I hit another (albeit minor) setback with the Jeep. It turns out that in the last few months while my jeep was at the mechanic (for the engine rebuild) it has not been touched by the mechanic...not one bit. So today I drove the 2hr back to his shop, picked up the jeep, and brought it down to...

Awesome!!

the airport ARFF guys did some fire training today in their pit. their training area has a metal full size plane shell with nozzles to squirt aviation fuel inside/around the "plane". I was able to snap a few so-so cell phone shots of two of the rigs getting in some practice. enjoy!

I come bearing good news. After 4-5-ish months of physical therapy & working with my orthopedist I was cleared for police-work last month. I put in an application with several local agencies (Lubbock Sheriff's Office, Lubbock Police Dpt, Texas Tech Univ. Police, and Lubbock Airport Police)...

welcome to the madness. I grew up in central florida (union park area outside of Orlando)

Here is an overhead console design I'm going to copy for my M35A2. It might also give you some ideas for your 5-ton

This is a totally zombie thread. Below is the link for the TM on the extended service program. Is this what you are looking for? (assuming you are still an active member)...

X2. I can't find anything on eBay with any combo of military, lmtv, inclinometer, etc

I somewhat went the same route as MCTNKR. I bought an aircraft intercom system, a Softcomm ATC-4 (they make two man units but my two-man unit needs a solder joint repaired so I went ahead and installed my 4 man brain box) and mounted it using an exiting hole on the bottom of my dash coupled with...

good info. After seeing the other post, I still want an inclinometer for my rig.

what a cool new mod!

I love how the A3 intake looks on the A2s. I wish I could afford the A3 parts to do the swap on my A2.

I had to run up the airport to fill out some paperwork & spotted these 6X6 rigs doing some training. Once I start on the 11th I'll be able to get some close up glamour shots for all of us here on SS.

So if the lights were placed in the bottom mounting location, the blackout light is placed in the upper mounting location, right? How does that effect the already minimal light spread while driving w/the BO? I would think the slightly larger light spread would make it easier to see while driving...

Yesterday I drove the deuce from Lubbock to the Canadian River Recreation Area north of Amarillo for a Jeep event called "Jeepers Creepers". It was an off-road poker run benefiting the Ronald Mcdonald House of Amarillo. On the way north, I had one minor mishap with my cargo top. Apparently some...

You can count on it. I start on 11/11. If I find anything, I'll definitely post up some pictures for us. I'll check out the thread when I get to a computer (my phone is pretty terrible). I have heard about the silent wings museum but haven't had the chance to check it out. I'll definitely add...

Unfortunately, this thread is probably going to fall into Steelsoldiers history. I left my Sheriff's Office of 7 years, moved to a "big city", and am going to be starting with Lubbock Airport Police in about a month. I doubt I'll be seeing many ex military trucks fighting fires @ the airport...

Agreed X10000. I'm going to stick with the TM and set it w/the engine cold. I have this little cheat sheet printed off for when I finally get to the adjustment. Todays jobs went smoothly, I replaced the pass axle boot with the slightly damaged old drivers boot (the current pass boot was...

Y'alls reply posts are making me wonder what to do now (since I still need to do the adjustment... I want to get it right). Everything I read on the forum says to do the adjustment with the engine cold (including a post from DH whose opinion I trust). I'm searching through my TMs to see what...

It's there but difficult to see in the video. These engines don't splash oil around the valve areas like small block Chevrolets & modern engines. There are several other valve cover-less m35a2 videos on youtube, they all look like mine.
