    Rt 66 Convoy 2017 MVPA

    GL doesn't sell military trucks anymore and he's talking about a generator, not a truck.

    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    Only reason I'm putting on new tires is because GP ruined one. Had to install tire boot and liner so the ripped tire could hold pressure. Its ok to move around ranch a bit but definitely not for long term or any distance. Originals (Goodyear) are cracked and weathered, but holding air just...

    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    I was thinking about the glossy OD green. Have the Federal Paint Codes but don't know which one it is. 383 green is always a good choice and will most likely do that if I can't figure out which code for the other. Luckly I don't have to worry about it being seen, unless someone flys over...

    Upgrade or Downgrade

    From someone who also shovels gravel off the back of my M925A2, I say go for it!! I would LOVE a dump truck!! Dumps are harder to find and more expensive when you do. My thoughts anyway..........

    CUCV 1986 M1008 - In a Real Pickle - Bad Heads - Need Advice

    ACDelco 60G's are what you want. They are self regulating. Most guys use the 60Gs with zero issues. Me included and over two years without a single issue. A few still use the 13Gs. Your call

    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    Pictures don't convey just how bright they are and how far the light is thrown downrange. I was very impressed, especially with the new bulbs. Perfect timing too, days are getting shorter.

    Buying New Injectors. Delphi or Bosch?

    Be sure you get the 30mm socket designed for the Bosch type injectors. I bought a new Snap-On socket (1/2" Drive) and it worked perfectly. Cost me $25 on eBay. https://store.snapon.com/Metric-Injector-Sockets-Socket-Metric-Injector-for-Bosch-type-injectors--P635581.aspx Injector fit like a...

    blown fuse

    Crawl under and look at the fuse box. Youll see the open spots. Someone might post a diagram to help. It's also in the TM. I tapped the side of the water pump. Not the best location for accuracy I know, but it works. I have a brand new HMMWV crossover that I will install someday. Will...
