One of my cohorts stopped the pictured vehicle. It is still owned by the USMC but is a test vehicle of sorts for a civvy contractor in Ann Arbor. There was an opening on top for a turret of some sort but it was removed and plywood put over to cover the whole. It is much smaller than a styker and...

Question for any electronics guys out there. I read Bjorn's article in MVM about his adding CB audio to his vic-1 input to listen to the CB on through the intercom. He used an audio impedance transformer to connect the 8 ohm speaker output from the CB to the 600 ohm input of the vic-1. My...

I just got a Mobiflex command post tent. I can not find an NSN. Does anyone know an NSN for this thing? Does anyone know the pub number? I would like to find an electronic copy of the manual. The one I got needs several lugs replaced. If anyone knows of a source for the replacement lugs or hubs...

I managed to pic up a Bose TriPort Tactical Headset. It is designed to work under a helmet. The push to talk box has a battery compartment and there is a connector on the side. I assume it is to power the ANR. I need to know what battery needs to go in there. It is a round battery for sure but...

I am thinking about getting some body panels from Mack's Militaria in Brooksville, Fl 34601 for my M151. I have someone that can bring them to me from the rally but need to know if anyone near can grab them and ferry them to the rally for me. Thanks Chuck

I called today and was quoted $65 a gallon for my business. I plan to get a few gallons of green, then some a gallon each of brown and black. Anyone else want some at this price? I will be going sometime next week. You can either pick the paint up at my house or I will bring them to events I am...

I read the tech articles on both these subjects. They give Napa numbers. I did the wiper upgrade and the result is amazing compared to the old wipers. I have had questions recently about them so here are some cross numbers I found for the Napa numbers given in the articles. • Napa 4309 filter...

For those that may have an axle that is being torn apart for a project, I need a backing plate for my rear axle brakes. I am having problems with one of the adjusters. If you have one let me know and give me a price. Thanks Chuck

I took the deuce and family to Willow Run airport in Ypsilanti Michigan for the annual Thunder Over Michigan Event. They have a huge battle reenactment complete with a bunch of armor. They even had 101st Airborne reenactors actually jumping out of a C-47. I later took a ride in one of the C-47s...

Anyone have a civy part number for the front shocks on M800 series five ton? If it is a military only item does anyone know who has them? I have only checked with Saturn at this point. Chuck

My M146 trailers both have the copper air lines for the service and emergency connections ripped out. This was done by the front end loader used to move them around the GL lot. My first question is can I spice in a good piece of copper with compression fittings or do I need to splice it with...

I need the two sockets the hood hold downs sit in on the hood. I am not talking about the ones on the top of the hood for the windshield. I am talking about the ones at the front of the hood. Anyone have two I could really use them. Thanks Chuck

When I got my M818 truck the paperwork said it needed a new oil seal on the front of the accessory drive. I confirmed this when I changed the front driver's fender. My new fender and paint job got a great anti rust covering of engine oil during my recent trailer pickup. I need to get it fixed...

I went to pickup my M146 trailers and the M101 Trailer. I got a lot of help and that kept me from having to make three trips instead of just one. TedG offered to help and I appreciate it but in the end I was able to get it done without him. Armada brought out his depot rebuilt M818 to help me...

I was checking my M818 out before making a trip to get my trailers on Friday. My son was pressing the brake while I was checking lights. All of a sudden, I got sprayed with something as I heard a woosh as my son released the brake. For a second I was trying to figure out how I got sprayed when I...

I got the M151A1 running today. I put a boat tank on the carb and pumped the primer bulb while taking out the main jet. I pumped until clear gas came out from the bottom of the carb. I replaced the jet then shot some either in the carb. I put in my cucv batteries and checked to make sure I was...

The subject line pretty much sums it up. Any one used panels from the guy in FL selling on Ebay? Any opinion on quality or fit? He is listed as Mack's Militia but the ebay store name is fl-tacticalsupply. http://stores.ebay.com/fl-tacticalsupply_W0QQssPageNameZstrkQ3amefsQ3amesstQQtZkm Any...

I have a big hole in the floor that was at one time a place to put my batteries. I have seen battery trays from several places. Is this what I need to fix the floor or is this something that bolts to the floor of the battery box? Anyone got pics of the battery box with the batteries removed...

While at a car show on Friday I had a Norwegian man take a long look at the deuce. In broken English he told me about his compulsory service and how he was a deuce driver in the Army. He told me about running super singles instead of duals. He seemed to be very happy to see on after what must...

I did get two pics from the car show. They are of a prototype three wheel jeep. The tub is wider and can carry three people shoulder to shoulder in the front and three in the back. It had the shifter on the tree. The guy said his was number one. I asked about seeing one in a magazine and he said...
