    War pics questions

    Yes, thanks from me too. I'm glad this was posted. My HMMWV is near identical to the 2nd one. No doors, desert tan, etc. I may add the cargo netting (my stuff has often fallen out) and a canvas top I can roll down the sides (like in the photo). When I got my vehicle the floor was covered in...

    Sounds like what I'd been hearing. Keep us posted and best of luck with this.

    The 2nd vehicle appears to have no windshield wipers or glass, was that standard? I see them coming out of GP that way.

    MEP-803A inside an S-280 Shelter

    Getting the doors open works, getting past an open door won't. My current outdoor setup (up against a a shed) is tighter than that and I make it. Like you said, not much maintenance required.

    MEP-803A inside an S-280 Shelter

    Awesome, thanks. The hole that's already in the ceiling may be perfect for an exhaust duct.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Tach mount looks great. Nice work in the space of the battery box. Did you step down voltage to the rear seat 12v, connect it to one battery, or other?

    Show us your Military Trailers

    I never did post this one. It's a Gichner small arms rifle trailer. Wife refers to it as the Hot Dog trailer due to the opening middle window.

    MEP-803A inside an S-280 Shelter

    Got to spend some time planning this weekend. I think movement will be good, especially if I apply your quick release technique to the side doors. Ventilation is going to require some testing. Front door is vented but not sure how much air will flow. Rear windows offer plenty and I'll likely add...

    That looks more fun than cleaning up rats nests. :)

    MEP-803A inside an S-280 Shelter

    After spring cleaning my 803a and finding varmint nests (and recent rain after cleaning) I've began the process of moving it indoors. I was going to build a structure but I have a spare S-280 Shelter that I think may be a perfect fit. I'm seeking thoughts as to why this is (or isn't) a good...

    Airless Sprayer- Graco vs...

    That S-280 shelter looks great, I'll be painting one this summer and will show before and afters. I've gone Harbor Freight for nearly all my sprayers, there's newer (more expensive) models now but have not tried them. I painted several shelters and shipping containers using the KRAUSE & BECKER...

    Vehicle is looking awesome and I'm really getting jealous of the shop setup.

    Congratulations! Plan on not getting any sleep until it arrives. :)

    M1028A3 new project

    I just absolutely love the view of the front grille, what a great looking vehicle.

    Just another hmmwv build thread.

    Looking good, worth taking the time to clean, nice feeling when you're done.

    Appears to be a few at Yermo waiting for demil

    They look cool and I have a practical use (for me) so I took photos as well on previous visits. Since I didn't think they'd be available as is, I'm thinking to fabricate something I could make useful (deer/hog blind) using plywood and lexan. Hog hunting in a HMMWV just seems to good to pass up.

    HD 765 U 120 or 208 Volt Space Heater

    I was kind of surprised they are 14 gauge wire. When I get it back out I'll post close ups along with part numbers for the connectors and a wiring diagram for plug and thermostat.

    That looks like it's going to be a great project.
