    New M1078A1R

    . I would guess that the charger on the passenger side of the vehicle was a way to have a 12v charging port and not give the ability (to appear) to endorse operation of some sort of mobile device by the driver. Co-Driver or Observer could even have a legitimate reason to use the charging port.

    Two new toys unimog 404

    . No bad mouth. That is just how that plane functioned. But light it up and she would definitely Spit And Get! If I had a choice, and unlimited money - I would own one. .

    Picked up an M1165 - Want to Restore it

    . Yes! Like the drag strip we had out on Highway 16. Never was a problem until the idiot that ran it decided to peddle drugs. He had a choice. Go hang out in the jail, or shut down the race track. Our airport was a little one stripper back when I was born. Now we have 3 (Left, Center and...

    Steering wheel chain

    . Standard Military Issue. With a standard issue padlock. If you haven't changed your column lock and key yet, hang onto that chain.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    . I almost wonder if a one man cross-cut saw wouldn't be a useful thing as well. When a storm comes along, eventually fuel will be a problem. A simple "Man Powered" saw also starts every time...

    Picked up an M1165 - Want to Restore it

    . Hi Eric and Welcome to the Outfit! #1 and #2 - Painting One thing that is REALLY IMPORTANT is that CARC is a carcinogen. Sand it and You Die is the short version of that story. I have trucks that have 20 and 30 year old painted CARC that are definitely faded, at least a little but that...

    Bogie maintenance

    . I kept looking for the tracked vehicle. Haven't seen one yet in this thread... Bogey (Bogie?) wheels are indicated, 3rd up from the bottom left of the picture.

    M1088a1 Camper Build!

    . What amazes me about these M10xX trucks is how PERFECTLY the turret leak drops the water squarely into your lap. Not on your shoulder, not on your leg, but squarely in your lap. I sealed my M1088 and my M1089 and YES, it sure is nice to have a dry cab!

    M1088a1 Camper Build!

    . I would suggest that you have had a truck that an 18 year old drove and left the windows down in the rain. And that hole in the top of the cab leaked or is leaking. These trucks are amazingly tough, but years of just sitting there on the dead line most likely didn't help much either... If...

    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    . Very Nicely Done!

    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    . Might even be worth getting a small electric pump and a filter housing to let the fuel circulate with the truck turned off and just sitting in the driveway. Run it supervised for a while to make sure nothing stupid happens... One hose on the bottom of the tank and the other just pouring it...

    What's the history of the Water Buffalo

    . Need to know that water is roughly 8.33# Per Gallon. Need to know water slosh is going to be a brand new experience if you haven't had a liquid filled trailer behind you. It feels like somebody rammed you from behind the first time you hit the brakes. First slosh forward, just a little bump...
