MTVR Tailgate Ladder Project Not sure if it's my age or my truck is getting taller, but it is getting more and more challenging getting into the bed of the truck. I had a USMC MTVR 7 ton truck tailgate ladder I bought off ebay for $40 last year. Today, I decided to get her installed to ease my...

Ive seen references to the TOW missle but not sure exactly what for. Now that I've got the LWS mounted and ready to go. I am now looking for an M2 or an M3 .50 cal replica of some sort. Definitely no resins for me. I'm after an all metal authentic looking replica. More about that later. Found...

If anyone has questions or see how I installed the LWS. Start at post #103 http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?100847-WSUCougar-s-M925A1-Acquisition-and-Build-Thread/page11&highlight=m925a1

Lollipop Front Turn Signal Project Today I also took care of the "Lollipop" lights. This project was more or less for safety. As all you know, the M939 series truck has a huge blind spot. I felt it was necessary to add these lights to warn cars in my blindspot more than anything else. The front...

Mudflap Fuel/Water Can Mounts Today I took care of a couple odd and ends projects. I finally got around to mounting my fuel/water can mounts on the rear mudflaps. This is something I have done to all my trucks, so it was time. There was nothing special about this project. The lower two mounting...

Ok, now I can get started on this project. I finally got the SF97 from the buyer and got her licensed. More to come later...

Looks outstanding! I too am looking at the gunner's tunnel for my M925A1. I just got my chicken plate installed on my LWS yesterday. Where did you get the .50's?

Truck looks great! Welcome to the 5 ton club!

Yes that will lock out the surge brake. By sticking a bolt through this hole, it'll stop the travel of the lunette assy rearward. I too have locked out the surge brake. You won't brake anything (no pun intended;-) ). Be sure to use at least a Grade 5 or Grade 8 bolt for this application. If you...

LWS Additions (Armor Plate, MK64) Part II More pics of the 40 mike mike ammo tray added to the MK64. I haven't located a replica weapon for this setup yet. Naturally an M2HB comes to mind but may end up putting an M240B Airsoft up there. I still need to locate an M240B/M249 MK64 adapter if I...

LWS Additions (Armor Plate, MK64) I had a little time yesterday before my son's Little League game and today to add some parts to the LWS. Yesterday, I managed to muscle that 100+ lb armor plate to the LWS. That was something else to get up there. I got her up onto the fender and then did a...

Great looking truck!

New Cargo Cover Kit Install Before I won this truck, I was after a RRAD M925A1 soft top truck w/out a cargo cover. In anticipation of this win, I was bidding on a lot of two M939 series cargo cover kits at JBLM. Well, I lost out on the auction only to find I lost to a fellow SS over in New...

Cargo Bed VIC-1 Stations Today I added my usual cargo bed VIC-1 station in the bed of my 925. You will notice I used two C-10456 control boxes. The one towards the headache rack will be used for an LS-454 Loudspeaker. From there, I piggy backed it to the rear VIC-1 station where there will be...

Hahaha now that I'm sitting here looking at the pics, I am now wondering how it worked. I had a cargo strap pulling the whole contraption against the headache rack to keep it from falling back. That weapon tray is really really heavy. Though heavy, you can use that weight to your advantage by...

Lightweight Weapon Station Install Part VI (LWS Mounting) Now that the LWS plate is resting the crossbars, we can loosely mount the seven u-bolts (3 in the rear and 4 up front) that will hold this thing in place. Those tabs on the crossbar I mentioned earlier will now be used. Make sure both...
