    Custom Oil Cooler lines...pics...info?

    You can certainly see the hose insulating the braided line.

    HEMTT rescues family from roof in Kansas City.

    Irony! That's like having that nagging wife disrespecting your motorpool then begging for A/C power during a storm or pimping you out to move her girlfriend (or personal trainer/ pool boy).

    OHIO BMV Changed my Street Legal Title from Virginia to Off Road USE only

    Not to be a naysayer but my guess is that the more HMMWVs that come out, the more scrutiny they will get. It's no secret that they weren't supposed to be registered for road use. I wonder if any of the early release sale from the USMC owners will soon see repurcussions from GP selloff.

    I hate to even post this, but I'm at a loss attaining insurance on my M931A2

    One call does it all. Call Gulfway in Hudson FL

    Picked up a deuce last month

    That is the best time for a crisis brake failure. Congrats.

    Custom Oil Cooler lines...pics...info?

    Moving the oring adapters to the front was genius. That has been the bggest challenge with doing an AN line and each of us had the part we needed but didn't know.

    Optima promo videos featuring CUCV's

    I enjoyed that too.

    Interesting towing setup

    Well, the towing truck could be full of gold bars. Ignorance is bliss.

    Hauling 5 tons in a deuce

    Deuce rear suspension is a work of art. When loaded the rear housing brackets have a higher coefficient of friction so when the spring is finally forced to move, it does so with force.

    Noob question: How bad ARE the brakes, really?

    Properly serviced brakes will do just fine. As Clinto said, price parts and weight go up exponentially on 5 tons and FMTV stuff. Here is one of the best aspects of a regular old M35A2. When your neighbors and friends find out it has 3 pedals and no power steering, they are 10 times less likely...

    Bought an Ambulance Body for my 1078

    Thats a great deal.

    We need to get you there Mr Lloyd.

    Lifting a M1031

    Yeah, screwed up my wording, fixed now.

    Identifying this "Strap Webbing"

    I see this used often for air dropping cargo.

    Lifting a M1031

    I give you kudos on lifting an M1031. I have a concoction that resembles an SECM. Stock height (mostly) and other than duals, stock size tires. I still have trouble reaching the side boxes. Gimpy will be along soon to comment on my being altitudally challenged.

    Lifting a M1031

    Are you sans locker now that the 70 is in? I'm guessing that the SRW hubs will aid in placement of the HMMWV rims, correct? Shackle flip, not a big fan for a work truck. You would have to re-engineer all the overload leaf pads to keep the overloads then you deal with the pinion angle...

    CUCV trailer wiring question

    Exactly why I asked. I have the same adapters. Generally, there will always be a surplus plug available somewhere.

    CUCV trailer wiring question

    What kind of trailer do you have? Do you plan on adding a hitch as well. There are a number of options and based on the direction you are going, some are better than others.

    CUCV trailer wiring question

    If you get a lite mate, make sure it's for an 84. The wiring changed in 85 on civy trucks, but not on CUCVs.

    m1008 to pull my m1009?

    Flat ground should be a non issue. Hills will be not be.fun. As long as you're not expecting to pass traffic, it will work.
