Shots from a visit to a nearby navy base: Strobes in the corners and NMO mounted antenna on the right side sponson Strobes in front under the turn signal IR and red strobes I still don't know the purpose of these sockets or the square plates

Put these backup lights in the existing holes in the bracing behind the bumper - no drilling. They are 24v white floods and the sides are amber strobes, each controlled by a separate relay in the battery box, fused of course. The toggle switch is ON-OFF-ON style - up for amber strobes and...

C-141B crewmember joke: What the difference between a C-5 crew and the C-5 engines? The engines stop whining when they block in. :ROFLMAO: Anyway, the experts will be along shortly so I'll just ask; when was the last time you inspected the hubs? I would park it until you have.

This is becoming lost knowledge. Most young people only know - push pedal car stop. Back (early 80s) when I was stationed at Travis AFB I bought a Ford Maverick off some guy's front lawn for $50. It was my beater car. It had drum brakes all around, and coasting out of Mix Canyon there was a...

I've been an avid seatbelt wearer ever since high school, when my sister armor-all'd the bench seats in my 1970 Ford LTD. It was the only way to stay behind the wheel in a left turn. I had a friend a few years back got into an argument with his wife in a bar (he had ...uh... wandering eyes)...

I think BlueOx makes a bikini top for the HMMWVs. EDIT to add: He has a HMMWV, so he will make you pretty much anything you want. He made the roof and rear curtain on mine and as mentioned, without the doors and with the rear curtain rolled up I think there isn't much difference.

The manufacturer makes tactical dune buggies, so that might be a recovery trailer for them.

So several months ago I threw down a low bid on a "patient lift" - one of those things that lifts non-ambulatory people up so you can set them down somewhere else. I figured it would be a good tool for hefting the 400 amp alternator out of the M1165, being it's 24V and almost no effort is...

Wow, glad I don't have anything in the pipeline. I was setting up to use them to pick up my MEP-802A on the pallet in TX and ship to WA, but found their website too confusing to complete the deal...

Weatherstrip on order. Thanks to LightintheDark I have the missing knob and the MOV. Installed both this afternoon. Went down the rabbit hole of trying to find three LED panel light bulbs, gave up. Not really worth it. That should be the end of the driveway maintenance items, the rest I...

Ah, ok those lenses. I thought you meant there was access to the gauge windows by unscrewing something. So just pull the panel and clean the inside gauge lenses from the back side - don't need to pull the gauges out of the panel then.

Explain this please? I was in there yesterday running wire and I'd like a better understanding of what is being unscrewed and where it is specifically as I'll be back in there next week.

Next up is weather-strip replacement. What works best that's reasonably priced?

Second battery installed. Starts easily on its own now. The $109 walmart batteries are only 440CCA but seem more than sufficient. I still need to run down about 40 bolts/washers/nuts for the panels. Took off the top and checked wiring for any chafing, one had some very minor rubbing and...

Did some driving around town to find a couple batteries- ended up at walmart for $109 each. Not the best ones on the shelf, but (1) they had some on the shelf and (2) the next one up was $159. Dug through my hoard of old aircraft stuff and found four matching wing nuts with lockwire holes...

Well, apparently nobody makes a tray for a Group 51R battery, except Honda. I rode the V9 Guzzi out to the wrecking yard to scout out what they have, planning to return with tools if they have what I need. I learned Honda owners cannot drive - the yard had dozens of wrecked Hondas. Bonus -...

The -24P discusses some battery trays and hold-downs. Anyone have a source or suitable substitute? I'm not trying to make a historically accurate show generator, so exact parts are not necessary.

I made more or less the same statement in another sub-forum. Apparently the rule changed and we're slow.

Either not enough belt or too much pulley! :ROFLMAO:

My brass T fittings came a day early and the fuel return lines are replaced. Now, to get this thing started.... I had the JNC 660 Jump-&-Carry on one side, and the 50 amp charger/starter on the other. The dead crank would give it a turn or two and die, and nothing but clicking with the start...
