So after some tinkering around, my buddies and I are getting down to really considering building a clone of a Cougar MRAP by General Dynamics. The plan is to use a 900 series truck as a base. Originally, I wanted to do the 4x4 version, but after looking at it, and knowing that it would be a...

So the 923 has developeda growl when on the road. it doesn't show up when the truck is idling or when I rev the motor to build up air pressure. It seems relagted to road speed as it is intermitent and kicks in around 15 miles an hour. It chages to a much higher pitch. And while I can't really...

Gl & hummwv Ok after the FMV plate bill, I have started on a new project, outside of the bobber. I need any info people have on the reason and timing that prevents hummves from being sold to the general public. I don't need conspiricy theories or rumors. I need dates, times directives DoD...

Well here we go again. Tommorow we are heading up to Sparta to stage for the recovery of my 923. Finishing up the check list and loading up the truck with little things like oil, anti-freeze and such. Quicy trip to Farm and Fleet to get a few extra items and we'll be set. Gonna hook up with...

I tried searching, but me and that thing don't seem to get along or speak the same langauge. So when bobbing a duece, how much frame do most guys take off the back end? Looking at shortening the box, if I cut out 36" of the box, I move the front bulkhead to where the second stake pocket is...

Late last week, Senator Mike Jacobs intorduced SB-3530, a bill to change the plate fees and requirements for our hobby. The bill would set plate fees for former military vehicles at $100 for those under 26,000 GVWR, and $150 for those over 26,000. for trailers the cost is $25 for those...

Well, I've been waiting to get started, as I don't have all the parts yet, but thought I would dive in and make use of a Saturday... So today the bed came off, and laid out the measurements I think I'm gonna use for the truck. The bed came off in about 30 min. No problem. Next is getting...

After reading another thread on 923s and the comment about CDLs, I thought I would post this. Yesterday, I had to schedule a seminar on CDL requirements for our business agent training coming up next month. In doing so I spent a fair amount of time on the phone with the head of CDLs inthe...

I saw the other thread about the owner of a CUCV havig issue with cops so I had a run in this morning and thought I would post it after reading his. I had gone out and fired up Mark's 915 to warm it up. I plan on getting his trailer out to him this weekend and wanted to check out the truck...

Looking at my truck the hood looks like somene walked on on it a "caved in" part fo the center. So I think I might need a new one. That benig said, I got the A3 for the drive line. But i like the look of an A2 front end better. Are A2 & A3 hoods the same or are they different? I know the...

Well Ryder trucks just called and my credit app was approved. Going to rent a tractor to bring the semi-trailer back. The 915 would do it, but this morning when I fired it up to move it, the tack cable started making noise. Besides, we will be able to make pretty good time with the...

So as Mark and I were prepping for tommorow recovery, we were talking about the bobber projects we are going to undertake. He said he had some springs off of a truck he was goign to part out and I could have them. I looked at them and then looked at the springs on the front of one of his A3s...

Well I won a duece out of McCoy and I'm going up Wednesday to get her. Gonna help Monica's dad pick some other stuff out if this all works and should be an interesting ride home, slow and a bit longer, but interesting. As soon as I get her home, I need to start looking for parts for the...

there is an airtank under the truck, behind the transmission inbetween the frame rails. About the size of a fire extinguisher. right above the drive shaft. Can anyone tell me what this tank is for? is for the CTIS, trans or brakes? I was having a hard time chasing down all the lines and...

I did a search and nothing came up, but I also looked for a thead I started and it didn't come up so maybe it just doesn't like me.... But as I look to get a truck or 2 or 3 i fugure having spare parts is a good thing. And I see parts, likemfuel pumps and starters on auctions, but they don'...

when figuring out the placement of the rear axel on a bobbed project, i wouls assume, that if you use a trailer bed, you try to get it lined up witht he wheel well from the trailer. However, if you are going to cut down the bed, what do most guys do? do you just drop the rear axel so as not...

Since this bug has bitten pretty hard, I've been checking into insurance with my agent, bid on ovwr a dozen trucks at GL-- got zero. And have been penciling mods and ideas. The Texas FMV law thread caught my eye along with some stuff about titlig the trucks. So I called the Secretary of...

I saw this video of a guy whol built this out of a 1 ton 4x4 and thought that an old duece would make a better platform as it has a larger bed area to start with. any thoughts? Make sure you watch it till the end and look at the pictures inthe slideshow for all the ammenities.
