Personally, I look for something that has a good source for readily available parts. Either for repairs or upgrades to that perfect truck (for you at least as everybody's tastes vary). Unique is always a crowd pleaser but not to the extent that it doesn't get driven and enjoyed because it's too...

Hello All. baby HEMTT is still getting a wrench a day. Setting up walkways and spare tire carrier today. When the last of the bigger parts are in/on I'll shoot some more pics for all to enjoy. Side racks for the bed are up and on. Went with a more "cargo" look than the troop seats. Doing some...

Low voltage yard lights with ground spikes.

Look into www.isspro.com too. I've got their pyrometer and boost gauge and have had good luck with them. The HEMTT dashs have a bunch of gauges so two more fit right in. For the deuces,we've made an aux. panel that mounts to the windshield frame so the drivers don't have to take their eyes too...

Good idea on cleaning out the fuel tank! If you have rust in there and can't find a better tank, try this. With the tank out and drained, pour about five or ten bucks worth of pennies in there; rock & shake the tank and the pennies will break loose the loose rust and scale. Do this 'til you...

RE: Parts.. As a rule of thumb for oil pressure; 10# per 1,000 RPM is sufficient to keep an engine alive. More is better to a point; you can actually have too much oil pressure and wash the bearings out by shoving dirty oil across them at high pressure (high velocity fluid erosion if you want...

RE: cover Nope, just put out for general info to all. Sorry you had bad luck with him. I've had good responses to my questions, always get what I need; and it's right the first time.

RE: Cover beltfed34 (Austin Aviation) has some perforated metal radio covers on ebay. Take a look and see if that's what you had in mind.

Have your buddy pm or email me and I'll see if I can't lend a hand.

What kind of help?

The inverted vee is standard but I think I read in his post the the chevrons pointed all directions; that's why I thought platoon markings.

You're right. I think I just lump all night vision gear together for conversation's sake. Most of the later equipment, FLIR and PTIS, is going the thermal imaging direction; while a lot of stuff in the field, especially hand-held, is still passive light amplification. The passive light amp gear...

Stamped sheetmetal tube with a screen in the end. Screen-end first, they slide about an inch in then turn so the tabs clear then will drop in flush with the top of the tank. If filling with jeep cans, the strainer can be pulled up and becomes a filler neck to cut down on spillage. Everything...

Great! Will keep our fingers crossed for your bro. Hope he's successful.

If pointed in different directions; they are platoon identifiers. ^ is 1st or scout platoon, > is 2nd or mortar platoon, V is 3rd, < is 4th, vees one over the other with points facing away is 5th, <> is 6th. AR 746-2 covers their use and application, used primarily on armor. Inverted vee with...

Not sure of the purpose but I've seen a single red light in there. Not armored or black out. Maybe for responding to accidents?!? Accident response for the military has a whole bunch of different things thrown into the mix that Joe's Tow or the automobile club would likely never see. M.P. HMMWVs...

High, almost up to the flat, is a civilian style turn signal. Lower is the military B.O. park/turn signal.

RE: Re: RE: Aftermarket reduction transmission? Have to get my notes out to be sure but it's either SAE 2 or 3. Don't remember which one right off the top of my head.

Rather than tacking a second gearbox onto the existing transmission; another consideration might be a 9 or 13 speed out of an 18-wheeler with built-in over/under capabilities. Theoretically, anything with an unmarried trans/transfer case could be made to accept an aux. trans. but it would...

Knucklehead, Thanks for the offer. I don't personally need any plates but wanted to say that your generosity, and that of other SS members, is one of the things that makes this site so great.
