    Remove paint but leave CARC!

    I have black spray paint over the original truck numbers. Do you guys recommend using acetone to pull off the paint? Truck is tan and staying tan. I would be concerned that I would just get a smear. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Look for “rfid relay” on a favorite auction site then look for the same picture. They have a better one that has selectable delays. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Looks really good. I am starting desert tan and 95% of the paint is good. M1083 for scale. So, I will stick to that color. There is the standard spray paint when it went to auction. I plan to try to remove that. Not sure if that will accomplish anything but smear it. There are a few nicks...

    That is a good looking truck! How tough is the paint? Do you need to touch up for any other reason than scratch repair? Thanks!

    I just did a search..... failed. Looking for your paint prep and the exact paint people are using. I think it was house paint from Behr? Also, most trucks I see have the paint pealing off of the plastic and rubber parts. How do you prevent this? Is that a CARC issue and the house paint won’t...

    Essential Tools to have for an FMTV? Add your .02

    So, you are the only one to list sizes of sockets....not to question your list, but what sizes does everyone actually think we should carry? I personally would not overlap so fully on the impact sizes. An 8mm 1” drive sounds crazy to me. Also, I would think some sizes you need multiples and...

    Dual voltage alternator compatability question (1505 vs. 1506)
