I drilled two holes for 1/4-20 rivnuts in the body below the tail light, fabricated an aluminum c-channel to bolt to IT and a license plate frame/light I tapped into the park light feed. I did this before hanging the airlift bumper, had plenty of room to clear it when I did the upgrade. I...

Ditto. Even better would be rolled edges top/front - little overkill but one less thing for wind noise - maybe - keep road grime/mud out from underneath. Either way, PM me a quote for one, I’ll contemplate it. Thanks.

Finally got around to replacing one of the wheels/tires on my trailer yesterday. Chased threads, new nuts, haven't torqued yet - it's not going anywhere until I do the left side. Meant to do that today, but remembered I needed to get up on the roof with some tar and seal around our chimney...

Duh. I meant the NON-obvious hinge to the hatch/cover. NB

Very cool. How did you mount the hinge? Countersunk/flush rivets? Welded?

About that tongue weight...

And if you think you see some in public, give 'em the hi sign:

I'll go with "Bad Military Gauges and Wiring" for $500, Alex. Just one word. DVM. Digital Volt Meter. Well, an acronym then, but what would a foray into military vehicles be without acronyms? Find one. Learn to use it. I own a couple, one in my truck, one in my HMMWV (both Radio Shack auto...

The one that blocks out the light (and outside air, coincidentally). :) I just reread your post. It’s not the HEATER, but the VENT. On the right side of the commander’s seat footwell. Look outside the truck forward of the door and you’ll see a couple of louvers. INSIDE is a control plate...

And make sure the outside vent is closed. Finally occurred to me to do this. Less forced air cooling equals more heat.

MILSPEC is good too, brackets are available from many sources to mount in/outside truck or on bumper. You DID specify “best way” which is debatable. Having a detachable, portable “tank” if you run out of fuel is a plus in my mind. YMMV (see what I did there?).

Thanks, Juan. Too narrow a bandwidth for my needs. 115mHz and 150mHz frequencies. Did a bit of poking around, found on NSN-now.com: 5985-01-110-1051 if anyone else is looking.

"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds." - Ralph Waldo Emerson I've always been amazed at how foolishly inconsistent the military is with things like painting shiny bolt heads while leaving highly reflective red/amber reflectors and plastic lenses and even clear plastic...

Nothing but a UPS label (other side). No other markings/warnings top/bottom/sides. Seems like Jeffrey “Dr. Evil” Bezos is cutting some corners to make his first Trillion.

INteresting data points to share. At the advice of several here, I blew a few hundred dollars on a carbon pile battery load tester (Solar brand - read through several dozen reviews, looked into Snap-on, Su, and other mfrs three times as expensive new/used), 1000 Amp, selectable voltage/current...

1. No. Humvee not equal to HMMWV. Eagle front caliper same as military front. Not rear. 2. If, possiby, maybe. MILSPEC’s your best bet for the job. Good question though. Maybe some of the old-times like Retiredwarhorse can chime in. I’ve assumed DoD, although going with the lowest...

Purple love note was 100 Baht/$20. Been a LONG time. Thanks for the memory check

Coonhunter? Y'all aren't from around here, are you? :shock: Please post details of: make, model, engine, transmission, transfer case, etc. Mileage is irrelevant, speedometer/engine/trans/TC swaps are about as common as 20 Baht love notes. Pictures might be helpful, too. Drippage. Someone...

Gonna pretty it up for the occasion, too? I like the suggestion DCIV made. Maybe a simple set of wooden stairs with plywood sides, floral decorations, use once, throw away, or set up next to your trailer someday :wink: Congratulations by the way.

Thanks. Way past all that. Cleaned up contacts last year, and a couple hours this past weekend. Used cleaners, wire brush, good contact all around. Bad battery when jumped, or replaced, turns over engine. Rest of circuit is fine. New battery's on its way. Low wattage heaters applied under...
