Just wondering what everyone won at GovPlanet auctions this month. I won some more beverage containers out of Red Rock Arizona. Quite a bit of other items I would like to have bid on but no storage for the extras that I would had I sold above the ones I would have kept for myself. Guessi need...
Anyone near Colorado Springs that offer pickup from GovPlanet and could store items till the weekend off me to come up and pickup?
My HMMWV EUC finally cleared in Yermo, and I also need to pick items in Colorado Springs this next week. So I am looking at someone that could pick up 5 small items...
A little background on the truck first to start my journey of rebuilding this M1084A1 truck. The truck came out of Joint Base Lewis McChord, WA. It was assigned to the 5th Battalion, 3rd Field Artillery. It has the CAT C7 Ascert motor. Going through the manuals that are available, they do not...
Anyone near Hill Air Force Base, Utah that can offer weekday pickup to get a tarp I won at auction? Could be picked up next week, and I could be up the weekend following the pickup.
Thought I would start a post on my FMTV on some of the repairs and upgrades to keep track of things and provide insights to others that have FMTVs. I have had my M1078 for about two years now, and it seems like there is always something to rebuild to get it back to optimal running condition...
I have been working on building a crane for the back of my M1078 until I can buy the actual one that goes in the back of the FMTV, It breaks down into 3 pieces so one person can put the parts in the back and assemble it in place. I still have some more gussets to create for additional strength...
My truck has started to leak a lot of air when the brakes are pushed. It was coming from the rear of vehicle, so was hard to diagnose just by myself. I used a rod to hold the brakes while I diagnosed where the leak was coming from. The leak was coming out of the exhaust valve on the Tractor...
Well I am thinking about building a RV shelter on the M-1082. Some of my criteria for this build is not to modify the M-1082 trailer, but just add a shelter. Also the shelter could always be moved to the M-1078 and sit on the same bed.
After doing the M-146 a few years ago, I decided this time...
Need a M1082 trailer transported from Ft Hood or Austin Texas to Phoenix, Tucson or Flagstaff if this is on your route. I am fine with you pulling the trailer, and even loading it during your trip west. Trailer will be available as early as next week for pickup. PM me if you are going this...
Request for HEMMT grill measurements. I just need the measurement of the rectangular opening so that I can have a grill fabricated up for my conversion project. Attached photo shows the measurement. I only need the width and height of this opening. Thanks
Took the final step in no turning back yesterday removing the cab from the M932A2. The MK-48 cab is ready to go on soon once I weld the fabricated brackets to the frame extensions on the M932A2. Thanks to the inspiration from Soni and Drew with their FEMMT & SEMMT projects I wanted to also build...
Anyone near Fontana, CA that offers pickup and short term storage to the weekend. I need to have a set of springs picked up and held to the weekend when I can get out there either this weekend or next.
We need a thread for M915/M915A1 and new M915s. So this is a good start to what I have been spending my time on the last few weekends. The outside still needs more work, but the interior has been looking for some attention for awhile. The original seats do not have enough spring to provide a...
Well I just found out I will be moving back to Arizona. Most likely living in the Chandler/Tempe area and looking for a secure storage lot that can over large truck and trailer parking. Would prefer a lot that has on-site staff. Any recommendations would be helpful prior to the move in 2 weeks.
Purchased one of the HMMWV AC Kits and installed this system in my 1984 M915A1. I did mine slightly different than reb87 with the same kit. The HMMWV kit is the same as the one for a M915A1 with a few exceptions: AC bracket, brackets for roof mount are about 1" narrower and do not fit the roof...
I have won a few items in Lockbourne, Ohio that I have used SS member HDExpert. His service in the pickup of the items is very professional and fast. Great communication throughout the whole process. This service he provides to the Lockbourne Ohio area gives SS members the confidence they need...
Just wondering if there is anyone in the Hooks (Red River) area that offers pick-up help and storage of the product until the weekend. I could drive up to your location on the weekend after they are picked up. I won three lots of fiberglass boxes that I will use for the storage boxes under my...
After spending a whole morning a few months ago reading Rayzers M146 build, I decide to buy a M146 for myself and do and RV conversion. Well the trailer has been sitting for the past two months in the storage yard as I ponder the many ideas of how to build it.
My original ideas (not on paper)...
I am getting ready to drive my M915A1 back from Nellis AFB to Austin Texas, and have been looked up the P/Ns in the TM for the drive belts on the M915. The numbers are 28460, 217638, and 2C4582R. I have not had much luck cross referencing these belts over. I may have the 217638 cross referenced...
I picked up a Dewey MEP-531A Generator at GL (San Antonio Texas) on 3-4-2013. The motor on mine is a Yanmar L48AE-DEG. These sets were sold without the fuel tank, fuel filter, and all drain plugs missing. After some searching I have all my parts ordered and thought I would provide others with...
