    Sheppard steering gear rebuild/reseal

    If you are sure you have an ECV/REV truck the Sheppard gears are available directly from AM General or the usual HMMWV suppliers. New expect to spend $1500-$2500 before tax and shipping. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sway Bar Install Question...

    Did you put urethane bushings in the end links? I found that one bushing is offset in the bore on stock end links. Replacement bushings do not account for this this binding on installation. The only way I found to make it work sub-optimally is to install the end links and bar ends first then...

    Sheppard steering gear rebuild/reseal

    Curious if anyone has attempted a rebuild/reseal. The box on my 1151 has excessive sector shaft play and leaks. Figure it’s worth a seal and sector shaft bearing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Slant back seal

    The footman loops and one bracket have to be removed in order to lift the armor plate off the hatch. Suggest using a lift of a few extra hands on the plate to avoid damaging the hatch. After that, the seal installation is relatively straightforward.

    M1151A1 combat restraint parts / diagram

    I need to replace the RF lap belt and am missing some of the brackets. Having a hard time finding a parts diagram to ID the belt and bracket. Here’s the belt bracket, there is a missing extension that keeps the belt from contacting the battery tray. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bolted down the rear seats. They were uninstalled during the demil process when the partition was removed. Left a little blood 🩸 in the process. PS: Looks like a dime bag came out of the seat assembly. Wow, service under the influence [emoji2959] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Solargizer/Pulsetech mounting on 1151

    I have a solar pulse charger that is known good. Curious about standard mounting locations in the service. I’m not overly enamored with hood/mushroom cap mounting or drilling holes in the top. Considering fabricating an aluminum panel mount to an existing location near the RF passenger roof for...

    Oil change. Nice NAPA 1061 filter with quality oil. Existing filter was barely hand tight. Continued consistent impressions whom ever worked on this before auction release was a genius [emoji848] 30-40 psi on the gauge. 30 at idle warm https://youtube.com/shorts/vJ6pBh3231U?feature=share...
