If you have welding available, that's probably the best option. Otherwise you might try drilling it with a left-hand drill bit, OR drill it from the inside with a regular drill bit. Start with a small-ish bit and work your way up until it comes out or gets too close to the threads. Then tack...

Last pic; the three capped wires on the center windshield I believe are for the optional windshield heat system. Those are routed around and terminate behind the battery box (same wire numbers). You can use those for powering items at the center windshield to prevent your needing to route...

I hosed the loose stuff off and it looks pretty good, will look really good with a little scrubbing. It's draped over the canoe drying now. You can have it for whatever it ends up costing to ship. That's the prickly part though; it cannot fold due to the rod at the bottom that's sealed in its...

Yes, and it's still gross as I haven't hosed it off yet.

In the aircraft world it's called seat track.

It's pretty gross at the moment, needs to have the spider eggs and grime sprayed off. All four hooks are there, seat belt pockets, straps and d-rings for roll-up all look good. The window is probably 70%. If you want it let me know. $40 should cover the box and shipping, but if it's more...

I have one in pretty good condition, at least as good as the one pictured above. If there's still interest I'll take a look at it tonight to assess the actual condition.

Continuation of the previous. Here's the video of the entire parade. The M1165 appears at around the 11:00 minute mark, then I make the second pass around the 59:40 More milsurp around the 1:31:00 time.

Armed Forces Day is a thing. Bremerton WA has one of the longest running celebrations for Armed Forces Day, this year being the 77th. I was scheduled to drive the M1165 and placed in the middle of the pack of 150 participants. Last night the event organizer called me and asked if I would mind...

If it's a Yermo truck you always have the option of shipping it the short distance to Retired War Horses and letting Steven do the heavy lifting. I'd be OK driving a runner or non-runner home after RWH gives it the once-over and says it's good.

I want a set of hard doors for the winter, but once it's warm I really like the soft doors instead. Going from doors on to doors off takes a minute or less, add maybe one more minute to roll up the rear curtain and you're riding in style. Let's see a Wrangler owner do it less than 20 minutes.....

If you use a 24v relay, you need only run one small wire into the cab; the ground wire for the relay.

I did 20 in the USAF as a Flight Engineer on C-141s. In my entire career I drove a HMMWV one time, and got a ticket for it (driving without a HMMWV license, not checking tires before entering a taxiway, and speeding). Thankfully the ticket got thrown out, despite all of it being true. I drove...

I take it you're not ISO 9001:2015 certified then.... ;) See Clauses 8.5.1 h and 8.5.5.

I forget the brand, but the original owner paid $189 on a'zon for it. I bought it from him for about half. I was hoping to find a Knakk or Jobox but none came available in the size I wanted or the price I was willing to pay. It's not as secure as I would like, but secure enough for...
