    Does anyone know where I can find the tailgate strap panel

    Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest it was. Post #20 included a rear shot of my truck that wasn't posted by me. That's what I was referring to in my post#24.

    First car show of the year!! (Peoples Choice Award)

    Nice display! Maybe throw a proton power pack in the front seat and see if anyone notices :)

    So if you were going to get a parts truck and . . .

    I just won one at auction. It's pretty banged up but I was in the market for a transmission. I got a few items as a bonus that I'll be adding to mine. Feeling a little like a Borg. Will also get one of the wheels w/tire to use as a spare. If I had a big place to store parts and lots of...

    Introduction & a warning

    I won't be there. I'm about 1300 miles away.

    Introduction & a warning

    Some pics from the auction. A face only a mother could love. Btw, no steering wheel. I'm having to rent a forklift just so I can get it off the carrier.

    Wanting to start a new HMMWV business. Need your help.

    Currently, GovPlanet is releasing the vehicles. I bought a M1097 2 months ago in WA and was able to pick it up 5 days later, and I just recently won a M1114 (for parts) from Yermo and the auction clearly states I have 8 business days to pick up or incur storage fees. But, the SF97's will still...

    Introduction & a warning

    Just bought a parts vehicle, 2005 M1114. I plan to strip the transmission (and other sundry parts) for my M1097. Pull the wheels/tires for spares, maybe some other parts. Sell the slant back pieces, maybe some other stuff and scrap the rest so it won't be in my possession long...hopefully...

    M35A2 expedition mini home

    Put 50% down, finalized the dimensions and ordered the fuel tanks. Should take 1-2 months. Each tank works out to be about 45 gallons. Though, I'll be lucky to get 40 gallons of use considering the surface area & how shallow they are. This is one of my latter floor layouts, though I've...

    How do you secure your vehicle at shows? Armor hatches - Safety related

    I guess I've been lucky. I've been to several shows in small towns/cities and never had a problem. I tell kids crawling inside not to touch anything on the dash (they can grab the steering wheel). No one's ever turned on the power switch which would sound the audible alarm for the air tanks...

    M35A2 expedition mini home

    I'm gearing up to start the actual camper part of the build so thought I'd start a master thread here. I call it a mini home because it's much more independent than a camper. I'll post links to all that I've done if you really got a lot of time to waste at work. So...I started my process...

    WA state cancelling MV titles

    This is the kind of cryptic response I'm used to seeing on SS. Kind of surprised you included the "Look up" part.

    Blackest matte black

    Little off topic, but I found a paint called Singularity Black that is nanotube based like Vantablack. SB, however, is available to anyone. The process involves heating the paint to 120C after application. It works great on fabric, so, if you want to dress like a ninja... Like some of the...

    Blackest matte black

    What is the difference between Aeroglaze Z306 and Aeroglaze Z307? Aeroglaze Z307 is conductive, while Aeroglaze Z306 is not. Conductive paints are used to provide EMI (electromagnetic interference) or RFI (radio frequency interference) shielding to a product. I think I'll stick with Z306...

    Blackest matte black

    Vantablack is owned by one guy and not for sale to the public. It's made from nanotubes of graphite.

    Blackest matte black

    Looking further into this, there have been 2 cars painted with these super absorbing light paints. However, both were done as publicity stunts and probably never drove more than a few miles in perfect conditions. BMW painted a car with Vantablack, which is not even available to the public, and...

    Blackest matte black

    BLACK 2.0 - The world’s mattest, flattest, black art material by Stuar – Culture Hustle USA Granted, it's expensive. Though they do give a discount between sizes, so maybe they would give a discount for volume. What I'm wondering is, would it be looking for trouble or just plain stupid to...

    Where to find a complete, working RT-524

    Bumping an old thread because I found a source. I've never ordered from the site, but military-spareparts.com has RT-524 working, tested models for ~$650 including shipping to the US (they're in Greece). Again, I'm not endorsing this site. I just found them through a search, emailed and they...

    NJ Humvee insurance

    Went online form with Haggerty, stated that my primary use was utility/offroad/non daily driver, and the form gave me a quote. Mine is a 2007. But, I had some more questions so I decided to call. I mentioned that the variant is a utility vehicle and that's what I was planning on doing with it...
