    custom C-pillar construction, what is the radius of the bends in the corners?

    Slantback and GMV C Pillars are about 11ga 0.12" steel seamless tubing. Be advised there is a difference between a "pipe bender" and "tubing bender" so research first before buying at ChiComFreight.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    This is one of the tail light covers off my M1025A2, which has one all incandescent bulb assy and one hybrid incandescent brake/turn and LED BO Marker/Brake. Now one of these I repaired before had a metal rectangular frame that held the BO marker lens assembly in place, this one has a clear...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I wish one of the parts houses having plastic taillight bucket assemblies made in the Peoples' Republic, would make a set with clear reverse lights in place of the blackout markers. Short of that, using two of the Ambulance style reverse light brackets, you can bolt them through the A2...

    Canvas cover for RT 246 RT524

    Steel rear airlift bumper

    I was told the Aluminum Airlift Bumpers were for the Avenger ADA Trucks on M1097 chassis, they needed to be aluminum to meet weight restrictions or something like that. I'm pretty sure my 1994 M1097A1 truck has the aluminum airlift bumper on it, truck is still waiting on EUC. The truck was in...

    Pickup day Albany, Georgia

    Is there a phone number for the Albany yard or email to forward Bills of Lading forms, etc to the Yard Manager? I have an M1097A1 non runner that I am contracting with a 3rd party to haul for me sometime next month or January.

    Behr Paint Code - Home Depot Update 2019

    Should we be posting photos of paint can lids with the tint formulas here for future reference? One can at least take in the tint ratios from the old system FSC color matches, right?

    Different turrets
