    just thinking outloud

    you know you could build a brace that runs down from the lifting shackles to two heavy duty tires. That would support an A-frame lifting frame to a pulley with cable come along. When the lifting rig pulled the motor you could drive it out pulling the rig along the tires.

    Bought a Bombadier Iltis

    i think 2010 is the year they were finally able to be imported into the US as an antique. The EPA guidelines for import are void at 25 years. Hopefully we may see a few more in the years to come. Good timing too as the Pinzgauers and Unimog supply seem to be drying up if not outright...

    Up to date military radio

    on the display side of things instead of ripping a military radio apart why not get a Ipod with a radio kit that transmits in the FM range and a radio that recieves in FM. That way you could fake radio traffic or play music like a AFN radio station. I think that would be cool as everything...

    Slave jumping

    if that doesnt work you can use a 12v civi starter until yours is rebuilt. you just need to move the starter hotwire from the 24v positive buss bar to the positive terminal on the front battery.

    High pitch whine sound from driver rear tire area.... help

    Pull the tire and repack your bearings if they look good go to the carrier bearing inside the pumpkin. If those are good go to the pinion bearing. Not a huge job and pretty straightforward design. Get your TM and go to work. Bearing noise doesnt necessarily mean failure is right around the...
