    M1101 lug nuts

    The oe are just open face conical seat if you are using the factory plain steel wheels. If using oe gm factory alum or chrome wheels, I would think they are still conical seats. Typically only aftermarket wheels need deep extended thread that go into the rim. I can not tell from NAPA's...

    Brake light on, locks up rears

    My experience in another world selling parts is that is a classic symptom of the portioning valve not working properly. Does the master cyl have a lot of brown sludge on the bottom? If so a flush, fill and rebleed might help? Physical inspection of brake hoses? Remove calipers from mounting and...

    MTVR RECOVERY from Yermo cali to Georgia

    food for thought that the mtvr take different tow bar feet. They were on ebay periodically as no one wanted them.... Several sets available very reasonable! I am not the seller just sharing intel for those who are joining the 7 ton club. (Yes, I am officially jealous :) ) All the best with the...

    Just bought a water buffalo, M107A2 I think. What do I need to pull her home?

    some wd40 / jb blaster to spray onto the 2 pins/round cylinders that slide back and forth to lock the landing gear. The handle is pulled up but those pins like to seize/bind up. could be why the leg is not extended for storage. a farm / hi-lift jack might be handy to bring that puppy level to...

    Forward Air Control La Air Guard Below are the pics from the eye candy recruiter hmmwv but the com gear set up is very interesting. This was a forward air control truck at some point and that is what that small door was for. That slide out antenna base holder is very interesting. I might know...

    Replaced Battery Cable Installed Non GI Battery Clamps Now No Power?

    just a crazy thought but loosen the hold down bar to make sure the battery (s) is not internally cracked and the hold down is distorting the battery. Also check the wires underneath going to the starter and the pass through bolt in the body.

    M1061A1 trailer payload question

    You can get a higher rating and already is set up for a dual lunette on the xm1073 series. No ball mount but lower to ground than the m1061 draw bar. Bigger cousin to the m1061. I know of a member in La that has one for sale but that is clear across the world from you. https://uttwi.com/m1073.htm

    Underbody Protection Kit

    Main cage requires brackets. Suggest you read instructions for the kit. I think they are also in the tm's. Front cage depends on winch set up or no winch.

    hood numbers

    Looks like a forward air control truck. They have that small door on the clamshell for a pull out antenna slide mount that holds the large harris base with the tilt adapter and the the 4 part mast. See if there are holes on the top of the fender inside where that small door is located...

    1993 M998 Antenna Mount Identification?

    There are many options depending on which radio and era. The most commonly seen are the AS3900/VRC which is the wider fiberglass 2 piece than the single steel mast. Both the AS3900 & AS3916 are for the sincgars radio families. The later models are typically harris/ shakespeare units. The mount...

    M105 Stakes for M101A2?

    If they are the metal bows, then yes they will fit both trailers as they have 2 sets of holes to bolt up to the corners. Corners are the same for both trailers. The vertical stakes are different.
