. Heavy Variant means that it was up armored for the "sandbox" action. Could have also been for carrying a comm shelter or similar. Got any pictures?

. Welcome to The Outfit! No more lurking... Time to get to work on your New-To-You truck! :cool: You will definitely need to download the Technical Manuals. Link Below: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m1078-tms.118919/ AND, like @kendelrio mentioned, we need pictures!

. Thanks Mike! Sometimes understanding WHY really is useful.

. Available through Snap-On. NSN's are listed below. PART NO. 41-00011-00 41-00012-00 41-00013-00 41-92000-00 41-95000-00

. Nice looking work!!

. Scope out what @chucky has on the front of his truck. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/winches-front-back-and-frame-mounted.210341/post-2456297 Another guy @Gunny 0369 with a Sherpa has a warning about how you want to bolt it to the truck...

. These trucks in their native form with 4 batteries and the 100 amp alternator just aren't happy sitting around. They have a vampire drain and if they sit for more than two weeks - you will need to charge them. I'm assuming that "taking out frustration" means that you gave the starter a "Love...

. The search engine here is "lacking" in most folks opinion. Using a commercial search engine sometimes does a better job. EXAMPLE: (plug this into your favorite search engine) site:www.steelsoldiers.com " MEP701A" Tells the search engine (DuckDuckGo, Google, Yahoo, etc) to search site...

. Welcome to The Outfit! You mentioned being a proud owner of a New-To-You M817, so we need to point out that we have the books for that vehicle. Might be a good resource for troubleshooting and general maintenance... Link Below...

. Welcome to the Outfit! You are posting under the "Requirements for New Members" section and that is a great place to "get your feet wet" here and figure out how the system works. Chance are that you won't get a lot of replies about Mobile Electrical Power here though. It might be worth...

. I know for sure that I have seen HMMWV's with fiberglass "caps" on them. As far as speed goes, just plan on 55 and be happy unless you plan to repower the truck. If you need to run on the Interstate, install some strobe lights up in the top corners. You wouldn't have to be obnoxious with the...

. Agreed that they look similar. The link you sent was for a "two point" and the one on the truck is a "one point". The link looks a lot like the LMTV handle. Might be that I could spend the time to remove one and get more details. Maybe a casting number or something similar...

. Well by golly... Here are some pictures! Don't know that anybody needs the inside latch picture, but somebody may know more with how this thing is configured with those two pics. AND there is a place for a lock - if you knew what kind of lock you (we) would need. .

. Sure would be nice to figure out what the MTVR handles are in the commercial world...

. Guessing that you already have - but have you tried a different agent? They seem to be the key. Some know how the job is done and some are learning the insurance business on your dime.

. Like @Guyfang said - Welcome to the Outfit! Jump on in, post us up some pictures and tell us all about your new-to-you truck. Technical Manuals (TM's) are here too if you need troubleshooting help... And, if you just plan to rework it to your way of thinking think about her as a 1983 Chevy...

. Well, if you ordered a gallon at $89.99 - that doesn't qualify for the $99 mimimum for free shipping. Don't think a gallon would cover the battery hold-down in an old paint roller tray... If you got a 5 gallon bucket for $379 with free Shipping - maybe you could dip several hold downs and a...

. Looks like you have a nice starting point. AND a pretty fantastic workspace too! .

. Poor mans fix is a block of wood for the batteries to sit on. I have seen a lot of wood in the bottom of battery boxes... You might want to put a block of wood between the batteries too. That will help keep them from moving left/right or front/back. AND if you paint it green - it looks like...

. The poor mans stethoscope is an old broom handle. Round end to your ear and press it against the thing you want to hear. It isn't perfect - but it is a cheap add-on for every toolbox. .
