I got lucky and located 5 brand new in the box power steering pumps for the UAH type 6.5's. We changed ours and you can literally steer it with one finger now.
Yeh, exactly.
And no, he didn't.
Lastly, no parade, he pulled into Home Depot. Registration is required for joy riding and errand running. I wasn't even going to hassle him about it, I was just too busy to stop.
I don't know who it was but a few days ago I saw a nice clean HMMWV with a mounted .50 caliber driving on Strickland Dr. in Orange Texas. I assume the .50 was not real and I almost pulled him over (no plates) to get the story but I was busy going somewhere. Anyone know who this would be?
I had no luck searching for M1114 ballistic windshields in the system so we had to get the newer ones. I would imagine anything older would be non-existent. Cost is zero of course for LESO users.
For those of you looking for new ballistic windshields, the later ones designed for the M1151 LPV will fit in the older M1114 UAH. The armored retaining hardware just has to be trimmed a little. We had someone trim the armored retaining hardware with a waterjet cutter and it turned out really...
As stated above, they are side specific and some improvements were made in the design too. I will post some pics of the retaining armor that needs some modifications to make the new style fit the older ones. I don't know what the auction price is but ours showed a military costs of @$535 if I...
A few weeks ago when I was at Red River, I saw several of those but they were not available when we got an M1114. I think there are several on here that are owners and LESO.
I drove to Fort Hood yesterday and got these two. There were several there including side windows but they must be going out fast as I only see one left today. I will post the NSN's for driver and passenger side if anyone needs them.
These are hard to find but I finally found some new armored windshields. I picked these up Thursday. Brand new ones for driver and passenger side. If anyone needs them, there are some more out there.
I have been reading this thread for awhile and not commented. In my opinion, your early video of the engine cranking was obvious that this was not a healthy engine. I would never trust a used (unknown) engine without a complete tear down, inspection, and competent machine work done prior to...
May I ask what is his infatuation of driving one of these on the street? They suck for everyday use. I spent most of last week driving a M1097 heavy variant on the roadway (its plated of course) and its not fun at all. Its cool every once in awhile on a sunny day but otherwise its not fun or...
