let me know when and where, and i'll try to get over. will you be doing anything prior to july 4th?

peter, saw all of you in the parade last night. the jeep and trailer rig looked good.

peter, this is ron chiming in, the recent transplant to Centralia. thanks for tipping me off that you had a thread going on here.

db, putting a slight bevel on the edge of the laminated safety glass is something you can do yourself. maybe the guy didn't invest in a belt machine. not every shop has them any more, since there is not a lot of that type of work being done by most places. get some 120 grit wet or dry sandpaper...

since i'm not familiar with anything but M151's, pardon me if this is a dumb question. does your jeep use the same distributor, coil and wires, as well as spark plugs, that are used in my M151? i ask only because i bought a complete new set of NOS wires for my distributor last fall for $40 at...

on nov 23rd there will be several events commemorating the 25th anniversary of the memorial. POW-MIA ceremony, motorcycle run, anniversary ceremony and a banquet at the sheraton grand hotel. questions to holybee@comcast.net

thanks again to all who contributed. i will keep track of the info provided, as i make my decision in this regard. it would have been helpful to obtain more cost info, but sometimes that's not forthcoming.

my thanks to all who responded. NDT, do you know by chance, when these have been re-engined with the other types you mentioned, was it possible to use the original transmission and transfer? i am a purist with MV's, BUT who wants to spend that kind of money for an engine known for catastrophic...

i'm giving some serious thought to an M725, but it would need a complete original engine and trans assembly. since i have never owned one of these, i'm unfamiliar with the suppliers and what is or isn't available. if any one could give me some idea of the costs i should expect for this parts...

i routinely drive mine on I-5 in northern california, but i have real nice civilian tires, and i know the mechanical condition. while i can peg my speedo and keep it there, i don't do that, staying at 50 , because these engines aren't designed for that. for a 300 mile trip i would trailer it...

does anyone here know, or can anyone make reference to the applicable regs in california? i would prefer to carry the plates, rather than display them, as my M151 is completely stock and period correct in it's equipment.

check with jarhead out of nevada, or tony banks. they might have a lead for you. maybe also rainman on the 838.

yes, i would combine them, but i could not even GAG down the ham and lima beans. i also ate my share of the hershey tropical bars, reviled by many but tolerated by some. the white bread in a can always was crumbly, yet hard on the inside. how did they do that? last week at tower park i bought a...

one small clarification for my previous post---when i wrote "smokes and frags", i was referring to smoke grenades, not cigarettes. since i never smoked, i often traded my c rat smokes for fruit cocktail or peaches out of c rat meals to guys that were desperate for more smokes. and toptiger gets...

in my MP unit, we had RT524's, M60's on pedestals, flak jackets on the seat backs, a case of C's, extra canteens, steel pots with "MP" on the covers, road goggles on the steel pots, lots of ammo for the 60 and the M16's, but also some for the 45 pistols we wore. if it wasn't issued, we made a...
