The install in the picture in my first post seems incorrect. Shouldn't there be 1 jam nut behind the dash and 1 jam nut on the outside? They have 2 jam nuts stacked up and it would look stock if they only had an internal tooth lock washer and a single jam nut on the outside painted green

Yes, $89 and that disguised key goes one step beyond the other key switches I've seen from others like T.M.G. I think their listing name is federal-military-parts Item# 152934722002

With key disguised it would be easier to maintain the charm you talk about and still be able to add some protection. I might pull the trigger on this in the spring - we'll see. I go back and forth and maybe a hidden ignition interrupt key behind the dash is better. Here's where I found it...

Ok. Good to know. It's advertised as a humvee application. They probably use that to crank up the price...

I have an M813 and I came across this key switch conversion and I was wondering if it would work on my truck. I think the 809s come with a 3 plug switch...

First decent snowfall of the new year 1-8-19

My wife was cool enough to get me some army truck parts for Christmas so I got the ratty seat cushion replaced.

Thanks for the lead. I'll try to look him up...

The Willy's looks pretty cool. I was surprised to see that they have a '41 CCKW

My kids and I are decorating the tree tonight and it's is missing my favorite color. I need add some OD green...

I got an M813A1 back in January and I started out at the exact same point you are at now and it has been a lot of fun working on the truck. I fixed little things and freshened up some worn components. The biggest problem mine had was leaky wheel cylinders and I have gone through 4 of the 6 so...

I got pricing back on the powder coating option and I can add that for $18. After my day job eases up in late January I will design a 2.5 ton version of the Soldier B HubHelper.

Good call. I need to get some flux and also some smaller gauge solder wire

I'm glad it finally worked out for ya. Did you have to pay tonnage and if so what did that cost?

FWIW...My 813 had 2" of fuel in the tank when I went up a steep hill and the pickup tube pulled in some air. 2" is about 10 gallons in my tank and you definitely need more than that to keep the pickup tube submerged.

162tcat has good advice and trying a new office may prevent more alarms being sounded in Olympia...

If this problem escalates to a poo show I would suggest getting read up on the successful approaches tried in other states. there is a lot of good info, experienced peoples and legal precedent paperwork from other states in the 'Politics Related to MV Hobby'. Might be easier to look at what...

you might have better luck at the Brewster licensing office

This is an alarming statement. I really hope that WA hasn't drank the same Kool-aid that the other dozen or so states have. It might be time for all of us to get organized...

That could be an option. What you save on shipping you might end up spending on welding wire, gas, and electricity...
