    Long road trip, HMMWV-HMMWV towing advice

    On road? Towbar and safety chains. Medium towbar preferred, but Ibis tech ok for a HMMWV. Probably not something i want to be doing for the first time under emergency conditions. Consider a rollback flatbed wrecker.

    Jack Rails

    So how strong/durable is this? If systemically overloaded, what breaks first?

    Diesel Prices.....WTF ????

    NDT, not wanting government price control. Just an absence of the current market manipulation with the goal of increasing prices.

    Top speed - highway

    Was it your fault? Could you have done something to prevent it? If the answers to either of the above are "yes" or "maybe", it changes the equation and changes how your conscience/subconscious treats you....

    Colorado Bill SB19-054 RE: (Former) Military Vehicle Motor Vehicle Regulation

    This is a good thing. The more widely the pain is felt, the greater and more urgent the pushback will be.

    Pricing for Troop Seats for bobbed M35A2/3

    Fair price would be about the same as fair price for unaltered seats. Except as mentioned above your potential market is limited to the guy who shortened his bed to the exact same length (or shorter) than yours.

    (Solved) M923A2 Right rear brakes grabbing

    Note that the service side will only leak when pedal is depressed, and the emergency side would leak even without pedal being depressed. My wrecker has a leak in the service side :(

    (Solved) M923A2 Right rear brakes grabbing

    As Elk said, it may be the emergency side diaphragm leaking, allowing the springbrakes to grab. One way to test this is to air the truck up, shut it off and listen for leaks and watch your air gauge. If you decide to replace your diaphragms, also as Elk said, may as well replace all of...

    Best Mods to Get a CUCV to go 75mph?

    Just my opinion... but if cruising at 75mph is the goal, the cucv is not the tool to get you there. With fairly extensive mods you can make it go 75, but not well. Just not the tool for the job... And once you mod it to go 75 (poorly), you've then taken away its ability to do what it actually...

    Complete 936 newbie

    Do not back up in low range. Do not operate the rear PTO at low RPM.

    For sale locally, should I buy? For sale Gichner 8/5 wire and spool.

    It'll work fine for single phase. It wouldn't be my first choice. If you're going to chop it up, please cut a couple feet distal to the plugs and sell me those portions. That way I can splice to it and use it to make another cable. Removal of just the plug is problematic and will result in the...

    For sale locally, should I buy? For sale Gichner 8/5 wire and spool.

    Wholeheartedly agree. When it comes to cable, thicker is better. Thing is, the military cable pictured is bad-ass. The insulation is thick and mean. The cover is armored. And they spec 8/5 for the 60 amp version. The 803 genset puts out something like 50amps at maximum output at 240v. The...

    For sale locally, should I buy? For sale Gichner 8/5 wire and spool.

    Looks like the 60 amp cable. If you have something (a PD box for example) compatible with the fitting on the cable, you probably want it. If you don't need the fitting, you could probably get heavier gauge commercial cable for less than the reasonable value on this one. Commercial 6/5 copper...
