You suck :P lol I can't say anything, I'm the same way. I'm usually more focused on completing the project than I am about taking pictures during the process.

https://m.summitracing.com/parts/omx-1772901 Is that the one? The brass one shied an 1.25"OD and the groove is 1", but the plastic one doesn't show dimensions at all.

Got it soldered up, it's a bit ugly but it'll be functional until I find that plastic one y'all are talkin bout. Got it in a vinegar bath right now, just enough to cover the part that is the variable resistor, the part that makes it all work. This part started comin clean after only about...

That's cool, I like it!

I wanna see pics too! What's that they say?? Pics or it didn't happen?! Lol

A little gentle time on the bench wire wheel and they're nice and clean, ready for some flux and solder. Found where my current leak is and an old crack as well, I'll solder up both and then solder the halves together. Hopefully that'll be tonight, but it might be tomorrow. Edit:words on me

I usually figure about 200-250 miles, however I've done A LOT if 1500rpm idle time in the last couple weeks since I got the truck home just dealing with these tires. Only have two left to fix now, but I think I ended up using 6hrs or so on the hour meter since I remember last looking at it and...

Y'all got yer beer? Ready for a show?! Yeah I got a little crazy besides being really cheap lol. I ran out of fuel last yesterday while I was going home. When it finally rolled to a stop I was about a mile from home. Of course I hoofed it and immediately went about planning how I was to...

Just for some info, you can find the parts numbers in TM 9-2320-272-24P-2 Fig 455-459. That's the for the fiddly bits for the M939A2 in general, they do have other figures for more specific builds like the wrecker and dump. Fig 462 to 470 covers the larger assembly pieces, like pump, winch, and...

Ditto

Welcome aboard from Arizona!

This is similar one that I had made years ago for another car I had. Good work!

I plan on making or getting a good ground anchor for those times when I don't have anything tie off to.

Excellent fab work there Chris! I'm interested to see where this goes for you!!

I agree, I don't really do much playing around, though I do still get the urge to throw some mud around. I want the lockers first and then I'll work on getting the winches. More often than not I can avoid getting stuck in the first place while getting where I need to go. But because I plan on...

I'm not familiar with the Marine versions since I was in the Army. Got any pics of what you're referring to?

Unless I'm winching out some poor sap in his puny 4x4 Ranger I really don't see much of any instances where I would be using only the outermost layer of winch line. I will almost always use at least double pulley snatch blocks to reduce the load on the line and the winch, which when setup will...

Heat from the elec ones is also another factor to consider. Granted I've never actually had to use the winches when I was in the Army but I doubt the hyd ones will build as much heat in the drum as the elec ones do. Driving and winching is a considerable bonus that I had actually forgotten about.

I would love to have a hyd one, but with all the effort and parts to make it work I think I'll just go with ProWinch's 24V ones instead. Besides that, I really don't want another box cluttering up my cab. When I had my brother and sister in the truck driving around seeing family when she visited...

FWIW, I'm considering a 20k 24V electric winch just to make my life easier. http://prowinch.com/buscar.php?from=1&tipoz=88
