Very nice job. Much better looking that the previous camo.

I thought that the ISO bed on a M813 was slightly longer than the standard bed.

Hello, Can you tell me more about the battery cut-off switch? And where you got it? Thanks, Jared

Very nice. The engine compartment looks new. Where/how did you get it?

Nice work! Did that steering wheel come with the truck? Or did you add it? I'm looking for one just like that. Currently have the old rounded one that needs replacement.

I just put in a block heater in my 813. Drained all I could using the radiator first then the pipe plug just below the rear coolant access plate. Then refilled with Fleet Charge. They didn't have the pre-mixed so used the full strength and mixed with distilled water. Got it at Tractor Supply...

Going off on a little tangent -- 5ton beachbuggy -- do you have any more pictures of your winch install? Have not seen anything quite like that.

Ron -- I don't think I'll be there (unless it gets moved to New Hampshire) but thanks for the offer. Jared

Does that heater need a gasket? I bought the same one (860-1046) pictured in the first post on eBay. Did not come with a cable or gasket. But don't know if it was supposed to.

Just did some work on my winch also 5 ton. Don't have a torch but a small hand grinder with cut-off blade works great. Gives you a nice clean cut.

Looks Good. Do you get that at no cost?

Have been waiting for a drive shaft for the winch for a while but wanted to at least get the cable wound. Bought an old "arm buster" electric drill on eBay. Made and adapter to a short section of winch shaft. Have used an outfit on the internet to make laser cut parts before so thought this...

You can clean the paint out of the nozzle when done painting by holding the can upside down then spray until clear. When the can is upside down the tube in the can is now above the liquid so the propellant cleans out the nozzle. Has to be done shortly after you're done painting.

I was looking for "Esmet wire rope clevis" and there it is on the first page. Just missed it I guess.

That's Great. I'd done a fair amount of searching on Google and did not come across that place. The price is lower than I expected. Placed the order and will report back.

Hello, Looking for a distributor or place to get replacement front winch wire rope clevis. Have seen that they are made by Esmet but do they sell direct in small quantities (like 1)? Anybody have a source? Would like to stay original which for the 5 Ton would I believe be Esmet GD-162-X...

Very nice! Maybe you could post a few more pics of the "extra cab".

Very nice job! I think it is certainly a worth while experiment. Maybe you'll end up with some kind of hybrid in the end just to get your max range up. I think even Oshkosh is looking at hybrid designs for the big ones ProPulse® : Oshkosh Defense.

Is the basic cab tub (1st 2 photos above) the same as the M35/M809 trucks? Looks like it is.

I had an M35 and liked it a lot. Maybe partly because it was my first military truck after wanting one for quite a while. Actually had 2 -- first a "D" then the "C" whistler. Really liked the sound the whistler made. Then took the plunge into 5 tons with an XM813 and really like this one...
