You are making a valid point about the rust. The water weeps through during a heavy rain, but I recognize that it has to eat away at the metal over time. I should probably address it.

Thanks for the update. It sounds like you are doing a nice job of taking care of a common problem. One of my trucks has a slight drip during a heavy rain. It has not gotten to the point where I want to tackle the job.

They do make vinyl paint. You could try that. Ask the people on this site...I know others have tried to paint vinyl and they could tell you how well it worked, and the good paint products.

No, that is not correct. The M1083 cargo cover kit will fit an M1095 trailer. The M1078 cargo cover kit fits the M1082. Unfortunately, those kits are fairly rare (especially if you want camo) and expensive. I have one that I bought from another SteelSoldiers member. I am happy to have...

Welcome, David. Good luck with the HMMWV!

Thanks, Wes.

Is anyone local to Camp Lejeune who could pick up and crate an armor plate and an m240 cradle? I am asking for a friend who is not on the list. Please let me know. Thanks!

Asking guys about which oil they prefer is like asking someone if they prefer Chevy to Ford and Dodge. People tend to stick with the brands they trust. I don't think you can go wrong with a quality name brand 15W40 oil for diesel engines. I've used many brands in the past...Rotella, Delvac...

Welcome back!

Same. He has always been extremely helpful.

Thanks, Wes.

I have searched, but I did not find anything. If it exists, please forgive me! :) Can the VIN be found on the chassis of an MTVR?

I provide them with a copy of the relevant section from the EUC and have them sign it. I keep a copy and give them one.

Welcome. That looks to be a very solid truck.

Kenny, I believe that you have an air pack issue. I once had a bad air pack in an M813A1 and you had to literally stand on the pedal to get the truck to stop. This sounds like what is happening to you. Fortunately, aside from the expense for the air pack, it is a fairly easy swap.

Your truck looks great. I am very tempted to contact CUCVRUS to see if he can put one as nice together for me! Thanks for the update! I'd love to see some pics of your dogs!

I agree with John.

I do this regularly. I first compare the price of American-made vs. the cheapest (i.e., Chinese). I usually end up buying American unless it is for a one-time use and the price difference is large. We need to support our own companies and stop funding a hostile nation.

Looks great, HUNvee! Thanks for sharing the pictures.

It varies by the time of year (I never take my trucks out when there is salt on the road), but I'd say that I drive a truck (not necessarily the 5 ton) almost every weekend. The 5 ton is in the rotation. The 5 ton probably gets driven twice a month, sometimes more, but rarely less.
