    Pm'ing Pic's

    Is it that we are not allowed to post pics to PM's anymore or that the function is not working properly? I am not finding anything in the rules under the Private Messaging section regarding this issue.

    Pm'ing Pic's

    Posting Pics, without URL, downloaded from your deivce The "Manage Attachment" button does not appear at the bottom of the "Go Advanced" PM page. I click the "Insert Image" box above the PM window, but it asks to upload pics only from a URL. How does one upload pics to a PM directly from files...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I cored out a hole on the winch left side bracket to make it easier to adjust the drab brake. Originally this is a very poor design. All I need now is a large flat tip screwdriver. I also shimmed the spring with some washers and a 1/4" nut to get a little more tension out of it. The brake works...

    Adjustment tool: Drag Brake 20K lb Front Winch

    Makincold's MWO Complete Problem solved! Thanks to Makincold's MWO. Took about ten minutes to core out the access hole and now I have a clean shot at the adjustment screw. Just pop a large flat tip screwdriver in there and adjust away. I did remove the screw and added some spacers (washers and...

    Memorial Day Events '14 - Los Angeles Area

    My usual Memorial Day mission has fallen through for this year. Do any of our Los Angeles area brothers know of any events/ceremonies desiring an MV appearance on Monday the 26th. If not I will most likely end up at Los Angeles National Cemetary.

    I am looking to get a M923A2 in CA and need to know how to register one.

    Gulfway does not have a "garage" clause last I checked.

    I am looking to get a M923A2 in CA and need to know how to register one.

    First download the most current DMV commercial handbook. Study it very well. Also, bone up on standard driver's laws. If you don't have it already, get trained up to drive a large and heavy truck. To get the Class B permit (this portion is all written) good for one year you will have to take at...

    m813 winch problem

    Here's an overall pic and a left side pic of my roller. Between the close tolerances of the roller and the its side brackets and the anti-pinch/rub plate there is no chance of the wire rope getting caught up there. The "J" type anti-pinch/rub plates were a later addition and an improvement...

    m813 winch problem

    Well, in studying photos of other similar winches, that spacer seems to somewhat unique to my winch. It is only on the right side and is 1/2" thick. You'll notice it is also beveled on one side just like the roller itself in order to clear the vertical rollers. There is hardly any gaps on either...

    m813 winch problem

    I took a pic of the same area on my winch for your reference. Your winch may have been serviced or rebuilt prior to your ownership and the tech/mechanic neglected to install the spacer. It seems strange the the two cases would separate and cause this. Is there a spacer like this on the other...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Thanks. I can just reach it with the tailgate open.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Yeah, it might have been designed for that. As a matter of fact, the hood I have on the truck now had a third hold-down on the passenger side about 15" forward of the standard one which is about where the hood would land when open of if there was a gun ring mounted. I took it off, but that might...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Foldaway cup holders. An improved raised hood kit (NSN: 2510-01-281-1273, PN#12356798). They are kind of hard to find and can be a little pricey. Mounts to windshield top right. It folds and clips to windshield frame in the stowed position. It is also removed completely by simply detaching...
