Here's a video of the tool 10603 - Tiger Tool Wheel Stud & Brake Anchor Service Kit - YouTube

New tires, powdercoated rims, new O rings, valve stem hardware along with new wheel nuts and lug nuts. The beadlocks were about the only part that was reused.

Thanks Matt :) I can't say for sure what else they fit but the late V100 leaf springs measure the same as the ones on this V150. We also added an extra short leaf on the left side rear because these vehicles all squat a bit more due to the engine being offset to that side.

We found a lot of damaged threads on the wheel studs, probably from the confusion that often comes with putting right hand threads on one side of the vehicle and left hand on the other. If that wasn't bad enough, there were both RH and LH on the same wheel :-? Anyway we punched all the old studs...

Took the machine outside for steam cleaning

Sure do...we had Robert Sheppard here today and again tomorrow, he usually has folks with him that wants to look around. So by all means, shoot me a PM and we would be glad to have you:beer: Sharp Shooter | Video | Fox News

This one is mine...that's why it's taking so long :razz:

You are correct L1A1, the 150s do have 5 ton axles

Taking the axles out so we can replace the leaf springs and address a few concerns underneath and also removed the top assembly...rust had no mercy on this unit :neutral:

Just as Rory said, this one uses the entire back portion as the engine bay now. In addition to the dual vision blocks for the driver, it also sports a 6V53 diesel, Allison transmission and 5 ton axles. You are correct on the 1033 program, only other agencies with arresting powers can have the...

Here's another LAV150 coming out on the 1033 program. This unit was among several reclaimed by the US during the invasion of Panama in 1989 called 'Operation Just Cause' This one is pretty rough but wont stay that way for long.

Radiator in and stainless/silicone plumbing completed along with the hydraulic circuit.

I keep hearing references to Mad Max, but I am honestly just building it to be building it...:grin:

Just finished the headlight guards...these are made from stainless steel, but will be powder coated matte black.

All the fuel and hydraulic lines are hooked up now, brake lines to follow. Also a shot of the engine that will be covered by the radiator shortly.

Yes, and it's a bit rough around the edges :p

Another one we're doing for a neighboring state :grin:

Here's a small vid of some GSP folks dropping in at our shop for some night exercises. The short FLIR segment was transmitted from about 18 miles out to a small hand held console we had at the shop. Bell 407 Helicopter landing at the shop - YouTube

Well, today was a good day! I purchased a spare transfer case for my machine from a gentleman who also shared a ton of history and stories when he personally delivered it to the shop 8-) He also gave me a lot of extra stuff too...some of which I didn't know was even available, like this new...
