    Door sag

    So in the auto body world, new hinges are the fix-- however, in the event that the hinge is not readily available, we use bronze bushings . It will require the services of a machine shop, but essentially, the hinge is drilled out on center, bushings pressed in, and a new pin inserted.

    Door sag

    I am willing to bet the pin on the upper hinge of the drivers door is shot-- We see that in my inlaws' body shop quite often. It makes sense that the driver's door is showing the issue and the pass door is perfect-- the drivers door sees the most use and many times is also used as a form of...

    Map of States That Are or Are Not HMMWV Friendly

    Nebraska is green-- thanks to a legislative bill pushed through by Senator Tom Brewer, any vehicle which one can show has a military connection qualifies for a former military vehicle tag-- this goes for foreign vehicles as well. Otherwise one can easily get regular tags for pretty much anything...

    NE LED lightbars

    Hello all, I have a small quantity of 2100 series 48" LED lightbars for sale. These came off of base security and DOD police vehicles. They are all fully tested and working with no broken lenses. I am asking $125 each. I know that some people here are involved in fire/rescue and may have...

    Making my M35A2 submersible

    On the m35 trucks the slobber tube has a tapered end for a piece of hose to slip on-- the easiest way was to use a short piece of hose, one end on the slobber tube, the other on a T fitting. (Picture a T tipped on its side). The lower part of the T would then have a ball valve, and after that a...

    R.I.P.--73M819--Ron Harris

    That trip was one of my best memories of Ron as well...... and for another return trip to NE from NJ, he agreed to drive one of my wheel chocks (ahem, cucv's). I kid you not, he saw a plastic viking helmet sticking out of a box, grabbed it, and wore it on that trip in the cucv. He also messed...

    Black lights.

    I know that the lights are in fact ripped off by chi-com copycats-- here is one way to tell: - Look closely at the wires-- true mil contract wiring would have casing (insulation) markings indicating either prestolite or southwire-- any chinese characters are a dead giveaway of a counterfeit. I...
