    Insurance woes

    State Farm - $49/six months for my M35. USAA would only give me temporary and would not even issue anything at all.

    GL heads up.....

    Same sort of thing with my SF97. Faxed them the info, got the "fax sent" confirmation from the machine. Called GL two weeks later and they "did not receive the fax". Resent and called to make sure they received - and this time they did. Quick phone call to confirm receipt of any documents would...

    Politics and The Hobby...

    Regarding "good guys". Someone brought this up before and it's really worth mentioning again. One of the best ways to be "good" is not to be "bad". In otherwords, while paying attention to and being pro-active towards politics and policy decisions, don't make ourselves targets either. Common...

    Does this look like it will work?

    I have also looked for a thread on this...but what about the other way, that is to convert the pintle on the duece to tow a ball in order to tow a boat? I have seen some ball hooks guys have made but they are bulky and hang very low. Is there a way to do this that is not permanent? A bolt on...

    Drain Air Tanks Daily

    When I open the valves for draining the tanks, one of the tanks (outboard) blows a fair amount of liquid - a mostly oily water mix. After driving maybe an hour or two and I drain the tanks, it blows a spot on the ground about six inches in diameter...this normal and if not any ideas?

    Getting ready to paint

    So how much paint (gallons) does it take to sufficiently cover a M35? Either the CARC 383 or the semi gloss 34052 using HVLP?

    Road Trip from Ft. Riley To Denver

    Welcome back to CO! Nice job on the drive...my M35A2 arrived about a month ago from MN...I was back and forth on whether to make that drive, but chickened out and put it on a flat bed. Anyway, I am just finishing up the title and registration work for CO, so if you need any help with that, let...

    most important military aircraft ?

    The Huey - naturally. Unless you consider the horse an aircraft! Nothing works or sounds like a Huey. Not only is the UH-1 about as dependable and reliable as they come, few things have revolutioned the modern battlefield. Not to mention saving the lives of countless wounded soldiers. Gotta love...

    M35 Tires

    Anyone know about these tires on this M35? Who makes them, where to get them and how much? From the looks of this photo, they fit on the stock M35 rims. How do they compare to the originals? Thanks!

    Camp Ripley - Little Falls MN

    I'll be at the Camp Ripley (Little Falls, MN) DRMO/GL site the weekend of June 1, so if anyone has a GL vehicle they've won or are interested in, I'd be happy to check it out. Or if anyone else is planning a trip there that weekend and needs some help, same applies.

    Thanks for the heads up. Other than "ears" and a seat cushion :wink: what sort of spares would you recommend?

    New Deuce and Load Out Advice

    Looks like I am now the proud owner of a 1971 Deuce! The truck is located at Camp Ripley, MN. Expecting the EUC early to mid June (about 45+ days from the GL auction close). Far as I know it runs, but by EUC time, the batteries may be dead. I could use some advice/help with the load out and...
