OK, here's the idea. I want to use a 120 volt air conditioner (window unit maybe) in my M886 box. I may even put a unit on top. I was thinking of keeping a 120 volt generator on the vehicle but then I thought, could I use a 1500 watt or bigger inverter and install a larger alternator on the...

My cousin has an empty goose neck trailer going to Florida this week and can haul some stuff down. I'll get him to post details later, I just wanted to give you all a heads up if you need something hauled down. Joe

It seems half of what we do here is brag about our favorite trucks. Well here I go. I have owned several deuces and a few 5 tons, but with out a dout my M886 is now my favorite ride. I have posted pictures of it on the following thread...

I could probably figure this out, but I have spent several hours working on the problem and I am hoping there is a common place to look for the problem. Here's the problem and what I know: I have working head lights, front turn signals, and black out lights all over. I don't know about the...

I am trying to get my 14.00 XL tires to seat up on the ODIron wheels and I am having no luck. When I say no luck, the tire shop that mounted them couldn't get them to pop up even with 2 cheata tanks. Is there a trick to getting these things to hold air and once they are up, if they leak down do...

I have been looking and not finding info on this shelter. I think it is for a HMMWV. I was wanting to find the dimensions for it. Anybody know what TM this is in or where I might find it. I looked around the TM's here but couldn't find one that had it (I could have over looked it, I've done that...

I couldn't stand the red and white paint any more so I sprayed the M886 last week. I think it looks much better. Now if I only had time to work on it.

Yes, I know Dodge installed electrical problems at the factory, but seriously, my new M886 is not working well. There appears to be a problem between the battery and the starter relay. It gets fire once in a while to the distributor but when using the key it will either not turn over, or it...

Don't try this at home, but I just happened to have a camera with me today as I did my gravity/tree assisted unloading. Watch the trees at the back of the truck as it stops. And yes, I know I need help.

I was talking with a dude while I was picking up something from GSA and we where talking about recent purchases. When he found out I bought a deuce with electric wipers he offered me $350.00 for the set up. I am very temped to let him have them. Are they really worth that? Joe Trapp

I need to start painting several vehciles, one being the M8?? I just bought and I was wondering how you guys get paint like Gillespie? I have bought it in the past but it was always at Aberdeen so shipping was not an issue. If I have to order it who is the best at having it on their shelf? And...

I just met a guy that needs a transfer case from an old wrecker. He looked at our M543 and it is not what he needs. He saw one in a 52 (?) Internation that would work, but he don't know what M number it was. He said it needs two rear PTO's to run the winches. Any of you guys know of a place...

I just won the best truck out of the batch at Ft. Jackson. Still watching inferior trucks go for more. Did I need this truck? Don't matter now.

I was talking with someone about emergency preparedness and they wanted me to let them know if I ran across any former military vehicles that didn't have much electronics in them so they would not be disabled by an EM pulse (if I am talking about the right thing). So the question is: Will the...

Happy Thanksgiving. I have been encouraged to become a ham radio operator and know nothing about them. I assume some of these radios I see at shows in trucks and stuff broadcast on amature radio frequencies. I will one day need a radio and was wondering if any of you guys are experts on the...

OK guys, I have found the problem with our M813 and now runs like a champ. For the last couple of years it has sat around and was really hard to crank. It was a fuel leak on a little 1/4" plastic line all this time. Fixed that and it can sit for days and fire right up with a few seconds of...

Well this seems like as good a place as any to post this. My wife says I have too much stuff. That's a good reason to sell it I guess. Pictured below is what I have pulled out of the woods so far. About 1/3 is still in the woods. Most, if not all of it, will be finding a new home, either...

For those of you who might be interested, Celebrate Freedom foundation is having it's annual show at Ft. Jackson this weekend. It's free admission from 9:00 to 16:00 hours on Saturday. I am looking at the flyer right now but I think there is info on the web site at...

This will probably be considered off topic my most but I have had a good experience and wanted to share it with my South Carolina brothers. I posted it here in the safety section because I will be packing heat in my MV while in SC and the other states that honor my CWP. I just got my CWP in...

Well I hate to do it, but I am going to have to sell my truck :cry: I will post something in the classified next week but I just wanted to give everybody that might be interesting in driving or looking over the truck a chance to visit and do just that before it goes. I need to sell it over...
