    BEOD Mounting

    I found this pic as well. So now I'm going to have to get the roof top rack on there as a spot to store my spare tire, and now I know how to tie down the antenna as well.

    BEOD Mounting

    Looks like I need to get the airlift bumper if I want to be able to use the steps up and stand on the roof. or just a short ladder.

    Nice to know it's not just me going insane (or at least not in this instance)

    BEOD Mounting

    Since I have you here, I was told there was some type of bracket on the inside of the windshield frame that the roof top rack bolted to. Do you remember what it looked like? Was it just a flat piece of steel, or was it maybe some type of angled piece that went over the top of the frame and...

    BEOD Mounting

    95% certain they are supposed to fill in where the rear passenger seats go, but they just don't fit the space properly in my truck, the seat base seems to be in the way as well as some type of power plug behind the battery box. I don't plan to put them in at this time, as I'm keeping my tire...

    BEOD Mounting

    Kind of glad you didn't then. First 2 went for halfway decent prices, the next 3 went for more. I got the last of the 5 auctioned and paid the 2nd highest price of the 5. I'm not sure how many of them had the doors and stuff, but glancing through the pics all 5 had a bunch of stuff piled in...

    Just purchased 99 m998 and can’t start

    If you get a chance can you PM me some pics of the antenna and anything else? Thanks

    Just purchased 99 m998 and can’t start

    I very well might, I'm in the process of getting my Ham license (just got back from class actually) so I'm very interested if the price is right.

    X doors

    You aren't supposed to link to live auctions or sales on ebay to my understanding.

    MEP004 to run a welder

    Yes, generator is 3 phase only, and so is your welder, so they should pair up well together.

    BEOD Mounting

    There were recently 5 of them sold on GP from the local yard. No idea if or when any more will make it to sale, as it wasn't a very high volume item for the Army to begin with (my EOD buddy estimates maybe 500 were made total). From the outside it looks almost identical to the larger contact...

    MEP004 to run a welder

    the 60% duty cycle is if you have the welder turned up to higher amperage, then you have to stop and let it cool down once in a while. If you run at or below the 100% duty cycle rating you never have to stop welding. The MEP004 should be 15kw at 60hz, the 400 Hz machine uses the same engine...

    MEP 802A / 803A Gov Auctions

    There were more than 50 of them in my local yard when I was there a few weeks ago, mostly 803's.

    HMMWV / M1123 Random Brackets - help me identify

    I didn't see those particular pieces, but I had a bunch of random brackets, bolts, and plates all over the truck. My guess would also be part of the armor kit that was removed.

    No windshield M1123 - what parts do I need?

    That seems like a very reasonable price. I know with shipping I spent $210 for the 2 pieces of glass, and my total for everything was probably closer to $350 or $400 with everything shipped (I have 8 extras of the top retainers though, it was cheaper to buy a 10 pack on ebay than 2 individual...

    BEOD Mounting

    I just got mine on today. in my truck there were 2 holes in the correct location for mounting the beod, several inches towards the outside of the truck from the tie downs. The soft top I have on is just a standard 2 man soft top, where the velcro strip is that would connect to the soft top...

    BEOD Mounting

    Did you remove any of the tie down points inside the bed of the truck? Looking at mine it's hard to tell whether they need to be removed or if the unit's frame will sit on top of them. The reason I ask is because just looking at the front mounting brackets, it looks like they are just the...

    BEOD Mounting

    I'm just about ready to install mine. It looks like the holes for the front brackets will line up, but in the rear I will have to drill 3 holes through the bed to bolt it down. I have 2 1/2"x2" aluminum bars with holes drilled in them to clamp it down to the bed and frame. Mine is the 1123...

    What year is it, REALLY?

    The serial doesn't really mean anything on these trucks anyway, nor does the age matter much. Going by the model number and any MWO tags on the frame are all that really matter.
