Subject:      Spam and a question

Larry confessed to actually liking MRE's (one has to question his mental state) and said:

>The M-113A2 Armored Personel Carrier has a diesal heater inside that >heats up a meal in minutes.

Actually the heaters run on gasoline, as to the engines of those death traps. The fuel cell is fiberglass, attached to a relatively unarmored portion of the side wall(not that APC's are that armored 1/2" thick aluminum). Actually they had a really cool air conditioning type setup for the driver, and crew chief. If you remove the engine panels on the inside, there is enough air drawn into the engine compartment to move quite a bit of air through the two small hatches to keep you cool in 120 degree days.

Now for some ObVW:

Nobody responded to my earlier message about the lower torsion arm stops, and whether they can be moved(should I take this as a hint). I want to rais the rear of my Thing, and I do not want the torsion arms to be banging on the lower stops all the time. Can they be moved relatively easily?

Thanks,

David
