Any mods I've ever done to tacticals was done such that it puzzled and confused the 'experts' as to it's being factory and was something they had never seen. Many times I've heard "I drove one just like this"...

Wait till you discover an old, burned out, rusty bedspring buried just beneath the surface. The discovery was I'd driven right over it, and it caught on a grease Zerk on the rear driveshaft, and rolled up just perfectly around said shaft, locking my M37 in place. All I had to remove it was a...

I've run my M54A1 all around the Yuma dunes with soft 14.00s and never had one pop open. It's not so much about PSI as how much flexion you see. 'Course a 5-ton is a might heavier than a deuce...

No, I'm not an accredited teacher per se. Doing GED courses under military auspices was outside the Arizona regulations, but the curriculum wasn't difficult for me to grasp. My two classes were 100% successful. Plus, having a wife with a PhD in English literature was a real benefit as she...

If you are going to run big singles, you might flip the rear hubs. Not too difficult to do. Pull the axle shaft, then the hub. Drive out the wheel studs and reinsert the other way. Mount the hub flange out, the bearings have the same cup number. New seals might be in order, but seal the...

Well, the male & female connectors are dimensionally unique in the automotive wiring world. They have been since the days of the Douglas metal shell cover connector days (over 70 years). The current tactical connectors are referred to as Packard type. Commercial parts are close, but not the...

I taught GED courses to military dependents. Having the entire library with hundreds of TM's and white papers available before and after class was really enlightening in the MV data section.
