Any way you could trailer a M998a1.....you have to ramp it yourselfWelcome from the Big Easy!
I will be at Ft. Riley on Mon. Keep that snow stuff away as this southern boy is allergic.
You're not taking the Big Rig up there ?Only weighs twice as much as my Tahoe
I've got the PCB on the way, I went ahead and ordered the plugs as well, from a guy I was on the phone with for a little tech support on the keyed ignition he makes. The wire tags were a little different than his instructions and one was labeled entirely wrong. Works now though.
I'll log into the site from my phone and try. Haven't found a way to get pics from the camera on the PC.
Cool, I'll have to look into that. Would be glad to bring it down if I can make it.
Well the last time I was asked to influence the weather I did a rain dance, but since I was at work and you have to do those in the buff it caused some problems. I had to go to a seminar and missed a couple days work... and it didn't even rain...I will be at Ft. Riley on Mon. Keep that snow stuff away as this southern boy is allergic.
I added the keylock. I just order mine from Amazon at $70. It works well. I am planning painting mine a dessert camo with black accents(black under-carriage). I joined the board right about that time. I think I am going to buy the aluminum metal roof, back and locking doors from Plan B. I am still awaiting some paperwork from GovPlanet. I have had mine inspected by some mechanics (I looked it over but what do I know). I tested capabilities and went through creeks 30" deep and climbed hills 50 degree angle and it did great. Other than my paperwork and stuff I seem to have an issue where the alternator loosens and the v-belts get some slack. So I am going to buy some new v-belts and try to be more of a man tightening the brackets hopefully that issue will be resolved.
Not sure which alternator you have but there was a known issue with the stock 60amp bracket set up. I believe the rear support was weak and would crack. There is an updated support on flea bay.
Thanks. They're not bad. Though I'm guessing they were better new. The stitching is starting to go bad in the doors, if that gives you any indication about their age.
The Military Guys. I've seen 'em referenced here, too. I don't know how many they had or anything though, he did mention they go through them pretty quick.
Looks good. I didn't want anything needing something as major as paint though. I had a project vehicle (an International Scout) I was going to do with a "friend" a while back that went south, so I targeted one that didn't show anything hinting at major work. I work in a mechanic shop and though I'm not one myself I've learned enough over the years to make a guesstimation of what I was up against. Do post it on the board when you finish your paint though. My paperwork was submitted Sept 19 and came back clear about two weeks ago; I can't remember the exact day they finished it.
Welcome from Denver, CO. Looks pretty sweet off the bat !
