. Can't wait to see it with some green paint on it!

. Curiosity Question @rustystud : Is that annual replacement for the rubber diaphragms in air brake chambers a requirement for passenger hauling vehicles?

. Sorry Buddy... Thought you would get it. Cheap Professional (Wh@r#). Being worked like a cheap . . . . . No! There is nothing cheap in this hobby.

. Yes Sir! That little tow bar will work you like a Cheap Professional for sure.

. So neat... Wow!

. Looks Good @chucky ! Only excitement would be roaring down the highway and the cable let go... That would be really exciting.

. True. It looks more like some sort of casting mark.

. The books that you are looking for are not released for public consumption and are not posted here. TM 5-4210-219-10 (Operators) TM 5-4210-219-24 (Maintenance & Overhaul) TM 5-4210-219-24P (Technical) Sure would like to see some pictures...

. Yes Sir. I planned to say what you did @Guyfang , but the OP had asked for hard copy books.

. Funny how it works. I believe that sometimes the equipment would bring more money if "the stupids" didn't attack in the De-Mil process. Almost like if they possibly had a little training session it might benefit US and THEM. Of course then the purchase price would be more if the wires...

. A local gun show is a possibility. That seems like the best place to get military TM's in person. Otherwise, it is time to search on the bigger on-line sites.

. Normally no, quenching isn't a good thing. Only reason I suggested that was that our welder who always did that job for us did it. Once those plates were welded - they "stayed stuck". The truck would get new torque rods at the 7 year rebuild if the rubber had separated. Going from memory...

. That looks good! Canvas is definitely a little different than the metal would be.

. I have to agree with @Soupermike and @silverstate55 ... Seeing the complete build process really is neat. There is a lot of work that goes into building these trucks!

. I see something different every time you post pictures. This time the magic is the cable hook up front on the winch... Really impressive work!

. . If you still have the factory start button and switch on the dash, it may be worth considering them. At least for testing purposes. Lots of folks have had troubles with a "too much apperage" situation on aftermarket keyed switches.

. Agreed and don't buy a cheap HF double flaring tool. Spend a few bucks and get one that will last as long as you. Mine is over 40 years old now and it still works as well as the day that I bought it.

. One of the magical parts of this website is the section called Technical Manuals. The books that you need to repair anything that you need fixed on a military HMMWV is here. That requires lots of effort on your part - No question about that. Dirty hands, oil drops on your clean white...

. Ahhh... Yes sir. Without the right tools to do that bend, buying "pre-bent corners" that you will have to weld is about the only other choice. That would require good welding and lots of grinding and "making it purty". I have seen them before and I think @chucky very recently had a post...

. I rummaged a few books that I have. Specifically in the Shop Manual on the 19-MD model, Fuses F1 F15 F17 and Relays R1 R7 control the Boom Lowering function. Here are the books that I have. Page 288 in the shop manual is trouble shooting for lowering the boom. (in ShopManual 03, Printed Page...
