    Rebuilding FAV #91

    Says its a Sea Dog Line model 422310. Sounds like a boat item. Has all the light switches and lighter. Had HID lights so maybe had a hard time connecting to the military switch. It is a mess under the dash. I'm going to trash it all and put in a new M151 harness.

    I didn't see that one either. So the VIC-1 box fit snug against a gusset on each side?

    My FAV just got to my house. I will take some measurements for you while it is apart. Easy to get to.

    Rebuilding FAV #91

    The paint is applied over full camo by a previous owner (OD green, brown and Tan paint coming thru the white paint in several places) in California who turned it into a dune buggy. At least from 2001-2009 it had California off-road tags and still has stickers on frame. Holes are drilled in the...

    General Questions

    When installing the floor, do the side baskets go on first and the floor goes over the edge of the basket mount or does the floor go on first and the basket mounts go on over the floor?

    Rebuilding FAV #91

    It arrived on tuesday and I have done an inventory of parts. The only big item missing is the fenders and the front fender brackets. Everything else is there but needs rebuilding like the brakes, CV joints and seats. It was last on the road in 2009 in Arizona.

    I am sure he will be a wealth of help. This is my second FAV build but sure is a huge jigsaw puzzle. Should be fun.

    Rebuilding FAV # 90

    That brings up a funny story about how easy I can get confused... When I got my FAV delivered I noticed that tag on the dash. I have seen it on other FAV's too. I was trying to figure out what it meant. I saw FL on it and as a person who lives in Florida I naturally thought that somehow this FAV...

    VIN verification and the titling saga...

    Thanks to our local MVPA chapter in Florida, we got a bill passed by the state legislators to make it easier to get a title and tag for former military vehicles. Since they never had a title, the state now allows the owner to provide receipts or bill of sale documents. Having a Nomenclature...

    Rebuilding FAV # 90

    These will all be #90. A lot of them were posted here back in 2012-2015 before the FAV section was added. I think back then there was a general category of "other 1/4 ton vehicles" that I put thm in. Have no idea where they are now! Thought I would put them back on the site now that there is a...

    This is "behind the wall" at Russells in 2012. This area is not open to the public and are vehicles that may be restored or used for parts or sold at some later date. Zoom in on the area circled and you will see 4 FAVS. Mine is the one on the left. It sits next to a pile of tracks that you can...

    Rebuilding FAV # 90

    Here is the day it was delivered to my house in Orlando.. Anyone who has had a vehicle delivered sight unseen knows how special this day is. They brought it in a 10-car open transporter. The extra parts, fuel tank, lights, suspension parts were all stowed inside the FAV on the floor and seat...
