NTC-500....twice the output would be fun :) Are 1400s out of production? What tires do the 7-tons come with?

I've been pondering this exact SS vs dual decision for my m813 for months. Many guys who went 16.00s mention lower stability or feeling like the tires are driving the truck. I hear 14.00s feel better and you can chain them up but they are about $200 more per tire and getting harder to acquire...

To be fair, the Rapco 383 brown was a good match. Since you're trying to match existing paint maybe a sampling of brands would be good to experiment with.

I tried the Rapco 383 and didn't like it. The Aervoe 383, however was a perfect match to the original CARC from 2001. Even after 9 months outside the Rapco is still overly bold to match the CARC.

You may be in luck - I just had 4 more cut on the laser today that should be ready to ship in a week. I really enjoy reading your posts because everything you're doing is on my list and you're about 2 months ahead of me on your projects. Keep it up!

Very interesting - thanks for posting up those pics Will. I don't believe my truck is a USMC truck since it has no fording kit or lockers so that probably rules out a 29 Palms origin. My coworker was stationed at 29 Palms so I may quiz him on their dragon symbol...

That looks mean. I'm glad to see someone experiment with those.

I replaced my driver's side seat cushion and the old cushion had a tag that was labeled 'HHC 1-161 INF (M)' I could not find any dragon clues from this as it led to Washington State Army National Guard. However, looking at pictures of the front bumper letters I can sorta make out a '9-3P-34' or...

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.
