I and/or the rally can't help you with the sale or $$$, but I say to anyone that's on the other half of the country:
We love the opportunity to meet hobby members from faraway places and if there's a way the rally can assist, we'll do it. I've been trying to lure NDT out here for years. I...
Ok folks, this is the official "please help us" thread for the 2017 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally (17GMVR).
If you are willing to assist with any of the following operations, I'd like you to pm me your dates of availability, your times of day of availiability and your cell #. I'll put you down in...
Ok folks, this is the official buy-sell-trade thread for the 2017 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally (17GMVR).
Post up here what you want to sell, what you want to buy and what you're looking to trade.
I'll start:
I'm looking to buy:
NOS multifuel engine in can
NOS or new repro M35A2 front...
Ok folks, sorry this took so long. I like to try and put these threads out about 6 months before the event, but it just didn't happen this year. Also, yes, I will pressure our videographer to finish editing all the 2016 footage. He does this for free and it's hard for me to really lean on him...
Your truck looks awesome. I have been bugging a friend to buy a set of 177s and do his truck in 24087. I just sent him these pics to further the cause.
Awwww man, I'm so flattered (Valence copying my idea).
I keep hoping I'll start seeing deuces on Craigslist with "Clinto flasher relay mod" the way you see CUCVs with the "Doghead starter relay mod".
I'm not Valence but I'll tell you how mine is.
I had a variety of switches that needed to...
I think that's an M104 data plate on something else, like an M105 / carpenters trailer.
The M104 has a front gate, different parking brake handles and different landing gear. See:

If you forced me, I'd guess that's actually an...
Best I can do for now is this, I didn't think to shoot it when I had it apart. But I don't mind removing the cover this weekend, it's just 4 screws. I can send you some or post them here.
I'll get them Saturday or Sunday and I'll see how cheap I can get it to 49506.
Thanks

Bought it from Emery. I had bought some stuff from him when I was trying to patch the old tank and he offered me the factory pickup filter and the modern style. I had him send both so I could assess them and make a decision. I sent the factory stuff back.
I am sure it's just a commercial...
Thanks.
Bought the aluminum specific primer at the local paint shop where I buy all my paint stuff (other than the epoxy primer I buy off the internet and have shipped).
Prep was washing it to ensure it was spotless, then prepped it with comet and a 3M scotchbrite pad. This cleaned the...
I didn't enlargen them-I just left it as is. On mine, the bolts coming down through the top of the deck aren't fully "bottomed out" in the slots, but they're good enough.
However, in terms of would it be ok to make the slots a little larger, hh yeah. The new tank is made out of much thicker...
Continued.
Tank install:
What do you guys figure my old tank is worth? I would imagine there's someone out there who has a mule but can't afford a $700 tank that would be willing to put some sweat equity into repairing an old tank to save some $$$.
$100?
Old tank:
I got my Mule from Maccus in 2008.

When Maccus did the restoration, repro fuel tanks weren't available. And the tank, like pretty much all Mule fuel tanks, was dented. So Maccus made an outside cover to give...
