    Rear LED lights

    YMMV, but I find the grote led light to be superior and more easily seen. I use them on all my trailers and on my trucks. I live in the land of idiots and uninsured drivers in the banana republic and I want to stand out and be the most visible. That 3 light triangle just is weak in my opinion.

    Mystery military trailer

    one of the things I like about the prototype is that it does not sit real high like the m1101/2 more like an m101. Makes it easier to load/unload for weak old guys.....

    New to me Humvee

    I suspect maybe the brackets are for combat Id panels but I have never seen them in the rear. I have seen special brackets on the hood & brush guard, and seen them on sides but I think that might be just velcro. flickering is probably the grounds but check them all. Ground kit can not hurt. My...

    Source for 6TL Battery

    With dry, you have the added cost of buying acid. You then would fill your own and charge it up yourself. Get wet and tell the counterman to order you in "current fresh date codes". Make sure they have not sat in the store for a long time. Check the round sticker with date code on side. My son...

    Miler Marker Hydraulic Winch Identification

    The easy way to remove the lower control arm bolt is to jack it up and relieve the weight. Then use the new longer bolt to chase out the shorter bolt. On the driver's side, I had to remove the caliper out of the way to have clearance.

    Anyone paint their aluminum radiator?

    Good question and debated in hot rod/ street rod/ and racing circles like presidential politics...... FWIW, In my previous lifetime selling parts, most brands including Modine would paint old school brass/copper radiators black only. When aluminum took over the OE and aftermarket, They are all...

    Hydro boost leak - vent tube?

    Should be a red fluid and using dexron. Are any of the lines going into the hydroboost leaking? If lines are clean and no leaks then: To me that sounds like your hydroboost unit is leaking and you need a new unit. Does the brake pedal feel stiffer or harder to depress?

    LOUISIANA PROPOSED NEW LAW : HB 549 Provides for Military Surplus Motor Vehicles

    There is no specific date range for this bill as it is broad and that is a good thing. My thought and I believe you already comply is the min equipment they want. Windshield, headlight, taillight, blinkers, horn etc. Look at the bill's equipment. Only thing that I see problematic for you is seat...
