Can't speak to M35 series vehicles .. but many newer military vehicles have that sticker .. WIDOT is concerned about "all those HUMMERS coming back from Iraq" also included are newer (1968 or later) imported MV vehicles from other countries that have to earn a sticker from the importer thru the...

PB .. Man you know where I am at with that issue .. there in a heartbeat ..not my call brother :jumpin: Tanner .. All vehicles built before 1968 are EXEMPT from having "The Sticker" on the door and qualifying for registration as a safe daily driver .. WI has a different interpretation on what...

PB .. got a couple of looks from the TSA Fellers .. but they let me clear without any hassle ..When I checked that little suitcase .. the gal at counter just about passed out when she lifted it .. rofl Will machine out a tray for my batteries .. use aluminum stock for a base and then...

Yea you would think so .. the dollar issue you really need to emphasize is the fact that it won't cost WIDOT any $ to implement the changes .. we are after all, only a very very small slice of the registered vehicles in the state. You can believe that Paul, Tom and supporters have pitched all...

Great progress. Fender welting is not that expensive and is what the vehicle originally had... Have seen some trucks without it, But I think it looks better when it’s installed. Have you rinsed out your fuel and return lines? I ran Acetone thru them and then blew out the lines... Acetone is...

The amended bill is in "Play" and we are waiting to see what the outcome will be next week .. stand-by

I am a fan of and use Optima Batteries .. I did a significant amount of research and landed up purchasing two Red-Top's for my M818 ... I live in WI and these batteries just plain perform in the cold. Like the concept of this batteries technology as plates just break-down with continues usage...

Progress Slow but Sure! Managed to get my wood measured up, cut and drilled out for the rails, seats and headache rack .. Dry-fitted everything will now strip it off, round my corners on the router table, seal and paint everything up so I can reinstall and bolt it home after the beast is...

WIDOT understands the Federal Regs .. It’s just a matter of accepting those regards our vehicles WI Safety law is actually fair regards what is needed on a vehicle as long as it is FMVSS compliant .. That’s the rub .. Vehicles produced before 1968 (That's right the Federal Gvt has stated that...

Attended yesterday to support the team and testified ..BLUF: (Bottom Line Up Front) Frustrating Process and UBER Complicated!!!!!! Paul and Tom have done an excellent job of moving this legislation into the limelight with the State Government and their dedication and sacrifice (Time, Money...

Words of caution are warranted .. but like anything a little common sense goes a long ways .. Here's my project process: You will need to pull the sending unit and the pick up unit from the tank .. Cut the Acid with a little water (I use a stronger mixture as my tank was nasty) ..USE GOOD...

Had similar issues with my M37 tank .. soldered it up, rinsed a couple timed with the pressure washer and then treated it to a muratic acid bath (Purchase at Home Depot). The insides of that tank cleaned up nice and shiny .. rinsed once with MEK and then sealed the tank with Red-Kote .. End...

Welcome to the "Disease" :grin: Did a turbo on my M818 last fall using this thread and a little "Just Take The Plunge Attitude" It really helped having a major truck grave-yard right down the road :jumpin: As stated by others .. the modification is not to difficult .. In my modification I...

Backed her out today so that I could shoot some paint in the shop .. as you can see have a little body work to do on the fender and the hood .. snapped a couple of pics with the service / headlights on and to show the spotlight ..

Thanks for the advice Dwayne ... great minds thing alike and I was already on the hunt for a good epoxy to do just that! Did a similar repair on my 56 MGA back in the day and it came out quite well .. I'm pretty sure that the epoxy compounds have improved since then and I'll post an update on...

Wendell, That might be a possibility if the Clarksville thing pans out :D Some more pics: Home made spotlight mount, rebuilt horn button on column and sandblasted bow parts ..was missing the lower stakes but have some on the way from the Snake River gang. Have some more cleanup to do on the...

Completed install of all the rebuilt drive shafts and the transfer case this weekend. Axles, Transfer Case and Tranny have new lube and plugs. Took the beast out for a spin before the weather turned to crap … vibration is gone and she tuned right up to a steady 40+ MPH. Finished my horn...

Update Have driven my project several times in the last week and have noted a vibration in the drive-train. Ran the beast over to my buddy Todd’s farm as he has a hoist in the shop and I have never had my baby up high enough to really check things out. Loosened up all the drain and fill...

Eric's Military and Industrial Surplus .. Use the wire diagram as a rough count on connectors and order an extra bag .. get a bag of Y connectors (2 wire to 1 Wire) as you will use them in both the front and rear harness .. That shows up as a double connector in the wire schematic.. Eric sells...

Outstanding work!
