Most of y'all on here already know this - Technically, the term is "lock ring" rather than split ring. What scares most folk is not understanding the difference between these type wheels and the old split rims of which many horror stories are told. In 20+ years of dealing with these lock-ring...

I did, and am amazed at how real you are making all this look. Most impressive work indeed! I'm very glad to have helped in any way. Cheers

The question has been answered by the Evil Doc, this is just for general information. The only time I can think of that you'd see six lugs on an M101 is back when they were used with M715s, and then only if the trailer had lost a tire in the field and had the M715's spare on it. So very...

I am perfectly aware of that, thus my question. Cheers

Please clarify which M151 in the picture is the one being voted on. From the nomination thread - " I nominate my M151a1. (MERDC in the rear) " This to me says it is the MERDC camo one behind the OD one, which means we're voting on a vehicle that we haven't really seen yet? The first...

That is astounding! I am very impressed with your work. Cheers

Many Humvees have that pioneer rack mounted on top of the hood. A lot of other vehicles just have them tossed inside loose somewhere. Cheers

Pioneer tool rack. Cheers PS - Looks like we all answered at once!

I was stuck using the really small bullet blackout lights, which is why I went with the the lenses I did after some experimentation. Your lenses definitely look like they'll work better for that slightly larger light. They look really good and "stock" with the lights off too, which is...

I've had good luck with Berkeley Classics. They don't require everything to be garaged, which helps me with the big trucks. Cheers

I had a similar problem with a very small draw in my M1028A2, it took about two weeks, but it would kill my rear battery. A friend, who is a professional and a whiz at CUCV electrics, spent a long time trying to track it down, checked everything we could think of and all tested good. I...

Very impressive work! I did something similar with the front blackout marker lights on my Mighty Mite, since they didn't come from the factory with turn signals. I cut amber reflector lenses with the focus circle in the middle to fit the holes, using that type because the light holes were...

No worries, I didn't take it personally. Actually, I probably worded my original poorly, I should have said "charger/maintainer", as it has settings for several functions, from 6v to 24v. ;) Cheers

Sorry, neglected to get back on this. Here are some pictures from the original auction. I had saved screen shots of the actual auction, but they are not in my file here, I think they are stuck in the depths of my old computer that slammed shut one day. :cautious: Cheers

To each his own, but mine has lit up lights successfully for about 18 years, so I'm going to call it reliable test method. Cheers

That would be a normal leakage of air for these trucks. And it's a good idea to drain the air tanks when you are done for the day anyway, to blow out any moisture that may accumulate in the system. ;) Cheers

In use by the military, LED lights have proven not to be nearly as reliable as they had been claimed to be. It is not uncommon to have a partial (as in some of the LEDs work, some don't in one light) to total failure of entire sections of the light. I see a lot of these where one or more parts...

I'll look at my files when I get home this evening. If I remember correctly, it was sold by the Charleston County SC sheriff's office around 2008. Final bid was something like $18k, not including fees etc. I would have tried harder to get it, but I was working on my V100 at that time. When...

Well, that explains why George stopped responding to my emails, I didn't realize he had passed. Never met him personally, but he seemed a nice fellow. I didn't know him at the time, but when the vehicle was auctioned off by the agency that had it, it became obvious he wanted it a lot more than...

That is cool! Cheers
