So I had a guy claiming he was seriously interested in purchasing my truck. I knew it needed batteries and have hesitated spending the money and also determined that the starter was on its way out. After he stressed to me how interested he was in the truck, I proceeded to put a new $300.00...
Installed a solargizer on it today. Put one on my other 5 Ton a year ago and the batteries seem to be keeping their charge. The truck I installed it on today is always dead. Hope it works as I cannot afford batteries.
International

Plow
I am a Snowbear dealer in MI. Light weight, about 200Lbs. I put one on my blazer and several other vehicles. They are simple to install and perfect if your not looking to do commercial plowing. Good for your driveway and a neighbor or a parking lot.

I had them on my M887 in Saudi and just trimmed the bottom corners of the fenders and never had a problem. I recently put them on my ambulance with a 4" lift and it feels good going down the road but the front clip shakes pretty good at 55MPH.
Progress
Washed it and started painting some clear coat over the faded paint. For what it is it's looking like a new truck compared to when I first picked it up. I also sand blasted and painted the cab guard. Detailed some things with black gloss paint and applied non-skid paint to the deck...
I saw this in my travels and had to take a picture. I work on truck mounted man lifts for a living and had never seen one mounted on a HMMWV. I was told there were 12 built. We actually did an inspection on it for the guy and it appeared to be put on by the boom MFG. At first sight I thought...
