    Winch mounting plates

    Well I got the rear fairlead installed on a 923A2 today. I am cutting some more stuff for the rear kit. I am making a cover plate and some star washers that will make it look cool with our new DBA "Militia Engineering" Here is the drawing for the Stars and Cover plate. The cover plate is...

    If you want to recess the fairlead let me know! If not, you are good to go! I will email you the instructions. Just updating for the recessing frame adapter.

    Winch mounting plates

    Well Guys I have been busy today but I did make the recessing frame for the rear fairlead and I started cutting out the rear cross member when my battery died. So I will finish tomorrow and post the final pics. So this will save the fairlead and tailgate from hitting. I made a 2x2 square...

    Winch mounting plates

    I can recess the fairlead into the rear cross member of the truck by framing the mounting plate with 2" square tubing and recessing it inside. See pics. I will weld one up tomorrow. I will also have to upgrade the 8 bolts from 3/8" to 7/16"

    Winch mounting plates

    I just made a new generic plate that will mount the Series 18, 15, 12, 9 and M15000. That should just about cover any winch you would want to mount on your truck. If we could just get holes tapped at the same time!

    Acquired a Military surplus load bank

    I tried to find someone to pick these up. I put adds on uShip too. I never got a response about about meeting a LTL truck for loading. He would meet a local person I wanted to buy 6 units. Good Luck!

    Winch mounting plates

    I mount the fairlead where your star is located! Straight shot for the winch cable. My tailgate had a habit of breaking my reflectors! I may put 2 brackets with rubber bumper on the tailgate to prevent mine from going below horizontal by accident. Not an issue on a deuce since the Pintle is...

    Winch mounting plates

    Here are some pics of the rear mounting system. This system will go on a 939 series without drilling the frame rails! The mounting plate clamps to the frame. I have not painted these yet. They will be primed and painted black. The kit includes a fairlead attachment plate that goes on the...

    Winch mounting plates

    The biggest problem is that you must follow the mounting requirements for the winch. You should reverse the winch so the feet go toward the bumper. If you are set on doing this, you should remove the bumper and cut off the bends where they interfere and weld or bolt a new flat plate across the...

    Acquired a Military surplus load bank

    Is there anyone out there that can pick up 2 of them in Gilroy CA and take to fastenal store in town or a freight company. The owner doesn't ship at all! Only local pickup. I posted for a local delivery person to go out and pickup and take to fastenal. If anyone else would like to do the...

    M925A2 Hauling capacity

    I spoke awhile back with the company that designed and sold the ABS equipment. They said the main problem with the truck is that the braking capacity was 20 tons! Thus the air diverters were required to keep from locking up the front brakes and I think they actually switch an off and on x...

    Winch mounting plates

    This is a plate I did today that locks between the original frame rail and the new frame rails. It covers the gap below the winch. Keeps crap from getting on or into the winch from below. It is two sheets of AR500 welded together to make a 33.75 x 14.5 plate. I also added a piece of angle to...
