My local locksmith charged me $50 to cut 4 keys to fit my existing driver door latch and to match the wafers in the passenger door which had a different lock code
No inspections? I tried to get insurance via Progressive but they wouldn't cover it, but going to Progressive Commercial Insurance I got as quote of about $1100/yr as a commercial vehicle. My concern is they won't pay out if something happens and they discover I don't own a business.
War Pigs carried extra MFC full of fuel, Stinger Missiles, etc on a front bumper mounted rack, around the Western Iraq Desert, airflow around a KLR is probably much better
Radio "Doghouses"
It appears to be the same radio enclosure bolted to Humvee radio shelves as used on 6,5l GMVs. The model kit shows a double stack AM-7239/VRC on MT-6352 SINCGARS mount on the right with room to the left for the secondary radio amp mount MT-6353/VRC AM-7238B/VRC; or PSC-5...
"Masters of Chaos" Chapter 5 Western Iraq -The Battle of the War Pigs:
1/5SFG was given the Scud Hunter Mission in Western Iraq, covering an area the size of NJ. C Co was the Ground Mobility component. Their ODBs experimented with the modified LMTV War Pigs to support the ODA GMVs. A...
I only have a flatbed scanner and the nearest OfficeMax or OfficeDepot with a bulk scanner is about 45-60min away. Ideally I'd like to see it eventually wind up in the TMs section.
Compensation? I get free knowledge here, I've given people parts some of whom I've got parts from later...
I bought a Harbor Freight power washer on sale plus used a 20% off coupon, to degrease/wash Mad Max prior to Desert Tan Behr Marquee painting.
I couldn't find Shell 5606H Hydraulic Cherry Juice anywhere in the county so I had to mailorder some from Aircraft Spruce in twist top bottles. I'm...
Has anybody installed radioset in the LMTV FMTV family of vehicles? Is it as simple as plugging the CX-13450/VRC Power Cable onto the Circuit Breaker Panel from underneath?
My truck has the RAWLs power cable installed but not the SINCGARS power. The cable I am looking at has a while plastic...
And, I fornicated it vertically.....I've got the cab going up when the spare tire is supposed to, suspension not moving now............ It was starting to get dark, the buzzard-sized mosquitoes were starting to attack, hydraulic fluid running down my arm into the skeeter bites, so I rushed it...
Well, first, contact Phil Hunt at MilSysGroup.com to put your LMTV GPMG Mount Kit on order which can take up to 90 days for production. He had some demo Swing Arms and MG Cradles at a nice discount, too, otherwise you have to compete on ebay with the GMV builders for $1000 for a swing arm or a...
I attempted to swap out the hyd/pneu manifold this evening (Will sent me a nice one!, both labels nice shape), I swear this beech fought me the whole way, 3hrs later, No Joy, got dark before I could finish and I was afraid to cross thread the pipe fittings so I quit for the day,
The driver's...
Like it says, the TM says to do it one way but its not the most efficient, turning a wrench 30deg at a time to remove hose fittings, and that is when you have room for the wrench. Humungous block of aluminum to mill on, and the fittings have to be so close the flare nut wrench can't fit...
MilSysGroup LMTV GPMG Mount, MG Cradle and Swing Arm are here for the airsoft M240B.
OEM NOS Driver's Side glass is here from Omni
Local lockshop rekeyed my door latches alike, my truck didn't come with a key, and, we discovered I had two differently keyed doorlocks on it. Army logic I guess...
Omni Glass & Paint, Oshkosh, WI, www.omnigp.com per CAGE is original OEM for cab glass. I got two Driver's Side Door Window glass panes #12414355-001 with the crank bracket on it from them for about $117 each. They are supposed to be getting more passenger side #12414355-002 door glass in...
Lucky bass turd! lol. I tried bidding on that, I was shocked to see what it went for. But for probably one of the last newest LVADs it is probably a bargain. Please let me know if you find the X strap for removing the cab roof in the toolbox. Nice rig!
Or ensure the hand throttle is pushed all the way down after warm up prior to rolling out? (which might be what I Fornicated Vertically)
Sent you email about the hydr mani, btw, thank you Sir William.
