Alright folks, the long awaited (2 weeks) VIN info thread starts up again. Here's the rules of the road for the newbies. 1. When posting, give me as much of the following info as possible: a. VIN also known as serial number (SN) b. Registration Number (Reg#) c...

Anyone out there able to inspect an item at Warner Robins for me prior to 16 May?

Here is a Shakespear antenna mounted on my CUCV. It works with 12 series and SINCGARs and can be used with a standard AM/FM stereo. I took my 12 series antennaes off and put these on. They sit lower but still give a good military look and fit into the same mounts. Will have these at...

Loaded and ready to hook up (if I can get the tongue lifted). My Marine neighbor came home for lunch and saw me finishing up but before I loaded up 2 GP Medium tents. He said "Do you think you have enough on there". I stood back and looked and thought, we'll I can still get the tarp back on...

Here some photos of the installation kit stuff I got. I don't know what is for the M715 and what is for the M800 series 5 ton. I put the comments and questions on the photos themselves. Maybe someone can confirm or tell me what this stuff is for both vehicle wise and function.

Yesterday as I was heading up 15N through Frederick, MD there was an 816 on the far side shoulder. Never one to pass up the chance I hit the next exit and went back south for the half mile or so and pulled over. Guy was out of NC somewhat near Ft Bragg and runs a scrap yard. He bought the...

Another point of confusion based on numerous pm's today. On the right is the MX-6707 which is used for 12 series radios. The 12 series radios are Vietnam era radios that were used up to and including Desert Storm. On the left is the AS-3900 for the SINCGARS. SINCGARS is what is currently...

Had a lot of questions about stuff I was selling so here is a layout of a basic VIC-1 system. I put out signs showing what is what but in case it doesn't show up---- Battery -> CX ? cable -> MX-7777 Surge Supressor -> CX-13908 cable -> Mount MT1029 -> CX-4723 cable -> Amplifier AM-1780 (also...

Anyone that looked at the GL website for gen sets saw a bunch of them at M-burg. I am sure this isn't the reason but I happened to talk to a group of folks that were working on alternative power ideas for combat units. Electical power is going green in the military. For base support there is...

Cleaning out an old shed from a guy that use to be in the surplus market years ago I think in the 80's and early 90's. Stuff has been sitting for years but some of it I'm literally lifting the roof off of the stuff to get to it. He are some of the pictures of what I got in today's haul...

This isn't my forte but here goes. Short version is I need to find out any suppliers or location of an engine for a 1942 Jeep. Was told it is a CJ but I don't know if that is correct. Unsure of manufacturer. Marine Gunnery Sergeant at the nearby USMCR center is looking for one to fix up a...

I've heard this term on numerous threads. Excuse my ignorance but what is a fusable link? I looked it up in the 34 manual and can only find the term dealing with the M1010 cracker box. Where are they at on a M1009? What am I looking for if one is burned out and do I repair it with...

Was telling my father about the police stop in Illinois of the deuce returning from the St Pat Day Parade. He agreed with the just of the convo that we have went too far toward law enforcemnt officers and need to go back toward the peace officers that gather support from the public through...

Since I didn't see the question pop up and today was a big day for GL, I figured I be the one to ask today. AND since I wasn't asked, I'll post what I got today, it is probably the greatest piece of auxillary equipment you could ever want. :wink: Will post a picture soon.

Did anyone win the ones that went off today in Florida?

Sounds like a simple problem but I cannot find the proper size of bolt to install the rear seat to bolt it to the floor. Anyone know? the 20P was of no help.

Just to let folks know I am parting with a gun pintle cradle with ammo tray. It is posted in the for sale section of this site. Had planned to use it on a future purchase but with a potential move coming up, I am going to be dumping a lot of parts and stuff. I will also be posting a 30 cal...

Anyone going to the Jim Thorpe Show that has a mounted tire/rim for a 3/4 ton M101A1 trailer, need non-directional tread. Let me know so I know if to go to the show or not. I may have to take a trip real soon and will be going about 1800 miles with the CUCV and trailer and want to make sure...

Found a heater at a surplus store today. First thought to come to mind was "That looks neat." Then what the heck is it. Turns out my 18 years out of heavy units has made me forget what a personnel heater for an M113 looks like. So any ideas what could be done with a 113 heater other than a...

Background is I did a guy a huge favor and he said he has some leafsprings but thinks they are for a 1008 not a 1009. I won't be meeting back up with him until next week so... Questions: Will the leaf springs from a 1008 physcially fit a 1009? What is the impact to the vehicle handling or...
