Survival 109 build

Quadjeeper, you are really going that extra mile ! I like it !!!! I totally agree with "Ahab" . Do it right the first time and there won't be a next time !

 

[QUADJEEPER]

Ok, after much blue under breath muttering and a thrown tool or two I got the back door Yale dead bolt installed. No details will follow.

 

[Another Ahab]

Might have been a PIA (no doubt), but that installation and end product turned out good; looks great!

 

[QUADJEEPER]

If only the EPA would let us buy pairs of INIPower IntelliGen 2KW... Oh wait - they do

I'd like to be able to get one of these, but their website says for gov. contract or law enforcement only.

Don't know anyone in Law Enforcement? Time to make some friends!

That kind of hoakum is frustrating:

- What? Some kind of security risk if the hoi-polloi get their hands on it (a multi-fuel generator)?

I mean maybe there's something here that I am overlooking, but, come on, right?!

 

[tim292stro]

They probably could never make enough of them if they sold to the general public...

Maybe start your own Law Enforcement agency:

- When I was kid there was a family lived out in a BIG house by my grandparent's house out in the country (farmland then, D.C. suburb now).

- They started their own religion, claimed their house was at the juncture of powerful life forces, and said it was a sacred temple for that reason.

- Actually pulled it off with the IRS, and they were all living there as a tax-exempt organization as a result (UFB).

- They threw a killer party once a year (big bonfire and major live music) as a part of their "ritual". It was a hoot, absolutely crazy.

Maybe you could do something similar, start a "Sheriff's Auxiliary". What do you think?

That sounds complicated for getting a generator - I guess I just like having friends

I hear you:

- I always wanted one of those Model 500 Mossbergs with the 14" barrel

- But: "sold only to Law Enforcement"

Guess I got to follow your lead (if I decide I really want one), and go make some friends!

Wait a minute; plumb lost track...what was the OP here again?

I traded for a Mossberg 500 12ga. with 16" short barrel and adjustable stock. With high brass 23/4 shells it kills at both ends being so light. It kicked like a bank mule and sheared off the shell holder plastic rivets . An AR butt stock cushion and a shotgun rubber cushion now occupy the killing stock. I intend to load some varmint mixed shot with medium power for in home target practice. I say shoot one before you buy one. (I still own mine)

Good point, sleepercab; I didn't think about that. But I sure wanted one bad.

You know how it is: no real good reason; just wanted it.

Dang; I keep forgetting, WHAT was the OP here?

Ok, finally got the back door dead bolt lock squared away. Added a reinforcement plate to the inside of the door, the inner door panel sheet metal is quite thin. Considered using carriage bolts through the door for better security, but I like the clean look on the outside. Wanted to mount the lock above the handle for when I add the rear deck, but is a long reach from the ground. Maybe someday, after deck/porch is in place. Also cut off the padlock tang from the outside handle so someone cannot lock me in.

I am going to copy this.

Go for it, no patent.

Now THAT is thinking ahead; brilliant:

Hey, I'm planning on going to the Georgia Rally next year, some of those guys might want to lock me in!

True that Frank. I have off two weeks at the end of the year. Planning on overhauling the master and two airpacks you sold me so I can get the dual circuit system installed.

 

[RAYZER]

Looks good Scott!
I like the plate, is the bolt square on the end or tapered?
