    What did you do to your trailer today.

    A good point, as you can have LEDs and still look period correct with older vehicles, on which the full LED faces just don't look right. Cheers

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Various trailers need an auxiliary power wire to provide for equipment items they might have. In the case of my FHT (Humvee 5th-wheel shelter carrier) 37 provides the 24v needed to power the electric brakes. The downside was that the M1028A2 I pull it with didn't have power to the 37 pin on...

    It should stick just fine. I had truck wheels powder coated gloss black, I gave them a quick scuff with a red Scotchbright pad and painted over them with flat paint. That was 15 years ago, and the paint is still on them. ;) Cheers

    Thanks. I'd love to see the picture if you can find it! :jumpin: I've found nothing so far myself. But then, it took me four years to find an inservice picture of the Air Force CMT-F trailers Pawnshop and I bought many years ago. ;) And I pulled that light - while the lens is glued on, it...

    Your link has good stuff in it, thank you. (y) For the MST7G I actually have these, which I sourced off fleabay. Same look as the originals and allow interoperability with my 12v and 24v trucks without swapping anything. I'll use standard military LED tail-lights for the same reason, but I...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    I recovered my MST7G trailer from a farmer's cow pasture. I found it a couple of years ago, partially sunk into the ground with a bunch of junk stacked on it, and he finally agreed to sell it to me. First, we got that big ol' pump off the box, then using various jacks and a lot of cribbing we...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Finally got the S788 shelter mounted onto my FHT. The FHT is something of a mystery trailer. It has no data plates, and there are no signs that it ever had any. I believe it was built by now-defunct Laguna Industries, because there are tiny stamps of their cage code on most of the individual...

    For the enlightenment of those unfamiliar with the Austin we are referring to - the Austin K9, a truly lovely truck. Came in other versions as well (cargo, wrecker, ambulance, etc.) Cheers

    Now that is a very nice trailer! What is it? Is that an Austin truck behind it? (the tan one) Cheers

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    I wish I had bought more too. I got used to buying M105s and M101s off Ft Hood for $125-$150. Pawnshop, Eric, and I splurged bigtime buying like-new M105A3s, which went for an exorbitant $260 apiece! (Somehow, I later ended up with all three :shock:). I thought M1102s and the CMT-F were...

    That is a cool trailer! I have wanted one since I drooled over them in my son's motor pool on Camp Pendleton. :drool: Cheers

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    It's pretty straightforward, with just a few mods needed. I'll do a complete write up on it, a separate thread, in the next couple of days, share the tidbits I learned. Cheers PS - done.... https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?169546-LMTV-troop-seats-in-an-M1082&p=2032452#post2032452

    Well, not today, but yesterday, so I could carry Vietnam vets in today's parade - finished adding LMTV troop seats to my M1082. Cheers
