I went back to the spot of the original picture from when I first brought the truck home to do a before and after. There's 5 years, 3 months and many mods in between the two. I've done so much to it that I'm starting to run out of projects 😬

The stock muffler is pretty effective at reducing noise. I didn't realize how much so until I took mine off...

Today my brother and I got the level wind installed and functional. It turned out to be a 45,000 lb unit from the rear winch of a M816 or M936 so 3 of the 4 mounting holes had to be altered and all of the movements were froze up. All the lower fittings of the trolley were caked up solid so...

I wonder if it could be part of an oil filter?

@WillWagner might recognize it if it's from the engine

I bet the silicone boots might withstand the elements a bit better. I think those are 1-piece units.

That does sound like a good deal and it looks pretty nice - almost as cool as an M813!...;)

I thought I was looking at a current auction listing but that looks like an expired one. Dang...

Idaho Motor Pool is auctioning off a pile of blank SF97 forms (real ones) this month. Just thought I'd mention that, you know, for academic purposes... https://jbsauctions.hibid.com/catalog/168277/idaho-motor-pool-military-surplus-reduction-auction/?cpage=3

Good to hear!

Spring is trying to make a comeback here and I'm finally pursuing little projects again. I picked up a set of black rivets and added the missing data plates to the side of the bed.

FYI...When I did my front frame-to-axle hose I found out that the M35 and the M809s used different hoses so beware of those advertised as both.

My R&D group has been working with the Festo ADNM multi-stage pneumatic cylinder and it can be configured with up to 5 stages with stroke lengths starting at 1mm and incrementing 1mm at a time. This might be a solution but there are some limitations on stroke size (see pic) and you can't go...

Are they the model 25B?

Is that some sort of companion flange or trunnion or something?

Sounds like a place worth checking out

They also have a solid plastic alternative for mustangs that is not hollow

If you're in Boise I would contact Alex at Idaho Motor Pool up the road in Fruitland. He's retiring this year and is wanting to clear out his inventory. He had brand new 16.00R20 XZLs just this last year and had wheels also. Not sure what his official inventory is right now but I would...
