    Have a new car trailer that my HMMWV will pull from time to time

    The 6.5 with the 3 speed but it honestly will be once in a blue moon to haul the trailer. It's mostly a garage to protect the car and motorcycle. It's a 24'L 8'W 7'T trailer with a 5' V nose so I can drive the bike up into the front. Mark

    Have a new car trailer that my HMMWV will pull from time to time

    Thought I would post some pics of my new toy hauler. Had it custom setup to carry an old car of mine and my motorcycle as well as a small workshop. With the car in the trailer she will weigh in at 8K and I have an electric brake setup and my HMMWV has the airlift bumper so all is well. The...

    24v to 12v

    You could go with a 24 to 12 converter or if it is just lights you are looking for you could go with LEDs that will run from 10 to 30 volts. I am installing some backup lights on my HMMWV and I have a pic of the lights below. Mark Model:18W Voltage:DC 10V-30VWaterproof:IP67 Color...

    Gear oil coming out vent lines

    You sure it is not gear oil mixed with ATF? I had this happen and it turned out to be the dreaded Vampire leak. The cooler in the transfer case develops a leak so the tranny pumps ATF into the transfer case and then out the breather lines to the pumpkins and Portal hubs and onto the air cleaner...

    I will be there on Saturday for the day and am bringing my M998. My buddy is taking his Pinz 712M out of the tabernacle for the show. This rig does not come out often. If you want to see one of the nicest 712Ms in the country please check her out. See you there. Mark

    Will a Military Mule M274 fit in the bed of a HMMWV between the fenders?

    The tailgate would be down but the big question is will it fit between the bed fenders. Mark

    Will a Military Mule M274 fit in the bed of a HMMWV between the fenders?

    I know it is close but I wonder if it would fit. Came across a nice mule and it got me thinking. Thanks for the help. Mark

    Best tie down point locations for cargo control for a m101(a2) trailer

    I used the military small D Rings in my M101A2 in the four corners and it worked great. Single bolt setup and use a good washer on the underside of the bed. Very strong and just one hole per ring. Mark http://armysurpluswarehouse.com/military-issue-vehicle-cargo-tie-down/ TIE DOWN -...

    m998 hard starting with cold engine

    There is a temp switch in the pass head at the back of the block (coolant) and its function is to retard the timing at the injector pump until the temp is up a bit. Mine was bad and had the same problem and when replaced the problem was gone. Just a thought. Mark

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    It has just a small amount of sheen as the flat paints tend to show dirt and oily hands a lot more. I think you would be very pleased with the mix. Regards, Mark

    Re-dye Seat Covers

    My M998 has the high back seats but the colors all differed from one another so I tried Rustoleum Fabric paint spray in black because they did not have a good green. Was very happy with the results and it the paint is wearing well. FYI: it takes just over one can per seat to give a good solid...

    Starting to look at Radios

    The Clansman PRC 320 is a great rig and used all over Europe. It's an AM unit some with SSB. They run from 2Mhz to 30Mhz so it works really well with the Ham bands. You can also use the "MANPACK" backpack setup for this rig. My buddy has one we are going to setup in his Pinzgauer and I am going...
