It is a rare Home Depot special. Sorry, I never said it was a military ladder. We are going to come up with a bolt-on step for the fuel tank steps. I can get in without the ladder my old knees will thank me if I use the ladder. Thinking about I can put a chain or rope on the body handle and...
Many of you know I sold my last truck a couple of years ago. It was my first truck so I was a little said to see it leave on a wrecker (no brakes).
I had been looking for a M915A1 and had basically given up any hope of finding one I could afford and that wasn't in Puerto Rico.
My wife and I...
While it sort of looks cool it does illustrate the flaws of humans thinking that the current state of AI is in fact intelligent, it clearly isn't. It can do things really well and I use it several times a week at work just to pose what-if questions.
And we are applying for a grant to build...
I read this thread and was amazed to find a military truck that wasn't water tight. Who knew.
(Yes, that is sarcasm if I was too subtle.)
I can't wait to see the finished truck. I won't say I liked painting an MV but it wasn't that bad.
I have read the whole thread and while I am a supporter of military generators what you have asked for is a civilian version and I agree with Coug.
There are a couple of 003s here on the property and I have never used them for a power outage. Even though they aren't mine I can use them if I...
I never noticed that it was possible to throw yourself out of HMMWV. I've only driven one at the Georgia Rally. I see people all the time driving their lifted jeeps and they all look like they will out without a High-G maneuver.
Seatbelts are a good thing.
I have seen two former military pieces of hardware at Hamvention in Dayton being used as mobile Ham shacks.
The first, at the old Hara Arena location where the operator had put an S-250 on the back of a pickup and the other at the new location where someone had built up an M110X trailer.
I...
I'm sure there are others but I have only seen one trailer setup personally that looked similar. It is a great use for a former military trailer. Don't you need to use the corner jacks for support?
I have a M101A2 that I kept original but added PVC tubes on each side for sectional flag poles...
That is the first M101A2 I have seen that had that tire/wheel combination. They are locking ring wheels, not split rim.
You could call around and ask shops if they do locking ring rims NOT split rims. Say split rim and I'd venture a guess that most will go running and screaming away. You can...
Welcome to the site. My Brother is getting ready to put a Deutz Diesel along with a PTO generator on an M353 or M101 or 116. I don't know which. I should know since they are all sitting outside my window.
