removing equipment

[mtinsman]

Hey guys,
I want to remove the military equipment from my truck. I bought the truck to off road with in the summer and snow plow with it in the winter months. will it hurt the truck if i remove the equipment from the truck?

Thanks,
Matt Tinsman

What military equipment? Radios, gun mounts, nato port, blackout lights?

You can off road and plow with a stock MV without removing these things.

Well there is a rack and a box with cannon plugs on it in the bed of the truck. The box has a big wire loom going to it. I would like to take that stuff out because i want to put a dog box in the bed of the truck.

doghead won't help you install dogboxes in your CUCV. He does not approve

Sounds like you have a M1008 and this "stuff" is the Radio Rack. No problem removing it. Just don't throw it away as there are members here that will hunt you down...............

If you don't want it, offer it to your fellow SteelSoldiers. There will be takers.

Ok i will do that because yes that is exactly what i was going to do is trash that stuff. I have no use for it.

So, anyone in the WV area that wants some Radio Equipment? I would take it but I'm to far away.

And by the way. Welcome to SteelSoldiers. Glad you joined us.

When disconnecting the radio wiring, I suggest you disconnect the batteries first to avoid shorting something out. You do not want to take any un-necessary risks with these electrical systems.

After it's all removed, take photos and list the equipment in the classifieds.

Not a dog owner myself, but I'd like to see the "dog box" modification.
