Alright, it’s on — @M813rc and @NDT — I’ll just bug the two of you harder next year. Squeaky wheel gets the grease, right?

I’m just now leaving. Should be there shortly after 6 pm. I can be reached at 936-672-6943 if needed.

I'm jealous of you retirees! It's been a busy week at work and I've had no time to get ready. There's lots to do tomorrow!

We coordinate with the museum and our entire group parks together in front of the museum. Not all of us bring Vietnam era vehicles.

@CARNAC - that theft and the police response still makes me sick! Thanks for posting the goodies that you have left. I'll take a good look at everything you bring this weekend. Question for you Sir, are you camping with us again? I had intended to list a couple things for sale, but did not...

I’ll shoot you a text message tomorrow. Hope y’all can make it!

I’ll have to confirm actual timing as it may depend on the availability of a police escort. A rough estimate is that we’ll leave the campsite between 7-8am. We typically leave the museum around 2pm.

Please count me in. Thank you Hawker!

@MarkM - I just saw in another thread how you mounted the pintle hitch on the bumper extension and put the 2” receiver hitch in the original pintle hitch location. Unfortunately, that’s not an option for me.

I just remembered where I got the picture in my first post. It was from AR Hog Hummer’s truck. @AR Hog Hummer - Did you have any issues mounting the 2” receiver hitch on your HMMWV?

I appreciate all of the questions and suggestions. Keep them coming.

See my last post for pictures and a list of parts. There is a thin flat plate on the inside of the bumper, but no other spacers.

Pictures are a little tricky because most of the assembly is bolted on the truck at the moment. Going from the rear forwards, the pieces are: 1) Pintle 2) Beveled plate for pintle to sit in 3) Plate with bent ears for safety chains 4) 1/2” plate from aftermarket receiver hitch 5) Bumper 6)...

Great questions. I need pretty close to 1/2” of clearance. There is only one washer on the shaft. Did you install your set-up? If so, how did you make it work? The shaft already has two holes for the cotter pin. They are drilled at a 90 degree angle to each other. I am using grade 8 bolts
