Maybe a bit heavy for the towing capacity but it works for me. I lock it in low on the hills.

Thanks for the info. I don't have a Facebook account so if somebody knows of this guy can you post it? Otherwise I'll find someone with a FB account to search for me. Thanks! I'm sure I can find the belts and do them, but then I should also do the other two, and maybe some hoses, and address...

I know, I should just do it all myself.... I have a M998 that runs well but I feel like on borrowed time. I was getting a squeal from the power steering belt (?) when turning hard during the storm. Lifted the hood today and noticed I'm down to one generator belt. A couple minor drips...

And here I've been babying this thing thinking it can't hold or tow very much!

That's a lot of straps. Maybe some JB Weld will do the trick! I was surprised that when I filled the tank (2,400 lbs) the suspension didn't really move. I thought I was close to maxing it out?

I looked at those tie downs and they seemed a little thin and I was worried they would pull out. I agree the troop seats are not the best choice so I went slow to avoid movement. I think I'll mount a tank in a M1101 that I have but I needed something quick. We use the IBC's for emergency...

Empties the IBC tote in under 3 minutes with a Harbor freight pump. We'll see how long it lasts.

Yes, please and thank you for the help! I being told it's probably a dead end but I'd still like to rule it out, if so. John

They currently inspect all our LESO stuff every two years. M16's, vehicles etc. I thought maybe there was an easy way to get this off the books. It's not a case of need.... but I wouldn't mind having it. Guess it will sit there and rot since no one knows how to do the paperwork. The last...

Our PD has a turtle back and I'm told we can't sell it due to DLA/LEOS rules because it has a turret. Our LEOS expert left and nobody knows how to deal with this. Anyone know if it is possible to make it a salable item for civilians? Does it still need to be sold through a dealer?

Welcome from NOVA. This forum provides a lot of information. Mine rarely leaves the farm. Is the Syria event a Steel Soldiers thing or ?

Very interesting. Struggling with the search features

Needed an impact driver a 3/4 wrench and a 2x4 to get the nut off. It had been run up onto the non-threaded portion of the bolt. The whole thing spun freely through the shunt. Nice arc welding going on with he bold head. Someone probably dropped a washer or two during assembly or...

BTW, on the connector part number You can use an A instead of the E or F version if you don't need environmental sealing. The A's use a hard blue plastic instead of the elastomer insert and are usually less than 1/2 the price. MS3106A32-1p for the cable part. There are commercial equivalents...

Has anyone thought about rewiring the batteries through the slave port so that it acts as a disconnect? Install a plug (with the pins jumpered) and the battery is connected. Remove the plug and the batts are disconnected. Security and safety all in one. Yes, this makes the slave port...
