Got thinking about this a few years back when I got my 802a. Nice thing to keep around. I already had the standard ABC powder FE in my HMMWV - since I'd updated to the OEM high-back seats, it went right by the seat on the floor where it's out of the way and easily accessible (some mechanical...

Keep your eye on the evil auction site (epay). These come up from time to time when someone buys a pallet load of them from gov't planet or other auction sites, or if they cannibalize their broken gensets. I found a good used starter for $85 and about $12 postage (IIRC), a NEW alternator for...

Which fuse? I’ll be happy to send you one. I’ll order a couple from amazon or epay for you. PM me your address and details on the fuse you need (the quad protection one or the other one). Norm

Seems to be. Took me a few minutes one day to troubleshoot this one. When all else fails, read the manual(s).

Ditto that. I got a set/kit for around $750 two years ago, took me six months to work up enough gumption to do the installation, but it went smoothly per plans. Except for the clearance cut inside the battery box for the seat bolt- couldn’t read the number on the drawings and missed it by...

Welcome to the madness. Post pics when you can.

Exactly what he said. Keep the welder ground wire close to where you’re working. But definitely make sure every battery’s connection to ground is open if you decide to do that.

I did this about a year ago. YUGE difference compared with old style. Replaced arms, too. Wasn’t cheap, but didn’t break the bank either.

Look for Marvin's aviation comm system online. Great unit, I forget which model I bought. Often available through ePay, with a good headset you can save your hearing for future generations to damage with all their screaming around the house. You can also plug your cellphone/iPod into some of...

Welcome to the madness. Post pictures when you get a chance.

And a hearty welcome from Tennessee by way of Maryland (4 more years until retirement to TN). Post pictures when you get a chance. Welcome to the madness.

My sister likes fast cars. Runs a go-fast goodies shop (among other things). She set a world’s record with a Dodge Demon last year of around 210mph (officially I think it was 202 by radar), been in all the magazines. She helps organize an annual fast-car run down I-95 from something like WPB...

True story. When I was stationed in Augsburg, FRG sometime around 80-83 there was a case of some GI who had gotten SO tired of “the herms” tailgating (typical of American drivers, he wasn’t going to move over for ANYONE although German law requires it of slower drivers, friend of mine lost his...

Finally got around to mounting a 2” trailer hitch so I’d have something to mount last years Christmas present - a tailgater deterrence device. Milled out a 1/2x3” notch on the bottom of the reinforcement plate, then 3/8” off the pintle cone so the nut would seat. This’ll come in handy when I...

So the shallow U-bracket goes across the plate, number plates go over it, the half-moon piece (w/ detents I hadn’t noticed until you mentioned them) holds everything in place. piece of angle bracket’s extra unless it’s getting mounted to a bumper or something. Thanks.

I was planning on putting 92 on mine (mfd 12-91). So I got to looking at the kit - there’s no instructions. How do the pieces stay put? Even looking at yours, I can’t figure out how that half-moon plate at top stays in place. Don’t mind drilling holes in the hood and stiffener below, have...

Thanks. Ft. Meade's on my list of places to visit soon again anyway (I used to work there, not far), I was hoping to avoid trying to track down someone who could give me a direct answer. I'm more into IFR these days, flying my desktop around the web.

1 - what TM covers this, or is it buried in the M998 TMs somewhere? 2 - where, exactly, is this plate SUPPOSED to be mounted. I doubt military regs say anything along the lines of "typically placed in or around the right front fender, bumper, brush guard (or wherever your unit interior...

Does ANYONE know the exact location for these plates? I’ve seen this photo, and several more showing them more towards the front of the hood, many more on the front blocking air flow, and occasionally off to the right front of the brush guard. As my drill sergeant would say “a place for...

Looks like a clean, sweet ride. And, for you and your wife: welcome to the madness. Enjoy.
