Took the cat off for ... servicing. No major drama but the bent wrench was necessary for at least one of the flange bolts. Spent two hours trying to get the forward heat shield [#11] back on without luck. I should have taken a picture before I removed it and the manual only tells you to...

I wouldn't drink that if it were free; total hypocrites.

The torquing is twice as worse as it is for the 12-bolt wheels. :LOL:

I threw down a low bid on a non-running MEP-802A genset based on the video of the guy trying to start it. The pictures showed the dead-crank switch in the OFF position, and his vibe seemed to be one of indifference, like, "I'm going to rotate this switch and if it starts I'll be surprised"...

Did mine a few months ago. Tank was good but the pump was dead. Free tank if anyone needs it.

Here's a few from the B-Roll: First time I'd seen this setup. Arctic heater switch. Lots of hole plugs in this dash and the air differential gauge is relocated. Typical interior. One of the nicer DRMO bound vehicles. Several got parked in the lot recently, some with two military...

It's a base that stores what they refer to as "reentry vehicles" so these are USMC security forces. I've seen both the red and the clear, but remember the clear might look clear but flash red - who knows. The license plates say USMC and "For official use only". We corralled one of the...

I think it's the light reflecting off the glass - not white but clear.

I stopped at the (going to) DRMO lot and this one is still there. Story is a young Marine drove it off one of the magazines (sort of like a Quonset hut covered in dirt/grass) and dropped it 30' strait to the ground.

Drove out to the base to top up the tank and saw these parked at the former auto hobby shop nearby:

Nothing improves the poor visibility out of a HMMWV like ... hey, wait a minute... I assume the windshield wipers are tied back (forward) to help you get the glass out, not because you put the tint on the outside? Looks good though!

I've been holding out for warm weather to repaint the Duke CIED antenna green to match the truck, but warm is gone here. Yesterday was borderline so I disassembled it, painted it, and carefully put it in the garage to dry. Here's a shot of the no-ground-plane dual band ham radio antenna as it...

The top picture is what's on mine - dead LEDs and all. Second pic is from the base. ZOOM - it's also trucklite

The nearby navy base has two trucks in their DRMO outbound with 'different' looking LED turns; bigger LEDs and fewer of them in the cluster. So apparently there's more than just Trucklite supplying them.

No, not for the front. I did buy two from that same website from beltfed, but on one of them there are several LEDs that don't light up.

$40 each is steep? I bought two pairs (HMMWV and M1101 trailer) here and although the seller is a bit scatterbrained at times, I got them and they're installed and working.

Spent a couple hours today making my M1165 do this, which it isn't supposed to do. (running lights without headlights)

I renewed my hatred for split-loom this week, finally getting the radio installed. Harris XG-100M multiband. I was gifted this radio rack with shock isolation. The radio didn't fit between the uprights so I took the top off an flipped it upside-down and mounted to the flat surface. The radio...

Put these backup lights in the existing holes in the bracing behind the bumper - no drilling. They are 24v white floods and the sides are amber strobes, each controlled by a separate relay in the battery box, fused of course. The toggle switch is ON-OFF-ON style - up for amber strobes and...

Either not enough belt or too much pulley! :ROFLMAO:
