Oh, I also used it to move my M715 to the shop. I wanted to see how the tow light kit @gimpyrobb and @ZiggyO sent me worked.... I love it!

Checked my MRAP light to find out why the fronts weren't working. Turns out the plug was almost out.... I found that out AFTER I had dismounted two of the front top ones. The center top just buzzes, so on a other day ill pull it, open it and figure out why, so right now its the only inop one...

It is a 4k press, and it didn't "max" out, ya know?

Ok, not a video, but I took pics. Pressing out the old bushing note the plate on top to protect the grooves for the retaining plate on the new bushing: Literally flip it over and line up your retaining plate: And all seated... it took longer to align everything than press it: I...

Will do. I'll be using it tomorrow after my new bushing gets here.

I'm in the process of changing out torque rod bushings, and I have to say, this tool from Big Mike's makes ALL the difference when pressing them out/in. And while I wait for some more stuff to come in, I went ahead and stenciled Berthas registration on her so it can be seen more clearly by...

Apparently I can't keep Bertha together.... or she is conspiring to keep me from working on the M37.... I managed to lose the top of my exhaust... So if anyone has one, please let me know!

So... after a week of fighting her EVERY. STEP. OF. THE. WAY! I finished changing out the dog bone bushings (many thanks to Jim at Army6x6.com for the assist!) Adjusting the axle Done! Then it was time to wash her up... Then get her dressed for the road trip this weekend to hang out...

I don't think mine have been changed.... ever. .. ended up having to get the gas wrench out. Then a 16 lb maul...

I'm in the process of changing out a lower rear torque rod bushing. What a PITA.... Between the paint and gunk on the bolts (which I wire brushed in an attempt to clean them), ratcheting the axel into position so I can access the bolts around the torque rod... it's fighting me every step of the...

Since I went to the 16R20s, my spare will no longer fit in the spare carrier, so in order to facilitate getting it into and out of the bed, I added a 1,000lb hoist.

I'm not familiar with the Amazon kit, but I can for SURE tell you they light up the world! And the search lights are just as bright Also, I'm pretty sure the Amazon kit doesn't have infrared.... (cell phone cameras can pick up IR). It also has a dimming function on the controller...

Independent fact checkers determined that was a lie... 😁😆😅

Well, in the process of installing an Eyecon MRAP light kit.... I'll post a full thread when complete... Lots of mods from the "stock" kit.

I'm offshore so I haven't been able to do ANYTHING!!! 😡😡😡🤬😡🤬😡

In a nutshell:

When I bought my 5 ton, I couldn't get the back sliding windows open for **anything**. Started prying and thought "that's a good way to break glass", so what I did was remove the entire assembly, took the window frames apart (4 bolts, very easy), removed the glass and gaskets from the frame...

Ordered and received a missing bow from army6x6.com, had the cargo cover repaired and installed it...

I also unfolded to clean my cargo cover, and in the process found the back panel threads had completely dry rotted, so I brought the cover to a local awning repair place to have it resewn

While not a "top of mind" issue, theft of an MV is always a worry, and I had "buy locking door handles" on my to-do list... well, a couple weeks ago a friend sent a Facebook link about a 5 ton stolen from the next Parish over and is still missing, so it went to the forefront of my thoughts...
