Without an actual mount on hand, using existing reference photos and known thickness of the frame tubing at 1.5" OD, I would bet the sides are 2x2 in square tube: (I can't remember who HQ4 belongs to)
and the front cross piece is 2x4 rectangular tubing. (In my album this one is titled "Dan's...
Re: Your Rebuild/Reset Plate: I had new rebuild plates made for the 180 M1025A2 Ground Mobility Vehicle GMV HMMWVs that were sold off of Letterkenny Army Depot that look close to what you had on #090:
The bumper number, CS16, is likely Combat Support Company FAV16. Back in the 1980s the Infantry Divisions were organized under the H Series TO&E Table of Organization & Equipment. You would have 3 Rifle Companies then the Combat Support Company which had a Heavy Mortar Plt of 4 4.2in...
These are scanned from the Hobby Boss FAV model, good for a starting point to camouflage your FAV in either the MERDC environmental camouflage pattern used early on or the 1986 and later 3 color (Olive, Brown & Black) NATO camouflage pattern. The MERDC needs Sand splotches added or replacing...
On the radio shelf I see two box shaped objects. Bottom one is likely the RT524, the PRC77 on AM2060 the speaker is taller than the PRC77 radio, the RT524 is straight across. I see something at an angle up to the top box. To me that looks like a bungee cord is securing either the aluminum...
This one is either USAF CC Combat Controllers, (now TACP) attached to 9th HTMD, or one of the Fast Attack Bns' S-3 (Air) going by the UHF "shark fin" antenna. The Marines are smart, they have their own Air Wing, their own intrinsic Close Air Support CAS. Unlike the Marines, the Army has to...
Arming/Firing Box side of the the cable is a MS3106R14S-6S, 6 socket Connector
Pinout: (This is from the HMMWV GMV 2x4 barrel LVOSS type cable)
A=24VDC Positive B=24VDC Negative (I don't know what you should do for circuit surge protection)
Edit: Dan In NM has the best idea so far, to use the...
If you go to the UPS Store or Mailboxes Etc they charge you out the arse because their lackey has to do the work. IF you go onto OfficeMax.com, click on Services, then Print & Copies. I uploaded the TM 9-2320-280-24P-1 Vol 1, then it gives me $542.85 ($550.83 if you want it 3 hole punched)...
My calculations for the rear is 14.5" wide x 46" long
The fronts, 15.75" at the square front edge, 23.75" at the widest point where they bolt to the cargo bins, 55" long on the outside edge, 51.5" on the inside edge.
Each car is going to need approximately 17ft of 24" wide 3/8" thick conveyor...
jshull said his mud flaps are 3/8" thick.

What's the thickness of the rubber used to make the mud fenders? This company has conveyer belt that might can be recycled into FAV fenders in 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" and thicker:

I think the short answer is, there is evidence the MX-7777 was used on wheeled vehicles in some limited applications, not as a standard installation. So if you WANT to install one, to recreate a specific vehicle application or for operator convenience, then go ahead and do it. But it isn't a...
Do you have the GMV Bible yet? Special Forces Vehicle-Mounted Operations Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures ATP 3-18.14 (FM 3-05.214 September 2014 edition) Chapter 3 goes into details for the various accessories that makes a GMV, a GMV. September 2014 edition is available on Amazon of...
If anybody replicated the AM General 57K6230 Battery Cutoff Switch Kit, we worked withGreg at Dataplates.net to make the 3 instruction plates for the battery box exterior. The yellow on black battery wiring diagram plate that comes with the kit is the regular plate you see on most HMMWV that...
The M1290 InfiniD Power Distribution Box/Inverter, I did the initial research on it quoted above. Inside the 9" x 11" x 3.25" aluminum box are two of these Vicor V1-P111-EV 24VDC to 12VDC 400 watt inverters inside: VICOR VI-P111-EVV DC-DC POWER CONVERTER 24 VOLT INPUT 400 WATT CHASSIS MOUNT...
M151A2 was 2nd military wheeled vehicle I drove. I recall both the RT-524/MT-1029 as VRC-12 and PRC-77/AM-2060 VRC-64 systems in use on the M113A2 based tracks, the MX-7777 right over the Driver's left shoulder, to switch off before starting the track, the big yellow and black decal on the...
