    AltFuel 2nd tanks

    As long as I'm in town, count me in on the next parts run to Honduras. I never seem to find jack when I get to a salvage yard so maybe my luck will be better with you guys. As to running dual tanks at border crossings, did the Mexican cops say anything that would lead you to believe that...

    AltFuel 2nd tanks

    Charles, First, glad to see that you are back safe and hope that you had a good trip. Second, it's funny that this comes up today. After our last conversation on this topic I was under the rig this morning trying to see if I could fit a second 40 tank under the drivers side, (23 + 23...

    keep blowing fuses....

    This is just weird. Seriously, other guys with 1980 40 series rigs with the same headlight/tailight fuse blowing weirdness at the same time in different parts of the world... Three days ago I just started blowing my tail light fuse approximately 30 minutes after I turned on my headlights...

    Rear Tire Carrier

    That looks great, I really like the design. It is very similar to what I'm having fabbed up here for my rig but with two exceptions; (1) I planned to have two spares, that is one on each side and (2) I planned to have the carrier mounted from the bumper rather than into the body. Again I...

    cargo storage solutions for a 40

    I was thinking of four compartments. For the two closest to the passenger seats I had the same idea (I think) basically have one or two compartments were the doors open towards the roof of the vehicle, maybe with recessed latches. The remaining two compartments would be drawers that would slide...

    cargo storage solutions for a 40

    Alan, Thanks for posting up. It looks like you finished the plywood with something, what did you use? I found this on the web, it sounds like another riff on the same theme: Custom Tie Down Mounts - Trucks 4x4 @ Off-Road.com

    cargo storage solutions for a 40

    Guys I have been searching the forums and reading up on this topic in the Expedition build section. There are many pics, diagrams and writeups of drawer/storage solutions for 60, 80 and 100 series vehicles. However thus far I haven't been able to come up with similar threads for the 40...

    Passed my Tech and General today

    Bulldog, I am definitely interested in some of the data features but honestly, at this point I'm still trying to figure out what all of the buttons do:o. Eventually, as my understanding of both good practice and the equipment grows, I'll be very interested in fleshing out my understanding of...

    Passed my Tech and General today

    Call sign just showed up My call sign just popped up on the ULS. It is KJ4HQW. It is a mouthful so now I know that I'll be studying hard so that I can get my Extra next month. I want one of those way cool 1x2 vanity call signs which will be a lot easier to use.:grinpimp:

    Passed my Tech and General today

    Well yesterday I went over to HRO and picked up the ARRL study guide for the Extra test and the Antenna book as well. After lurking here and working the search feature two multi band mobile units kept being mentioned with really positive reviews, the Yaesu FT 8900R and the ICOM 706MKIIG. As I...

    Buying tires in South America

    This has always been my fear about buying U.S. made tires here. I feel a bit better now that the owner of the 4x4 tire store here, selling Toyo, Hankook and Maxxis, is a club member and vouches for the quality of his product.

    Thanks a lot. Im traveling/camping out in my Dad's basement for a week:D and don't have all my ham stuff with me so I have no idea on the CW requirement. I didn't see any CW on the Extra exam that I took today. I am planning on heading out tommorow to the closest HRO and get a hands on look at...

    Anybody use this dual battery setup?

    Guys, I was trying to do a comparison between the 12 volt guy package and the Hell Roaring setup and frankly got a little confused. Have any of you guys done a comparison between the two, pros and cons. That would be a big help. Thanks :cheers:
