    Need to move a pallet from Morgantown NC closer to Indianapolis (No hurry)

    Thanks for the offers so far. Ferro, I hope to NOT wait until May, but you never know! Plan B right now is picking them up in person during the week of Thanksgiving. Plan C is if I'm lazy I'll pay freight. The freight quotes I've gotten aren't too bad, but they still double the price of the...

    SATURDAY 11/11/17 Haspin Off-Road Day Trip

    MAA, what's your Friday night like on November 10th? I'm open to possibly driving out after work Friday night or coming earlier Saturday morning. Just didn't want to make it complicated for those that don't want to camp and can't really take another day off work at the moment. You got time to...

    SATURDAY 11/11/17 Haspin Off-Road Day Trip

    I'm bringing my M1009 and two (or three) Toyota's, we got Dave's M1009 with 3 other 4x4's, Jason's HMMWV and whoever else shows up. Should have some room if people just want to come and ride rather than drive their own rig. Maa45069 - Sucks you can't skip out on the wedding and bring your Land...

    Need to move a pallet from Morgantown NC closer to Indianapolis (No hurry)

    I bought a set of M135 wheels that need a ride from Morgantown, NC to anywhere closer to Indianapolis. 6 wheels, can be taken loose or strapped on a pallet, whichever facilitates the ride. No hurry, was wondering if anyone might be coming this way in the next month or two. I've never used...

    SATURDAY 11/11/17 Haspin Off-Road Day Trip

    Can't do anything sooner but I'm fairly open later in the year. I have the entire week of Thanksgiving off and don't have any major plans for weekend items through the end of the year. Off-roading is kind of my main hobby, so I'm pretty much willing to go any time I'm not already committed to...

    If you get one I can come help you swap it. I haven't done one before, and would rather learn on your dime! Most of my free time is in the evenings. Like working in the dark?

    2-weeks out! Get your stuff ready to roll! Wire Fox, get your HMMWV going yet?

    M275A2 DOA but now RUNS!

    First test drive! Drove my deuce for the first time today! I still don't have brakes so i was just putting around my back yard in low range but I did get all the way through 3rd gear! Seems to shift OK, clutch seems good, no crazy sounds, etc. I decided to shift gears from mechanical...

    M275A2 DOA but now RUNS!

    I didn't know that was there, but mine was already blocked off (luckily). I like the air compressor tie-in idea quite a bit.

    M275A2 DOA but now RUNS!

    Had a little time to work on my truck tonight. Safety wired the fuel shutoff and reinstalled the fuel line clamps. Fired it up again and this time got the air compressor to build pressure then cut out like it should. Found I had the trailer brake lever in the cab up instead of down, and it...

    M135 S and M Build

    First off- congrats on your kid finishing up his Eagle rank! I never made it (made it to Life rank, then found cars, jobs, and girls). My oldest son is 7 and will be starting cub scouts soon. Yes, I plan to flip the hubs and will be running singles. I was looking at the M135 wheels because...

    We'd love to have all of your HMMWV's! But, Dave, if you don't have a ride my shotgun seat is usually open. So far I have 4 vehicles confirmed, but would love to have more!

    M135 S and M Build

    Thanks for those pictures. That second picture (the overhead one) makes it look like there is a decent difference between the two.

    M135 S and M Build

    I thought they had more like a 2" difference in backspacing. A side by side picture would be very helpful.

    Injection pump head

    All of the technical manuals are at the top of this website. You can download, print, etc. There are also a lot of people on here more knowledgeable than me. Give the forum some time to work and you'll get some good advice from some of the regulars here. When you talk about timing, did you...

    M275A2 DOA but now RUNS!

    FloridaAKM - Good luck on your upcoming hydraulic head repair. Hopefully you can keep from dropping and loosing stuff like I did (I should have put a tarp down under the truck). I read the rebuilding hydraulic head sticky on this forum. That and a few youtube videos by the same guy helped me...

    M135 S and M Build

    What tires do you have on your M135? They look pretty new. I'm in the process of purchasing M135 wheels for my Deuce to single it out. Debating on going with 11.00-20 or 12.00R20 tires. Just curious what you're running.

    Injection pump head

    Most of the MV parts suppliers I checked were out of stock. I was looking for one in case I wasn't able to repair mine. I found this one on ebay. It's one of the Chinese made units, not Bosch. Don't know anything about them other than it's brand new. Which part # head do you have? You can...

    M275A2 DOA but now RUNS!

    Thanks, Mike. I had it easier than some because you and the owners before had kept the fuel system clean. No gunk in the tank, no gunk in the lines, piston in the HH wasn't stuck, etc. Now the real work begins. I don't believe my temperature gauge is working, it didn't build up air pressure...

    SATURDAY 11/11/17 Haspin Off-Road Day Trip

    I'm going down to Haspin Acres Off-Road Park in Laurel, IN on Saturday, November 11 2017 for a day of off-roading. I've got a few SS members interested in meeting up that day and a few other friends in non-MV's that want to try off-roading for the first time. Anybody is invited to come if...
