    Looking Front bull bar fab ideas

    I want to also do a safari rack. I would think it would be way better looking on a crew cab. My buddy has one on his mog that looks great and it's a single cab.

    M-813 5 ton won't downshift

    Like I previously states I got so that I could drive my deuce like a race car. I almost never used the clutch or the brake. That is the way I like to drive. That is why it is bugging me.

    M-813 5 ton won't downshift

    OK, here goes. I know I'm going to take a lot of ribbing for this. But I can't get my new m-813 to down shift at all without serve grind. I can shift right thru the gears on the way up. But can't get it to down shift at all. Is there a clutch adjustment? I'm assuming this is just user error...

    Looking for seat reviews?

    Nice review. $500 brand new? That is reasonable considering guys are asking way more then that for used military seats.
