Welcome aboard! Cheers

One of the main things to consider is the condition of the original plastic, they do tend to break easily now. As mentioned above, I'd probably go for a replacement unless you are a super stickler for originality. ;) Cheers

Looks like 383 green on my screen, so looks "right". [thumbzup] If you were going for "Marine green" (24052), yeah, it is a bit bright. But it looks super as is. Cheers

I have used Novus 2 polish for over 20 years. We used it at work to keep the lenses on emergency vehicle light bars clear. When I got my Unimog, it had a cloudy soft-plastic rear cab and side windows that you couldn't see through, so I tried the Novus on those. Turned the plastic crystal...

Much as I liked Gertrude in the black, I reeeeeally like how she looks green!! Cheers

This probably sounds more negative than I meant it to. I was just thinking that of the multiple vehicles I own, all but my two M931s are older than 1988, so under this law as presented above, the 931s are seemingly the only vehicles I could drive in Kansas, and in 3 years I'd have to park them...

Better than nothing, I suppose. Cheers

That "turkey" is actually pretty cool! Cheers

This thread is a tad more....interesting...than most months.... rofl Cheers

Our contribution to the Veterans Day parade in Austin this morning. Started out raining and murky, but dried up for the parade and the 50+ mile drive home. In the lead is my M37, on long-term loan to Reloader64's USAF veteran dad, followed by Mrs Reloader64's tan M1009, Mrs M813rc's M1009 and...

I was kind of afraid of that. Can you tap a wedge down behind it maybe? Cheers

The other end of that bolt is in a keyhole shaped slot. Loosen the lower bolt, and the similar one that is about level with the bed sides. Pull the silver pin back in the slot (away from the bed side) and hold it. Lift the upright straight up about 1/2" and pull it away from the bed side. IF...

As mentioned above, the threaded holes for 2-point belts came with the truck, you just have to find them and clean them out. If you want 3-point belts, here (post 25) is briefly how I put Humvee seatbelts in mine. If you choose to go that route, I can provide more detail...

Thanks, Tim. Turns out that a lot of what I thought was flaky rust was actually just dirt and crud crusted over the top and rust coloured. Doh! Cheers

Well, Larry the Sandblaster is away and won't be available for a couple of weeks. :unsure: I was looking at the bed today and decided to have a go at the rusty area with a screwdriver to knock some of the loose stuff off and see how bad it actually is. Turns out that with the crusty crud...

I thought I was old when I first voted on this in 2009. Now I'm even more surprised when I look in a mirror. But I haven't grown up yet! Too bad the poll couldn't track itself and adjust the age groups accordingly, but it would also have to track the folks who have slipped away from us...

So... after a long and exceptionally dry summer, I get to the point where I'm ready to have the inside of the bed sandblasted and get on with painting the truck and along comes the rain. :unsure: Don't get me wrong, I'm always happy to see rain, since it makes plants grow, and when plants...

Looks like one of the S-61Ns owned by Construction Helicopters. Cheers

Well, rats!! I thought we had that one pinned down... :shrugs: Cheers

Seems like my computer is just a jerk then! :p Cheers
