    68' M715 AKA "Smokey", 8.1 engine on links, coils and 40's

    Yeah, he is my buddy. This reminds me: I passed a guy on base once at Eielson, in Fairbanks. He was driving very slowly and the roads were bad with snow. I passed safely, in a passing lane, and went about my business--went to NAPA in North Pole. While I was in there he showed up, too, and said...

    68' M715 AKA "Smokey", 8.1 engine on links, coils and 40's

    Man, I just got here today. I thought you were joking, genuinely, so I put the DJ up in good fun. I have 10 posts in 10 years on Mud, despite owning a Cruiser for two decades. I just like to see what people are doing. Now I think we are doing something interesting/of use, so we posted it up. I'm...

    Oh, I actually thought you were joking around! You are mad we are posting a pretty complex build on here? Ross has a presence on Mud because he has two built Cruisers and a clean little mini truck. That's a Toyota-specific site, but he had a presence there, so we rolled with it. After a while we...

    I posted my first post less than 24 hours ago, and already got a bit of light-hearted feedback on my posting habits, so here I am to say "hello." I am from Washington but am stationed with the Air Force up in Anchorage--it's a great place. I have been with the Air Force for 22 years and still...

    68' M715 AKA "Smokey", 8.1 engine on links, coils and 40's

    Well...to be fair. I have only ever posted two posts, total, and all within 24 hours, so--OverlanderJK--I guess what I would like to know is: Rock40, you do realize there are other threads than just this one right? I mean, you have only posted in this thread. Are you trying to be a part of...

    68' M715 AKA "Smokey", 8.1 engine on links, coils and 40's

    Absolutely. Ross and I talk about all aspects of this build, almost daily, but every time I mention the comm stuff he responds with something like "yeah, I don't know--I just weld metal; send me stuff and I will try to fit it in the build," so he can certainly relate. That's why he had me chime...

    68' M715 AKA "Smokey", 8.1 engine on links, coils and 40's

    I will hop in here to talk about the radios we are using for this build. We have a Kenwood TK-790H, VHF (for 2-meter Ham and also all of PCI's frequencies), and a Kenwood TK-890H, UHF. GMRS is in the UHF band but this radio is NOT FCC-certified for use in GMRS, so we won't be using it for that...
