    Fiberglass X Doors

    I have the oem X-Doors and the hinge mounts allow with a bit of work to align them properly while not perfect they are sure respectable. I'm thinking about putting some bed liner in the inside of the doors to help with the noise. Mark

    Fiberglass X Doors

    Why in the world are they not pre drilled? For the money they are charging they should be ready to install and ready for paint. Mark

    Hmmwv proportioning valve question

    You could install a remote stand alone proportioning valve to the rear brakes with an adjustable knob and makes everything very easy. Have done this on equipment over the years. Mark

    Opinions on MEP-831A

    He's a ham as I am. He has two setups. One for the cabin and one for his Pinzgauer 712M.

    Opinions on MEP-831A

    They are nice units but heavy as hell to move. Three of us all over 60 had fun carrying it to my buddies cabin/shed/hamshack. He has a crazy exhaust venting system that allows zero genset exhaust into the shed. He has the Genset as a backup for the shed and house and well pump. Mark

    Getting LMTV from Hawaii

    Rust is a real problem on the islands. Hope you looked at a large amounts of pics as to the condition of the equipment. Just my .02 cents. Mark

    Registering a late model HMMWV in MA

    Just have to find a place that understands military truck. What part of the state do you live in? I've been going to the same shop for over 20 years for all my vechicles. Mark

    Cummins 12v into my CUCV

    I concur that truck has no business with that kind of weight. You need a 3500 dually with a cummins or a duramax as you're into the hotshot arena. Just not the truck for that workload IMHO. Mark

    Cummins 12v into my CUCV

    What power level are you trying to achieve? I love the 12 valve and the P-pump. You can get all kinds of power and reliability with the Cummins. I hope you have already addressed the dowel of death issue for that motor. My oldest boy has a 03 3500 dually and with his 5K lb camper he still pulls...

    SECM Manual HMMWV

    Yep I opened it quick for the same reason. I would love to figure out and install an NV5600 in my old girl. And while at it a 24v 5.9 cummins. One can dream. Mark

    North Carolina inspection

    Unusually they add a bunch of zeros before the six digits to total 17 digits. It's a work around but it works. Mark

    Battery- stop gap?

    When you mix different batteries and potential it is inevitable some will be overcharged and some will be undercharged. This will greatly diminish the longevity of the pack. It's always better to match up batteries of the same age and potential and preferably with the same lot number. Just my...

    Tailgates

    No not really. I have those add on corner pieces but haven't installed them with rivets yet. I have to replace the windshield rubber molding as it's old and let's rain in. Always something with these truck. Mark

    Tailgates

    Found some pics online of the gear I used. Bolted the brackets to the wooden slats and wires the strobes to a switch in the dash. I used canvas water buckets with the wires removed as beacon covers. The fit perfectly and look the part. Mark
