A word of advice. Have you soft doors zipper webbing restitched as the military stitching was not UV protected properly and WILL fail over time. One other thing grab the metal zipper tab when opening and closing the window as if you use the fabric loop it pulls on the webbing much more. Mark

I know that "Commerce" ins and "Plymouth Rock" will insure our trucks but Geico won't. Mark

There is very little you can do to quiet down these things to any real level without changing the truck into something it's not. Most go with an intercom system for the noise. Either a Vic system or an aviation setup.. I like the hard top but the real hardtop and turret system is great but will...

That color is close to mine.. I've had many people ask me what color mine is. It's a WWII Panzer green/gray with an extra shot of black. I'm a big fan of the old mono colors. Mark

Thank you for the correction. I was assuming it was a standard Hmmwv setup. If he has the ability to rebuild it himself or send it off to be rebuilt as it will sure save some coin in this case. Mark

I meant to say they came from somewhere and were not developed for the Hmnwv.

I did not know you had the 12k sorry. I will see what I can find for you but I have zero doubt they started out life for the 12k Hmmwv. Mark

Yeah looks like the caliper is frozen and needs to be replaced/rebuilt. These calipers allow for hot swapping the pads which saves a hell of a lot of time. The parts cross reference to the 1987 AMC Eagle 4x4 and will save a lot of money over the Hmmwv listed parts. The brake system for the...

Oh I agree it's so much easier to just tow whatever you need and be able to leave it anywhere. I have to wonder just what was the R&D costs for this system. Mark

You don't want to put too much tension on the belts as it beats up the bearings. Rule of thumb for me is about 1 1/2ft span you want around 1/2" or there about defection and they have tools for this unless your used to doing it with your fingers. Do each belt have about the same...

Not sure what rpm they would go for when running as a generator. I would guess the target rpm would be around 2200 tp 2500rpms. The hood vent and grill are designed to deflect air down into the engine bay and into the engine bay but that would not help running static under load. I think they...

More pics on it on the auction site. I would guess that unit at full tilt will use at least 50 to 60hp out of the anemic NA 6.5. I would also think cooling would be a big issue with the truck static. Mark

Info on this strange setup.. Unit is equipped with a 30kw 3-phase generator sandwiched between the 6.5L diesel engine and the 4-speed automatic transmission. This is believed to be one of two prototypes that were made. The generator is designed to feed a rectifier behind the passenger seat...

I saw on Flebay someone is selling an M1123 with a 30kw gen mounted between the engine and transmission. Anyone have any info on this setup as I was unaware of this. Very interesting. Mark

Really beautiful truck. I think I'm in love.

Boy that's a strong green paint you have there. I'd like to see some pics when she's done. Mark

Yeah my old box did not have the afterglow circuit but whatever as long as it works and my setup starts down to 10 degrees instantly so no complaints. The KDS yellow label is supposedly the best out there but I have two spare boxes (used but good) so I'm all set for a while. Maek

Did the filter O-ring seat properly? If the O-ring was damaged it will cause all kinds of fluid issues. Mark

A very quick little video I made of the operation with my box. Mark

Where did you get them? Mark
