Here are some pictures of ULCANS netting. You can see the difference between the screen-like inner mesh and the fishing net on the LWCS. Cheers

You have the LWCS. There should probably be more Ls and Ss in there, but that's what we called it in the Marines. :razz: I've extensively used both types of netting, though mainly the older LWCS. The LWCS can be a real pain to put up/take down because they hang up on everything! It is...

All very interesting, thank you all for the input. [thumbzup] As mentioned before, the shelter is a mystery unit with absolutely no identifying data plates on it, and no sign that it ever had any. One of very few S-787/8s I have seen with none. It only stands to reason though, as the trailer...

As stated above, all the controls are inside the shelter. Batteries and fuel tank are on the trailer (or, if the shelter was mounted in a Humvee, it would tap both from the vehicle). From what I have reviewed in the manuals, the head is the MEP-802A. The LPW2 engine appears to be the same as...

Agreed! MEP-802A it is. I haven't seen one in that state of undress before. Kavesman, thank you. No data plate (frustratingly, none anywhere, on generator or shelter). But I now have no doubt you are correct on the ID. And the number of hours - it shows 100.8 on the Hobbs. Triple Jim -...

Well, yes..... I don't know the identity of the generator, but I'm not a bloody moron....;-)

Certainly! I was trying to get as much detail as possible in the pictures, since the site makes them so little. Cheers

I bought an S-788 shelter from a junk dealer. In the front tunnel was some sort of machine, completely enveloped in nasty rotted insulation, which he said was a pump because it has a hose fitting on it. I didn't care what it was, I just wanted the shelter and it was super cheap. On getting it...

Here are some pictures of a military CJ-5 with a hard top. These came from a for 'sale ad' on the net a couple or so years ago. Cheers

TVA as in Tennessee Valley Authority? Cheers

Cool trailers! [thumbzup] I have seen something similar on M416s, there is a thread on here somewhere with some pictures. Cheers

Pigpen, if you are planning on restoring the trailer to full MICLIC configuration, there are some boxes down in this area that are probably available. If you are not going to restore it, and want to dispose of the MICLIC-related parts, my son is restoring one but it is missing that whole...

Yessir. He departed this earth for the last time on January 16th. https://www.nasa.gov/astronautprofiles/cernan Picture is of Cernan on the moon, December 1972 Cheers

Rest well, sir. Cheers

They were used in some numbers "off the shelf" (ie, stock civilian, no military mods other than paint and items like fire extinguishers) by almost all the services. The USAF used a lot of them, particularly the Air/Security Police. Same for CJ-7 and other civvy trucks. Cheers

I'm always a bit suspicious of these "low mileage" CUCVs, and would be especially so of one with a claimed 20k original miles being parted out. I find they rejuvenate themselves over time (kinda Dr Who thing). For instance, I have an M1009 with only 12,000 miles on the clock. About 6 years...

Bowtie, thank you for taking the time to post your solution. As you said, all too often that step is neglected on here. Rookie, as mentioned above, the flashers are activated by unlocking the arm and moving it all the way to the right. The photos attached show how the two most commonly...

Good luck! Cheers

The site software smashes the pictures to very low quality, even if you have carefully sized the picture to below 100kb... :-? Maybe you will be able to read the plate on this one.... Cheers
