Hi Al, the way the ladder is configured I would not be able to mount it on the outside of the tailgate. The ribbings on the tailgate would impedes it's mounting. However, if you installed some spacers then you could mount that way. Right now, I use the towbar storage L brackets as a step to get...

MTVR Tailgate Ladder Project Not sure if it's my age or my truck is getting taller, but it is getting more and more challenging getting into the bed of the truck. I had a USMC MTVR 7 ton truck tailgate ladder I bought off ebay for $40 last year. Today, I decided to get her installed to ease my...

Ive seen references to the TOW missle but not sure exactly what for. Now that I've got the LWS mounted and ready to go. I am now looking for an M2 or an M3 .50 cal replica of some sort. Definitely no resins for me. I'm after an all metal authentic looking replica. More about that later. Found...

Lollipop Front Turn Signal Project Today I also took care of the "Lollipop" lights. This project was more or less for safety. As all you know, the M939 series truck has a huge blind spot. I felt it was necessary to add these lights to warn cars in my blindspot more than anything else. The front...

Mudflap Fuel/Water Can Mounts Today I took care of a couple odd and ends projects. I finally got around to mounting my fuel/water can mounts on the rear mudflaps. This is something I have done to all my trucks, so it was time. There was nothing special about this project. The lower two mounting...

LWS Additions (Armor Plate, MK64) Part II More pics of the 40 mike mike ammo tray added to the MK64. I haven't located a replica weapon for this setup yet. Naturally an M2HB comes to mind but may end up putting an M240B Airsoft up there. I still need to locate an M240B/M249 MK64 adapter if I...

LWS Additions (Armor Plate, MK64) I had a little time yesterday before my son's Little League game and today to add some parts to the LWS. Yesterday, I managed to muscle that 100+ lb armor plate to the LWS. That was something else to get up there. I got her up onto the fender and then did a...

New Cargo Cover Kit Install Before I won this truck, I was after a RRAD M925A1 soft top truck w/out a cargo cover. In anticipation of this win, I was bidding on a lot of two M939 series cargo cover kits at JBLM. Well, I lost out on the auction only to find I lost to a fellow SS over in New...

Cargo Bed VIC-1 Stations Today I added my usual cargo bed VIC-1 station in the bed of my 925. You will notice I used two C-10456 control boxes. The one towards the headache rack will be used for an LS-454 Loudspeaker. From there, I piggy backed it to the rear VIC-1 station where there will be...

Hahaha now that I'm sitting here looking at the pics, I am now wondering how it worked. I had a cargo strap pulling the whole contraption against the headache rack to keep it from falling back. That weapon tray is really really heavy. Though heavy, you can use that weight to your advantage by...

Lightweight Weapon Station Install Part VI (LWS Mounting) Now that the LWS plate is resting the crossbars, we can loosely mount the seven u-bolts (3 in the rear and 4 up front) that will hold this thing in place. Those tabs on the crossbar I mentioned earlier will now be used. Make sure both...

Lightweight Weapon Station Install Part V (Physics Cont.) Now the heaving really begins!!! At this point, everything is in place and ready just brute force. While I was pushing this LWS up the 2x4's I had lineman drill flash backs where you do hand thrusts into the opponents chest. Once you get...

Lightweight Weapon Station Install Part IV (Physics) Ok, so here I am. I've got all the cab brackets and leg supports ready to go. I've taken all my measurements and everything looks great. But there's just one small problem. The 300-400 lb pallet of LWS is sitting in the back of the M925...

Lightweight Weapon Station Install Part III (Support Leg LWS Crossbar Install) This step is probably the most critical part of the install. So pay attention! Upto this point, it has been pretty straightforward. Now is where you really need to plan ahead and get everything ready for the LWS. In...

Lightweight Weapon Station Install Part II (Passenger Side Cab Brackets) Next order of business was tackling the passenger side cab bracket. This install was pretty straightforward. The bolts for the cab bracket are already installed. You just need to remove them, install your bracket, and...

Lightweight Weapon Station Install Part I (Driver Side Cab Brackets) Yesterday I began the arduous task of installing the LWS. Though I didn't have all the parts for the cab brackets, I went forth to get this thing installed. I found the installation instructions to be non-existent. I search...
