. My M1088 has a hole cut in the top - where a turret should have been. Self Contained AC runs off an Inverter. Just couldn't make myself paint it green...

. Looking Good! Sounded nice as it came to life after a long winter's nap. .

. I seem to remember you mentioning that chrome wasn't going to be acceptable according the the head of the Finance Department :cool: . Yes sir... Better make it how you want it because she does know how to use a paint brush too. Project is moving forward for sure. Looking good! .

. Yeah well... Isn't like that has been your full time job. Again, it is really sharp looking!

. You definitely have a nice looking machine. Lots of scuffing and blasting and painting - but it looks better than the day it was delivered to the Army .

. All smiles in that jeep! That is so neat. Good progress made!

. This is really neat. Especially slipping down below the tree line. I'm coming for you... DC-3 with Invasion Stripes. Pretty dang cool!

. Rhino 5/4 , Looks like you made it home safe. Yeah, for all the comments we all made I guess we skipped over the idea that the towing vehicle needs (should be) bigger than what you were towing. Best part is that nothing bad happened - AND - you won't likely do that again. The rotating...

. Had to snag a couple of pictures out of that video. Pretty neat... If you didn't know exactly what it was - that turn to inbound - and angling down low could sure make your heart race!

. So far all I have come up with is Old Wild Women V. I came up with Ornery for a possibility... The V, well I came up with something for that - but it might not be PG rated... Was hoping somebody might come up with a better idea.

. Agreed! On my 83 (plain Chevy truck) pumped full of gas, I could drive for a week before the needle moved off of full. Not a long ride to work, so that seemed reasonable to me. @DIVE DIVE, I think the measurements that you have done are pretty useful. Now you know that at a Quarter Tank -...

. Hi Vince, Welcome to the Outfit! I had no idea where Winterville is/was, so I went and poked the web and found it close to Greenville NC. Sorry you are so close to Raleigh. Not much of anything comes out of there. Just taxes and legislation that isn't very useful. :-( If you get a chance to...

. It really is amazing how buying better quality tools make life so much better... Even that can be the old "Good, Better, Best" proposition. Having FUN doing a project and not fighting the tools - well - it just makes the job easier. Glad it worked out well for you. Vacation is a good thing...

. Light Up The Night for Sure!

. @Warhound_01 You also mentioned Pacific North West... Might be worth reading the thread below. Got a MV Rally (Show) that might be a good place to meet people with similar interests and parts for sale. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/pnw-info-thread.77974/page-115#

. Welcome @Warhound_01 ! Welcome to the Outfit! Be sure to create yourself a thread in the HMMWV section with pictures of your new-to-you truck. Maybe snag one or two of the auction pix and then when you go pick it up. Heck, might even take pictures if you go recover it yourself... Anyhow...

. If they were NOS (New Old Stock) parts, problem could have just been stored in unconditioned space. Not especially with good temperature and humidity control - and in the dark - not exposed to UV (think fluorescent lighting). Just a guess. Or like @John S-B suggested where maybe you got a...

. Wow!! That is great news. Anything you can share about what it took to solve the problem? Oh, and by the way - have you tried attaching a Conex to the bed of your truck? With the bottom pins that could (in theory) hold it in place?

. When you open the TM in PDF format, search with "FIND" on a mobile device or CTRL + F on a laptop or desktop computer. Then when you are looking for "359F" the computer can do all the work. It is a real PAIN to hunt down anything in these thousand page books without using search... @Action...

. Most are insulated. Especially "workshops" and "communications shacks". Generally it is roughly 2 inches thick and when the guys at the yard skewer it with the forklift, it becomes obvious. Some of the ISO Containers are also insulated as well.
