Passive booby traps are a felony most places, including California for sure. Although generally speaking if you catch them in the act there's not much limit to what you can do. It just can't be self activated.

Today's project is the resolution of the seating issue. Pictures of the problem, and the solution. Now to fab brackets.... I'm just going to mount the MRAP seat onto the springer base. I'm going to retain the original seatbelt that's part of the springer base.

More than I'd consider putting in a pickup truck....

Apparently NE DMV is now saying no to all MV's, and has stated they plan to revoke titles - https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?178427-Licensing-M915-s&p=2128751#post2128751

Interesting. Personally I would want to reward that company by giving them the other vehicles as well, even if higher $. By the same token, if i had to go to another company for my MV's, I'd move everything there including the house. The message I want to send is "being MV friendly brings...

My poor truck has been on blocks for almost two years. I had a chance to sell the G177's off it (THANKS CLINT!), with the intent of replacing them with 395's within just a couple of weeks. Life got in the way and it didn't' happen. Meanwhile the blocks sank into the ground, and what I have...

Yell obscenities at it.... Got towbars?

And the fun continues...

Funny you should mention that. Today I'm mounting some onto my M925. It's a workout.... for me and the redtruck. Pull the front mudflaps before you start. And I highly recommend these offset lugnuts. You'l need them on the front axle anyway on an 809series truck.

You'd think the belt would slip with any serious pull. Obviously it doesn't or it wouldn't be made that way. Very interesting.

Either HEMTT rim works without rubbing up front.

The sprag doesn't go crazy trying to engage?

If I'm still in KS then, I'll be there. M925 or HMMWV....

Has anyone actually done desplined hubs on an M809series truck? I think there's a show stopper....

My impressions, spread out over a bunch of these trucks 939series, 809series and M44series....total of maybe 50,000 miles. Regarding ride smoothness, they vary. Every truck is different. I drove an M931A2 from Indianapolis to Waco TX by way of Columbus OH. I didn't notice it being any better...

How well do desplined hubs work with the sprag transfer?

Looks like the seats in mine... Good seating only goes so far. The energy still has to go somewhere. I suggest you try out the seats in it before contemplating replacement/upgrade. The long wheelbase should help some. My experience has been that the taller tires also help some. I attribute...

The truck will try it's level best to beat you to death. If you've never ridden in one, it's beyond my ability to describe.... Your dad is 75 or so? Riding across country is a real risk of compression fractures in the vertebra. I really don't recommend it for him...

I find the clutch really difficult to reach. Not enough room between the steering wheel and the top of the clutch travel. I'm 6'2".
