. Don't try to be too helpful. If you happen to know where the VIN is, leave it alone. The PD folks will be much happier if they use their own wire brush to clean the spot where the number is stamped.

. I wouldn't complain! Old Version, Early Version, either would be fine by me. Especially if all I had to do was get it home. :cool:

. Give the connections a good cleaning with a wire brush, then a little Anti-Oxidation paste and then put the connections back together. Pretty much the same thing that @Keith_J said - with me just being a little more specific on cleaning up "the creeping crud...

. You could call it a Field Of Dreams too... How much fun would it be to have that playground to play in!?

. That sort of thing is a concern for me, but I am just a lowly Citizen. I'm sure it started before then, but back in the 90's large computer companies were working to improve their bottom line. Everything was being pushed "off-shore" to cut manufacturing costs. ECAT - Electronic Card...

. I got you covered @Curtisje . Junction Block picture is below.

. That really is the magic of places like Steel Soldiers - where there are folks who "really know their stuff" and are willing to share.

. Just to stir the pot - I have to say GOOD FOR YOU and all the rest of us for not using "Made in China" parts on your MV and your HMMWV in particular. It just ain't right to have foreign parts on a US military truck. And yeah, I know. The chips and cards and other computer parts aren't...

. Yeah... Some "wire loom" will make your wiring job appear a lot more factory than tape and you will say a lot less bad words if you ever need to work on the wiring in the future. SummitRacing.com is a good source to buy the cloth wire loom.

. That is the only drawback. You can buy and entire ROLL of PEX for less than a big bag of fittings. Sad as it is to say, the brass check valves are expensive - but they "beat the stuffins" out of CPC (Cheap Plastic Crap). Waking up to wet feet because the plastic busted generally won't make...

. Smart move using Zip Ties to test fit it before you spend the time and effort to bolt it in place permanently. Need to think about what happens when somebody behind you has their headlights on high beam. Does that "blind" your camera? Could a different angle work better for you?

. Snagged some Pictures...

. The tracked vehicle looks like something from Star Wars to me. It wouldn't roll under a traffic light - but it sure would be fun to play with!

. Absolutely! And bolting on parts that have "a pedigree" of sorts is definitely designing from scratch. And, like you said too - engineering done by somebody else helps with the drama. I think you could easily post "screen grabs" to show the design elements without any complaints from the...

. Might be a HEMTT - but not enough wheels in the back

. The easy answer on the condition for the idler arm is just like the tie rods. You should "push the swivel" to both extremes and it "shouldn't feel gritty" and so far as wear is concerned if you push it to one extreme or the other - it should not fall back the other direction. In other words...

. They have some really nice guns too!

. Congrats @ToddJK !

. Another way to go is a pintle hook on the side. Your exercise for the day will be hustling it into place. :cool: Picture is one of our member trucks.

. I wondered if maybe it was a home grown shelter to be used as a "tool wagon" for the maintenance group...
