    GA Meet, Greet, and Eat

    Is there room to back a deuce up with a long car trailer and turn around in that lot? To me it looks like if you drive down into the PTLBBQ end head first, you'll basically have to back all the way up to exit the parking lot.

    Questions on Removing Transmission

    The blocks are to make it easier to install the pressure plate. When the pressure plate is not bolted on, the fingers are at their maximum height and the pressure plate disc is "closer" to the flywheel relative to the pressure plate mounting flange. When you're tightening the bolts down...

    A couple of M35a2 design and history questions

    1. I don't know for sure but I suspect the hard top was part of the original design criteria-I've seen plenty of pictures of very early gassers that have hard tops. I know any truck with an arctic kit has a hardtop and the arctic kit was something they'd already conceived of by the...

    Military unit designation code on equipment, how to read

    Do generators get registration #s like vehicles? Like "4K5994" or "87K1526"? Because to me, that looks more like a registration # than a unit marking.

    Questions on Removing Transmission

    I always pull the jack shaft. You can remove and install with the PTO but it's much more challenging. I've done them with overhead gantry cranes, a lift on the back of a tractor, engine hoist and the correct GI hoist. The biggest benefit to leaving the PTO on is that you can actually get a...

    I'd love to have it so I can build one for my other truck, HQ41.

    M35A2 questions

    Oh, you don't mean the fuel pump in the tank, you mean the injection pump doesn't work. Because it should run without the in tank pump once you get fuel up to the booster pump. So let me get this straight: No winch, no dropside, no expensive new tires, no lockouts, rusty interior, doesn't run...

    Lord help me I've become a Goat Herder

    Best trailer in the world for a deuce is a deckover equipment trailer. Big enough to put a lot of stuff on it but small enough to comfortably pull.

    NK0242-72's Build Thread (Rmgill's deuce)

    As seen at the 2013 Ga. Rally: And as seen, in 2006, at the cookout that became the Ga. Rally: And very few of you know this, but rmgill is actually the one to blame for the Ga. rally. He's the one in 2006 who said "all us army truck guys should have a get together". And 8 years later we...

    Finally in the Jeep club :)

    1958_M274 recommended Peter DeBella Jeep parts to me and I've spent about $2K with them so far without issues.

    Finally in the Jeep club :)

    The windshield is definitely canted back a bit. I am willing to bet they removed the thick gasket under the frame and moved the windshield locks on the dash further down in order to pull it back. I would imagine their goal was reduced wind noise and buffering.

    M-series flasher relay - civvy conversion how-to

    EG22 is a 24V flasher relay. I do not know if this will work with LEDs-thank you for bringing this up. I will edit the original post and add that disclaimer.

    Here are the Home Despot part #s so you can grab exactly what you need: And another schematic of the EG22 relay, in case my photoshopped version wasn't clear: The final version can be seen here: And can be seen installed on HQ43. You can see the pattern of the old unit in the paint on...

    M-series flasher relay - civvy conversion how-to

    So, everyone is familiar with the standard M-series flasher relay? 2 bolts, 3 pin cannon connector, attaches to the drivers side firewall or inner fender, depending on model. This one: How many of you realize that the current replacements are absolutely worthless trash? Well, they are...

    Finally in the Jeep club :)

    That looks great. I love the M38A1-it's the best military Jeep there is. Never should have sold my first one.

    Who makes the best hub boot?

    Saturn. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?9728-2-month-old-split-axle-boots But, keep in mind that most of this stuff comes from one place and there are 50 people and businesses selling it. So getting it from White Owl is likely to be the same as getting it from Memphis. I've done...

    Who makes the best hub boot?

    I would be willing to bet that what a lot of people think are ripped boots, cut open from debris offroad are actually splits in the rubber from it decaying from the grease. These boot pictures are a set of boots 5 months after installation. They had come into contact with nothing but grease...
