I would also change the following: Allow members with an active paid membership, or members with a certain number of posts, to edit their posts. NO restriction on forums (such as TM Upload, Conversations, etc!) or post age (no 3-month age edit limit). This would benefit all members who sell in...

Please merge this post with a previous thread of mine: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?163979-TM-5-1080-200-13-amp-P-Lightweight-Camouflage-Screen-Systems-and-Support-Systems This manual has been superseded by TM 5-1080-200-13&P (above), but I though folks would like to still have...

It's an old thread, where my issue was long resolved and said mechanical gauge used. 99nouns was looking for a specific link mentioned earlier in the thread by shenkmen that is now broken.

I assume due to various forum migrations and upgrades the thread has been lost. I cannot find it under shenkmen's profile and searching the site only yields another thread where he links to it again...

I added the Bussman ShortStop self-resetting circuit breakers, relay, high amperage power supply wire (not fully secured down, yet), and the clip for an air hose attachment. Besides the relay, air hose attachment borrowed for fitment measurments, and a 90 degree air fitting on the compressors...

Wiring cleanup in progress! The Blue Sea Systems Safety Hub 150 fit very nicely to the left of the battery box. It's bolted to the top support rail and the angled cross member, so only 3 bolts but it feels very solid. I have a Battery Tender on the other side of the compartment (which has more...

I didn't want to leave the air compressors yellow, even though the paint was fine. They'll match the deuce a lot better now. I'm not 100% sure how well the paint will last, long term, on the compressor head heat sink fins, but I think it'll be fine as I doubt they get HOT like the exhaust that...

I also wanted to point out how after driving through a pouring rain storm the spring barrel clamp appears to have corroded badly. To me, this shows shoddy workmanship from BMGParts.com. It appears they just parkerized over the old rust and never actually cleaned the thing up. Disappointing...

I had taken a number of up close shots of my M66 gun ring including the pintle/pedestal mount cap and hand brake. I thought it may be of use to also share with others who might be looking for such detail, and yes, I did mount my new "100 CAL .50 LINKED" ammo cans :) ) Note: the hand brake in...

I have encountered yet another revision to the fiberglass (or plastic as the TM's refer to them) poles. They're much the same, except ~1.81" outside diameter (vs the above, older style?, fiberglass O.D of ~1.79") and the major difference of some form of hard or rubberized composite to further...

Last Friday I took the ol' deuce to a local custom covers shop, Brian's Canvas, in Clearfield, Utah, for them to take whatever measurements they needed as I explained what I had in mind as for the deuce's rear "tent flap" out of those new 3-piece cargo cover end curtains and tent screen. Since I...

I decided to take care of the ends of the woven section of the tie-down rope. I thought these rope clamps would be a lot easier than wrapping some string/tape at the end: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JDLTA7A/ When I ordered, I was doing so off of the advertisement for the ropes as...

What Evil Dr. Porkchop said, with one correction though, versions of the M101A2 & M101A3 have different axles, and thus use different wheels. From my research on Steel Soldiers, the following is the best I can determine the differences to the M116 FRAME that was used on both the Pioneer Tool...

I second the thought of how hard is it to access the screws on the light covers? But it's good you're enjoying your truck! Did you name your truck "Max"? So now it's "Mad Max"? :lol: I personally would not want to block any of the light without some other useful purpose being served (such as...

Apologies, I guess I never cleared that up. They do indeed fit and work for both the front rack and rear gates. Maybe slightly long as the "useable" area of the pin only needed to be ~2-1/8", but a little longer only make it easier to put in/remove the cotter pin if needed. I've ordered matching...

I share the sentiments that your English is way better than my Russian! I have two cousins that served religious Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints missions in Moscow, Russia and they speak fluent Russian because of it. Too bad they're not Military Vehicle (MV) enthusiasts! In that...

Unfortunately, no, I do not already have a surge set up.

To complete the tarp awning, I purchased these 1/2" marine grade, nylon ropes with tensioners and a pre-woven loop. The loop will go over the tip of the telescoping poles and then down to stakes. http://military-tent.com/magrroli.html Though, it does look like the end of the pre-woven loop...

Thank you Tinstar, but I don't have enough knowledge to know what you mean here. Are you meaning replace the internals of the drum from something Dexter sells and use the surge lunette from an M101A2?

I've had it suggested to me that it may possible to add an M101A2's surge brake lunette end and then add wheel cylinders to the M101A1's axle. I couldn't find specific information on this, but I don't think that'd work?? Here is the back of the M101A1's axle end: I didn't take a picture of...
