    air drop bumper pintle extension trailer receptacle

    Then Yes, All you need is the block off plate that the trailer connector & cover bolts to. You might also need a different collar spacer for the pintle on the inside. It seems the airlift bumper needs the longer spacer with a built in zerk fitting. New Holland makes it.

    air drop bumper pintle extension trailer receptacle

    There is slack to make it reach in every truck but you have to remove the wiring from 2 or 3 of the existing bolted on loom clamps and route differently. Part of the pintle extension kit is a small *45 bracket on the inside of the bumper to mount a new loom clamp. That loom clamp and the bracket...

    Did the supply of M101A2s and 3s dry up??

    The last large batch I saw came out of RRAD most were missing at least one tire/rim and laying in the dirt, all tan, very few covers, mostly fair to rough. Fuzzytoaster I think got a whole pile of them. My first GL purchase was my tan A2 at RRAD. I had looked at several auctions back to back...

    How quality are the Brenton soft top kits?

    Brenton is even advertising on my local craigslist. I think they like the retail $. Too bad other military suppliers have not seen the demand for hobby $.......

    M942 A2 Van Body Expansible Theater C-575

    painted Grey makes me think it is USAF. Group seating for briefing/de-briefing flight crews right at their birds? Also very cool with the lift gate and very few out there with that also. Might be tough to find info on body. Diamond B in Calif appears to be history. I still think the expando...

    M942 A2 Van Body Expansible Theater C-575

    That is definitely a low number made specialty build. M942 is the heavy duty stripped chassis only. Closest would be look at the M934 expando van body parts. TN's are here under the M939 series.

    Question on what year this is and any other info from tag

    The data plate has been changed. 2 extra rivets. Also the NGZ308? looks like an army registration number not a serial number. Fellow Member Bikeman has a thread on checking history. Keep an eye here for when the 2018 thread opens...

    Humvee third brake lights ? Options ? What have you done ?

    That is actually one of the reasons I like the airlift, tire carrier, pintle hitch extension and the mwo reinforcement plate on mine. I "feel" better knowing I have some steel behind me and not just aluminum :-)

    Oklahoma Bill Introduced to Create Titling for HUMVEES

    Step in the right direction but why can they not be used on interstate? Not a perfect solution.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I actually think it looks pretty cool and admire your skills. Carpenter I am not :-( Attached is a pic of ones I have seen

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Typically transported in custom large hardigg/pelican type cases with inserts to hold them. I have seen a few pop up on the auction sites but do not recall any stenciling or data plates/sticker.

    scored a water buffalo at a city auction

    Nice Score! Definitely a water buffalo most likely a M149. That lid and seal would not work with diesel and that tank is not vented. The critter to the left is a fuel pod. They probably just mixed up the listing details.

    M988 alternator issue

    The thick white stuff oe is I believe Dow 738 electrical sealant. The loctite 5990 is not a US product so I am not familiar with it but the spec sheet says "Electrical Insulating applications". It does not give more info in that regards. The fact that the catalog shows it primarily for engine...

    To paint or not?

    I have used the durabak paint with grit for my 5 ton bed and the bed of a 7 ton flat bed. It is good but I have had pallets and heavy loads scuff it and some partial areas lift. I did sand the beds to remove all rust and get them prepped. I also did lay a coat of rustoleum rusty metal primer...
