Reminds me of our desert trip in 2000 with my Dad and son searching for the remains of a F-117 Stealth Fighter 40 miles south of Gallup, NM. Not much left except for small connectors, brackets etc. God I miss the Nevada desert.... :( Thanks for the report and great pics! Al

I've got a copy of A-A-52550 which is the CID spec for the 18K, 40K and 100K pintle assembly hitches. Unfortunately, the inside diameter of the pintle is controlled by other specs, specifically international standardization agreement ASCC AIR STD 11/8, QSTAG 264, and STANAG 4101. This CID also...

I didn't see it: what did you do about the rear axle, just leave it intact? Does it harm the diff to have it turning while driving etc.? Good job on the trailer! Al

I took my test on a Saturday and received my call sign the following Tuesday (Dec. '03). Good luck. Al

If you understand the need to cull animals - then you should understand about killing pests, which is what a jack rabbit is. No different than killing hogs in Texas or Alabama - DNR in both states will tell you to kill all the hogs you want, take the meat or leave it, your choice. It's pretty...

That's my expert Jack Rabbit Killer with my AR-15 Carbine. He got about 23-24 jackrabbits that summer trip, including one Felony jack rabbit. He stole his first gun from me when he was 6 (my Ruger 10-22), and his second shortly thereafter (Ruger .22 auto). After that, I wised up - he's been...

Ok, good to know. And another reason to buy Odyssey/Platinum Diehards vs Optimas. I'm no longer a fan of Optimas having lost two in the last two years.

#1 reason my wife doesn't join my son and I on our (usually) biyearly summer desert trips: No Walmarts out here.

Don't connect a winch to the side terminals, it's not a internet rumor - I've seen pictures of at least two fried batteries due to this. Also, look at the FAQ section for Optima, they'll tell you the same thing.

Upgrade the alternator and then you won't have to worry about it anymore. High quality and high power (140 amps) alternators are available for $160 or so from Summit Racing. These are the Powermaster alternators that are GM-sytle and 10si sized. Here's a good example...

My ghetto version: about $2 from the local Lowe's:

Based on this thread: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=49312&highlight=bead I built one of these last weekend. Took me about an hour, not counting the oven time to get it to 500 degrees so I could paint it. The base is out of 3/8" plate, the bead plate is 1/4" x 2" bent...

ASTM F852, Standard Specification for Portable Gasoline Containers for Consumer Use, 4 Requirements; 4.1 Color: The container shall be predominately red in color. Pigments, coatings, or other means used to impart color shall not be affected by gasoline. ASTM F976, Standard Specification for...

ASTM specs for portable fuel containers determine color for fuel cans, not USDOT regs - that's why the US Mil can have any color they want for fuel containers. There may be individual state DOT requirements as well, but that's a patchwork. I'll see if I can dig up the ASTM spec number(s) at...

Front hitch receiver with a spare tire carrier coming straight up. Keep it about 4-6" in front of the grill and as low as possible. Do you have a way to accurately read engine oil and coolant temps (i.e. NOT the OEM temp gauges but aftermarket or Scangauge II etc)? Good luck. Al

Metric 10.9 is equivalent, strength-wise, to SAE Grade 8.
