Fly it right or not at all. Any other presentation is disrespect. My department got new graphics for the motorcycles a few years ago. They superimposed our department logo over a flying US flag. There were two problems. One was never put a logo covering the flag which was what had happened in...
I have a friend that has a Humvee and wants to get on the site. He has been trying for a over a month and he says is is awaiting verification by the administrator. His SS id is bullet69 and I do not find it in the member directory. I have been trying to help him out after I met him at a work...
That's about right for a truck that is not running. Not sure if you got something else going on. Have him actually check the voltage of each battery with a volt meter and at the same time check the connections at the battery for looseness and corrosion.
Yes it is useful for getting large items into the back of the bed. The pump is a hand pump on the right side of the bed. I was looking at them as they went cheap. I really wanted to get one. They also have built in tool boxes inside the bed behind the wheel well. The lift was used to get the...
Yesterday I pressure washed the tub and the high pressure showed out some weak areas that will need some attention. Today I got out my hydraulic spreader kit and pushed some of the damaged areas back into shape enough to allow me to replace the panels that need to be replaced. The ram was too...
I understand but the title asking about a M151a3 might have been a tip off that he was talking about a M151 series vehicle. He said the vehicle he was talking about was with the rail vehicles when he saw the M151 FAV. It was pretty clear to me sorry if was not for you. I was attempting to clue...

Sorry. Had to do it.
The mutt FAV's came before the sand rail dune buggys. The buggys were used more for spotters and recon. The mutt FAV was more modifications by special operations groups. The thread is about the mutt FAV like papabear's photo not the sand rail style.
The FAV you speak of was just a field modification of an M151A2. It was not delivered from the factory and does not have its own M number. Some may have been purchased from Encore or such but they were not M series vehicles.
The A2s have a breakaway system. The emergency connection fills the tank with air and as long as it keeps getting air everything is cool. When the emergency connection is no longer getting air then the brakes are automatically applied. This can be fixed by draining the tanks as if there is no...
Anyone that has had to air the tires up and down when coming off blacktop into desert sand would not think this a screwy upgrade. I look forward to seeing your progress if you go forward.
