I don't do anything with the CNC mostly because I don't have one... I do have a neat sign machine that handles 5ft x 10ft sheets of material - but it is similar but different :)
ANYHOW, I snapped a few pictures. If you need better specs, I do know how to read a micrometer or a ruler...

Welcome to the Outfit! Nice looking truck too!
That 320 Shakedown Cruise is enough to know that she is ready to go play for sure.
If you want to upgrade the transmission cooler, there is a thread for that by @simp5782...

It is amazing how clean the inside looks. Yeah, I know there is fresh paint but the desert tan improves contrast really well. Seems like a color difference like that inside would beat the green hands down...

Sorry Sir...
There is a Hagerstown event as well.

Also have a thread with a little better detail about Hagerstown...

Quite often, the PDFs get downloaded on a phone into a strangely named folder. Sometimes you can spend more time hunting the folder than downloading the TM's too.
The Lube Manual has fluid capacities.

The rest of them are linked below and that Student Handout is that last file...

That should be enough fluid. Wouldn't hurt to start out on the far end (back axle) then work your way to the front. Then let it sit for a few hours under pressure and come back around again. You should be getting nothing but clean clear fluid with little or no bubbles on the second bleed.

She looks really good to me! Nice looking paint too.
Grab more pix when you can so the rest of us can drool over your new-to-you truck!
Good to hear about a good experience.

Everybody has an opinion... Having never seen a brand new HMMWV brake caliper, I would expect it to be perfectly smooth on the entire surface. I wouldn't expect to see a lip like that. The other logical part is that I would imagine you (the previous owner) would have replaced pads several...

Thanks for the work you are doing @TMOMW
I would expect more from the MVPA than what is detailed in Item #3. Wonder if the owner of that FB page has his or her personal axe to grind? Maybe with no supervision from the leadership of the National organization possibly?

If you decide to buy a Duck Bill Hammer...
Get yourself a bottle and drill a hole in the cap. Maybe a 64oz plastic drink bottle and mix yourself some soapy water.
Maybe consider Johnson's No More Tears" for the soap because the first time you hit and miss and the soap flies up in your eyes...

I am going to make it to one of these dang Rally's before I die... Seems that every time I get one lined up, something goes haywire and I end up missing it. Last time my eye was swollen shut because of a bee sting. This time, Son #2 had his 1 year old's birthday party on Saturday - and the...
