Hahaha now that I'm sitting here looking at the pics, I am now wondering how it worked. I had a cargo strap pulling the whole contraption against the headache rack to keep it from falling back. That weapon tray is really really heavy. Though heavy, you can use that weight to your advantage by...

Lightweight Weapon Station Install Part VI (LWS Mounting) Now that the LWS plate is resting the crossbars, we can loosely mount the seven u-bolts (3 in the rear and 4 up front) that will hold this thing in place. Those tabs on the crossbar I mentioned earlier will now be used. Make sure both...

Lightweight Weapon Station Install Part V (Physics Cont.) Now the heaving really begins!!! At this point, everything is in place and ready just brute force. While I was pushing this LWS up the 2x4's I had lineman drill flash backs where you do hand thrusts into the opponents chest. Once you get...

Lightweight Weapon Station Install Part IV (Physics) Ok, so here I am. I've got all the cab brackets and leg supports ready to go. I've taken all my measurements and everything looks great. But there's just one small problem. The 300-400 lb pallet of LWS is sitting in the back of the M925...

Lightweight Weapon Station Install Part III (Support Leg LWS Crossbar Install) This step is probably the most critical part of the install. So pay attention! Upto this point, it has been pretty straightforward. Now is where you really need to plan ahead and get everything ready for the LWS. In...

Lightweight Weapon Station Install Part II (Passenger Side Cab Brackets) Next order of business was tackling the passenger side cab bracket. This install was pretty straightforward. The bolts for the cab bracket are already installed. You just need to remove them, install your bracket, and...

Lightweight Weapon Station Install Part I (Driver Side Cab Brackets) Yesterday I began the arduous task of installing the LWS. Though I didn't have all the parts for the cab brackets, I went forth to get this thing installed. I found the installation instructions to be non-existent. I search...

Rear Towbar/Safety Chain Storage Still catching up on my write ups. Following my M923 Project idea, I installed the same setup for my tow bar/Safety Chain storage area. I used the same components but had to locate my crossbar a little different as the M925A1 chassis was a bit different than my...

Back Up Lights/Rear Auxillary Lighting Playing catch up here. I installed my back up lights a few weeks ago. I just realized I didn't post this in the thread so here it is. I used the Aurora Armored Lights I got off SS last year. These lights have a Hi and Lo setting. I opted to just power the...

The LWS install started today. Complete write up coming;-)

Your truck looks outstanding!! Great work my friend.

Great looking trucks! As far as your ABS issues, it could be due to a ton of different things. I troubleshooted my ABS a couple months ago and wrote it up. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?100847-WSUCougar-s-M925A1-Acquisition-and-Build-Thread/page3&highlight=m925a1

LWS Support Leg Cont. One lonely pic

LWS Leg Dimensions Here are some pics for a few of you who have asked about the support legs for the LWS.

Nope. The cap you see will go over the exposed hole for fording purposes. During normal driving, this is the correct configuration. The cap you see is nothing more than how you store it until you need it

Looks pretty similar to the ones on the MTVR's. With that said, there's got to be a kit out there. Now the next question..where? Also, I'm thinking your pic is using a Lightweight Weapon Station of some sort rather than a M66 ring mount.

Here's one from the classifieds. It uses a specific type of riser to mount the shield to the weapon tray. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?97154-HMMWV-Gun-Shield-Mount-and-Pedestal&highlight= I have this exact setup for my M939 series truck.

The chicken plate is what's found on the HMMWV weapon station. Not sure about the shield going around the back end of the ring mount

Welcome aboard!
