    M715 and M800 5 ton Installation Kit Stuff

    Keep in mind that the radio for an M715 mounts in the bed. It actually mounts to the folded down troop seat right behind the driver. There are some pics of an installation and a copy of the TM with parts list over at The M715 Zone...

    Pre / Post Lubrication System...Done.

    Actually, if you are a good welder, you can avoid overheating the metal. Even if you are not, you can pack the area with clay to keep the temps down. For redundancy, you can weld in a sheetmetal plate to reinforce the area and distribute whatever stress may occur. Converting the line to a...

    Ideas for tractor rear licence plate mount

    http://www.dmv.state.va.us/webdoc/citizen/vehicles/vehiclereg.asp I'd put it on the front. That's normal for a road tractor and you won't have to light it if it's on the front, lol.

    Pre / Post Lubrication System...Done.

    Eh, just weld a bung into the lower edge of the pan facing to the side or rear. All that bolting and fittings is a nit extravagant. I'm a fan of K.I.S.S. Excellent work overall though. The electronics is enough to make me cringe, but it's definitely not my strong suit.

    Dash makeover ideas, please

    Or you could just have them make a vinyl sticker with the labels printed on it or cut so that the aluminum shows through, and apply it to the entire panel. You could save the image file of it for later use if you would ever need more made for future use or anyone else who may need it for one of...

    Deuce + Shelter = Camper RV

    Keep in mind that for passengers to ride in a camper they have to have some way to communicate with the driver of the vehicle and they must have at least one exit they can open from the inside.

    water proofing your CUCV. snorkel project started

    On my Ramcharger based MV-ish conversion, I will be running a HMMWV style stack that will be frenched into the quarter panel to reduce the overall width. The stack will be permanently attached. The matching snorkel will enter the firewall above the heater box on the passenger side, snake...

    Rear axle clunk

    If you are not familiar working on axles, I'd pass the bearing job on to someone else. They require a few specialized tools that the average mechanic doesn't have, such as cone bearing pullers and torque wrenches in the 250lbs + range. As for bearing brand, dig around and find or order Timkin...

    Frag Kits

    I believe the specifics of the various armoring kits for the HMMWVs are still classified.

    M880 MERDC pattern teaser

    It definitely exists out there somewhere. I know I have seen it in PDF form also, but I never saved it because I was always more interested in the 3 color patterns, so they are all I saved. The problem is all the majority of the manuals out there are updated versions that don't show the 4...

    Camo paint options

    RE: Do what makes you happy 86M10086.2L, I can guarantee that the paint on your truck was not done by the military. I would probably guess that it was solid OD green of one shade or another and the "US ARMY For Official Use Only" is probably original and accurate. It was probably used on base...

    Camo paint options

    RE: Do what makes you happy True, anyone can do whatever they want with their own property but when you post questions about camo patterns and paint on a military vehicle forum, at least a few of us are going to suggest using the actual military patterns. I'm a stickler for the authentic...

    Camo paint options

    Yes, please use the correct pattern. All the "redneck" camouflage paint jobs out there look more like vandalism.

    Experimental Deuce?

    Re: 6bt That is correct, when Dodge decided to get back into the diesel pickup business in the late 80s, they wanted to leapfrog the competition and offer an engine that surpassed everything else offered. Using a medium duty truck engine was elementary and typical of Ma Mopar's "use a bigger...
