A couple of weeks ago I was watching a video from a Marine camp and it showed the inside of a 7 Ton with the cargo cover on. It had the seats but also had the back rests in place. I had thought the back rests were only installed when the cargo cover was not on. So I checked the TM and saw that...

I straightened my front bumper. My front bumper was bent in on the driver's side like I have seen on many trucks on the GP auction. I decided to fix it by pulling on it with the tractor. That was a big mistake. Now I know why you guys don't like the aluminium bumpers. I was just idling in the...

I detailed my truck this last weekend. It looks better but I was just as interested in treating it with chemicals to make it last longer. I am talking about the tires and the cargo cover. Now the tires and cargo cover look like NEW. The real advantage to me is that it stops the sun from...

I have a suggestion. We can post summary things to this thread and then if somebody wants more information about the post, a new thread should be started with the details. Then we can find the detail thread much easier.

This is not about the truck so much but it relates. I found out from a FOIA request that my truck was stationed at Camp Fuji Japan. I was talking to a Marine the other day, and I mentioned I had a 7 Ton. She said that is cool. Then I said the truck was stationed in Camp Fuji and she said SHE WAS...

You can get a coin for that camp. https://www.challengecoin.com/marines/installations.html

I started a thread on fuel tank caps. I suggest you also cover the key way because water and junk can get in there. Mine got water in it, then froze, and then I could not get it off.

I created a thread on LED lights if you want to replace the filament bulbs. Jon

That makes sense. I know that there are a LOT of 7 Tons at Camp Legune. I have photos of some of them. I used the FOIA to get information on my truck. My 7 Ton was stationed in Camp Fuji, Japan. At least, that was its last station before returning to the USA. If anyone is interested I can...

So I thought LEDs were supposed to last a long time but one of mine didn't last so long. On my truck, the red LED on the drivers side rear went out. It was working intermittently but it finally died. So I took a look at it and did not see a connector for it and I thought that was strange but no...

I have a back up camera in all my other vehicles so I thought I would hook up one on the 7 Ton. I did not look forward to running a cable all the way from the back to the front so I checked into wireless backup cameras. I was not sure if the transmitted signal would make it through all the...

That's good news. It would be great to have locking handles - I just hope it is a good price.

I am not sure what NewEra means either. But I don't have it so it doesn't matter.

WOW! stathis, I have seen photos of the Greece ones before and they are really nice. The improvements/changes you guys made are really nice. Thank you for posting the photo and I hope you can keep us informed about what is happening over there. Jon

I have photos AND A VIDEO! The issue I found is that the M105A2 is not able to get the pintle ring high enough to just drop on the hook of the 7 Ton. It took three of us to lift the trailer and drop it on the hitch. When I took the trailer off the 7 Ton, I stuck some wood under the trailer jack...

Here is a video from the Marines showing the 7 Ton pulling the new water trailers, MK149. https://www.dvidshub.net/video/706863/hurricane-dorian-preparation-goettge-memorial-field-house

The manual is software. It is called EMS NG and there is no PDF. A computer is required to run the software while you work on the truck. I did some research and a software company in the USA makes it but I am not sure if they would sell it to us and if they did, I bet it would be very expensive...

WHAT!!! Austin is the only part of Texas I have visited. Dang.

I seen many Marine photos of the 7 Ton pulling a M105A2. I have both so I will get a photo of them together and post it.
