    M1025A2's who bought one of the 8

    Lionel, any luck on your Lot? Feb 14th I get an email from Liquidation telling me to disregard the previous email, they were trigger happy with the pick up notice. Feb 15th I get another email from Liquidation telling me one or more of my transactions at one or more of their warehouses was...

    WTK: Spare Tire Strap Hooks to? Lengths for Cargo Cover Straps?

    The Dash 10 isn't very detailed, couldn't find a video on Youtube, reference the Spare Tire Strap Assembly, where do you secure the hook end to? Best I can guess is the hook it to the 3" wide rod seen to the right of the tire cradle in the below photo. Cargo Cover Straps, supposed to be 2x 1.5"...

    GMV roof holes

    The G-D GMVs or the Dimensions Inverters? The inverters I saw on google for as cheap as $300 for the 12v input version, looks almost identical. If you have a 14/28 volt 200amp generator in your truck it would probably work, short of doing the total amp draw math.

    M1025A2 HMMWV solid gold!

    6.5l NA engines because they are A2 series trucks. But at least it makes it easier to upgrade to a 6.5l turbo later, it already has the 4L80E 4speed transmission and TCM, 242 TC and driveshafts installed. I'm looking into the other alterations needed, like opening up the transmission...

    Alum. matching door latch handle and window crank (NOT military match)

    Somebody mentioned Mack door and window levers might fit. Here is a 16 spline aftermarket for Mack that looks close to the original external plastic cover POS S&S window lever. Wonder if it will fit...

    M1025A2's who bought one of the 8

    Now the event is no longer showing convenient to cover up the shill bidder. Anyhow I passed 60 days (plus 14 fixing the invoice address) I was told they are behind due to holidays and the gov shut down.

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    We built a quad 20mm Flak-Vierling to mount on a 1941 Ford 1,5t truck for reenacting. The Stinger launchers don't even look threatening, just rectangular boxes with 4 holes in the ends, cops and the public wouldn't even know what they are looking at. Use known components like the toothed ring...

    GOVPLANET/USMC latest EUC times?

    I passed 60 days plus another 12 days getting my invoice address fixed on the first Go-Dove GMV auction. With no benchmark for previous Go-Dove HMMWV Auctions, I have no idea how long they will take.

    M1025A2's who bought one of the 8

    Looks like something ****y in today's GMV Auction: Some of the runners met Reserve at $10,000, another one (Lot 32, photos showed a Bad Alt sign attached) showed met Reserve at $8,500 that I could swear was showing not met Reserve prior to that change. So looks like non-runners had $7,000-7500...

    Door keys for M1088-A1

    No sir, picked it off a map, almost. I knew folks from Ft Walton Beach when I was active duty, always sounded like a nice place to retire to...…...until I started house hunting here. Then I decided I didn't want to live "in town". And the 3x a week night Gunship Gunnery....the sounds of...

    Door keys for M1088-A1

    My cab also had two different locks on the doors. I paid a local mobile locksmith to restack the wafers so both locks use the same key. A larger locksmith in a bigger city shouldn't have a problem resetting the wafers, mine was done in small town FL Panhandle.

    Lowering LMTV Cab after Manually Pumping Up to Fix Fan Clutch Airline and Throttle PS

    Finally, frick man. Set all the selectors to lower, used the pump to overcome the pivot point and it eventually gently lowered itself. I didn't want to break my neck climbing into the cab and riding it down..... I even tried to use my cane to hit the start buttom but no joy no joy.

    Lowering LMTV Cab after Manually Pumping Up to Fix Fan Clutch Airline and Throttle PS

    Like it says, I manually pumped up the cab tilt so I could replace the fan clutch airline and throttle position sensor. I tried to lower it using the hydraulic manifold controls but I can't quite get it to pass the balance point in order to secure everything before it rains like **** tomorrow...
