    Locking T Handles?

    I was just responding/posting a working link that Serpico had posted. The one he linked via tapatalk was borked (at least on my browser). Tapatalk doesn't play well with DragonByte and most PC browsers. It also can bork the images posted thru Tapatalk as DragonByte can't store them locally...

    Locking T Handles?

    Yeah, he said he's aware of such options.. But he wants to use the OEM hole with zero modification. I'm not aware of anything that fits w/o at the very least some filing/grinding.

    Newbie looking for a TM for a 2006 M1148 A1R LHS not found here in TM area. TM-9-2320-392-10...

    The A1R stuff isn't in the public domain. I've been trying to find the TM's for three years now. The material handling bits should be the same across the variants.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Yeah, they are blood refrigerators from medical units. Can also set to freezer mode. I added hinges, gas struts, and a couple rubber latches to the removable lid. Then put in a plexiglass floor with vents (it had no bottom inside as the bags sit in racks). Added the light and USB port...

    M1089A1 Trans Cooler Question

    The M1089 is beyoind my scope (only had the four wheel variants myself). Wild guess, but could it be a failed temp sensor? Ie: the engine fan will come on at start up but then shut down until the 200 degree mark where the sensor turns it back on Perhaps the trans cooler works in a similar...

    make retainer cables

    I had a Jetski and HobieCat rental for 20 years. My business partner was a local sailboat dealer and I did rigging for a lot of years (everything from Lasers to J-Boats to Camper&Nicholsons) Rule #1: make your own cables = 1/10th what over-the-counter costs *military surplus has an even...

    What have you done WITH your FMTV ( trips, Rescues etc) NOT: fixes, updates etc

    Yep. I had on on my M1078 and I have one in my M1082 trailer. Some rattle can camo and it's ready for an NSN.... ;) For the truck I made a 4"x4" drop-in so it could be moved to any one of the four corner posts (that's what they are for). Total cost is about $250 after paint. Or...
