My ole chariot took a crap yesterday and waiting for the shop to give me a quote on repairing the ole 96 Stratus with 219000 miles on it (yes the one that was stolen last year and recovered). Hitched a ride home from work last night - went down and did the pretrip on the ole 43 - took it to...

Almost all folks here are notorious for checking their MV's before hitting the streets. But then again - This is for those that wish to elimimate some steps - or do not do a full pre and post trip and a regimented inspection on your vehicles. There is more to the story with video's if you...

I did shoot the 43 in some ridiculos high heat conditions last year and the results of that have revealed themself. Pretty chalky appearance and I have buffed it out once with just Mcquires High Tech wax and it looks pretty good for a day or so. The chalky look comes from reducer once fully...

The least I can do is assist in the elimination of possibilities to help WM find Elmo.

Taking Zout 2's M38A1 to a car show tomorrow in full display as best as I can along with the 43 that has gone though a full manual wax treatment this week. The paint in the Ga sun had really gotten to it really bad - last person to see it in poor shape was PB - so what she looks like now after...

Things happen when you least expect them and you think you are fully covered for anything that could rear its ugly head at you - but something always comes out to bite you and make you realize your not as smart as you think. Tuesday night a fella comes over and needs a piece cut out of 1/2...

Got back onto Dinger65's jeep today. Have his full exhaust system in - coolant sensor - cleaned and assembled what parts he had for the 24v distributor. Took inventory of what he needs to be able to at least get this baby fired up besides all the remainder of body parts/gauges etc he needs to...

The 43 has the 24 volt system and it was running perfect. Ignition started breaking up which made it appear as timing. After upon further inspection and checking the no spark issue I started on the distributor. Hot leading in existed. Hot to the positive side of the coil was non-existant. It...

Finally rounded up enough fund to send the dual action fuel pump out for rebuilding. Classicpreservation is where I sent Debs pump to - as he rebuilt the vacuum side as well as the fuel side - it looks awesome and runs great. So I am sending the pump to him for a total rebuild. I forsee in a...

Ok - I reviewed the place I should ask this question and see how these are add on items as needed - and they go to the body. Where is a good source for the latching buckle cloth style tie down straps - for latching ammo cans to Jeeps - etc. These would be specifically the ones for the footmans...

Is there any vendor that sells a FULL rebuild kit for the dual action fuel pump on the M38A1 ?. Calls made today only have kits for fuel side and not vacuum side and I am not willing to toss $159 for a rebuilt one out the window quite yet when the labor costs to rebuild can be mine and not...

Those that went throught the late 50's and into the 60's remember the beating of the war machines that were being produced - this is not leaving out all the earlier times - but was looking around and found this interesting tidbit and thought someone else just might want to see some pics - if not...

As an M43 ambulance was non combative nor could it display any insignia of country origin (Amerian Flag nor Star) Why and what use was the pintle hitch on the ambulance installed for ? It could not be used for towing compative equipment - unless they just did it anyhow - so was there a...

Got back after a weekend of camping in the 109 at Stone Mountain campground. Brought the 4 grandsons along and it was the littlest ones turn to take the ride shotgun over and back. Just a couple pics because I leave the rest of them for me in my memory. Look on his face will tell you how...

U.S. Military - second to none:

Nothing would beat PB's call for a day and see a surprise - but this afternoon we had to transfer to a Huntsville AL (WM territory) 2 of what appeared to be BELL helicopter nose/canopy with crates. Facility they came from was a plastics division and headed to a place that started with a "Y" -...
