It does have character...hahaha. It's pretty crooked err battle damaged. I got her mounted about two minutes ago. Thanks for the heads up about the rack. I was going to leave it off but you inspired me to get it mounted.
Yes sir but I had a little mishap. My truck is in pretty tight quarters that only leaves about 1.5 ft on each side of the truck to walk through. Well, I had my NOS pioneer tool rack sitting up against the fuel tank to mount it. Then I remembered something I had forgotten to do. So rather than...
Thanks for the heads up Peter. I was looking at a couple different routes to get from my home to the highway. Man they look low. Hmmm, I have a cable cutter off a Stryker vehicle, wonder if I should install it? Definitely keeping the weapon out of their mounts so they don't catch anything.
Here she is.
Today was the day I finally brought the ole girl out of her corral. Since I've had her, I have only driven her once then the project on this truck started. So she's been sitting for about 5 months now. I tell you what, she started right up with absolutely no hesitation what so...
Currahee sign? Wow!
So the day I post my intentions of dedicating my truck to the 101st Airborne Divisions 2/506th PIR, I see this story was being made.
FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. – The 101st Airborne Division is trying to save its illustrious 506th Infantry Regiment, whose origins date to World War...
Hi Bob, you know I got that nutsert tool some 20 years ago. It was included in my Neuspeed sway bar kit for my 1991 VW GTi. At one point I thought I had lost the tool. So what I did was drill the appropriate size hole. Then I gently tapped the nutsert into the hole. When it was 90% of the way...
Currahee!!!!!
Well, with the outstanding weather starting tomorrow, I will start shooting some good ole tried and true Behr paint on this project truck. While making preparations and getting some of my homemade stencils together, my son asks what unit my truck will belong to. Hmm, I...
Well, this project is nearing completion. This concludes most of the major projects but there are a few small projects left to do:
1) Winter/Cold Weather Mask Mounting Hardware install
2) MOLLE II rack behind driver seat
3) Pioneer Tool Rack
4) Paint and stencilling
LWS Safety Net
This project was simply born out of boredom. Did errands all day and came home to shoot some paint. Two miles out of the town the rain just started pouring....just my luck. I looked around the garage and thought about the upcoming PNW SS Rally in July. My son mentioned he'd have...
Ammo Can Mount and Smoke Dischargers
Today was a good day to wrap up some loose end projects. I completed my rear tow bar storage area (sorry no pics). I still need to shoot some paint on the assembly before she's good to go. I also mounted an ammo can holder on the side of the LWS. I've had it...
M240B and M249 Airsofts...wow!!!
Got my M249 today along with the scopes today. I decided to drag out the M925A1 Gun truck prop guns for a pic. I forgot the M4. Both airsofts are full metal and plastic. I am thoroughly IMPRESSED by the details and weight of each airsoft. The M249 is dead on...
LWS Aux. M240/M249 Swivel Weapon Mount
Today I added my aux. LWS weapon mount. I have seen pics of LWS type turrets on HMMWV with aux. back up weapon mounts. I figured since I have two M249/M240 swivel mounts in the garage, I might as well use one of them on this project. The great thing about...
LWS Hardtop Hatch Part II
I still need to put the latches on to lock the hatch into the closed position. I also need to repaint everything back to 383 Green.
Also, I am going to fabricate somekind of gunner's platform for the bench seat. I like to keep the seat back upright to accomodate...
LWS Hardtop Hatch Part I
I finally did it! The one project I was really apprehensive about is almost completed. There's just something inherently wrong about cutting into a perfectly good hardtop. Especially one that you've spent a ton of time to straighten out and repaint. I must have sat in...
Roof Cutout Brainstorming
With Little League in full swing and helping coach my son, this project is once again on hold. I do need to engineer something for the roof cutout on this truck. I need to make something with a plate with a cutout and a lip on the external side. I picked up a vinyl...
