You can use the LED markers with the old buckets and just use the 3 screws that line up. I did the same thing on my deuce until I got the aluminum buckets. The newer aluminum buckets line up with the LED marker screw holes, just make sure you're getting the right buckets when buying online. I...

I've got an A2, I should have mentioned I'd like to find an A1.

I can personally attest a m16A1 would be equally at home in a CUCV as late as 1999. Last time I held a M16A1 in service was 2001, though M16A2s have been around quite awhile- You'd be accurate with either version. If you can find one, a true military "rubber duck" wins for either standing in...

Nice looking train. The color on that Detroit D looks perfect too. What's the story with the line of LVSs, are they all yours or do they belong to a business?

I paid for the battery conversion kit on Monday, received the kit Thursday and installed it today in about 30min. Excellent quality with detailed instructions. Thanks ETN550! This is a worthwhile mod. My MEP didn't come with a battery, so this was a natural step to make it more friendly. Two...

I've never seen one for sale before. Can't be many with private owners. First the armored 5 ton, now a HET!?:mrgreen: Awesome motorpool bbf. Did you use a deuce to flat tow it home...:grin:

My usual answer when asked what I do with my trucks? Whatever I want. People buy fast cars, snow machines, boats, ATVs, motorcycles, and all sorts of other things that serve no purpose other than fun. Sure you can use all of the above to make money or earn a living, though most folks don't make...

These look great. I just picked up my MEP016B yesterday, getting batteries today. I'm in for one green kit. PM sent!

In previous discussions about locking fuel caps several members brought up the possibility of vandalism exceeding the cost of the fuel. Thieves are lazy, and rather then try to circumvent a sturdy locking mechanism why not just poke a hole in the tank and catch the fuel as it drains. Another...

Sweet find! I want to find cool stuff in my yard- that I didn't put there and forget about.

I've been replacing data plates on me truck that are worn and unreadable. Included in this plan are the plates on top of my winch. I received replacements already, but the some numbers on my old one are unreadable. I stamped the new one with the numbers I can read, but I can't be certain on a...

The govt likely didn't pay for the shabby body work specifically. Soldiers get paid the same if they're doing "body work", sweeping floors, raking leaves, shooting on a range or keeping peace in Haiti. Although sometimes units have to put in a work order to a civilian run maintenance shop in...

Is it a 5 ton axle?

Anyone know the whereabouts of the current owner? SS group recovery?

Added an antenna mount and antenna this week. Some past work includes extra storage on the right fender. My wife contributed with the custom cover made from a shelter half. Also added the extra lights attached to the grille brush guard. I might add a separate switch in the future, but for...

Thats what I currently use. They do suck. Mine are cracked and barely holding on. i like the concept but the plastic is too flimsy. I've been searching for something like that made of aluminum or steel. No luck yet.

That TE number on there makes me believe it was a prototype as well. Probably surplused from TACOM in Warren. Very cool trailer.

I have an adaptor from Erik's surplus installed and the front markers won't flash when the turn signals are activated. The rear flashes fine, but the front markers won't.

Wow, 15 years. Was it worth it? Sure looks like it was. Great work, that truck looks phenomenal. [thumbzup]

There's a good chance I'll be back in MI during this show. I'll have to see if I can work it out. It'd be great to meet some of the MI SS'ers. I've been to a few of these over the years, the last one for me was in 2006. Seems they've grown quite bit and the YAM is thriving.
