    Tire age and cracks - Still safe or replace?

    Ditto, and if you are ever stopped by DOT state police motor carrier agents, it probably will not be cheap.

    HMMWV M998 presentation across the Atlantic.

    By the time you are finished , it will be better than a brand new. Outstanding! :tank:

    Looking for specifications axis M101 A3 3/4

    Interesting as we have no rules in the US prohibiting surge brakes. What about the towbar is not approved? Can you tell us more about that unit? Is it also a hydraulic actuator? Looks like it can take up slack inbetween a towing vehicle and a trailer like a rail road carriage? Curious as it...

    Contact Cement might do the trick for you. Sold at most hardware stores.

    Gichner Shelter GSS-1497B operation quesiton on HMMWV

    You probably have seen this? http://www.wenzlau.com/GSS-1497.htm Maybe they would help? Is there other data plates as it looks highly customized? Saw those on GL and wish I had the coin to buy a brand new unit.......

    Need suggestions on battery powered impact wrench for Airlift and front winch install

    If you like the weight, 12 is the way to go. I feel tools actually spin faster and work harder than the smaller batteries Ymmv

    Need suggestions on battery powered impact wrench for Airlift and front winch install

    I am sure you probably read my thread. Notes from my experience as fyi. Invest in a good line wrench and crow foot for the hoses. One was a bear to get off. I think it was 18mm. Check my thread. 4 bolts that will be for the extension need to be longer than stock for airlift. Do you have the...

    Turbocharging a HMMWV with BMI's kit

    Actually the locomotive you pictured was a special edition and I believe only one carries this paint and markings so it is a rare bird. Nice work on both :cool: You are now an official rail fan...

    Military Trailer Title in North Carolina

    No way is it in Maine's system nor would they care. I assume you do not have a 17 digit standard vin, just a data plate so even doubtful NC could track it as they do not know military suppliers. Ma just wants their fee and a few $ for tax. What model trailer is it? M116? Why pay fees and taxes...

    Military Trailer Title in North Carolina

    La is crazy stupid with Title and registration fees along with hefty late fees and require a title. Probably like the former owner, I did not feel the need for a $75 piece of paper from GL or GP to go get a plate. All my trailers are registered in Maine. They typically do not require a title for...

    Rear Seat Belt Question

    The kit also comes with an under the fender reinforcement if your truck does not have it. Those towers are pretty tough. I just feel OE solutions for seat belts have been engineered and tested for that application. imho.

    Rear Seat Belt Question

    I would recommend when it comes to safety use true and tried parts. The rear bracket kit is the OE solution for the non armored versions. Which truck do you have? The correct soft top rear curtain for a 4man will have the pockets for the seat belt, btw. FWIW

    Looking for specifications axis M101 A3 3/4

    I do think the cable I linked to on ebay is the correct one for m101a2 NSN 6105-01-168-7906 vs the tm 2530-01-168-7906 When I search in parts target the 6105-01-168-7906 it brings up the 2530-01-168-7906. I dont know what the first 4 digits stand for but maybe it is a supersede or different...
