    Does anyone know where I can find the tailgate strap panel

    Just curious as what does it do? Looks hinged? On older slantbacks, the straps just mounted with loops directly to gate with no plate.

    CUCV Tahoe Sour Grapes post

    Thanks for posting. The only ones I have seen "upclose" were Seabee trucks in Gulfport and were 383 green with funny insects on the doors ... ;-)

    Front passenger side electrical cable?

    Radio sincgars or harris, gps, blueforce tracker. laptop electronic gizmo all 24v hot... Impossible to say as all that is removed at demill and no real way to know what purpose the truck was used for.. I would recommend removing all of it to prevent magic smoke escaping.

    Greetings from Las Vegas

    Greetings, Just came back 2 weeks ago visiting the Red Rock Canyon Conservatory in a rental RV. Really neat area. Great Visitor Center and tour road. We even had some of that white powdery wet stuff that is unknown in New Orleans.... Welcome to the madness here :)

    Batteries.... ?

    I get his family discount as he lives with me and just would not do it with the optimas and could not find inexpensive adapters. Now I can go anywhere with an O'reilly and not be broken down. Most stores do not stock 6tl's. 24 or 24f's are stocked anywhere that handles batteries as it is a top...

    Batteries.... ?

    So I had access to a regular supply of used 6tl's for a long time :) and when those ran out I started using new O'reilly 6tl's but found they do not hold up and are not excide.... Definitely a difference in OE excide wet cell 6tl's and others copies... Last month I switched in my Hmmwv's to...

    U Ship... Non runner... all wheels... What category are People using?

    I used c.h. Robinson to get a quote. As stated terminal pick up is best. You will need weight and class for the pallet. Ditto on making sure it is well packaged.

    Any idea what this is?

    ditto on that to me. Mangled for sure and eligible for scrap. Did your truck have its driveshafts and were they installed?

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    My retirement plan is partly funded by the lead on my hmmwv rims... :) But on the other hand I have zero balance or vibration issues. Done by an old school tire guy on a Coates balancer

    Yes sir, I remember those rainbow colored packages and Superior was another brand of suspension accessories I sold along the way...

    Ironman 30mm spacers

    Interesting link. I have a base m998 and do not have a bad ride with stock tires and springs so never had the need to experiment. I used to sell these type of products in another lifetime as cheap fixes for worn out springs and typically made the ride harsher. I am leary of the material...

    Wife wants me to do the unthinkable due to the Florida DMV debacle!

    All my trailers carry maine plates. Never had a problem in over 20ish states. Intermodal and trucking fleets routinely have plates from states of convenience and lower taxes fees. My take is small trailers will never get scrutinized unless you are committing other offenses and drawing...

    Anyone seen this kind of pintle hitch before?

    Interesting as it seems to have the ibis tek tire carrier not the rhino which puts the tire more to the right. On the left appears to have had the 2 can carrier but the tray is broken off. I understand amg also had their own version of these 2. Not sure how to tell the difference. Ultra...

    ECV & REV Trucks: OEM Body Lift

    What is that hinged black panel on the outside of the tailgate for? Does the camo net go ontop of that with the 4 straps and it can be swung out of the way?
