The story and sorry for the length. Water got into my control box as the glow would flash now and then driving along and sometime the glow light would be dim while driving. So I pull the control box and open it to find a little water in it. I replaced the control box, Installed new glow plugs...
Could use some help. A little water got into the control box and that was that. So long story short. New box, new temp controller for box, New key switch. New lighting multi switch. New overkill grounding cables (6 of them). New glow plugs as all were open. Two circuit breakers behind gauges...
My PBC box went out and replaced it with another but no wait light, Headlights, volt meter. Wait light blinks on the crank. Just where are the circuit breakers? I know of the one next to the steering column but that should be self resetting. What an I missing????? Also not getting the "thump"...
Installed these little 3.5" Leds (1320 Lumens) to the three holes in the bumper and two as backup lights. Will be wiring them up tomorrow. Just going to use toggle switches on these lights as they are only 18W each.

Thought I would post some pics of my new toy hauler. Had it custom setup to carry an old car of mine and my motorcycle as well as a small workshop. With the car in the trailer she will weigh in at 8K and I have an electric brake setup and my HMMWV has the airlift bumper so all is well. The...
Installed a pair of military lights to use as backup lights. Just running off a toggle for now until I setup a switch on the tranny shiftier. I still have 13" of clearance under the lights so that is not a problem. I sure can see backing up now :)

Just finished up installing the new lights on the light bar. Had to shorten the fording stack to make everything work. These units put out some serious light and only draw about 4 amps for the six of them. Really pleased with the look and operation.

I thought I had a 6.2 in my truck but it is a 6.5 and from what I can tell it is the better block. Can someone please confirm? Was hoping for a GEP but oh well. Thank you.

Just picked up my 91 M998 on Saturday and so far am really pleased with it. Have to learn all the in and outs but zero issues so far. Had a friend in CT put her together for me and I had her painted to match my buddies Pinzgauer and my M101A2 (pinz green) trailer.

I was lucky enough to snag a NOS green arctic to and curtain for the four man setup. Can't wait for the delivery but I have a few questions. Are these as hard to find as I believe they are? Is the cover and curtain a lot more durable then the reg setup? Any install tips? I don't know much about...
I would like to install some balancing beads in my HMMWV tires but since I have runflats and assume grease was added for them so would not the beads just get stuck in the grease? Am I wasting my time?
Thanks,

I am looking at a 1994 HMMWV A1 4 door and trying to find out the differences from the pre 94 models. I know the seats are better and it has the heavier duty half shafts but does it also sit a little higher as I believe the payload is higher. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Any other...
I like the 2 man M998 setup but would like to lower the cargo cover to be in line with the truck much like the low profile on the soft top 4 Man setup. Has anyone done this as I am not finding info on this mod. Below is a real quick photoshop image of what it would look like. Any help would be...
I know they can be tuned to get into the CB band (27MHZ) but I want to use it for 2 Meters. I picked up an NOS base and antenna locally and would like to get it functional. Can't find much info for this use.
Thanks,
Mark
I really like the MK-48 but it's too **** long with any of the reg trailers and I know you can't drive it without a trailer other than yard movement. I was wondering if you removed the fifth wheel mount from the MK-16 it looks like with a bit of fab work you could mount the M105 bed to it or a...
I can't seem to find any info on the trailer itself. Any help would be appreciated. All I could find was the UK modified a US trailer for their searchlight but that would mean we had a searchlight for it.

Someone else may have done this but I haven't seen it. The problem with covers on trailers or truck is over time they sag between the bows and they start to hold water and this causes more sagging. I have seen wood, electrical conduit and even plywood on top of the bows but none of them looked...
Had the Pinzgauer and newly painted M101A2 trailer out today. What do you think?
Finally finished up color matching the M101A2 trailer to the pinzgauer. If I could find the Pinz tarp/cover material I would have a new cover made for the trailer but I think it still looks nice and pulls like a...
