These tools are expected to be made out of hot rolled steel. I'm going to try 3D printing them in carbon fiber polycarbonate and see how they do. You may download the SolidWorks or step file or STL file. I may offer them for sale later or if you're interested PM me for a 3D printed version...

I accidentally came across this while searching for something else in the TMs the other day. Cab support tool, haven't found the section yet that shows you how to use it but here it is. TM_9-2320-366-20-1, unit maintenance 1 of 5, E-4, page E-7, actual page #s are 1537-1540. I have modeled it...

My neighbor's grandson is a mobile mechanic with the local CAT dealer. An exchange for a nice brass CAT belt buckle, he plugged into my truck and gave it a full scan and analysis. Everything looked good!

Using a big rig wrecker and a lowboy we're going to move an old inoperable m813 across the city. I don't know the condition of the brakes or if they're caged or if caging bolts are present but I just want to know if the caging bolts from my fmtv will work with it because I'm just going to bring...

I came up with this design for mounting my expand-o-van habitat on my M1083 from looking at similar mounting systems including the M1087 mounting system. The lower bracket is made from an I-beam that I have that 6 in by 8 in x 3/8 in thick, and the upper bracket is made from frame rail portions...

One of the Goodyear tires I bought for my fmtv has crusty over spray on both sides that looks like it was near a vehicle that was being painted with CARC. Now it's covered with a crusty coating of it on both sides. Or at least that's what it looks like. What would be a good way to clean that...

I've been building the trumpeter m1083 model over the last year and a half. It's a pretty detailed model except for they royally screwed up the interior. They made the center of way too narrow and the footwell's way too big. If you are making this model I have designed a correctly dimensioned...

Had to clean out my Homebrew cabinet to move it a bit. Forgot about my massive German beer can collection! Eat your heart out @Guyfang ! There's about three times this many in the box, all different!

Apparently this is at SEMA https://www.instagram.com/reel/CzCBzxhvQ_R

This was in my electrical repair trailer in the electrical box above the bus bars and breakers. what is it and what does it do? I'm trying to figure out if I should keep it for my shelter build. It will have a thousand watt solar system on the roof 4 series 2 parallel to a 24 volt battery...

I saw this on GP, and I wish I could buy it but I have neither the money nor the storage space! https://www.govplanet.com/for-sale/Portable-Structures-York-Astro-S-435%2FGSM-216-Electrical-Equipment-Shelter-California/10682393?h=5000%2Cq%7CS-435&rr=1&hitprm=&pnLink=yes Here's how it would fit on...

I've been tinkering with more ideas for a front brush guard what do you think? Some Baja Designs lights also. lower edge mounted to where the cab tilt hinge mounts. Would do a custom grill.

I was wondering if there was a good use for the tire tread of a blown out military tire such as a good year MV/T. I figured if the sidewalls were cut off and it was cut and stretched out, you would have a strip about 11 ft long. That could be used as a traction mat, as a tree saver, as a...

While changing the blown out tire I noticed my wheel is a bit rusty and a bit rough looking. Is it recommended to paint it or to powder coat it? What kind of media blasting or stripping should be done first? Walnut shell, sand, etc... And if one was like that I figured more would be. I was...

This is the 1981 m813 my buddy and I are working on so he can move it to Montana. I'm not exactly sure which motor this is and I need to buy some radiator hoses so if any of y'all can identify it and also if anybody has cooling system parts for sale. I'm not exactly near this truck and I...

Do the M800 series trucks use 12 or 24 volts for their headlights?

I don't know what the heck this is but this is one of the coolest and most badass trucks I've ever seen
