. Thanks @justinn . I made a minor edit to my original post.

. @Vic_949 , I think you have gotten a lot of answers - but I don't think we have answered the NATO wiring question that you had when I explained what a Slave Port was for. My apologies. What you need to know - from the Slave Port: The single pin that pokes out is the POSITIVE Post The...

. Slave Port is on all military vehicles. Tanks, Trucks, MEP's ... It is a way to get power to start without connecting accidentally hooking plus to minus or 24v onto a 12v system. It's a CYA kind of thing.

. Neat Idea... Never even considered Talc before. Be careful though because the lawyers are after people who manufacture that stuff. :-(

. Well said @TechnoWeenie ! Nothing like spare parts ON HAND when you need them. A tow on most MV's are gonna be more than a few hundred bucks for sure!.

. I have had a truck that experienced the pull to the right. Solution was a replacement brake caliper. The problem would "come and go" and stayed gone with the replacement caliper. Your adjusters are in correctly on that picture. Best way to test it - after assembly - is to work the...

. Agreed. Unless the guy before you put the self-adjusters in backward. It is amazing how often that happens.

. Dang! I am impressed. You had mentioned earlier that you were expecting Bows and a Cover. I was hoping somebody wouldn't "liberate" those parts before you got there to pick up the trailer. Glad that you made it home safe and sound!

. Welcome to the Outfit! Hope you can find a way to have some green or tan adventures.

. Funny how that backfire thing could be made to happen. It was a lot of fun to make it pop when somebody was walking down the sidewalk. And, if you busted the muffler on your school bus you were fired. No discussion. Just fired... No, I wasn't ever fired :cool:

. Yes sir, @TomTime is correct and you need them. Be sure to download the TM's (Technical Manuals) here. Those books will explain how they are used and why you need them - especially the TM 5-6115-465-10-HR. The "dash ten" is kinda like the "operators manual". You created your own thread, so...

. That is an amazing buggy! Not so sure that kind of adventure is for me - but DANG it is cool! I don't think I could give you any worthwhile comments on the HMMWV durability - but I'd bet some of the other guys will jump in here and throw down some opinions...

. Everybody has an opinion, but a little RTV to hold the gasket in place while you put on whatever pan (valve cover, timing cover, water pump, etc) in position REALLY is a way to hold gaskets so they don't slip. At least that is my opinion...

. Yessir, and the muffler that was on it looked a lot like the old Thrush muffler. The boxes they came in over at the local Ace Speed Shop here on Independence Boulevard had the blue and magenta logo on them. Pretty cool stuff back in the day...

. Oh, and did you notice that it has a light kit on the end of the barrel? Tail lights so some goober doesn't run their front window onto the skewer in the dark... Purty Darn Neat!

. Wow! You have a REALLY NICE workshop! This is gonna be a good project to follow too...

. And if you are happy that you can scrape your driveway - or even scrape out to the paved road - then life is good! Right?

. I was hoping for a military tag so we might find a Technical Manual. Seems that maybe this was used by the military? Was it an auction with big green trucks all around? Other than that, I found a shop manual on-line for about $70...

. Hi @AveRageJoe001 , When you want to quote or call attention to more than one person, use the "@" in front of their user name. For example, @DieselAddict and @Daybreak were both "pinged" when I sent this reply.

. Video is good. Pictures that we can crawl through and a story to go with them is more exciting.
