*also, the HEMTT wheels have a thicker center and require either the longer 939 A2 lug studs or special offset lug nuts

Technically it's not too difficult, but man-handling those mounted tires takes some effort. At the minimum the consensus is HEMTT wheels in the front and A2 5-ton super-single wheels in the back. Some folks opt for HEMTT wheels on all 6 positions for consistency and spare tire considerations...

From the outside I see 1 pipe with 2 flanges and 6 weld-on bungs. If you can't find one this would be like day-one type work for a machine/fabrication shop and you could get one duplicated. That's IF there's no special magic stuff on the inside.

Nice pictures! - that truck is pretty epic. Probably the first M911 I've seen a post about. I especially like the data plate about the applied rust treatment that's fastened to the rusty sheet metal 😅 Sorry, I have no ideas on the pressure issues.

If the brake system is maintained in good condition I think the statement would be "if they fail" and not "when they fail". A few things that can be done preemptively would be: Changing out the rubber lines with new. Make sure all hard-line clamps have rubber isolators/pads on them Adding a...

Side note: I like how your taillights are recessed into the bed sheet metal like a 939 series truck. Looks much cleaner than how the stock ones just dangle from beneath the bed.

The stock M817 should just have the 1 canister style filter under the fender. There is a screen in the fuel pump meant to catch debris from failed injectors but it is not a true filter.

Where in the world are you? I didn't see any snow in your pictures during the winter so it must be somewhere mild

I have no experience with these units so I can't speak for their quality but I do like the looks of them... https://www.federalmilitaryparts.com/products/keyed-ignition-switch-military-oem-style-fits-all-us-military-vehicles-humvee-etc

I had a Ford FE that was siezed up and it turned out to be a needle bearing jammed between the starter teeth and the flywheel teeth. Just saying...there could be multiple possible causes.

When they're not modified, they're always in 6x6. There's no manual front engagement switch like other models have. There's a sprag (overrun) clutch in the t-case that let's the front sorta freewheel until the rear axles start spinning faster than the front and then it engages. The...

Didn't Hank's deuce have an off-the-shelf receiver hitch on it? Yeah, yeah... Black Rock Fab https://hanksdeuce.com/drop_hitch.htm

I was just there a month ago with my level wind with the same problems. With a rubber glove I was able to rotate the wheels a tiny amount back and forth and exercise them while greasing. Eventually they worked loose and now spin with ease. No disassembly of the wheels was necessary on mine.

Well, thank you! I took my time on it and it turned out nicer than I had hoped. Here is the writeup I did on it awhile back: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/vic-1-intercom-panel-for-soft-tops.188122/

If I remember right, @162tcat was making and selling stainless versions...

There's this thread from a ways back: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/nhc-250-turbo-conversion-in-m923.90372/

Must be very exciting and satisfying to see all the large panel assemblies go back together. It's like building a toy model!

FWIW...I ran my ground cable from the AM-1870 attaching bolt (1 of the 4) to the same battery ground terminal that the AM-1870 power cable was wired to.

That picture looks hot. I can feel the heat just by looking at it.

These are the quickest ones I could find from the PNW chapter's New Year's ocean beach run. Not sure if this is an M920 or M916...(Pics by Peter Lahmann)
