So does that mean they would work for the highway without blinding oncoming traffic?

So, Rich if you have them on your vehicle, how do you like them? Are they bright? How is the High / Low Beam function? Do you use them on the highway or only off road? Do you have any electrical issues with them? Thanks for your time!

Well, I did too until I talked to a retired armor guy who gave me a copy of TM 9-2350-242-20 which is the org & maint. manual for the M88 Recovery Vehicle, Full Tracked, Medium. On pages 99 & 180 there are pictures of them and the manual identifies them as Riggers' Lights. He also explained to...

Auxilliary Light Opinions Below are pictures of the riggers' lights I'm referring to. They are different from tank headlights which are pictured in post # 39.

Thanks for posting this. Since this is next door to my office I might go this.

Those "armor headlights" look like riggers lights which are used on the M88 tracked recovery vehicles and others. The true armor headlights are a dual light assembly with one infrared and one clear headlight side by side. The riggers lights have a high and low beam which is why I like them.

I haven't done this yet, just thinking about it and was wondering if anyone else had tried it. I would really like to see pictures of the installation and hear their thoughts on how well or poorly it worked (if someone had actually done it).

Has anyone tried using the military Riggers Lights? They have a high and low beam and were mostly used on wreckers. The are military lights so they look correct on the vehicle and the protection brackets make it look like a standard military configuration so the police don't even notice them...

Actually, it has taken almost three and a half decades (and it isn't done yet).

I'm starting to overhaul and restore all my radio systems for my M-42 Command Truck. My R-110 is pretty hammered (especially the outer case) and I was wondering if anyone might know of a good source to find a replacement (either outer case or complete radio). Fair radio is completely sold out...

DecalsExtremeOnline.com will make you a color decal (10 to 12 inches) for about $40 for the first one and way cheaper (about $8 to $10 ea.) for additional ones. You might try giving them a call.

Do you still have any M-37 stuff for sale?

My M-37 / M-42 is the only pick-up truck I've ever owned. Same with my trailer. I've worn it out and restored it twice. It is absolutely stock, with very few bolt on, non-permanent exceptions. I will have this truck until I die, and then it will be a problem for my wife and kids. If they sell...

You will seldom see fully restored vehicles for sale. That is usually because the person no longer really owns the truck; the truck now "owns" him. He has usually got way, way more money into the truck than he will ever hope to get out of it to say nothing of his time, sweat, spare parts and...

Welcome from Kenmore, Washington. My daughter graduated from the University of St. Andrews last year. We have really enjoyed what time we spent in your beautiful country. Please post some pictures of you jeep. We are all very visual here. Storm 51

Try to find as many pictures as you can of the interior of various M-37s. The markings were very different from unit to unit and also from truck to truck depending what it was used for. Radio trucks are different from cargo trucks which are different from command trucks and trucks in Korea were...

My understanding is that the engine is happiest at 180 degrees. If you are operating in conditions where that temperature is likely to be consistently exceeded, then you need a cooler thermostat. Driving in California, especially in the deserts and on mountain grades, a cooler thermostat would...

Thanks for the compliments, nattie! I hadn't forgotten your request, but sometimes it does take me awhile to get things accomplished. I'm glad you liked the photos. Hello, Gunny! I'm fine but I've been busy. How are you doing? Have you gotten many opportunities to enjoy your truck? Storm 51

No, it is just a spring-loaded cover. The Marine Corps Lifting Shackle interferes with the cover opening all the way. I have to remove the bracket and grind or machine a small section for clearance. Not much work to accomplish the fix, but a lot of time involved in taking things apart and...

Yep; it's still better than walkin' !
