. I have to agree. Yeah, nothing would be much higher on the COOL FACTOR scale than having your own MV where you are in some foreign country. But on the other hand - when you are for example the only tank - then YOU become THE TARGET. Everybody wants to shoot the thing that nobody else has...

. Better safe than sorry I guess... In Fredericksburg Son #2, his wife and their 6 month old are loading up the car headed to their southern Virginia in-laws since their power has been off for about 5 hours. Currently reporting power outages for 250,000 and no estimated up time.

. Yep, I was thinking I would be happy to throw down 5 large in cash. Guess it would have been 7x that money plus auction penalty...

. Those are great pictures frank8003 ! The ring that holds the outside of the boot is clearly shown there too Charlie175 . .

. rmesgt (Leo), I would suggest a gantry rather than swinging something from the building. We bought a Butler Building (Steel) and the engineering folks had to "stamp and seal" the drawings when we added air conditioning ductwork. Of course the Mecklenburg County Building Standards folks are...

. Well said Tow4 . Especially paragraph 3 - about the DOT man and potential for a big bucks mess if you exceed stated weight.

. At least the window is in the hole! Those window regulators can generally be cleaned up, greased really well. There are two circular clips that hold the window to the regulator. Those rust away over time... Might need to find new ones - or you might find the old ones in the bottom of the...

. Dang... Yessir, I do believe those boots were due for a change-out. I saw somebody here post the old adage about boats: "A Hole In The Water Into Which You Pour Money". Seems sometimes that these big green (and white and red) are the same way. Looking at those boots, your truck is a lot...

. That PFC standing at the chainfall looks like he sure loves his job...

. Hi montaillou , According to Wikipedia the Stryker weighs in at about 17,000 pounds. The Deuce may very well tow a trailer (add another few thousand pounds) with that tracked unit on it. I even found a pretty good discussion about it here @ SS. It seems that the biggest problem might be...

. Yeah, those caps would definitely knock the fuzz out of your bellybutton if you went poking around in there bare handed!

. I love it... Looks like fun to me :) Maybe we can name the dinosaurs DETA Dinosaurs Eating Tasty Animals

. Congratulations Ken! Wow... What a wonderful woman you have there. So sweet that she would do that for you. Man! That is just fantastic! I can't wait to see some pictures. Time to start a build thread... :cool:

. Had to reply to this post in particular... Everything is looking good to me! I can only assume that it is this good only because Super(visor) Dog is there keeping an eye on you :) .

. But... You won... Tiny little tap - with an adjustment tool...

. Well... I like it. Good in my opinion!

. Looks like she is coming together nicely!

. I am just fishing for ideas here but you mentioned "everything was just fine" and then it wasn't. Any particular thing that changed? Go for a spin around the block and it happened? OR maybe you went on a cross country trip, ran through a creek and now everything is "wonky" now? Ground is...

. Yes sir! On a Hi-Ranger (bucket truck) there are check valves on everything that lifts a person. Even the outriggers have checks in them so if there is a failure there that the guy in the bucket won't ride it to the ground. Maybe it is because of what it is and because buckets are...

. Lookin Good Chucky! That dark wood just makes that inside setup look really sharp. With solar panels on the roof and that custom box on the back with the "cut back" to keep from losing "approach" angle on the back is really nice.
