    Winter Storage Proceedures

    All good ideas posted. You are the one that knows your rig. Just park it and could be a big headache next May. IMO... A PMCS with winterizing in mind would not be a bad idea for 7-8 months of storage. Give it a nice bath: inside and out. Get the fishy smell out LOL 🦈🐟🐠 Grease all things...

    Tire Bounce...

    NOT split rims. Two piece military bolt together, double bead lock. This will totally confuse them. Call them "split rim" and most tire shop are going to turn and run. CAMO

    Tire Bounce...

    IMDS In My Driveway Shop......... DIY is a money maker for tire wear and MPG. Have Band-aids handy. Something to consider first is to work out the caster and camber based on ones loading needs first. This is in the TM too and will require a bit of work. Simple nuts and bolts to pull the...

    Looking for replacement bearing and seal for Water Pump 12557071.

    Focused like a laser beam. Should have been on the design team for the HumV. A little squirt of grease as got to be better than remove and replace. I like the way you think !! (y)(y)(y) Yankee ingenuity just got kicked in the pants, CAMO

    H2 rim on m998

    While not much... would one have the necessary edge distance to support the stud bolts from cracking out to edge?. How about the back side fit up with surface area. Rims strong enough for rating of a HumV? Not something one could "chuck up" in the ol lathe. Not looking to poo on a cool...

    200amp Dual Voltage 28/14v Alternator with 12v Accessories Question

    Add to my post # 8 Fussing and fusing for 12 Volts in the HumV. After 8 hours of sleep, I have a couple more brain toots. Will try and clear any con-fusing concepts. Many ways to make the 12 Volt connection. Pros and cons... you decide for your needs. (you will anyway) I and others...

    CB and 2- meter antenna builds.

    For the military cool look, scrounge around and Epay the price. For the most part, the ones out there are not an effective antenna for the frequencies your looking for. There are a couple wide band military models hard to find or crazy priced. For performance at a 10th of the cost go...

    200amp Dual Voltage 28/14v Alternator with 12v Accessories Question

    The fuse and lead with the equipment maybe OK, if fuse is at the battery. Extended battery leads going to equipment, passing thru battery box, bulk heads, fire wall... then to equiment, will need a fuse. Rule of thumb... Fuse is to protect the wire and is placed as close a possible to the...

    Office chairs for new seats

    Here's how it's going down. Officer, I didn't see the Army truck thing. Camouflaged paint job looked like a tree and I spilled my HOT coffee, burning my leg. Lawyers wouldn't have to dig very deep to be convincing to twelve. Wouldn't be the first time. And Rufas T. Slimebucket just got me...
