Make sure that hose is long enough!

M4 carbines weren't too common prior to 2000/01 in the "big Army"

Here is a close up of the mounts. They are both the same for both sides. Add the 3 straps, and your done. Pretty easy to install. If you do install that rear set of mounts, the canvas will leak in the rain. I don't drive my truck that much to worry about the rub thru with the heater hose on...

Seems Mr Dobbins is retiring.

the 1997 contract trailers needed the MWO's. what year is your trailer?

Towing height is in the TM 9-2330-392-13&P The MWO's if done will have the MWO triangles on the trailer. No idea on converting to new hubs.

I saw some pictures online of MRAPS seats and started doing some research.. I figured it would be cool to put some in a deuce or 5 ton. It looks like there are 3 main types. One has the bottom of the seat thatflips up. The second is a seat with a heavy frame around it and has aslide...

No paperwork. Just look in the 24P-2 under "Camo rack and stowage rack assembly" for how it all goes together. I you need close up pictures, I can take some and post them. It's pretty easy. The parts with the threads go INSIDE the windshield frame, the threads thru the front of the frame...

What type of HMMWV are you going to install it on? The instructions tell you to put 2 holes in the canvas top to attach it to the B pillar. That, as expected, makes it leak. In the Army, and on my HMMWV now, I never did that, I just let it "free float" on the B pillar, and put a piece of...

To convert a 400 to 60 Hz genny, you need to replace everything OTHER than the engine and frame.. it's not worth it. Thats why 400 Hz gennys go for cheap.

Probably an off the self part if you research the part #'s in the back of the TM.

Yes, they are Timkens, availible anywhere. I'd replace the ones you have. Rust and bearings is NEVER good. Clean everything else up really well.

I wrote a whole post about this very subject a while back. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?31824-Civy-truck-to-MIL-trailer-wiring-info&highlight=trailer+wiring

Condition codes are meaningless, no matter if it is a manned site, unmanned, inspections allowed or not.

Beltfed34 on ebay sells the wheel cyinders for the M1101 series trailer cheap.

Were the hand brakes dragging?

trailer bearings are trailer bearings are trailer bearings. Makes no difference, military or civilian. Any decent repair shop can pull, inspect, repack/repair bearings. When you put the hand brakes on, can you hear something moving in the drum? It is possible the shoes are stuck/dragging on...

the trailers electrical system and the brake system have nothing to do with each other. Plugging in the lights will not fix/make the brakes work.

Amtech sells them. Not cheap.

They are all different sizes.
