    M916A1 battery alternative configuratons

    . Well, that isn't exactly a Mil-Spec battery hold down... But on the other hand, that configuration would cause the crackheads and thieves to possibly "just walk on by..." I like it. Definitely sturdy and nothing will get jostled around going down the road or trail!

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    . springer1981 You "done good" ! Guess that makes you the Official MV Ambassador for that event. The neat part is that a lot of those kids will remember that adventure - and hope you can make it to the next show! Nice looking truck too!

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    . Maine: Trees, Grass, all the fun - except in the winter - when it gets cold and the snow covers the ground for months. North Carolina: Same without the snow most of the time. When it happens, it lasts for a day maybe two every few years. Arizona: Rocks for grass, scrubby little bushes rather...

    Please help me make a plan to Move from Tampa To Chattanooga with shipping containers.

    . You might get sticker shock, but asking is cheap.

    Sinking an M561 Gama Goat at Camp Pendleton, CA

    . Seems to me that they overlooked their flotation cushions. Maybe they didn't have anybody standing at the front of the vehicle to give the safety briefing...

    Why the ads?

    . Wonder if it is something that your browser decided to download and install? I made a few searches - and ended up with every search having a GP ad showing over what I wanted to actually see. I can't remember (on the phone) how I finally eliminated that. On the PC, I just deleted or turned...

    M1088 camper conversion

    . For sure Chucky! I see a lot of triangles on that structure. I would guess it is going to be amazingly strong. Being used as an entertainment platform until the build is complete makes it pretty sweet :cool:

    Sheared generator bracket bolts.

    Yep for sure... And don't forget the comment from Milcommoguy about the Motorpool Sergeant. He has a line of things behind this truck that need attention. Mixing and matching parts from the "deadline" doesn't always mean that your new auction win is perfect. Not especially guaranteed...

    Looking for interrupt switch

    . Hey @Trick1us , Our suggestions about going to look at the TM books is not because we don't want to make this easy. Goal is to give you the ability to fix this and other things next time - and maybe help the next guy... Zed254 's post just above this post is a GREAT idea. Once you have...

    Please help me make a plan to Move from Tampa To Chattanooga with shipping containers.

    . I am chewing on these new ideas. Hope to have something more useful to say a little later. --- We have a big wrecker company (several actually) here in the big city. They get calls for all sorts of things, but big truck rolled over is a common thing for them. They have three smaller...

    M1088 camper conversion

    . Almost looks like you need to hire some gymnast in some brightly colored spandex to do flips and spins. You could have a top rated parade vehicle - and then you could add the sides a little later :cool:

    What have you done WITH your FMTV ( trips, Rescues etc) NOT: fixes, updates etc

    . The guy driving the broken down Rotator isn't your average wrecker driver or truck driver . The ability to know he still had air to release the brakes was Step #1. Being careful to not waste whatever air was left is Step #2. Your driving gently forward and gently tugging that rotator maybe...

    Some humor at my expense

    . Yes Sir. The thing is, now you know something about those clutch bolts that you will never forget as long as you live. Now you have something powerful that you can share with others too! Still, I'm with you one hundred percent. There are days when things go wrong. I guess today was your...

    Is it just me?

    . Sad but true. They sell $50 InkJet printers that come with half-full cartridges. First time you need new ink it really would cost you less money to throw out the printer and get a new one. They are always running printer specials for even less. Well, don't despair on the search. It works...

    Is it just me?

    . One other piece of magic in these TM's that you might want to know: Use a real computer - where the "Control F" (Ctrl key + the F key) will easily open FIND. Don't expect much, but in a thousand page book it will find things faster than flipping pages! What you will really learn as you use...

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

    . That is a heck of a truck maddawg308 ! I never had the opportunity to meet Scrounger but everyone speaks (spoke?) highly of him.

    Please help me make a plan to Move from Tampa To Chattanooga with shipping containers.

    . Could be - and with fatter and bigger wheels - it might be workable. My only concern about that setup is what about brakes. Something more than just a concrete block tied to a chain :cool: There is a military container mover and if memory serves me, it is the M-1022. Don't know what kind...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    . You got an awful lot of work done cucvrus ! Really amazing how almost everything has time to be done a second time - when it gets the "hit and a miss" fix the first time. Cooler weather here. Not by more than ten degrees, but I have noticed another hour or two of work time since it isn't as...

    M1078 crane options/alternatives?

    . What ever do you mean!? I was told when these big green trucks arrived at my place - there is supposed to be a sack of money somewhere under the seat or something like that. Automatically refills itself too according to legend. I am still looking for mine - but that's what I was told. :cool:
