    In need of some technical assistance , m1028

    Found the M1009 I want! NO TITLE. Shipping to AR. Not sure how to begin.

    How about a paragraph or two?! Difficult to read when it’s just one brick of sentences.

    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    The seller is a member here. Has been great so far. If they do show up after the replacement set, I will refuse shipment so he gets 4 tires back. The vendor SS member I tried to buy from initially was more than double the shipping price. Would not come down a cent on tires or shipping. My...

    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    Tires are officially lost. All 4 FedEx hasn’t a clue where they are. Trace has been started. Seller will have to file a claim when required wait time has passed. Seller is wonderful and is sending another set Friday. I am past ready to get this thing to the new location.

    M1101 Expedition build to begin

    If anything, just install a solargizer on it. It doesn’t charge, but maintains a fully charged battery. Or if close to power, install a battery tender.

    headlight and horn, M1009 advice needed

    NOS GM CUCV headlight harness is available on eBay. I bought one for a spare. Just FYI in case you need to go that route. Agree on the grounds. Physically remove and clean up each one and use electrical grease. Just looking will do nothing. Lots of sharp edges up front. Check and follow...

    M1101 Expedition build to begin

    Your wayyy overthinking this!! As noted, just do the proven and time tested cable from vehicles battery via 7-way plug. Depending on the unit, you can run the wind generator as you drive. With that comes high risk of damage from items striking it. I would just charge it with the 7-way and...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Got to see this in person today as the RT66 convoy stopped close by. Looks even better in person! Great layout and attention to detail. Wife saw it also and was equally impressed. Now if I could just get him to make me one........hmmmmm!!

    Rt 66 Convoy 2017 MVPA

    Yes! That was my wife and I. Did you see us at Pops or when you drove by our ranch? We had the 5 ton and some friends and family waving as the convoy drove by the ranch. AntennaClimber met us at Pops. He had a part for me. Was a wonderful experience! Honestly......very emotional too...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Haven't used trailers for a bit. So today, Loaded down the green one with new washer and dryer. Chance of rain next few days and the tarp worked perfectly. Wife loved the fact that you can remove the bows, load trailer, reinstall bows and tarp and her brand new W/D are not affected by...

    thinking of GL auction

    GL doesn't sell military trucks anymore and he's talking about a generator, not a truck.

    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    Only reason I'm putting on new tires is because GP ruined one. Had to install tire boot and liner so the ripped tire could hold pressure. Its ok to move around ranch a bit but definitely not for long term or any distance. Originals (Goodyear) are cracked and weathered, but holding air just...

    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    I was thinking about the glossy OD green. Have the Federal Paint Codes but don't know which one it is. 383 green is always a good choice and will most likely do that if I can't figure out which code for the other. Luckly I don't have to worry about it being seen, unless someone flys over...

    Upgrade or Downgrade

    From someone who also shovels gravel off the back of my M925A2, I say go for it!! I would LOVE a dump truck!! Dumps are harder to find and more expensive when you do. My thoughts anyway..........
