Did you do much prep work? What condition do they need for spraying the Line-X. I was thinking of doing my HMMWV wheel wells(exterior).

Welcome Metzger, good start there.

Nice work Kevin, compliments from 'BabyRuthie' and her crew. :) I still have my interior to finish, I just got enough exterior done for the summer activities. Tell me more about the RedDot AC on the hatch, was it a kit? Not much insulation from the engine heat on these.

jimbo, Here they are.

When my shop neighbor came over needing to get his 30 foot thick crust pizza slice to fly(+120 feet), I couldn't resist the challenge. The Chicago Red Bull Flugtag is coming up fast Sept6, and for those who don't follow this insanity. That's where otherwise sane people(Hyped up on Red Bull) jump...

Nice! [thumbzup]

RE: Re: RE: Re: M998 Hmmwv tach installed. 86M10086.2, The Army feels the HMMWV doesn't need to be turning more RPMS than 3000(mil tach limit). The engine is governed at its red line of 3600 with the DB2 injection pump but DDA states that 3000 was the max sustained RPM under load. Really even...

RE: Re: RE: Friday Night Classic Car Show Kenny, Yeah... You know I won first place last time I was at this show with 'LilRuthie'! But I'm only half way done restoring 'BabyRuthie'...

RE: Re: RE: Friday Night Classic Car Show doghead, WillWagner, I wore my handy-dandy MVPA hat with insignia to ward off any military problems. 8) Funny tho, everyone thought it was a new HMMWV(?). Had to explain it was first year's production from nearly 25 years ago! The HMMWV has one of...

Man... :drool:

During the summer each weekend Downers Grove, IL features a different type of classic car. Well it was our turn Friday night, NICMVPA guys were there. We shared the fareway with other Trucks, Military, Fire Vehicles, Farm Tractors, and of course the famous(?) Roy and The Orbitz live band...

pa.rich, I felt honored to bring up the rear of those truly historic vehicles with my 'current conflict' HMMWV.

TedG, Real hard to find stuff I'm afraid. TOW Launch Tube, Daysight Target Tracker, Nightsight, Missile Guidance System (case) I'm all set with the HMMWV itself. PM me if you can help, I'd like to stay under the radar.

That's good to know Mark, I'm gonna bring that up at the next meeting.

OK time for a full clarification. I got the word. Everything has been cleared up. Army Public Affairs thought Chris was active duty and he was “out of uniform”. He likes to wear his blue jeans all the time, as you can see in the pic. The main issue was the wearing of uniforms within the...

Mark, Or worse, the HMMWV back... :( But thanks to the discussions here in the past I think we've determined; The military has no jurisdiction over these civilian activities. Wearing BDU"S without insignia's, are just clothes. And my crew does not even return salutes from the crowd, just waves...

Well guys, I've seemed to have by-passed all the local and state police problems we normally have, and have gone straight to the Army this time. Anyone else have this happen? The Parade photos; http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=24026&highlight= OK time for...

Hummerguy, Sometimes I just run out of time and go with the civvy off the shelf stuff. I'd like real McCoyMSG swing arm, and keep checking Austin Aviation for em. Where'd you get the swing arm?

McMaster Carr has a HD swivel arm assembly, that I used in a pinch for the 4th. 5164T1 SUPPORT ARM SYSTEM, RIGID, WALL MOUNT,100LB CAP, 24-3/4"MAX PROJECTION $266.70 I bent up and welded a 1x1/4" strap iron cradle with a standard 7/8 diameter bottom pin. Less than a half hour's work. The...
