    Rust-Oleum Camouflage Ultra Cover 2X Spray Paint

    I've been using it as well to fix some rust spots on the air drop LMTV that resides in the back yard. Green is not quite an exact match, but works, just like the brown. The Black & Tan is a perfect match. The sand colored Deuce gets all rusty spots fixed with the Tan & blends in perfectly...

    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    Some where in the base DRMO/DLA lot all over America, resides a bunch of these covers w/ the metric bolts that holds them on. We may get a few, here & there; but the rest will rust out. I thought about making one of plexiglass, like we do scrubbers @ work; but was told that was stupid & would...

    M1101/M1102 cost

    Several years ago, those trailers had to have a EUC cleared before you picked it up! Now, it is just pay & go home with it! EUC's seem like whack a mole game as they transfer around to different equipment on & off again!

    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    @ least you have the cage & cover. I passed on a NOS in the crate one complete @ the local DLA here 6 or 8 months ago & now I am kicking myself. Your turret cover also catches my eye big time! Keep the pictures & info coming!

    The picture of the parachute tiedown cover, what is that for? My truck is missing one of them & I need to replace it! A/C system, that is a ways off for me with no window & air system problems!

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I let a coworker drive my Deuce the other day & when I went to drive it again, the clutch pedal would not return to the full up position. After digging thru the dirt dauber nests under the truck, I found that the return spring had broken in half which allowed the pedal to flop. A trip to NAPA &...

    Did yours come with a 24v starter or is the pull rope your only choice of starting?

    Mep016d no voltage

    You couldn't let it beat you, could you. Nice adaption of miltary vs civilian equipment that actually works. I have a gas engine version of that genset that worked great on 110v, but 220v would not power correctly so it sits unused. Looking @ you handiwork makes me want to go drag it out & dig...

    Thanks for the help, order is placed for replacement valves & repair kits. Thanks for the help & explanations of the parts & where to order them from!

    LMTV air/brake problems

    It also depends on which sales guy you are talking to, some are very helpful & some are........you want parts for that ole army truck, ain't available any where or any more...sorry! They flat said that there is no stock anywhere including the manufacturer.

    Seat Foam Thickness

    What ever fits & keeps the seat cover on; just not enough to be really comfortable for us older guys! 3" is my best guess on my Deuce!
