Thanks!! I like those pickup and return tubes! :shock:[thumbzup][thumbzup] Are you still making them?

A bit over two and a half years ago I converted the battery box on my M818 to an M915 upgrade battery box. If you missed the thread here it is... https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?148460-M915-Battery-Box-on-M809-series I consider it one the best upgrades I have completed. The upgrade...

I just finished up an install of -10AN supply and -8AN return fuel lines on my M818. It replaces push-lock hose and fittings I installed in 2010. There was nothing wrong with that system I just thought this looked cooler. The braided nylon/steel hose and all the black anodized fitting are Made...

I have never been one for a full cargo cover for a few reasons;1) not easily removable and installed, 2) having to modify one to fit my sectioned out 10' bed and 3) I really want just enough cover to provide shade with the sides fully open. I was using folded 10' X 20' camo netting to 10' X 10'...

Or, something like this using a length of rope/wire rope with a suspended weight. This would be field expedient with a loop for the hook at one end and snap rings pre-attached to the rope.

I would say raise and extend your boom to it's max. Payout the hook enough to attach a 4X6, 5X8 or even a 6X10 Flag to the wire rope. I believe that would be a tasteful display with a high regard to Flag etiquette and protocol. Those large flags are near impossible to fold and store as are...

My third GI flasher unit in nine years has decided to go south me and I am now done with those problem children. Driving SoCal freeways with no flashers is scary proposition. So, here's my stab at this upgrade on my M818. I did fudge up the on the "L" contact lead on the wiring harness. I was...

Been off the radar for a bit, so, here we go resplendent in car show dress.

We provided our truck to the Huntington Beach, CA, American Legion Post 133 to ride some of its member Veterans in the 114th Annual Huntington Beach 4th of July Parade.

Indeed, it has! I do have this recurring nightmare that I will get a letter from the DMV surreptitiously rescinding my registration. We beat CARB...for now...

I've had my M818 registered Historic for nearly 9 years now. I did VIN verify (REG 31) through AAA myself, then Historic plates were obtained through a titling/registration service. No issues.

Replace it with a sectioned out drop-side.

Ride (or Drive) To Your Flag at the Los Angeles National Cemetery on 09JUN18 at 1000 hrs. Sorry, for the short notice. This is an inaugural event in conjunction with Flag Day being hosted by the Los Angeles National Cemetery Support Foundation. If you are in the L.A. area please consider...

Because I have a completely level surface at my disposal to do the job.

1 - Anti-seize 2 - M939-series TM calls for a "pre-load", but M809-series does not. Same identical suspension designed to handle the same load and handling. You be the judge. I did not preload the M818.

Two Interstate group 31's in a custom installed M915 battery box. One of the best mods I have ever done.

I got that particular netting from eBay. It's Camo Unlimited MS02B. It's green/brown woodland and is roughly 10' x 20'. Also try Camo Netting Store http://www.camonettingstore.com/. Lots of good stuff there. It does take a beating in the sun though. This one is less the two years installed and...

Actually not just this week, but done over the last few months. I have just been slow to post. These are not anything huge as far as projects go, but mostly just incidentals, conveniences and upgrades. I installed two double jerry can holders in both front corners of the bed. The holders are...

Those cut air lines lead from the non-service side of the of diaphragm in the brake chamber. They are there to equalize pressure, if any, on that side and it does not really effect the service pressure. All those vent lines lead to your air intake stack. When I installed M939-series front wedge...

I have a slightly used but completely serviceable used KN20021 "System Park". PM me if your interested.
