My springs (shocks actually) inside the air bags were okay. Those were also not available by themselves, so I was happy when we took it apart and found the springs were still good. And of course, when the government spends money, it's not always because it makes sense LOL.

Just to throw in my 2 cents. I just replaced the driver side airbag. Keep in mind, even though they are different sides, the airbag itself is the same either way. Colt has a great install video on his YouTube channel replacing his. I used the powerpacker airbags that General Disorder listed...

I have not done one myself, but when I was researching prior to my truck arriving, I found several places that have kits for rebuilding the hand pump. That place that starts with an e and ends with a y had some. I think if memory serves me its 3-4 O-rings, one of which I think is cupped and may...

Looks like a fabulous job and as if done at the factory. One question, where did you source all of the extra switches. They look identical to the factory switches. Only place I could find them was overseas and shipping did not make it conducive to a reasonable purchase.

Can't wait for an update (with pics please)

A visor replacment stickers here: New Visor Decal - Hillbilly Wizard

Gonna do the parade of lights next weekend and all of the lights I ordered arrived today so why not get them on the truck. Santa will ride in the back and will be lowered to the ground in my crane. We are working on a chair for the crane this weekend. Should be a blast. I will post pictures...

Okay...I went to my FB page and made it viewable for everyone. If that doesnt work, Youtube it is Facebook

Works now. Facebook

So the burning question now is this. Do I try and find someone with a tan top who needs a camo top and trade? Or do I paint the truck to match the top?

Having issues with uploading a video

So here is a picture of the airbag I used, and the airbag installed and inflated. Trying to upload a video as well.

I will get some today!

Drove to Herlong and picked up my new to me, never issued cargo cover kit. Tried to get it installed when we got home, but too dark for pictures. I will post some tomorrow

How did the cargo cover installation turn out? Some pictures of the final product would be great!!

wow....I can see now how it has some uses in the automotive side, especially where wire passes through clamps or metal holes (like a firewall). I guess I will need to put some of this up for sale as I have more than a lifetimes supply.

LED headlamps can be tricky as the +/- has to be put on correctly or they will not function properly. I would use a voltmeter to identify the +/- leads. Don't assume the military numbers are correctly labeled. When I changed to LED on my M1078 I had some issues just like you describe. I was...

Thats an impressively restored/preserved beauty

Today I dragged out the O-ring boxes and found three for the actuator valve. Replaced them and reinserted the valve. Fired up the truck to refill the air tanks and gave the cab air bag actuator a push and turn. Air bags filled. Checked the breather valve on the back......no more air leaks...
