@Jeff MD Wait, so you actually got a delegate to speak to the MVA and the MSP about this? That's fantastic. Delegate Hornberger was definitely pissed when I showed him the original memo but he seemed intent on pushing forward with his bill rather than telling MSP to knock it off with the bogus...

This is exactly what I wanted to happen. How in the world did you convince them? I never called them directly because I was certain that they'd blow me off.

Russ, I think the forum software is playing tricks on you. When I click the link for the thread I posted and scroll up, it says it's the 5-ton thread. Those are parts that I put on my 5-ton. I have not put them on my HMMWV.

Same green that Marines used of the same era. I served in a Navy "littoral warfare" unit. We weren't Seabees but we had several of them in the unit. Several of our trucks were recycled from Seabee units. When I first arrived, all of our stuff was old and busted. Vietnam up to 80's...

Yes. There is a thread in the archives here somewhere. I'll see if I can find it. Essentially, it's a vintage Anco or Trico wiper arm that fits right on the military wiper motor stud and a 12 inch blade that goes on that. No drilling or other mods required. Edit: Here we go-...

I'm not sure where the normal mounting position is on a dumper, but that's normal BII. On my M813, the rack is mounted on the toolbox on the passenger's side, under the bed. Call, do not web browse this guy: https://www.army6x6parts.com/ He'll find and ship all your pioneer parts.

These things are like a Mega Gamma Goat. Where the heck do you even get parts for them??

I was thinking "LED headlights? This guy's priorities are messed up." Now I understand, you're making it safe and road legal to get it to the body/paint shop.

Once again, we've been cheated out of actual snow. We got an inch and now it's freezing rain which will last all day. I fully expect power outages. I've moved all of my vehicles out from underneath our trees.

Also check out Big Mike's Motorpool and Erik's Military Surplus.

Yet another threat of 6+ inches of snow. We'll see if it actually materializes this time.

Exactly.

I see a lot of complaints about the heat in these trucks. Mine works great, thank goodness.

It's farking cold and a parade of weather systems rolling through. This is going to have to wait a bit.

Sheeeeet, it was in the HMMWV forum the whole time! https://steelsoldiers.com/threads/led-headlight-recommendation-s.197255/

It's very complete. Good score.

(Looks in box with 4 rattle cans) Hmm.

The factory connectors are referred to as Packard connectors or shell connectors. I recently saw a post somewhere...I think it was on the 5-ton Facebook page(?) where someone showed a military headlight fixture that used replaceable H4 bulbs. These could be used in any HMMWV, M809, 939, M44...

Ok, but it looks cool!
