Rear Towbar/Safety Chain Storage Still catching up on my write ups. Following my M923 Project idea, I installed the same setup for my tow bar/Safety Chain storage area. I used the same components but had to locate my crossbar a little different as the M925A1 chassis was a bit different than my...

Back Up Lights/Rear Auxillary Lighting Playing catch up here. I installed my back up lights a few weeks ago. I just realized I didn't post this in the thread so here it is. I used the Aurora Armored Lights I got off SS last year. These lights have a Hi and Lo setting. I opted to just power the...

The LWS install started today. Complete write up coming;-)

LWS Support Leg Cont. One lonely pic

LWS Leg Dimensions Here are some pics for a few of you who have asked about the support legs for the LWS.

Another pallet of aluminum parts I had another pallet of aluminum and steel parts, on a pallet, follow me home last last night. Not sure which truck will get this set of parts. My M923 has a brand new hardtop from RRAD while my M925A1 has the old ratty one from whenever. Based on my...

Ahh Peter, I was just trying to turn my gravel into asphalt...didn't work;-). Hahaha, power windows...hmm, you may be onto something here;-)

Yikes!!! I had my biggest MV scare ever today!!! I spent about 4 hours wiring up my Route Clearance Lights today. I was stepping all over the engine bay trying to route my wires up and over the hood area. I was stepping all over the tranny cooler and top of the engine to accomplish this task. I...

Thanks John, I know what you mean. Bread truck...that's pretty funny. Yes, I agree there are several 2.5 ton and 5 ton bread trucks out there. Thanks for your words Marine!

Thank you. I'll have some of those angled brackets for sale sometime. I ordered way too many extra parts..haha.

I have H-161 Headsets to go with the four VIC-1 Stations I'll have set up (3 in cab and 1 in the bed). I have the LS-671's have their own purpose. One will be tied into the VIC-1 and act as a 1MC while the VIC-1 is on. The Second will be tied into a future HAM type radio (SINCGARS radio maybe?)...

LS-671 Console Completion and Fire extinguisher Mount I received my second LS-671 today to complete my overhead LS-671 Loudspeaker console. I added a couple H-250 handsets to complete the speakers. I also completed my fire extinguisher mount on the winch control console. I was surprised this...

VIC-1 C-10456 Mounting Brackets-Driver and Passenger I followed the same idea I did for my M923 project. I used a single layer piece of cardboard as my template (thanks USPS for the cardboard). I marked where the bends needed to be on the cardboard, transferred the marks into the 1/8" steel...

VIC-1 Project: AM-1780 & C-10456 Mounting Bracket I got a couple hours in today. Today I fabricated my AM-1780 and part of the C-10456 mounting brackets. Rather than going crazy on a mount, I just utilized the support structure on the hardtop. I used 2" steel stock for the mounts. I also used...

The switches are just On/Off. On my M923 project, I mounted the foot Hi/Lo pedal for the IR lights just under the dash. I made it a knee switch to go from Hi/Lo. Just an idea. I mounted the switch in an M35A2 airshift switch bracket.

Door M-4 Weapon Mounts Tonight, I completed my cab weapon mounts. Like my M923, I wanted weapon mounts on the doors. Rather than spend $100 for a M939 3 weapon mount kit from TNJM, I spent $70 for two M35A2 weapon kits off ebay (4 weapon mounts total) and fabricated my own 90 degree mount for...

I did;-) I took pics of my process and will post tomorrow. Just need metal stock, something to etch the metal (used an air cutting tool so it'll bend where you want it), benchvise, and a hammer.

Thanks Peter, so far so good. No issues with hitting the switches. I put the switches in that location so I can just simply feel for the switches and keep my eyes on the road. I thought about an overhead panel but didn't have enough wire. I've got the same type of panel on my M109A3. Haven't had...

Hey Scott, those toggles are all US military toggle switches. They are all sealed unlike the civilian toggles out there. Thanks for the heads up though.

LS-671 Console Mounted and Overhead Console Prep While I had metal shavings all over the cab from drilling, I decided to keep drilling. I mounted my LS-671 Speaker Console along with two other mounting brackets at opposite ends of the dash. My plans are to use these brackets for an overhead...
