Cabell, The Facebook link seems broken. Maybe it's my computer firewall, but I can't find that page. Maybe one has to have a Facebook account? I don't book my face... Bulldogger

My son shouted that he'd seen a shooting star Saturday night. I missed it. Perhaps we'll schedule star-gazing next year. It would be nice if we could arrange for the streetlights down the center of the campground to be shut off at some point, to improve visibility and general sleep-ease... I...

It was a blast. My son and I enjoyed it immensely. Had fun meeting all the SS'ers and their vehicles. Took rides and made drives in some of those trucks. The half-track was a highlight, but I enjoyed them all. My HMMWV had no breakdowns and ate up the trails like candy. Don't have many...

TC Renegade .54, shooting patched round balls on top of 80-100 grains Pyrodex. Nice comfortable load. I'm an iron sights shooter and load by feel. I have been scoffed at by the centerfire primed and scoped-200+ grain guys, but I also tend to hit what I'm aiming at and don't need a spotting...

Cabell told me in response to a PM I sent with several questions that it's roughly 25 yards to 100 yards. I intend to bring some new to me rifles; Model 14, Model 1894, and my Dad's old .54 cal smoke pole. See you there! Bulldogger

I disagree. Transmissions have complex innards, and like any mechanical assembly can be affected by time and neglect. I think mine forgot it had a second gear, i.e. internal valves or passageways were a little crudded up or some such (I did replace the filter and fluid). I feel certain I was...

Hey bob69302, I have the same problem as you, as noted previously in this thread. This weekend I did some driving, making sure to manually shift and make the trans use second gear when I wanted it. As of this morning, she now uses second gear longer! It is still a quick jump between 2-3 in...

That's a good point there. I have mud in my seat compartments too. If I was going to install an inverter I might put it inside something at least up to the level of the seat pan (to allow some ventilation). I've been keeping an eye out for some big plastic boxes to put my tools and stuff in...

Changed all the belts. Took a while due to cramped quarters and the new steering pump belts took no little bit of stretching to get on. Lots of small scratches on my arms. I forgot how "fun" close quarters belt replacements can be. I had intended to replace the steering pump with a rebuilt...

I have the same issue as bob69302, second to third shift in nearly instantaneous. 0-15 MPH in first, then second and then third a split second later. Is the modulator the issue, and how does one adjust it? I see in the TM a reference to checking it, but I can't find any details. The TM vol...

Replaced the left front half shaft after the outer boot blew out. Bulldogger

Royalpower beat me to it. Thecaptain's HMMWV has a back seat from a Suzuki Samurai. Rear Jeep CJ seats would also likely work. You can pay top dollar for new, or if you're near a salvage yard score something more affordable. You will want to add some brackets for the seats to bolt to for...

On my HMMWV it was the d rings for the rear curtain smacking against the underside when the bouncing was just right. A couple of small adhesive backed foam chair foot pads gave them something soft to hit. Bulldogger

I twisted one up from a piece of coat hanger using the companion on the other side as a pattern. You can also scavenge one from elsewhere on the body as linhster notes. I used standard aluminum pop rivets to mount them back on. Holding up after 4 months in use. Bulldogger

Here is a great resource on what to expect out of Deuce ownership, if you're not overly familiar with them http://wowapi.net/m35a2/M35A2_experience.htm#Table_of_Contents_and_Menu Good luck! Bulldogger

Welcome from northern Virginia Bulldogger

Point well-taken. Do you know a good source infidel? I already looked and found only New for ~$300 or more. The seal kit was only $7. If I could have found a decent condition pump for ~$100 I would buy it. Apparently the stock GM pump isn't up to snuff for this application, so has to be a...
