    Trailering an MEP 803a

    Well, at least we don't have that problem in Utah (yet?). You have a grace period after buying a vehicle or trailer (usually to go straight home). I can't register said trailer without it being titled (maybe you can, I might be wrong). I'm not registering mine though, I just want that...

    Trailering an MEP 803a

    Thanks Frank, but I've removed that thread you linked as you helped me answer my question so well I didn't feel it was warranted leaving up. But for you @jwhite9787, you don't have much to worry about. Your 1/2 ton truck is more capable than my little Dodge Dakota and even then the typical...

    Valence's M116A3 Mounted MEP-803A (10kw generator)

    Thanks! I had heard it was a standard lugnut pattern, but I've never looked up to see with what. I plan to move it some times with my M35A2, so the ride height would probably be a good thing. Also, I know most people hate the run flats, but I like the concept of them and it saved me here.

    Valence's M116A3 Mounted MEP-803A (10kw generator)

    Thanks glcaines! I'm very pleased with it for sure! Definitely more than I needed on my house, but man, I couldn't say no and it's so much quieter than my 3kw MEP-701A's! More pics since I'm limited to 10 pictures per post. Close ups of the tire I want to replace. Judging by the date code...

    Valence's M116A3 Mounted MEP-803A (10kw generator)

    Yesterday (Feb 04th, 2022) I purchased an MEP-803A 10kw mounted on an M116A3 trailer with the "Power Unit PU-798" body. I believe both were manufactured in 2003 and were rebuilt/reset in September 2010 and delivered in October 2010. The generator had 77.4 hours of runtime. It even still had the...

    LMTV Cargo Cover install questions

    If you've sent me a message here on SteelSoldiers, sorry but it's not showing me any messages from you. I don't have those plastic slides or plastic D-rings on hand, but they'd probably be easy to get. I also don't have that *exact* black webbing - the black mil-spec webbing I have is a...

    LifeSaver (water purifier) Jerry Can Fitment in MV Mounts

    They're pretty sweet and wouldn't be all that hard to make your own out of steel or if you're proficient at welding aluminum. And honestly, you could put nearly whatever you want in these as they're made to support the 80-100lbs of water or fuel and have numerous footman loops to put all the...

    LifeSaver (water purifier) Jerry Can Fitment in MV Mounts

    Or a rounded top hex key bolt could do it too. (like I did when my new tires rubbed my deuce's trunnion cap bolts). That's a good idea, thanks!

    LifeSaver (water purifier) Jerry Can Fitment in MV Mounts

    I just purchased a LifeSaver jerry can (designed and manufactured in the UK). It is an all-in-one hand pump water purifier in a jerry can platform and holds 18.5 liters (~4.9 gallons), which due to the internal hand pump and filter (and structure reinforcing holes) is just slightly less than the...

    Pioneer rack mounting spot

    According to TM9-2320-272-24P-2, each one of the straps has a different NSN (and Part Number): What I call the "Buckle" strap (#2 in the figure) is NSN 5340-00-930-2716 (Part Number 10937881) What I call the "Tail" strap (#7 in the figure) is the NSN you quoted of 5340-00-930-2717 (Part Number...

    Pioneer rack mounting spot

    Yes, should be a pair of straps on both sides attached to that 'z' bent threaded rod. I have not found any place that sells or reproduces those metal ends that attach to the round rod for the bow storage. BUT, it just so happens I have had drawings made for some slightly simplier versions and...

    Account Upgrade -> Concurrent instead of extending existing

    Thanks! Is it possible to buy another year to extend to 2024? The only "upgrade" left is to buy a $100 Vendor upgrade

    Account Upgrade -> Concurrent instead of extending existing

    I saw a post by @patracy about a membership drive for $10 for a year. I have a current/active membership but I thought it was a great opportunity to get a deal and extend my membership. However, it appears the purchase will run concurrent to my existing membership instead of extending it. I...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    @DutchmanZ Sorry I'm 10 months late in seeing your post. Your truck looks great, and it is satisfying to get the the can mounted on there! Please forgive me, as I certainly do not intend to step on any toes; I just want everyone to have the best experience, or most convenient use of their...

    I was gifted a 5 gallon fuel can

    Looks great @kendelrio! That's awesome getting your son involved too. Also, thank you for the kind words about my workmanship. Please forgive me, as I certainly do not intend to step on any toes; I just want everyone to have the best experience, or most convenient use of their strap. The way...
