    Good use for old fmtv tire.

    Another 5 minutes, finished one side. Blade is about toast however. Should have bought the 3 pack! The other side might be easier since it wasn't shredded, and I kept getting hung up on the loose belts!. Water had gotten in there and rusted the bead locker ring.

    engine machine shop in SoCal?

    These guys are well rated. I almost had them do the engine in my Avalanche but ended up finding a crate motor available to put in right away. Had some good conversations with them though and they seem pretty reputable. https://www.machinetechracing.com/

    Good use for old fmtv tire.

    I was wondering if there was a good use for the tire tread of a blown out military tire such as a good year MV/T. I figured if the sidewalls were cut off and it was cut and stretched out, you would have a strip about 11 ft long. That could be used as a traction mat, as a tree saver, as a...

    Restore fmtv rims paint or powder coat?

    While changing the blown out tire I noticed my wheel is a bit rusty and a bit rough looking. Is it recommended to paint it or to powder coat it? What kind of media blasting or stripping should be done first? Walnut shell, sand, etc... And if one was like that I figured more would be. I was...

    Looking for M1078A1 ABS troubleshooting guide

    Which of those things you mentioned actually connects to something on the vehicle? Is it that connector that's next to the driver's left knee? Is it a wire with that connector on one end and a USB plug or something to connect to the computer on the other side or is it some kind of wireless dongle?
