    goldneagle's M923 recovery and modification thread

    I already came up with 3 more really good ideas for the truck security. I also have a security that cannot be defeated- it's called insurance.

    goldneagle's M923 recovery and modification thread

    It's a real good primer. It was thick from the time I got it. Really good coverage. Stain blocker too... I know that the floor will be well protected under the floor mat once I get the Polyurethane top coats done! I used the same primer and paint on the M109A2 cab floor.

    goldneagle's M923 recovery and modification thread

    Today was a busy day. I started by removing the driver's seat. Glad to see that torture device go! Next i cleaned and vacuumed the the cab floor thoroughly. I used some Acetone to clean the floor area in front of the driver seat location. Looked oily! Using a 2" brush i primed the entire...

    I have already driven the truck with the new valves installed. Almost 1-1/2 hours each way and the handle survived. In the ON position the handle will be further from the exhaust. I do appreciate your concern. I will keep an eye on it (especially during summer time)

    If it melts I will not loose any sleep over it. It will not effect the functionality of the valve. I will keep an eye on it anyway. If it melts I will just paint the handle with some good paint.

    That is exactly what I always say "no need to reinvent the wheel" I post here with the intent that other can benefit from my ideas. Glad you like my work. Wait until you see the seat setup I have planned for the cab!

    goldneagle's M923 recovery and modification thread

    I installed the 2 Red LED marker lights today. That finishes the marker light installation. Will paint the housings when the weather is warmer. Second item on my list today was the coolant filter installation. I cut a 14" long piece of 2 by 2 angle. (leftover from the shelving inside the...

    All LED tailights sold as inoperative; I could not repair

    Since the ground wire goes to the mounting screws anyway, i would have taken the military connector off the wire and attached a ring terminal. You have to remove the 2 bolts to take out the light so you don't need the inline plug for the ground.

    Show me your Bobbed M923

    I would not ruin a good m923 with a bob job! There are lots of M931 out there that can be used. The M931 go for a lot less $$$$. Put a M105 bed on it.

    All LED tailights sold as inoperative; I could not repair

    $40 to just tinker? We used to get them for $35 new (if I remember correctly) from a member here on SS. Got 2 pairs. One for the M109 and the 2nd went on the M923.

    All LED tailights sold as inoperative; I could not repair

    I have bought stuff from this seller before. He sells junk for top dollar-in my opinion. He still has this BS disclaimer on his auctions " I do this as a HOBBY not a business, so, therefore, my normal job takes precedence. IF you have to have your item next day or expect me to take a ration...

    goldneagle's M923 recovery and modification thread

    No actual work was done to the truck today. I did go to NAPA and pick up 4 feet of 5/8" ID heater hose and 2 clamps. I also dug through my storage building and found the Gliden Primer, Porch Polyurethane Gloss Paint, and Dupli_Color truck bed paint. I am still trying to decide whether to use...

    M923 Secret switch install

    I just did it to my M923. You run the ground from the NATO receptacle and the ground to the frame together to bolt #1 on the switch. You run a cable from the Negative battery terminal to the #2 bolt on the switch. (I think the ground on the NATO receptacle is grounded to the body)
