Special Operation Command Family of Special Operations Vehicles - everything from a NSCV to a GMV to an MRAP to an LTV to a MRAP-ATV to ..... oops more alphabet soup..... google FOSOV

If you want an amplifier that SOCOM uses in the FOSOV, get one from Tricom Research, not ULBI. Nice setup. And yes Harris made both exportable and Type I 152's. They may still be exporting 152's, IDK. Harris uses a high speed bus for control of their VAA.

They quoted me $200 to a commercial address in Northern VA. $300 if residential. I wound up using a guy with a trailer that was shipping some other items for me. I expect someone will buy them and try to flip them on eBay for $450! I thought about buying an extra set just because. They came...

Just received NOS aluminum troop seats at a great price. $299. Chris was great to deal with. I hope links are allowed, I have no affiliation. https://real4wd.com/product/hmmwv-troop-seat-kit-with-hardware/

I have the pathetic beep beep horn. Looks like it draws maybe 100 mA. I want to replace it with a consumer two tone but they draw maybe 3.5 A. Not worried about the wiring but maybe it's too much for the button? Thinking about installing a relay but is that overkill? Anyone done this on an...

uship.com is an option for LTL shipments if you don't mind the effort of bidding and using random freelance people

Thank you. I'll check it out when it gets into the double digits outside.

New to me M998 with MWO 9-2320-280-35-1 parking brake upgrade. I read the MWO. I guess the adjustment is via the linkage from the handle. Is there a different procedure for this with the MWO applied? The brake doesn't really hold and I'm hoping it will if I snug it up a little but don't want...

I finally have the title in hand. Then I tried for un registered farm plates. I was told with a GVWR of 7,700 lbs I don't qualify for one time unregistered plates and that I have to get F-Tags with yearly registration fees. The DMV site states: Conditions A DMV-issued permanent farm use...

Well I guess I wasn't paying attention - the voltage gauge still bounces when cold. Fuel gauge bounces too. Took it on the road to the dump - first time on pavement. Seems to wanter around on the road a bit above 40 mph. Semi's blowing by at 55 in the other direction is interesting with no...

Still have the keyed ignition (gonna get to that) but swapped batteries and cleaned all battery connections and cables. My voltage gauge used to jump all around especially when cold but now it is rock solid center green. I've read that the bouncing gauge is the glow plugs but now I'm not sure...

4.15% tax for the title transfer. And the seller put the full price on their title when they signed it over. Of course, I would never put a lower price than paid on a title. It came with a title, and until July 2024 you don't need a title for the tags, but when that changes you need a title...

Has anyone had any luck avoiding VA Sales Tax on a HUMVEE for farm use? I will plate it as an un-registered farm vehicle but it seems there is no way to avoid the sales and use tax applied when I apply for the new title. The other option is to not get a title and pay nothing. However, this...

I'm adding a 24/12 dc-dc. Guess I should use the run signal to a relay - I think I have seen others discussing that as well. I was going to wire it to a battery cutoff but if I leave it on it will kill the battery eventually. And I know I'll forget.

Thanks for the input. I guess I'll have to do something similar. I'm on more rolling hills in Northern VA but the washboard roads will knock a filling out. I'm adding a battery tender (dual 12 V. Looks like you have that or maybe a 24-12v converter or solar charger? I suspect I may need...

Hi, New to me 1986 M998 with some bubba work done to it. I need to clean up that battery area, remove the 12 V stuff, etc. I see someone tried to arc weld to the chassis side of the shunt. The battery trays I have seen online have holes for the threaded hooks and a bracket on top. Maybe...

Wow that is sweet. Exactly what I was thinking except nicer. I like the removable panel over the tailgate. Did you cut down stock bows or just bend some conduit to fit? Nice job and thanks for posting!

OK, ignoring comments about safety and people in trailers, anyone ever used M998 troop seats on an M1101 trailer? Thinking they might bolt to the top sides and make it into a stake body trailer of sorts. Maybe remove the seats and just use the backs. I think the bed in the M998 pickup and the...

cargo AND a dump body all in one!

Loaded a ton of brush into my M998 (pickup setup) and thought the backs of the troop carrier seats would turn this into a nice stake body truck. Maybe the seats would get in the way or I could fold them up? Wonder if just the backs can be mounted? It's a farm utility vehicle. 2 passenger...
