    Houston area 5-ton Wrecker Experience

    Ha! I am a slacker. “My” M936 is only 25 miles from the house, but I haven’t been able to get it home yet!! Don’t worry, I’ve got excuses.... The current owner didn’t get a SF-97 from Gov Planet and the lack of a title has slowed me down. Now coronavirus has my county on a stay-at-home...

    Houston area 5-ton Wrecker Experience

    Howdy. I see you are in Huntsville. SS member Truagg lives in Huntsville and I believe he has a M936 wrecker. Maybe you can shoot him a PM?

    2020 TX MV Rally at the Brazos Valley Off-Road Ranch

    I enjoy the rally each year. Then, after I've gotten home and taken a shower, I enjoy posting pictures and videos from the rally. Since most sporting events are cancelled (as was our rally), it seems that there are a lot of re-runs on TV these days. It seems only fitting that we have some...

    2020 TX MV Rally at the Brazos Valley Off-Road Ranch

    I forgot to update my calendar. A reminder on my phone just went-off telling me that the annual TX Rally is tomorrow. Bummer!

    Where to find wheel seal?

    As stated above, it's really not a bad job. Check out this thread: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/front-axle-seals-and-boots-stepxstep.8460/ You have already gotten several good references for parts. In my opinion, buy the boots from Rockwell Offroad. It's a good product. I have them...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I’ve got a wheel cylinder on my center axel that is not working. The passenger side breaks were dragging. So this week I got both break drums off that axel and took them to my local NAPA (which also has a machine shop). They turned the drums for me (only took 18/1000 off) and charged $20 per...

    Greater Houston-area Events

    Yesterday’s meet and eat was a great time! There were 3 MVs (two Deuces and a crew cab 5 Ton), a Jeep, Dodge Charger and two motorcycles. We had 10 people at lunch. Afterwards, four of us hung around and worked on TAZZJR’s Deuce for the rest of the afternoon. Perfect weather, great company...

    Drive something else, ugh? I wouldn’t recommend driving your boat! A couple guys will show up in their personal (i.e., non-military) vehicle. We won’t turn anyone away. Well, ok, we might turn you away if you drive a Prius....

    We are still on for the meet and eat on Saturday, February 22. I'll get to the shop at 9am. TAZZJR will get there about 9am also and we'll do some work on his Deuce. We'll head next door for lunch at 7 Leguas around noon. Feel free to join us at any time Saturday morning and/or hangout after...

    TX to LA and back 2-17-2020

    AAR: It was a great day, and everything went smoothly! Wes - Sounds like I missed you by about an hour. Jason (texas30cal) and I left this morning at 9am. I had a transmission to take to Garrett, and Jason needed to pick up a turbo. We also used the opportunity to buy several more goodies...

    Good question. I do not have experience changing tires. Do you have stock rims on your Deuce? And what type/size tires?

    TX to LA and back 2-17-2020

    I’m headed from my home in Montgomery, Texas to Jeepsinker’s place in DeRidder, Louisiana and back home on Monday, February 17. I’m taking my full size SUV and may or may not pull a 20’ trailer. Let me know if you need anything moved between Texas and Louisiana. If needed, I can hold...

    Source for custom M105 Canvas Top?

    Howdy, and welcome to SS! I don't have a lead on custom canvas, but I may have a tan M105 cover I'd sell. If you are interested, I'll confirm and let you know. Not to get off-topic here, but have you seen that the annual Texas Rally is coming up in March? Several guys sleep in the back of...

    Time to blow the cob webs out of this thread.... Who's up for a meet and eat in Montgomery, Texas on Saturday, February 22? Here's what I'm thinking: We can meet at my shop off Highway 105 and have lunch at the Mexican food restaurant next door. I'll get to the shop at 9am and figure we can...

    2020 TX MV Rally at the Brazos Valley Off-Road Ranch

    I’ve met other SS’ers before in Montgomery on Hwy 105 or in Navasota (Hwy 105 and Hwy 6) and convoyed to the rally. If the timing works, I’m in.
