Will have to build a sub-mount to adapt the A3/HMMWV seat to the spring ride base...
Not in a deuce. Several cars (when I was 16, a front bearing failed on a car I had just bought, taking out the spindle and a week later, one of the rears did the same thing) but no deuces. A bad bearing is definitely noisy, I am just surprised you can hear it in a deuce.
When I read the...
I am impressed you can hear bearing roar in a deuce.
I mean, I can hear noisy transmissions and transfers, but I think I'd have to get it up to speed and kill the engine to hear a bad bearing.
What!! There are HMMWVs for sale?
I had no idea. I haven't seen any posts on Steel Soldiers, Facebook, Fox news, CNN, Good Morning America-nowhere have I seen this mentioned!

Builder77 was hilarious.
One time he bought an enormous truck load of fiberglass M105 racks. By the time he had sold about half of them, he was practically giving them away. At Aberdeen he told me he couldn't sleep because he kept having nightmares about 105 racks.

I have some good footage but I need to edit it. My editor doesn't work with QuickTime and the footage was shot with QT. I either need a free editor that can work with QT or a free converter that can convert QT over to something like mp4, flash, wmv, etc.
Anyone have any suggestions?
