I installed an adjustable pintle setup for my M101A2 and gives me all of the adjustment I need and still keep the surge brakes. I am sure this modification would work with other trailers. Mark

I know they can be tuned to get into the CB band (27MHZ) but I want to use it for 2 Meters. I picked up an NOS base and antenna locally and would like to get it functional. Can't find much info for this use. Thanks, Mark

Wait...You painted the ammo cans Black? HERESY ! Save the color they look good. Mark

Sounds like a blast and wish I could be there. I still fire up my old Kenwood TS-520S from time to time. Regards, Mark N1FTC

That is one serious ride. Just how long is that thing? It looks about 35' Big thumbs up! Mark

Looks good! You could have gotten some of the new LED 1156 bulbs that run from 10v to 30v so it is the best of both worlds. I still kept the Lunette system on my M101A2 Nice work

Hi, Thanks for replying as you are the man when it comes to modifications. Yes I remember that pic and you are right it did not look good. But since the MK17 is a short trailer anyway a cut down M35A2 bed might look right and you keep the shortest configuration possible for the MK setup. One...

I really like the MK-48 but it's too **** long with any of the reg trailers and I know you can't drive it without a trailer other than yard movement. I was wondering if you removed the fifth wheel mount from the MK-16 it looks like with a bit of fab work you could mount the M105 bed to it or a...

Ok I believe I found it V-416/TVS-3 http://afspacemuseum.org/displays/Searchlight/

I can't seem to find any info on the trailer itself. Any help would be appreciated. All I could find was the UK modified a US trailer for their searchlight but that would mean we had a searchlight for it. Mark

I would go with 3.42s and it will give you a little better MPG and don't forget the 700R4 has a steep 3.06 first gear, I love my 700R4 but I have it in a 89 Mazda B2200. Mark

With the setup you have I would keep it between 55 and 58mph for a long cruise. Sure it will go faster but you will be beating the crap out of the motor to do it. My Pinzgauer will do 50mph on a preferred cruise of 3500rpms so that all she gets. I know it sucks but these military trucks were...

Yep right on the money about 5 PSI Mark

That Aerokroil is amazing stuff. I've been using it for over 40 years. Mark

One box that I have seen that works well comes from the generator trailer. Hard to find but sure fits the bill if you can locate one. Why don't you mount the spare on this inside out of the way? I know it takes up a little space inside but it's really not much. Mark

You need to use your multimeter on the amp scale to see what’s going on. Voltage drop only give you the coarsest idea there is a problem and it only will show over time. As others have said chances are something was left on or you have corrosion built up on a terminal somewhere and it is...

Painted the Pinzgauer and M101A2 with Valspar Signature paint in a Panzer Gray/Green and used a brush. If you take your time and use a very good brush the results can be amazing and touch ups are a breeze. Mark

Best of both worlds. With this setup I can adjust to many different heights and I also used two 5/8" class 3 retaining pins for the 3" Lunette for quick install/removal.

I had forgotten about that. Thank you :)

Mine has seen heavy rain a number of times now and it has worked flawlessly. I did have to tighten the rope twice as it stretched, I started at the front pulling to the next bow and so on with two wraps of rope and one half hitch. I used 1/2" Manila rope and for the ends I used 5/8" shrink wrap...
