Looks kind of like an MEP-005 https://www.oshkoshequipment.com/products/geninfo/9/MEP-005A-MEP-OO5A

That being said, I don't know if the mounting bolts are the same. If they are I see no reason why you can't use them in both spots. Not like you'll be the one that has to sit there anyway.

According to the TM it is 2 different part numbers for the bottom cushion and the back.

There are several different spring options for the HMMWV depending on how you plan to have your truck set up. There are also several aftermarket spring sets available. The aftermarket springs will be the ones to soften the ride more than the military ones, as a soft ride wasn't on the...

As armored trucks go, the HMMWV wasn't originally designed for armor to begin with, and adding it compromises the truck in lots of other ways. The armor itself is pretty compromised as well. If I had the money for an armored truck of some type, I'd look for one that was armored to begin with...

No worries, you just happen to catch me when I'm sitting in front of my computer.

I do know there was a guy in this area a couple years back that had a truck with a 6 digit vin, that then sold it off to a dealership. That dealership listed it with a 17 digit vin, the last 6 numbers were the truck serial number and I don't remember what they used to fill out the rest of the vin.

It's still just a 6 digit number. I'm pretty sure that's the reason for a code being thrown up in their system; they had to contact State Patrol to verify that it was valid to use or something like that. Once State Patrol or whoever it was verified it was okay in the system, I paid and they...

If you're unsure the condition of your batteries, it's best to do 12V charging to each battery individually to bring them up to full charge before doing anything else. The slave port charger is more just for maintaining a charge, if there is any doubt about charge levels then always go...

I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully you will recover as much as possible and be able to make it to events in the future.

So a couple observations after looking at this style. What it looks like they did (at least to me) was drill the proper size holes in the front side to fit the pintle and the bolts, then the back side they drilled oversized holes to fit spacers. Then they added a plate over the spacer, and...

So this is the picture of the rear "bumper" non airlift type from my M1123. As you can see it's basically a 2"x4" piece of tubing. I haven't taken a closer look, but I would assume that they just cut a hole in the back, insert a piece of tubing that is the right size for the pintle, then weld...

However... Depending on your skill level with machining tools and a welder, the A2 non-airlift rear bumper doesn't use the bracket with the pintle, and just uses some type of tube welded into it.

Looking in the parts manual at the airlift bumper it appears that they do just cut a pocket into the bumper, then add a reinforcement plate to the outside surface to give it additional strength. EDIT: the ECV/REV parts manual has the same design for the airlift pintle where it's a cutout into...

In this case, you can see it was image number 142 and image number 143 for the 2 different versions of the geared hub internals. Then the other thing when looking at parts and different versions of the truck there is the UOC after the description. If you aren't familiar with the UOC...

There is often more than one page/image/list in the parts manual because of the number of differences between the A0/A1 and the A2 trucks. If your manual is new enough (I don't know if they released older parts manuals from before the A2 series, but it's possible there are some out there on the...

if you fold it out, can't you access the ratchet mechanism from the backside, or am I missing something? Sorry, never seen one in person so not sure if it would interfere somehow.

That isn't what I heard. I was under the impression that it got set to the side for that session, and was supposed to be reintroduced the next session, then the covid crap took over. I'm showing both it and the House version have this as their last entry: Jan 13 By resolution, reintroduced...

just to add, my truck is an M1123 and had the clean SF-97 paperwork. No inspection required or anything else. 2 years ago the DMV at the state level put out a letter to all offices telling them NOT to license any military surplus truck unless the owner could prove it had an FMVSS decal on...
