I proudly vote for my brothers M38, willy10. It was a frame off restoration with no detail over looked, several years in the making. When not involved in parades, veterans activities or rallies it sits in the local museum so all can appreciate it, good job!.
First one in a SINCGARS mounting base, second is a DAGR mount(GPS), I also see a GPS antenna down next to the breaker box. Not sure about the third bracket, the GRC-142 shelter I had also shared AC/DC power, just the way they did it.
Original style exhaust pipe/tip installed today, about an hour project. I had the exhaust tip for a while, stumbled on a vendor who had 150+ of them, also nice having the hardware kit with the hanger and bolts. The pipes finally appeared to be able to finish the job. Next project inbound....

I had the same issue with my M1009/trailer so I went the low profile tire route and stayed with the original rims. I braved the Maine cold at lunch time and hooked up to the trailer so you could see how level it is. It tows just fine, just don't go crazy with the weight in the trailer and you...
I just had a similar problem with my M1009, headed home from work and when I let off the fuel she down shifted and would not shift out of first. Checked all the usual suspects and they checked out, turned out to be the nylon gear on the end of the governor was worn off. It's just 4 bolts and...
