    Soft Top Ambulance cover?

    Saw this on Craigslist, and it's close to me. These are not mine. Not sure if these are even HMMWV tops. Only picture they have. Wanted to pass this along just in case they are. $150 feels like a good price. Let me know if I can help someone out..

    Tie rod end boots

    I was doing the zerks today on the HMMWV and found that both of the steering tie rod end boots (ones closer to center) were torn on both. It seems these are a whole package on Epay / Kascar. Does anyone have a cross part number for these? If the boots are torn, are the ends replaced in whole...

    Shocks - Which ones? Mixed?

    Well, I bought (2) 12340070 and was buying (2) 12340071, but the shipper sent me (2) 12340072 instead. I've seen people recommend (4) 0070 and then others recommend (4) 0072. Now my question is, do I have a crappy combination? There are not great specs on the 0072, and they look identical to...

    Boarding ladder - MRAP - Could this fit any if our MV's?

    Looks like Sportsman's Guide has some boarding ladders from an MRAP, $100. Wondering how this would work out on a M925A2, if it fits on the top of the tailgate, or even goes over it to the bed. With the ladder on, I couldn't open the tailgate if secured to the bed, and it's 86 lbs, so don't...

    20kw Generator - Drash / Applied trailer battery question

    I am getting my generator trailer on Sunday, but it's doesn't have batteries. Previous auction pics show Optima red tops. Besides those, anyone recommend a good replacement (two obviously). I want to make sure I know how many CCA and a good fit in the compartment and ability to be secured...

    Suggestions for straightening battery box latches

    Both of my latches on my M939 battery box were bent so it won't latch anymore. They are really stout, and I can't bend them back with anything I've tried for pliers. I don't really want to drill the pin to remove and put in a vice and beat with a BFH, but I think that might do it. Anyone...

    How often does your fan kick in?

    I've seen a number of threads on the temp, but not frequency. I have a feeling mine is not cooling optimally, but could be overreacting. Coolant flush is in my future, as it hadn't been PM'd yet. 80 degrees out yesterday, no load, flat surface, not pushing if, back roads, not highway, paved...

    Tapatalk requires an account - Picts now link elsewhere

    I got away with not having a Tapatalk account for a bit, but their new app required it to post pictures, which show up in the web via a link. I thought links were not a good way to post things. Tapatalk handles it seamless in the background when viewing, but the web definitely makes people...

    M103A3 - fluid leak around the brake chamber

    OK, I've poured through the TM on this one. This is a M103A3, with an MKT sitting on top. The hand brakes do work to stop the trailer, but I have noticed some fluid only when the brakes are applied. Since I have not had soldier B to help, I have not been able to pump the brakes and notice...

    M925a2 rear window stuck

    I have had this problem since I replaced my hard top. It's stuck closed, and really good. I've put some pressure on it, but don't want to bend the window, or having it shatter. I'm pretty sure it's CARC that is holding it together, but there is no other mechanical means that hold these...

    Pintle Setup on CartCaddy.

    OK. Got a question. I have access to a Cart Caddy HD that has a ball hitch. I will be pulling the MKT trailer around, so looking to install a Pintle on it. The bolt pattern is 3.38 (3 3/8 )x 3.00. The only pintle mounts I can find (so far) is 3.38 X 1.75 or something else. Question is I...

    Battery question - NOCO charger - Odd start, 1 LED alarm.

    I will start at the end, then jump back to the beginning of the issue. I was leaving for the night and hooked up my NOCO charger to the slave port, and after a couple of seconds, it goes into an error state. 1 blinking LED, which the manual indicates that the battery can't take a charge. I...

    Steering wheels uneven tire wear - toe-in issue?

    Ok, best searchable subject I could think of. I have some funny wear on my front tires. It seems to be both of them. It only appears to happen to the outer most tread on my Goodyears. Here's a good pict of the issue. A fellow SS turned me onto this in the TM's. Work package 493, in...

    Behr paint prep on divots and rust spots

    Wondering what people do besides completely sanding down the uneven spots that a little rust and or flakes have left before applying Behr paint. I know the Behr is self leveling, but I would think something like glazing putty might be the right thing. With most small surface rust, it was a...

    Ironman - M939's everywhere.

    So I was watching this on the plane the other week and had to do a double take. Of course I had never seen it before, as I wasn't looking. BUT, there are a ton in there. That poor M925 though, what happened to his canopy? And all of those crates, those are dragon missile cases. I have a...

    Torque Rod removal - remove the tires?

    Starting a new thread as most of the old ones were the Deuce, and I don't want to confuse anyone. I have seen difference in the torques between the Deuce and the M939 (and even the wrecker gets something different). The TM ( TM 9-2320-272-23-3, WP 0544) states to start with the tires removed...

    Therooster2001's M925A2 build thread

    Howdy all. Figure I'd document the journey on a build thread. I'll be backlisting some things to make it chronological. I'll try to fill it up with searchable titles, part numbers and picts to help those out, just like others have helped me. I decided I wanted to get an M939, but the A2...

    Canopy orientation

    I have a new cover for my M925A2 and have tried it both directions. I thought the bow straps at one end made sense in the front, but I can't seem to find a good front and back. There is a difference in the tie downs on the ends. What direction are these supposed to face?

    Ladder for M373 trailers

    I just ran across this ladder at Sportman's Guide. I have no idea how it would hook up to anything on a M923 as it's WAY too short. Does anyone know how this would work? It says: All-aboard! Here's a safe, fast and easy way to move up in the world! Designed to swiftly load troops / gear into...
