    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    I did one complete truck, and just finished a M101A2 that I was going to sell, but now I am not so sure! It looks incredible and the tires were brand new when I got it. Still had whiskers on center lugs. It has a hard metal top and lockable back doors. It would make a great adventure trailer...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    I really don't think it would be an issue, but, if you are concerned you can always use Behr! Once dried, I'm sure anything will stick to it. Especially with the texture of Carc underneath or even the rough texture of a sprayed Behr job. Rusteoleum, Kilz, Krylon, I'm sure you won't have an...

    Big Bend NP Get Together?

    You won't get any grief from me for glamping. Camping is usually only completely enjoyable in hindsight. In the moment there is usually a small to large amount of discomfort. I like my sleep. And have grown to like my comfort. Go ahead, call me what you like. Princess and the pea, whatever. I...

    Big Bend NP Get Together?

    Cool. Sounds like a good week long trip. It's a long way to go for a 3-4 day trip, but I'd still probably do it. Might think of some stops along the way. Texas has some incredible places that we as residents pass by every day without thought. That distance in a 5-ton, or in a lot of FMV's is...

    Big Bend NP Get Together?

    I hope that is just a sneak peak! Hope there are more pics. I did about 800 miles this past week in the 5 ton. Frisco > Ft. Hood > Quanah > ElDorado Oklahoma > Frisco. Developed a transmission leak in Lampassas, which really stresses the importance of having a tow vehicle with all the proper...

    Big Bend NP Get Together?

    I wish I could have made this work. You guys will have a great time. Perfect time of the year too. Let me know when you get back if you want to do it again in a year. We just bought two M1082's and thinking of turning them into serious adventure campers. This would be a great trip to test them...

    Good luck gents. I told my friend who just bought A 923a2 about the trip and he said he would like to do it next year, if you guys are going to do it again, let's start a list when you get back. Have fun, be safe, and best of luck on everything adventures throw your way!

    Need help with TOCNET intercom system

    If I do get a system pieced together, I'll be happy test them for you. Might even need to buy one from you. Let me know what you have.

    Need help with TOCNET intercom system

    Which of the TOCNET boxes do you have? The one like mine? I got a reply from TOCNET explaining the system and what is needed to make it complete. They are going to send me pricing. This may get interesting. I have a box, 2 headphones and one headphone cable. i need 2 more boxes and another...

    Need help with TOCNET intercom system

    Well, I guess the best place to start is at the source. I emailed TOCNET with pics and a brief description and asked them for info on how to locate parts. This looks like quite a system. I was not in the military, so I have no experience with VIC-1 or VIC-3 systems, but from the looks of this...

    Need help with TOCNET intercom system

    Thanks Kurt, that looks like a manual for a VIC-3. They do seem to look almost identical, from the drawings, at least. I'm betting functionality would be similar too. Might be a good reference for someone.

    Need help with TOCNET intercom system

    Thanks, I didn't see any TOCNET stuff there, they had some VIC-1 stuff, but I have headed down a different trail now! This TOCNET system looks to be much more advanced than VIC1

    Need help with TOCNET intercom system

    I started a thread about needing an intercom system for my 939. Now, I need to get someone's attention who knows something about the TOCNET system. I jumped in and bought two RACAL Raptor headsets on the advice of someone here. (They do seem nice) I bought a TOCNET intercom system (or a part...

    Need headsets to communicate w passengers in 5-ton

    Oh, the bottom plug is smaller and very different than the two side plugs. I do see a port with a screw securing a plate over it that may be my power port?

    Need headsets to communicate w passengers in 5-ton

    Here is what I have. Everything "fits together" there are 3 plugs on the box. All three clearly take a very specific cable. Each has grooves to prevent someone from plugging the wrong 13 pin cable into the wrong port. Looks like the main cable attaches to the bottom port. This goes to one...

    Need headsets to communicate w passengers in 5-ton

    I just got all my goodies in the mail. This TOCNET intercom is a serious piece of equipment! I think someone grabbed it off of GL with a bunch of other stuff and sold it without knowing what it is. And I bought it without knowing what it is (except that the info for the RACAL Raptor headsets...

    Need headsets to communicate w passengers in 5-ton

    I have an AC in this truck, I pulled all the seats out and replaced them with two "Jeep style" seats, putting the 53" tall 16.00's that are in the bed on the truck as soon as I can wrangle up enough muscle ... soooo ... I am not to hung up on "keeping it original" :) Like someone previously...
