    output voltage crowbar

    It would be way to late in the game if you wanted to shut off the gen. Your best bet is a power conditioner, where the power conditioner shut down, rather then the generator. They are on sale at GL and have alarms and monitoring for all three phase voltages, current, load, voltages, etc. The...

    Doing a wheelie in a M-49 - A Recovery of a Deuce

    Spinning and hopping, and left some tread on the ground. All a good point DH, and I'm sure it varies by locality, even within a state. I got mine from Columbus, Ga. growing up in the 60s. If you could spin or hop out a tire, and it left black rubber on the ground, it was a wheelie. I can see...

    Doing a wheelie in a M-49 - A Recovery of a Deuce

    Chasing Dennis down a dirt road was like Bo chasing Luke. He seems to get a edge on the dirt, whether he is empty or carrying a 13,000 pound load. When I heard RayK got another MV from GL, this one a M35A2 with winch, I offered to help out with the recovery. He helped me a bunch during the...

    Need new brake lines for a M101A3

    You are soooooo right serious_lee. I bought a brake line from O'Reilleys today for my M-37. Unfortunately, they only had 72" length and I wanted 84". I improvised and used a different routing, and today I took my M-37 out for a ride for the fist time in about six months. What Joy. Just buy the...

    I'm with ya on properly displaying the flag. I just don't understand where all this came from??? My flag is new, not faded, properly displayed for those outside coming in, and there are no tears. It has never been outside in the weather, and is displayed hanging from the ceiling in the same...

    Check your front wheel studs

    That's a good post Ron. Very professionally written. I'll check mine, but not sure how to do it fully. Would I have to remove those 400 pound wheels? Magnifying glass? Any further recommendation on how one would go about making a cursory look without removing all wheels. I'm sure all people...

    Cannot tell you how many conventions and meetings I have been to where the flag has been hanging from the ceiling like this, military and civilian. Yes, the doors are to the left and the flag is displayed for visitors entering from the outside. What you see is the back of the flag. You guessed...

    Solargizer vs. hood star

    The White star is the National Symbol and should be treated as such even though they were pretty much so phased out in the 1970s. The latest military markings manuals do allow for black stars on OD green trucks, however, in the 3" category. Those are usually verticle stars for bumpers and...

    Solargizer vs. hood star

    That's fine, it's your truck. The next best alternative is to leave the star off. It's going to look plain stupid and be inappropriate if you drop it down the hood to much. You don't mount anything on top of the star. You don't obstruct it.

    Solargizer vs. hood star

    Neither. Sorry. But I would still move the solargizer. The star, if used, is far more important to do right then any solargizer. The holes can be patched if not painted yet.

    Post your m37 pictures

    Two mirrors are always a good idea. If I can find or make a bracket for that right side, I'll add another, even though my father's did not have one, back in 1957-58. After finding out my M-37 was a Marine version, I decided to just go with that, even though it will not perfectly replicate my...

    Post your m37 pictures

    I can't believe I just spent the last two hours mounting a mirror, but I loved every minute of it. Anyone else might have done it in 15 minutes. What joy to finally have my first mirror up. It was so dangerous driving without one, and not being able to see out the rear window. Keep in mind, I...

    Post your m37 pictures

    What a beautiful install. Those mounting brackets around the door hinge look like they were custom made for the M-37. The 90 degree angle brackets also look just like the ones for the bullet light. Mine are different. I might reshape mine based on these pictures. As always Storm, your MV work...

    Post your m37 pictures

    Steve, it does help, where I can see the location, but not the detail. For some reason, I can't open it up and get the normal view. All I can get is this thumbnail, so I cannot see how many mounting bolts are on it. I thought that might help because I'm not sure if your mounting plate is the...

    Post your m37 pictures

    I love all these pictures. Question: My M-37 came without mirrors. I purchased the 6" round one, and the mounts look pretty much the same. Mine is a six hole mount, with three above the stem, and three below, in a triangular pattern. I'm looking at all these pictures for a good close up of how...

    pulling 12v without a batt imbalance

    Good Grief! Why does everything have to turn into a "I'm smarter then you are" type of argument. Once again, this has just become ridiculous! Maybe we should just stay on track and answer his question. I wish I knew more about CUCVs but I've never been in one. I would refer all to the post...

    pulling 12v without a batt imbalance

    This is leading into an argument based on semantics now. What that really is, is called a converter. It converts one form of DC to another. The way it does it, is it "essentially" converts DC to a form of AC by chopping the DC, and making a square wave out of it. You take the square wave, which...

    Simple question

    You get more than an inch with the GMC wheels and mudder tires. But not six inches. I put up pictures of the HWWMV tires and GMC next to each other in another post but can't remember where.

    Simple question

    The Pacific Coast has the highest prices by far for MV related vehicles. I would sell a M1101/1102 in excellent condition for $995 here. I like them all. They all have different purposes for different applications. You just have to decide what to use them for. And if nothing else, if you're...
