    WA Hagerty comes through - again

    Anything over 10K is driver's discretion. A buddy's deuce was towed on a flatbed... via Hagerty...Not sure how legal that was, but it got done. I was told if they need to call a bigger wrecker, it will be covered but there may be an additional wait. In terms of towing to/from a shop for...

    WA Hagerty comes through - again

    After the last vehicle I insured with Hagerty was wrecked, I was a little leary going back to them, fearing rejection. Well, I started an online application, and they insisted I call. Thinking I was gonna be immediately flagged, the person that answered told me that they rejected my...

    Radiant Floor Heat

    They do have diesel air/water heaters. The water side is designed for coolant, and room for expansion, but modifying it should be pretty easy and will give you almost instant heat. IF floor heating is on, you'll probably want air heat as well.

    Making a deuce a reliable daily driver? Help make a to-do list?

    I was gifted some 80W90 from a buddy that works on a ship.. couple 5 gallon pails of the good stuff... so I'm good to go on draining and refilling axles, trans, etc. Ordered some full synthetic 15w40. It has a really robust additive package, but I'm gonna mix it 50/50 with conventional, so...

    Maryland Inspections and Registration Problem

    They are exempt, thus, comply with FMVSS. But, it's MSP.... If the vehicles are owned by a company, open an 'office' in another state and title them there.

    Anyone shoved 8D batteries in their deuce?

    Because I just got 6 8Ds for free.... and I'm trying to put them to good use. The Group 31s in there are unknown/questionable, since they're 5 years old at least, and the truck has been sitting for about that long..

    Anyone shoved 8D batteries in their deuce?

    I'm thinking there probably isn't enough room.... Maybe under a bench seat like the 5 tons?

    Anyone titled/registered a truck through the mail, in TX?

    Contacted a tax office. Seems like I just need to mail in the forms, and they'll call me with how much I owe them, and they'll mail me the documents back. My mailing address can be where I'm at, but I need a TX address on record. Should just be sales tax, right? No yearly personal property tax...

    Picture of Texas Former Military Vehicle plate?

    Only photos I'm seeing are like a decade old.. Anyone get a former military vehicle license plate recently and willing to share what it looks like? Specifically, does it still say 'military vehicle' on the bottom, or did they change that to 'former military vehicle'? I know about the no...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    GO, soaked onto a rag then rubbed on windows. You can use grease, oil, any coating really. Let it dry a couple days, then wash the windows and you're good to go. takes a lot less time and money than taping everything off.

    Hooking tow bar between trucks "alone"

    Do NOT get the aluminum towbars from IBISTek for the HMMWVs... They were removed from inventory for a reason. LOTS of failures.

    Not enought numbers in VIN

    I know the mods and whatnot will yell at you to 'search', but I don't think they'll yell at you for creating a new thread when this one is over 10 years old...

    Hooking tow bar between trucks "alone"

    I towed an M1031 behind my M934, and had to unhook and hook, usually multiple times daily, by myself. I found a flat piece of parking lot or road, unhooked the pintle, then used a ratchet strap against the brush guard to tension it. Then backed the M1031 out, which popped the lunette off the...
