I will be attending the Idaho Military Vehicle Preservation Association (MVPA) Military Vehicle Show and Swap meet and I have reserved a 20'x40' vendor space. The show is scheduled to run Saturday, June 24th through Sunday, June 25th, 2017 and will be held at the High Desert Harley-Davidson...

So no ESD controls & surfaces in your working environment? :razz: Does your converter box have any mounting tabs or holes? How is it expected to be secured?

I mounted two 24" Ibis Tek light bars, but I'm still working on the wiring: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?125231-Ibis-Tek-Light-Bar-Install&p=2018848&viewfull=1#post2018848

Connector list that matches the factory Ibis Tek wiring harness, at least for my 66" one: Power Plug: Male plug: Delphi, P/N: 12129939-B Automotive Connectors CON MP 630 2W FEM http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=12129939-Bvirtualkey63000000virtualkey829-12129939-B Female pins...

Mounted, but not wired (yet). Also pictured here is the one bolt on each side that was on the outside of the bed. I might need to mask the light again and paint a bit of black on its face to match the bed's camouflage pattern. Wiring sure is a time consuming devil. I decided not to cut...

I've been working at adding two 24" light bars to the truck, one above the fuel tank on the passenger side, and the other by the pioneer tool rack. Both will use the front mud flap in those locations as a mounting point, with a very simple fabricated bracket on the other sides to bolt to the...

When adding a picture I've previously upload to the site to a new post I wish I could jump to a different or specific page or date. I currently have 25 pages of attachments (I actually really DO like how I can see all my previous attachments) but I and can only go through them one page of 100 at...

That's sure going to be a lot of connections and fittings to leak test! hehe

Hello Edward42, and welcome welcome! Everything that SCSG-G4 is correct. Just because the radio is hooked up to a power source capable of delivering higher amperage to the radio doesn't mean the radio WILL draw more. The fuse is protecting the radio and will blow if the amperage or the...

I remounted the Pioneer Tool Rack and one of the new air filters. It's a tighter fit than expected to get the shovel out, so a little bit of care is needed but it is still readily doable. Before finalizing the wiring to the compressors, I'm actually finally going to mount the two 24" Ibis...

From my reading, the first thing I'd check would be the park brake. One of the several springs could have broken and then the park brake would be dragging, robbing you of power, not to mention creating a lot of heat and damaging itself. The next is: Checking/changing fuel filters Crud in the...

Exactly! Though the bit of weld spatter did tend to burn my wood topped work bench. :P orren, Jericho is right. If the batteries are not sufficiently secured, a big bump (or even a crash) can send them flying. It is like putting a 9V battery in your pocket with your keys - it'll short and can...

Now to more current events: 2017: May 17, 2017: I replaced the crank case breather (aka "Slobber Tube") with a longer one. The original was 10-1/2" long, 1-1/4" inside diameter, and was cracked all over from age/deterioration. The new one is 24" long and cost $25.60 at O'Reilly's ($11.99...

In 2013 I replaced my failed, stock 6TL batteries with a pair of Group 31 batteries from NAPA P/N: 7235. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?124577-Electric-problem&p=1551667&viewfull=1#post1551667 For over 3 and 1/2 years I used a single ratchet strap to hold down the batteries. This...

2016: In November 2015 I encountered, what I considered, a screaming deal on a complete M66 gun ring on eBay. I knew my truck used to have a gun ring, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity. I was the only bidder at the opening price of $1250. Even with Rounder's Logistics handling the shipping...

I found this very helpful, thank you. I wanted to know where this was. While many, many TMs are available here on Steel Soldiers, they are completely lacking in organization and it's difficult to know which ones will have what you need. Some of the TM titles are helpful and you know you can...

I took the second Pololu board and soldered on the VIN and VOUT block terminals and the push button switch wires. I wish it had been designed for larger wires for the control switch. I then coated both sides of the board in the sealant I purchased earlier. I then zip-tied and super-glued the...

Unfortunately no. I acquired the parts with great gusto, but since the creation of this thread I've been stuck on my typical indecision of weighing the pluses and minuses now that I have all the factors in front of me. Basically my internal debate is: Do I really want that large of a vise on...

I'd be interested in one for a VIC-1.

I also wanted to report, that after two days and one press of the brake pedal, the truck still registered 60 PSI in the system. :)
