Yes. We have a fantastic Saturday getaway planned for the group. For those of you who haven't been on the convoy, for the last few years, we have done an official Saturday morning convoy to a local bbq joint about 20 miles away. This grew out of an ad hoc thing that (I think) AMGeneral and...

Folks, I have to ask for a little help here: The professional videographer we had lined up to shoot this years event (including the hardball convoy) is not going to be able to make it this year. So we need some videographers to shoot the hardball convoy and maybe some interviews and footage of...

For the last 7 years, we've either been the second or third weekend in October. You can see a 10+ year history of temperatures in the very first post in this thread. We've had rain twice I think, the first yar at D-town in 2008. Mild misting, not terrible and very good offroading. This past...

Desert Storm I think

I am sorry I couldn't make it. Just too much work right now. 7 days a week. Worked 11 hours today just trying to keep up. Would have liked to participate.

I saw Wehring's truck and trailer in Lawrenceville, Ga, yesterday and it was first class (especially the hitch). I also want to thank Wehring for calling me yesterday and giving me a heads up on arrival and departure times so my Dad and I could have time to meet the group.

Wehring, when do you guys think you're gonna' make it to Lawrenceville, Ga for the lunch stop tomorrow? Some of us SS folks wanna' come say hi but we don't when to expect ya'll. Thanks

I went to the Ga. MVPA monthly meeting today and we (SS) were invited to their fall rally. They're having their rally in conjunction with the Southern CJ Jeep sales group's fall rally. It's this coming Saturday and it's a one day event. You can see the event on their Facebook page here...

Are you referring to the radial tire upgrade? Because I have about $1900 in my G177 upgrade and I have absolutely no doubt that in the long run, I will save money. The lifespan of modern radials like the G177 is so much longer than the soft bias ply NDT or NDCC tires that they aren't even in...

This is the story I believe. The warranty issue explains why pieces were marked that would never see the light of day.

g503.com is an excellent community for WWII Jeeps. That being said.................... What I see: The added lights on top of the front fenders are likely turn signals, added for safety or to meet safety regulations. They moved the blackout light on the drivers fender backwards to...

Chickenhawk is amazing. One of the best books I've ever read. Strongly recommended.

M39 series 5 ton = LDS M809 series 5 ton = NHC250 Cummins

That is such a great shot with the moon in the background.

I have been playing with cars for a long time and have still never been able to decide what the best choice is here. Pressure washing it is fast and easy but the inevitable sprayback sucks and the environmental issues are non favorable. I have a nice 30 gallons parts washer but it takes...

Here's the thing about deuces and trailers (and I guess this goes for 5-tons as well). If you want to pull normal, civvy type car haulers or even deckover style trailers, you'll need a receiver hitch and a dropped drawbar. The factory pintle is so high that even if your deckover has an...

Do you have the factory arms on the air motors or do you have the M44A3 style electric wipers? I've never found the factory air ones as a civilian unit-I've only seen them at surplus places. If you do a conversion to civilian arms, you can use civilian blades as well. There are some good...

Scrap here in Georgia is so low I've been sitting on about 6,000 lbs for months waiting for it to go back up.
