Our First MV's Recovered - Now on to Maintenance & Updates

    I didn't read the manual until after I got my truck home either. It would of been nice knowing how to use the wipers.

    Road Trip, Deuce Parts

    I hope the motor and transmission found a home. I took the air shift transfer case, fuel tank, air pack, master cylinder and some other odds and ends. Seeing that frame bent like that was scary! The M35 is not indestructible!

    And the project begins

    Looking good! Did you take any more pictures from the side or rear with the dual tires singled and dished out? I was thinking about doing the same to my truck for a quick and dirty way to increase fuel mileage and drive-abiliy, yet keep the most width.

    Secondary Fuel Tank

    ^That is along the lines of what I was thinking about doing originally, and has been done, but when I started pricing parts and thinking about it, I'm just going to keep it simple. If I was running two different fuels and needed the separate plumbing then I would go that way but I run the same...

    Data Plates Arrived

    I ordered and paid for a M35A2 W/W data plate back in Oct I think from David Kelone. I'm ready to go somewhere else.

    Road Trip, Deuce Parts

    I was down and got some parts from Jake 2 weeks ago. He is a good guy. I'm looking for an indicator light assembly if you have an extra. I want to make a low air warning light.

    Secondary Fuel Tank

    When I take power from the batteries, I like to put a fuse within the first few inches of wire, that way if the wire somehow gets pinched or rubbed through somewhere in route to the dash switch and then the pump, it won't weld itself to something and kill my batteries. Just a little extra...

    Secondary Fuel Tank

    Thanks guys, but I'll be doing this simple and cheap so I can get the truck ready for some trips. Quick question: If I'm going to use an inline fuse meant for 12 volt, can I simply assume the rated amperage of the fuse to be "halved" or "doubled"? I was trying to figure it out from V=IR but...

    Our First MV's Recovered - Now on to Maintenance & Updates

    I put an air chuck on the valve under the passenger side of the dash as discussed above and I have an air chuck in a "T" fitting I installed on the passenger side glad hand pipe. I would suggest keeping the glad hands. You never know when you're going to drag home an M105A2 on a whim when you...

    Secondary Fuel Tank

    Good call on the vent line. I believe it just uses 3/16" brake line?

    Secondary Fuel Tank

    I'm installing a secondary stock fuel tank on the driver side where the spare tire was. I picked up a complete tank with sending unit and pump. I did some research and I read it is a pain to plumb the tanks to the same line, and it is easier to pump fuel from the secondary into the main tank...

    Our First MV's Recovered - Now on to Maintenance & Updates

    I haven't put the cover on since I had it shortened, but I would hope it doesn't leak since the place that does it are experts in making water tight covers for boat storage. I have a 3 piece, older style cargo cover for my truck. One front piece, one back, and a top/sides piece. The top/sides...

    Our First MV's Recovered - Now on to Maintenance & Updates

    Bracket above the tire is for pioneer tools: axe, shovel, pick. I removed mine, put the spare tire in the bed, and I'm working on mounting a 2nd fuel tank right now. I also have an M36A2 cargo cover, and I found a boat cover shop that shortened it to M35A2 length (14 ft) for $43! With the...
