So, I'm kind of confused. He drove to an area that was waaaay off limits, but in the picture of the truck from the drivers side, the front tire is deflated and the bead is broken and the rear tire looks non existent. Did he drive up there and screw up the tires, then come looking for help...

I have a $400 Sata gun I never use anymore because of these. I've shot CARC, Gillespie, TM9 urethane paint, automotive primer, base, clear and pearl through these and had very few problems. I've had a few come apart and a few where I stripped something on them but they are, for the most part...

I hate to make a judgement just on a craigslist ad, but that looks okay to me. M44A3 rims (so they aren't homemade), not a homemade winch, C&C snorkel (I think, regardless, it's not made out of surplus plumbing parts), doesn't look like a rust bucket, factory correct winch (not some cobbled...

A. Disregard the mileage. 55,000 indicated means nothing. When the speedometer dies in service, Pvt. Snuffy goes down to the motorpool and pulls one off the shelf and installs it. Or cannibalizes a dead truck out in the field. Unless the current owner bought it form the service and it had...

It is pretty well documented that AM General views their vehicles as something they sell to the government and they wish them not to be in private hands. Try calling them about anything, regardless of how trivial it is and telling them you're a civilian owner of anything they've built at any...

You have to use spacers and your 20 ton probably won't do it. My 30 ton wouldn't do it and I had a 4' long bar on the hydraulic ram. My machine shop has something absurd like a 50 or 100 ton press and I had to farm it out to them. They said they had 2 guys pulling on a long bar and when it...

LOL, the rebuilder took the original data plate off and replaced it with the rebuild plate.

In my experience, it's a total toss-up as to whether a truck is safety wired. I expect they were all safety wired from the factory and at some point, a hub was separated from a drum and Pvt. Joker chose not to re-safety wire it. Some of these are not great pictures, but it's all I can do. My...

Shoot, at the rate we're moving at this year, we're going to be all planned up and ready to roll by Friday of the rally! Only took 12 years. :) Dropbox or drive is great. As long as the spotty internet holds up. I think what I'll do is have a nice simple master list of people's names and...

The way the military ID'd some of this stuff is confusing. You have an M35A2. An M35A2C has a dropside bed. There are C and D turbos. An M35A2 can have either. Here are some threads that will help you identify the different turbos...

Ok, I fixed the links to the volunteer thread, I created a buy-sell-trade thread for the event and I edited post #1 to have that link as well. Links: Volunteers: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?177370-2018-Ga-Military-Vehicle-Rally-volunteers-thread Buy-sell-trade...

So, let's go ahead and do this. Last couple of years I've been slack about getting the threads out as soon as I'd like and 2018 is the year of change. So, this is simple: post up what you are looking for and what you're looking to move. And please, remember, we're 7 months out. If you're...

So, I forgot to create this one when I created the rally thread and the rally buy-sell-trade thread. We've worked for a long time to get the rally streamlined and I think at this point, we're pretty efficient. This is what we need: Registration tent: People with people skills, diplomacy...

That is awesome work.

This is the right way to affect the change we want. Bitching on the internet feels good but accomplishes nothing. Organizing, contacting representatives and being knowledgeable, not crazy and polite make things happen. Look what Swiss and Zout and the guys in Georgia did.

Folks, that is the right way to use the internet. That's a heck of a good, complete and technical answer.

Just the deuce ones, I'm like Kenny, I'm too smart to own a 5-ton. rofl If you have an underdash diverter box that's identical to a deuce except it's mirror imaged (i.e. the hot air inlet is on the passenger side), that's for M39/M809 5 ton and maybe M939 (not sure). The underhood heater box...

Hey Microjeep, I'll take all those deuce heater parts. Gracias

If you guys aren't gonna' use that old F-14.............................................

Looking for a good deal on 5 Goodyear 11:00R20 G177s. My buddy just got 5 for his deuce, we need the other 5.
