Not sure, but here's the link to the manuf info.

I see the price for the kit anywhere from $279.99 here in SS to $1248 from the manuf. I figured $130 is a drop in the bucket. If I don't like it then I'll...
Thanks John, I know what you mean. Bread truck...that's pretty funny. Yes, I agree there are several 2.5 ton and 5 ton bread trucks out there. Thanks for your words Marine!
Thanks! After almost two years, the paint hasn't faded from what I can tell. It's holding up awesome! The nice PNW rain hasn't done much with it either. I also noticed the moss doesn't like to take up residency on the Behr paint as much as real CARC...BONUS!
I remember OD Iron used to carry those storage trays. However, I don't think he's in business anymore or at least right now. His website comes up but links are dead.
I have H-161 Headsets to go with the four VIC-1 Stations I'll have set up (3 in cab and 1 in the bed). I have the LS-671's have their own purpose. One will be tied into the VIC-1 and act as a 1MC while the VIC-1 is on. The Second will be tied into a future HAM type radio (SINCGARS radio maybe?)...
LS-671 Console Completion and Fire extinguisher Mount
I received my second LS-671 today to complete my overhead LS-671 Loudspeaker console. I added a couple H-250 handsets to complete the speakers. I also completed my fire extinguisher mount on the winch control console. I was surprised this...
VIC-1 C-10456 Mounting Brackets-Driver and Passenger
I followed the same idea I did for my M923 project. I used a single layer piece of cardboard as my template (thanks USPS for the cardboard). I marked where the bends needed to be on the cardboard, transferred the marks into the 1/8" steel...
Outstanding!!!! That looks great! I asked about doing the very same thing a couple years ago. I was told it would be overwidth so I ditched my plans. Now that you've done it. I'll have to pull out my plans once again. Thanks!!!!
Are you looking at the M939 Battery Relocation Kit? The box hold two plastic battery boxes that are identical in size to the M818 and M35A2. Since you've got an M818 you can use that for size. If you use anything smaller than the military ones, it's a good idea to shore it up with 2x4 pieces or...
VIC-1 Project: AM-1780 & C-10456 Mounting Bracket
I got a couple hours in today. Today I fabricated my AM-1780 and part of the C-10456 mounting brackets. Rather than going crazy on a mount, I just utilized the support structure on the hardtop. I used 2" steel stock for the mounts. I also used...
The switches are just On/Off. On my M923 project, I mounted the foot Hi/Lo pedal for the IR lights just under the dash. I made it a knee switch to go from Hi/Lo. Just an idea. I mounted the switch in an M35A2 airshift switch bracket.
Door M-4 Weapon Mounts
Tonight, I completed my cab weapon mounts. Like my M923, I wanted weapon mounts on the doors. Rather than spend $100 for a M939 3 weapon mount kit from TNJM, I spent $70 for two M35A2 weapon kits off ebay (4 weapon mounts total) and fabricated my own 90 degree mount for...
I did;-) I took pics of my process and will post tomorrow. Just need metal stock, something to etch the metal (used an air cutting tool so it'll bend where you want it), benchvise, and a hammer.
Thanks Peter, so far so good. No issues with hitting the switches. I put the switches in that location so I can just simply feel for the switches and keep my eyes on the road. I thought about an overhead panel but didn't have enough wire. I've got the same type of panel on my M109A3. Haven't had...
Hey Scott, those toggles are all US military toggle switches. They are all sealed unlike the civilian toggles out there. Thanks for the heads up though.
LS-671 Console Mounted and Overhead Console Prep
While I had metal shavings all over the cab from drilling, I decided to keep drilling. I mounted my LS-671 Speaker Console along with two other mounting brackets at opposite ends of the dash. My plans are to use these brackets for an overhead...
