Re: antenna mount
I mounted mine today , just below the strap mount on the left side in front of the wheel opening . You do need the 2 steel plates inside the the bed to stiffen up the mount. I made mine out of 1/4" x 1" steel . Looks like it was always there . Bob K

Re: Winch fluid level
Gerry ,each side takes 1QT of Mobilgear 600XP460 gear oil .It is very important to use the RIGHT lube in your winch . Some people will tell you it's"OK" to use 90 weight gear lube but trust me it will only lead to problems down the road . You can by the lube on line , About $60.00 a gallon...

Don't forget the "REDI SLEEVES" for the yokes , or you will just ruin your new seals and they will not seal properly . The Timken # for the sleeve is 99212 . Bob K

The problem is they do not always identify where the parts are coming from . They are selling us are vehicles back to us piece by pi...

Re: Titling a Military Vehicle
:D What you describe your vehicle as for DMV purposes is what it is ; IE , a 1953 DODGE ,serial # 00000000 . I agree , DO NOT use the military ID , the person behind the DMV counter probably has NO IDEAR what a M43 is or cares . You know what they say KISS . By the way ,have you actually checked the...
