    Battery Size needed for Frankencab M923

    I finally went with four 6TL wet cell batteries from O’Reilly Auto Parts. They have 750 CCA each, and weigh 73 lbs. apiece. Price was $203 each, then a 10% military discount. The two 6T AGM batteries I found were $499 and $799 each. The 6TLs were an absolute perfect fit in the original...

    Battery Size needed for Frankencab M923

    I'd appreciate it Russ. Did you use 4 car sized, or two large ones? I'd like to keep them in the regular battery boxes. If they get pulled out, there is more room. Cheers!

    Battery Size needed for Frankencab M923

    Hi Guys, I need to swap out the four sealed, fairly small, Hawker 12 volt starting batteries on my 1990 BMY M923A2 ROPS Frankencab. These are mounted in two removeable battery boxes in an outside compartment on the passenger side of the truck. They are an unusual size, slightly lower than...

    LED Auxiliary Install

    Russ, I don’t have any photos handy, as I am currently sitting on an airplane, but I mounted one of the 6 HID/2 infrared lights light bars built for the Humvees. It worked perfectly on my Frankencab M923. It lights up the world! Cheers!

    Cab Comparisons

    My M923A2 Frankencab is immensely quieter than my former 923/25 with the soft top. These come with 1" foam insulation over most of the interior. The fabric covering the foam is falling off, so I am in the tedious process of replacing the foam with new bought from an internet truck sound...

    back-up camera

    I put a 24 volt camera system on my 5 ton from rearviewsafety.com. The system is great, highly recommend it. I started with one backup camera and their 7" monitor. Have since added a right side camera that can spot a small car in the blind spot. If it were not for my buddy riding shotgun in...

    Locking fuel cap

    I'm quite happy with the cap from Those Military Guys. You need to keep the key inserted and rotated, retracting the locking pawl as you unscrew the cap.

    Addition of 1 Ton Bed Crane

    I just installed one of the galvanized ones in the right rear of my 923A2 like everybody else. Used two pieces of heavy 2" steel angle, notched to fit. They will be welded to the bed frame, and the nuts will be welded, so that the entire crane can be removed, leaving a flush cargo bed. Also...
