    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    . So... Finding a wiring harness quick might be pretty costly. Goofy question maybe - but how many wires are there in the wiring? Would it be practical to get your test light (maybe a meter to hunt continuity if you have one handy) and hunt down the ground first. Tie it together. Then...

    Alternator changeout issues

    . Those star washers - especially with small nuts and bolts - seem to do especially well on vehicles that vibrate like a GenSet. We used them on radios in the old Bouligny radio installations... Made all the difference in the world for us.

    interesting E-shmay find.

    . There is no question that those blast shields would be tough to navigate with in a Highway Driving situation - but they sure would be cool to have...

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    . That is really sweet! Extra nice looking for sure...

    LED tail lights on the cheap

    . I have purchased several "Civy" bulbs from the SuperBrightLEDs.com and they have done a good job of responding to an order. Quick shipping and the bulbs arrive packed well to survive shipping.

    G749 preservation

    . It is amazing how our countries shared technology. That Fury 1 looks amazingly like the F86 SabreJet. These are amazing pictures m1010plowboy and I really enjoyed them! The info about taking a good picture is nice to read when it is too cold to be outside :cool: THANK YOU again for the...

    interesting E-shmay find.

    . Would be neat to have - but at that price - I need it about like a hole in my head... .

    . That is great news! Being able to get into the truck, crank it up and drive makes it SO much nicer. Getting some seat time and enjoying it as you fix any small things that pop up will definitely make ownership so much sweeter!

    New Project

    . Like @98G mentioned, if you have a "fresh from the military" truck with something in the fuel tank - it should be JP8. That fuel doesn't "grow" like truck stop diesel. It should smell differently than regular diesel too. @frank8003 has several threads on this site with many discussions...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    . Neat!! I like it. Sadly, I have found no larger magazine than the 10 rounders - but still - it is slinging about 660 grains with the M33 Ball. Energy between 10,000 and 15,000 foot pounds (another measure at between 14 and 18 kilojoules). Still, if you were on the receiving end of the...

    HMMWV replacement windows...glass or polycarbonate?

    . I agree with tempered everywhere except the windshield in front of your face... If some goofball throws a rock into a piece of laminated glass it might hold together long enough for you to stop safely. I think most states require safety glass (laminated glass) on the windshield.

    . I second the request for pictures! Hopefully the wife will think it is wonderful one day soon :) Maybe when it rumbles to life that will make her smile... Seems like a darn good price.

    M1008 Build

    . Wow what a difference! When you get finished with it, it will be about like it was when it rolled off the assembly line. LOTS of hours have been poured into that truck. Really sharp and lots of attention to detail by you! What a great thread...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    . Funny how things work... Every time I have been on the side of the road - needing to change a tire - I've never had a spare truck to pull a ratchet strap like that :cool: Maybe this guy could have picked himself up a 4-Way Lug Wrench. I have seen the cheap ones pop off at the weld - or one...

    Thoughts on Adding a Flat Top Sleeper Cab to an M900 Series Truck

    . Apparently the guy who built the sleeper M925 has a sense of humor. I just noticed the sticker on the motor... Certified Dirty Idle :)

    Thoughts on Adding a Flat Top Sleeper Cab to an M900 Series Truck

    . That would be a heck of a plan... No need to hack up the truck doing it that way! I just found this M925a2 (1990) with a 8.3 Cummins and a pair of 110 gallon Tanks. Sold recently for $43k.

    Thoughts on Adding a Flat Top Sleeper Cab to an M900 Series Truck

    . What about seeing one somebody has already done? I found a YouTube video of a M-932 with a sleeper on the back. Pretty tough looking!

    . Welcome to the Outfit! Off the top, it sounds like a heck of a deal - that it is there in the state you live in. Dang shame that we keep closing military bases. "They call it "realignment" and branches of the service get combined onto one patch of dirt. Things like Andrews AFB became Joint...

    24 bolt wheels with BFG Bajas - Runflat or No Runflat

    . Dang Right! I am with you 100% Cummins in my M-936 (with a new muffler) sounds pretty sweet to me. Makes a lot of noise, but it just sounds tough. Then my contractor neighbor up the road comes by with one of his tractors. Big 4 axle trailer and a big Cat engine under the hood. He rides...
