Upcoming addition....
Well, there is one thing this truck has been missing since the addition of the Lightweight Weapon Station. Something that has been an iconic symbol of military might. Something that was designed towards the end of WWI and continued through WWII on into today. It continues...
Route Clearance Light Covers (2nd batch run)
I made a second batch run of my home made Route Clearance Light covers for this truck. They were a little sun-faded and my M923A1 really needed a set so I transferred the old set to the 923 and made new ones for the 925. I used USGI Cordura Nylon...
Safety-Blind Spot Mirrors
This is a project I have wanted to do since I recovered my first 5 ton a few years ago. I recovered a M923 from Goodguyzy from Medford, Oregon area to home. This was roughly about 450-500 miles. Everything was good to go on my recovery trip until I hit the Jantzen...
You can see if this guy tow it to Seattle for you: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?137670-Fort-Bragg-5-ton-assistance Thinking that would make for an incredibly long journey;-)
Praying for a safe journey for you. Take it slow and don't get in a hurry. Get to know your truck during the first leg of your journey. Just like any truck, she'll have her own set of noises, vibrations, minor clanks and whatnots. You'll get to know her habits up grades and down grades. Just...
My recommendation. Bring the following items:
-M939 operators manual
-belts (esp. One of those linking emergency belts should your water pump go)
-fuel filter
-wiper blades
-pillow to sit on
-blanket
-rain gear ( though you're "enclosed" you'll still get rained on
-tools
-battery terminal brush...
Thank you Derek. I appreciate the kind words my friend. You know, tinkering around with this hobby is fun in itself. However, being able to help and inspire others to think outside the box is why I do this. Sure it takes time to take pics, upload, download, and explain everything. But it's worth...
Safety-Rear Marker Lights Electrical
Today I used the very little 15 minutes time I had to wire in the license plate light and the three rear marker lights. As mentioned above, I used the instrument panel spider wire harness. It was the best fit for this project because I needed 4 power outlets...
Safety-Rear Marker Lights
Along with the back up alarm, I decided to add the three marker lights. I was unsuccessful securing the M939 under bed marker light brackets. Instead, I was able to source M35A3 marker light brackets for $10/each from TNJ Murray. Recently, I picked up the three NOS...
Safety-MRAP 24V Back Up Alarm
Due to the inherit size of this truck, I decided this was a must for the truck. I have many kids in the neighborhood that migrate to the sound of the NHC250. With that, they seem to want to migrate around the truck while it is in motion. I found this MRAP 24volt...
License Plate Mount
Well, I wasn't going to do this project but a prompting from a lawyer convinced me otherwise. Last Fall Little League season, a father of my son's teammate informed he didn't like being pulled over. He said my truck was a bit of a magnet and highly advised me I needed a...
