Anyone in the Chicago area able to make a pickup from Downers Grove, box and ship to me in NY a 30 / 40 lb piece of military kit? Maybe fit in a large "if it fits, it ships" box... Thanks

The hand of Elvis - naturally.

Sorry to hear about the hick-up to your plans. I'm thinking you and the previous owner "your friend" will be very comfy in the Superduty. I hope he doesn't snore too much. [I think I'm making a reasonable assumption here considering the vehicle and your location!!!] Re pieces - yes it's a...

Hey Red - how are you going to mod the hood for the Jakes - speed hump or raise the whole thing on taller sides?

So if I eventually decideto get rid of my lube unit trailer - I could put it in the classifieds as a "Mule trailer" (with air bunnies) and people will 'get it' - Awesome!! Note for mods - I am not selling anything ..... yet!

Double tapered socket, double tapered plug, spread cable end over plug , assemble inside the socket - nut tightens the whole lot wedging it all together - like a compression fitting of sorts. Make sure that you see the cable end through the little hole before tightening. Like Jeff said - these...

WOW - your neighbours must love you!!!

Yes you did - I was still going off half cocked from the previous one!! Hadn't realised that you talking about the same thing, still thought there was a B2 we needed to discover with the things like on the pallet. Oh no - I was the one that thought you had found a new holy grail!! I am that...

OK - Who else got suckered into thinking there was a "new" list for wrecker kit that included weird stuff! B2 indeed. doh! (Not Roman numeral 2 - it's 'Bee', 'Eye', 'Eye': Basic Issue Items)!!!! But seriously - went through the BII for the M62 - also covers the M543 according to page 5 and...

I guess you'll be doing some light reading then..... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?130527-Rear-Level-Wind-Servicing-Tips

Always nice to find the little toys .......... that go with the big toy!! What TM are you referring to - is it the specific one for the 543, as I don't recall seeing anything like that for the 816? I'm sure there would be real interest by the other wrecker owners to learn about more kit...

Even you might be able to swing a cat around in that!

All I have is the trailer - the lube unit was kept by the friend that got the unit from auction. Chassis plate on the trailer was glued on - not too well. I don't think these ever had an "M" designation. I'll look around for a plate with an actual unique chassis (vin) number - but didn't...

Adding a NATO slave socket to the cab of my M816, mounted below the standard two pin socket. Pic 2 - using body hammer and dolly to flatten the cabs corner radius to allow new socket to sit flush in a square slightly recessed from surface. ('O' ring or gasket and hardware were not included...

Realising this- I should have qualified:- Direct out of Fort Indian Town Gap PA. Last used in a training unit - civi steers for the nubes. Haven't seen any other spots of non camo. Lots of layers of plain green, 3 colour camo and factory green.... - Er thanks! It's kind of looking that...

Doing some disassembly on the M816 to enable cab repairs and found this... Yellow original paint under the drivers step Jerry can holder and under the tool box that is behind the holder. Anyone seen this or know what it relates to?

Red - have you ever seen roof trusses mounted up the other way at an angle for a single pitch lean-too roof, using the normal base chord as the roof? Just flip the setup and make up a couple of sets of cable tethers as necessary, of suitable cable size. [Theory; cables for tension, tubes for...

What did you do to stop the truck rolling forwards/backwards or sideways off of the outriggers since they are not rigid? Did you just cross your fingers and hope the fixed baseplate would be good enough?
