    MAXXPRO MRAP Rear Door Ramp Maintenance Help needed.

    Well the problem we discovered is that the solenoids probably arent' the problem but that the motor which is the item shown on top of the reservoir in the picture is actually missing. So we are on the hunt for that item now.

    MAXXPRO MRAP Rear Door Ramp Maintenance Help needed.

    So we have narrowed down the issue with our MRAP's rear door ramp no opening using the switches down to the (2) two solenoids attached on the manual override valve. I have the two new solenoids but the problem we have now is that none of the seven technical manuals I have so how to remove the...

    Need help identifying a few MRAP parts.

    Not sure on the brakes as we have a Maxxpro, but the "things" according to our manual I believe are stretcher mounts for casevac. We took ours out since they got in the way of our plans for the vehicle and we are installing a bench/stage compartment on one side which can double as a stretcher mount.

    Painting a MAXXPRO MRAP

    Thank for the info. I hope that the CARC on it is the water based but I don't hold out much hope (2008 model vehicle), but I do have respirators/filters lined up already. I have had (3) M1009's of my own I have had to do bodywork/paint on and know how nasty that stuff is.

    Painting a MAXXPRO MRAP

    So as long as the surface is lightly sanded the paint will stick no problem? Also do you happen to know what code/trade name would be the best base for a matte finish. Thanks in advance.

    Painting a MAXXPRO MRAP

    So I am about to paint our new MAXXPRO. It is currently in tan obviously. After sanding and rust clean-up, do I need to shoot a coat of primer before we do the Behr paint final coat? Also what would be the best base/color code for a matte black coat. Thanks in advance.

    Headlight problem with our Peacekeeper

    Peacekeeper at our department has an issue with it's headlights. They will work about half the time, then will go out and maybe come back on later. The weird thing is that some days they work great and other times not so much. Additionally when the lights go out, all of the other lights still...

    More likely the police department didn't like the camo while THEY used it. :roll:

    Gen 1 light coming on

    Just replaced my alternator for doing the same thing last weekend. Started it that morning, went to police training, started it up again after training to jump off a police car that had a dead battery and the Gen 1 light was dim. By the time I got home it was bright red. Replaced it with an...

    CUCV Work Light

    Very cool. I am about to install a ticket light out of one of my department's wrecked cars. Goes white or red. The white light is a bulb, the red are small LED's. I need to install a work light of some kind like yours also.

    +1 for Ft. Campbell

    Not a member of MVPA. But now that I know the name I can look it up. I just finished up redoing the CUCV so that might be a nice vehicle to run in the parade for Veteran's Day.

    Side rail question, what do I have?

    Any idea on a honest price for what they sell for?

    +1 for Ft. Campbell

    I am not aware of a MV club in the Nashville area. I know several SS members are in the area. I would love to get a duece from FTCKY but the spouse has said no for the time being. Guess I will have to settle for the M1009 for the time being.
