Welcome aboard. Go through the TM Operators manual to completely familiarize yourself with the truck. I would make sure to travel with silicone brake fluid (what the military used) and a fuel filter as well. Check all fluids, change if they need it, otherwise you can do a complete PM when you...

The data plate business must do something to warp your mind. The previous owner had many ghost like tendencies as well. Figured it would be better with the new owner but by all reports, it's just the same. Gotta be the ink in the screenings.

$20 a day for the next 27 days will net you $540 to get you to the rally. Only 27 days left until the official start of the rally. 22 days for a few others. Time is of the essence.

JDub, was going to bring mine but it has a crack in it. I've committed to buying the set from Bobby so I'll use that. Doesn't need to be that tall. Figure I can make a base that I can park the truck on and slide the pole over it.

I had mentioned this earlier. I have 3 HMMWV 37" goodyears on 12 bolt rims. I will only pack them if presold. I will post pics in the AM. Tread guestimate is 85%, will adjust price if I'm off. Looking for $225 for the 3 of them. Need smaller tires on the -A3 trailer!

I know it to be true with a DS-4 injection pump. Are any of the HMMWVs running DS-4s? I thought they were all DB-2s.

We really need to get some pics of that truck besides JW4x4s Trucktor with it's 9' dropside bed.

And spare bulbs fit in the glove box.

Rest assured, you can put the winch on your M185A3.

I would avoid the stack like the plague. Enjoy the silence. Winch? Of course. Any M44 series truck winch components will bolt on but the gasser prop shaft is different.

I missed that! Super cool job. Is the unit loud? I did an in dash ad on to an 88V3500 crew cab and the unit sounded like a jet taking off inside.

If you make your entire vehicle 24V then you could use the drop resistor. The CUCV itself used both voltages. From the factory it had the resistor to drop the voltage for the glowplugs. Many folks move the supply to the buss on the firewall which is 12V. If you make it a hybrid 12/24V system...

Got more pics of the install? It looks great. Love the location of the blackout switches. Is this a heat/cool combo?

Gotcha on that. I was thinking regualr headlights. I had to delete the link as it's prohibited but thanks!

Searching with the terms you listed, I find nothing! Sounds interesting though.

Why not do both. Restore this, add radios and a few up to date ammenities then get an M105 to tow behind. Tons of goodies can be crammed in an M105. There are even a few examples of them being converted to campers. You could also put an S250 in the M105 and move your comms or camp quarters...

Simply add a 12V starter and you are golden. The alternators are isolated ground so if you swap them out for something more current, offer up the alts and brackets for sale. There are always buyers for that stuff.

Thinking flagpole at the registration AO. Bobby, I'll take one as well. Pack it for easy access, I need to get the flag up pretty quick.

I swore off 5 tons many years ago. I keep a 5 ton brake drum in the yard. Everytime I feel the need for a 5 ton, I go drag that drum across the yard. The desire goes away. Papabear has a Troy to move drums.

Guess I'll have to put my attendants seat back in the ambulance just in case! LOL
