    Tale of two Deuces

    . Big tarp in the bed and laid up over the cab of the truck with several ropes under it - depending on how much sand - then pull the tarp back over the sand. Keeps it from sandblasting the cars behind you. When you get back home, tie both ends of the rope (above and below) to a tree and drive...

    US Air Force lettering

    . All the information you got is good stuff. I never found the actual FONT NAME though. Your dots are square. You need round. That "Oswald" isn't going to be it. Needs to be something a little more old school from back in the day when fonts weren't "freeware" that everybody could download...

    HHMWV Fuel tank leak

    . I would think the wet towel would be a nice way to buffer the possibility of a Big Boom. I always thought the welders I worked with were "partly to mostly crazy" when they would weld on a gas tank. Fill it up with gas. As close to full as possible to have a smaller space for the vapor to...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    . So nice when you figure it out before expending the effort to install a broken (defective) part.

    MEP831a inverter trouble

    . Welcome to the Outfit! Might be a real benefit for you to download the TM's for your MEP. There are troubleshooting flow charts in "them thar books". .

    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    . Coming down the hill from Virginia on I-81 and eventually connecting with I-77, there are three "No BS" runaway truck ramps coming south. Coming down through Fancy Gap, the grade drops you down about 1500 feet in elevation for a six mile downhill run. This is the first ramp: (At about 1...

    Beginning the Journey

    . @Ronmar might want to jump in on this, but reprogramming shift points is partly because through the years of use - things get repaired - and sometimes the changes don't cooperate with the transmission. Parts (TCM etc) get replaced and nothing is done to notify that the engine and so the...

    Beginning the Journey

    . Gotta remember too that the US Military has a much fatter wallet than you (no insult intended). Plus they have just about any amount of money they want to spend in Research & Development. If that fluid was good enough for them - I would bet it would be for you too. There is a way to...

    mgFray's HMMWV from Minnesota

    . Really nice to see your truck in the parade! Glad you were able to find a qualified driver too. Sorry to hear that you managed to contract the creeping cruddy chinese virus. Happy that you survived the WooFlu and have made it to live another day. Next year (or maybe even July 4th or Labor...

    Where to post and share?

    . Wouldn't that be cool!? Pull- A-Part for armored vehicles... They all look a little sad, but the pictures are pretty incredible! .

    Class E in GA still a viable option?

    . Good plan - and like you mentioned earlier in the thread - 4 tires rather than 6 should equal better mileage (minimal) and it will definitely cost you less when you need tires... .

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    . I have heard it said before that if you have a HMMWV and it rains, it rains almost as much inside as out. Kinda like my M1089 when I first got it. It had a leaking turret cover and when it rained - it would fill up an oil drain pan. What a mess! The truck arrived in the middle of the...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    . I'd bet she runs like a race car without that cover! Won't be a lot of fun if it is raining like cats and dogs and you pick up two passengers, but at least YOU would be in the dry. :)

    Blue Ridge Parkway Tour

    . Clingmans Dome. Neat!! In all the times I have been there, it has never been that clear. It seems that when I go, it is always wet, damp, and drizzly.

    Blue Ridge Parkway Tour

    $4 a gallon!

    . I was thinking about a big ole' propeller mounted in the back of the truck. Drive till the battery runs down, then use the wind powered generator - and presto - in about two or three days I will have enough battery power to drive another hundred miles. :cool:

    M1010 Electrical and Headlight Issues

    . So it seems that your New-To-You M1010 brought you here. Welcome to the Outfit! Like the @Mad Texan suggested, pictures under the hood might be useful to your light problem. Pictures of the truck itself would make the rest of us happy. We are definitely "Picture Hounds" here. Again...
