    Rebuilding FAV #91

    Even the longest journey starts with the very first step. Sorry I'm not right down the street from you. Is that boat light switch panel installed overtop the original Engine Protection System panel? And does your dashboard still have any or did it ever have any of the aluminum warning tags or...

    Side View, clearest photo of nearly 90 degree I can find, I'm sorry I can't remember who originally shot the photo of a FAV on display in a shopping mall or something: It appears the overall length is a bit shorter at the rear (minus 0.5"?) than the overall length of the chassis top bars, the...

    That silver box mixed in with the wire harness is a relay/fuse etc component of the Sea Dog Light Control Panel? Looks like you will need a copy of the Engine Protection System sub panel for your dash, too. I need to get a copy of the entire dash. LVOSS: Nice score, those condoms are...

    You can't just keep playing "Fortunate Son" in continuous loop, Contemporary radio comms is going to sound different, from the encryption signal on keying mic to higher quality, digital quality recordings but the general public will not know. You can find the Generation Kill closing radio...

    This is the M220 TOW Missile System Traverse Head Flange off a HMMWV M1025 turret and there is another inside the crew compartment by the front passenger seat. Pedestal 557936. Its a cast aluminum part. I bet they just cut off the exterior two bolt tabs to make it fit on that rectangular...

    No post 9th ID heavy weapons mount for passenger so safe to say was not a Wackenhut Security car in its last enlistment?

    General Questions

    Without an actual mount on hand, using existing reference photos and known thickness of the frame tubing at 1.5" OD, I would bet the sides are 2x2 in square tube: (I can't remember who HQ4 belongs to) and the front cross piece is 2x4 rectangular tubing. (In my album this one is titled "Dan's...

    Got your plan layed out? I think Mogman has done the most extensive and technically rich road map possible for FAV.

    My Recent Chenowth Acquisitions

    Lawdog, what sort of engine is mounted in the DPV? Is it a later Type 4 "pancake"/Porsche style engine vs the Type 1 Type 2 Bus used in the FAV?

    Re: Your Rebuild/Reset Plate: I had new rebuild plates made for the 180 M1025A2 Ground Mobility Vehicle GMV HMMWVs that were sold off of Letterkenny Army Depot that look close to what you had on #090:

    The bumper number, CS16, is likely Combat Support Company FAV16. Back in the 1980s the Infantry Divisions were organized under the H Series TO&E Table of Organization & Equipment. You would have 3 Rifle Companies then the Combat Support Company which had a Heavy Mortar Plt of 4 4.2in...

    MERDC and 3 Color NATO Camouflage Patterns for FAV

    These are scanned from the Hobby Boss FAV model, good for a starting point to camouflage your FAV in either the MERDC environmental camouflage pattern used early on or the 1986 and later 3 color (Olive, Brown & Black) NATO camouflage pattern. The MERDC needs Sand splotches added or replacing...

    FAV Photos

    On the radio shelf I see two box shaped objects. Bottom one is likely the RT524, the PRC77 on AM2060 the speaker is taller than the PRC77 radio, the RT524 is straight across. I see something at an angle up to the top box. To me that looks like a bungee cord is securing either the aluminum...

    This one is either USAF CC Combat Controllers, (now TACP) attached to 9th HTMD, or one of the Fast Attack Bns' S-3 (Air) going by the UHF "shark fin" antenna. The Marines are smart, they have their own Air Wing, their own intrinsic Close Air Support CAS. Unlike the Marines, the Army has to...

    If you go to the UPS Store or Mailboxes Etc they charge you out the arse because their lackey has to do the work. IF you go onto OfficeMax.com, click on Services, then Print & Copies. I uploaded the TM 9-2320-280-24P-1 Vol 1, then it gives me $542.85 ($550.83 if you want it 3 hole punched)...
