    tell me about the MEP-501A

    Whew! Finally got one generator to fire off today. Took some time to bleed the fuel lines. Boy when she finally fired off, I thought there was an issue. There was nothing but a blinding white fog of diesel smoke that filled my area. It took her about 1 minute to go to a smooth idle. Once she was...

    PNW Info Thread!

    Not sure the reason, but I do remember there was an issue with the Army wanting their yard and part of the warehouse back from GL. That was about 4 years ago. It may be coming to fruition now, not sure. If I hear anything different, I'm hoping anyways, I'll let you know. GL said they had some 35...

    tell me about the MEP-501A

    I was surprised how cheap they went for. While I was there I noticed the gov't fuel draining method. They cut all the fuel lines on these gennies!! Oh well, probably a good idea to replace the lines anyways. Was looking forward to firing them off when I got home. Looks like I'll have to do a...

    PNW Info Thread!

    Just got back from JBLM. Spoke to a couple GL workers. I inquired about the lack of trucks, trailers etc. They said they lost their "Rolling Stock" contract. They confirmed that indeed all the rolling items (Military Vehicles, trailers, dollies etc) are being shipped to Fontana, CA. They stated...

    tell me about the MEP-501A

    Well, just got back from JBLM with two of these generators. I don't see any reason why a guy cannot use them to jump a truck. I'm going to try them for that purpose;-)

    WSUCougarx's M101A2 Build

    She has fiberglass sideboards. The owner threw in a new military metal 5 gallon fuel can and mount because the tabs were expired on her. I'm glad they didn't renew the tabs because they had the large license plate mounted on her. Today I went down and transferred the title. In the process I got...

    WSUCougarx's M101A2 Build

    You got that one right Zy. I've used these little trailers so many times. I couldn't pass up the deal I got on this trailer. It's not quite as nice as the one I bought from you but it's complete. She even came with new sideboards and new cover. Hey Harold, been pouring the rain today. Didn't...

    PNW Info Thread!

    Not sure. My schedule is booked for the next few months. Between work, church, softball, and little league, not sure when I'll have a chance to do anything other than the mentioned items. Man, where did time go? Some day I'll find it somewhere...haha.

    WSUCougarx's M101A2 Build

    Well, this project didn't really take off. Rather, I had other projects come up. Well, something strange happened last night to me. I drove about 20 miles from my home in the dark pouring PNW rain to Hoquiam. On my way home I could make out a dark image in my rearview mirror. I tried to make it...

    Loudspeaker Control Unit: LS-671/VRC Question

    They are intended for the SINCGARS family of radios. I have mine hooked up through the VIC-1 with no issues. I've got the LS-671 cable coming out of a VIC-1 Control box.

    WSUCougar's M925A1 Acquisition and Build Thread

    I would go 3/4-1 inch. My plate still nicks the LWS crossbar when I swing port side.
