    "C" Turbo and Fuel Rate

    Well, it only took me 2 years to get around to it but I finally swapped out the "D" turbo in favor of the "C" on my dropside. It's actually pretty quiet compared to the screamer on my old M275A2. My question is this, as you increase fuel rate, you notice and increase in boost pressure. Has...

    I'd like to step up and give thanks and recognition to Bobbed818 and Panzerwilly. Long story short, Bobber818 made a run to St Louis and while there trucked back 5 HMMWV tires for me. the story gets more twisted from that but no matter. When my transportation plans fell through, Keith offered...

    Attention Towbar Owners.

    I have a medium towbar I put together from parts. I have the lunette side and both inner pieces without the MWO re-enforcing collars. The swing leg does have the re-enforcing collar. Anyone have a swing leg without that they want to swap? Thanks in advance

    M116a2 1/2?

    That's right, today I went to work on creating my very own M116A2 1/2. I started out with one of the M116A3 trailers I bought from JAX. My plans are to lose the generator body and add a different body. Problem is the axle with the HMMWV rolling stock is too wide. My plans were to put an -A2...

    Cargo Cover

    Can anyone confirm if the M880 and CUCV cargo covers are the same? The CUCV I'm getting has everything but the cover and the bows themselves. The tracks and bow mounts are all there!
