    Painting Combat jumps M1028

    You guys are hired. That looks great. Know anyone who does good body work in the area. My M1008 needs some work where the DRMO folks picked it up with a forklift and the M1009 needs a whole rear passenger side quarter panel.

    M1009 Injector Pump Replacement

    So the IP is leaking everywhere. The -34 says the CUCV IP is a DB-2829-4521. Is there a better one ? I have one I picked up sometime back just for this occasion however it says it's a DB-2829-4520 for a J code engine, so at least the J part is right. It needs to be rebuilt as well...

    CA DMV!!!! get out your wallet!

    Should have reg'd it as a housecar to begin with, this state sucks when it comes to fees. Nothing more than TAXES for politicians to put in their pockets or their friends pockets. Matt, do you know what section that is abt the wt fees and being handicapped....would love to know that one.

    Fuel vent hose leak on M1009

    Ok, replaced a cracked and plugged (by the military) fuel vent hose. It was plugged off at the top near the fuel neck. I assumed it was a vent hose and not suppose to be plugged but now, even with only 3/4 of a tank of fuel and backed up my driveway, rear bumper is level with head lights so...

    Starter Bracket

    Anyone have the support bracket for the single rear threaded bolt on the starters? I need one. Let me know. Anyone have a drawing with measurements etc showing how to build one, that would work as well. Any ideas or suggestions.

    A3 Deuce CTIS Question and wheel NSN

    Filter The filter is on the driver's side of the engine midway back and down......probably like you said the dryer filter. I have passed on the Erik's site info as well as the info about turning it off etc, which I too have heard in the past. Thanks,

    JC Taylor Insurance Problems

    OH I'm sure I can get it insured thru my regular insurance but it just ticks me off that they won't insure it because of the shelter, after all it is a shelter carrier and the shelter is attached as it should be...... Don't want to mislead them but taking it out, then putting it back in, like...

    updated pics of my hemtt restoration

    I'd say the HEMTT is much more useful than a HET. At least with a HEMTT you can haul your MANCAVE around or anything else and still not be too large. Y ou don't need a trailer to pull behind like the HET.........OR, OR, are you looking for something larger to put on a HET...

    USMC Unknown Vehicle

    The article mentions the fact the artillery has to fit in the Osprey or the CH -53 Sea Stallion. The vehicle is the size of a large golf cart. They entire system is called EFSS for Expeditionary Fire Support System. Larger isn't necessarily better since the 7 tons etc can't fit too well in...

    USMC Unknown Vehicle

    Deuce Rim Modification/Backspacing Diagrams

    I can't find the article/post someone did sometime back, believe it was on the old board, that involved photos/diagrams of building up wider rims. It showed the backspacing measurements etc so you didn't have to flip the hubs and was pretty detailed. Anyone have a workable link to that...
