Today in preperation for my meltdown repair, I took some pages out of the back of the -20. Specifically got some wiring schematics out of the appendix and took them over to the local Office Depot. Had them copy and blow them up to 11x14 and then laminate them. I added grommets in the upper...

Well, it was bound to happen. For the last year or better I have had the updated relay and all the parts to install it in the glove compartment of the truck and failed to install it. Monday I jumped into the truck to go get some pies and it happened, the relay stuck. Knowing exactly what was...

New to me anyways. Due to a crappy listing, a friend and I just ended up with these 2 shelters. One is an S280 and the other is unknown but the same size and appears to have the lugs for a mobilizer dolly. While they look a little rough as are, the price made them a very attractive purchase...

Greetings folks. Is there anyone active on Steel Soldiers that might be headed to Eglin in the next week or two that could take some pics of a few lots? If so I would appreciate it.

I'm looking for opinions on the CUCV carg cover system. I have all of the hardware on my truck along with a cover and frankly think it sucks. I bought bows, got a used top, bought a new top and a new arctic top and after installing it once, I'm very dissapointed in the system. Anyone else...

I've been driving by this trailer for sale for months. Everytime I see it I think how nice that would have been when I had my M275A2. Looks a little rugged and needs some tires but the layout is pretty cool. Asking I believe was $3500. 2 fuzzy cell pics!

Folks, I had a conversation with Mike the other day and the Florida Rally is on for sure. Will be at the same location in Clermont and it will be around the same time. I'll try to have a sit down and get the dates hammered out and try to get more details. Pretty much look to expect things to...

Need some brainstorming here. Now lets suppose I were to buy a deuce frame and pick it up while at the GA Rally. I'll be driving a deuce and will be pulling a pioneer tool trailer behind me. I have a few ideas here but want to see what you folks can brainstorm here. The frame is a bare...

Folks, a little trick to keep you cool on road trips. Many know this trick, many don't. Close ALL windows except the drivers side windshield. Prop that open about 6". This will pressurize the cab and blow air out all of the little holes. Not too good in town but awesome on the highway. Just...

Well, today I decided not to brave the high 90s temps and instead turned my efforts on recovering my elcheapo M105A2 from N.A.S. JAX. Loaded up the boys, the dog, food and the highlift in the suburban and left out at a little after 0500 this morning. Found myself sitting at the GL yard at...

Today I embarked on a mission to do a winch install tutorial. After the first pic and first 5 minutes of work, I knew it was going to be brutal. Temps in the mid 90s, high humidity and no shelter from the blazing sun. Needless to say there are only 2 pics but the winch is on. I didn't...

Folks, if you are planning on attending the GA Rally and have some commo gear, please post up what stuff you have.

I find it difficult to believe that in this day and age, no one at the Haspin Rally has a Blueberry or Y-Phone that can capture pics and video and post them to the site. The only other thought is that some of the attendees do have this technology and are just electing to withhold any joy that...

Folks, I have this pretty cool seat. Looks like a HEMTT seat but it's spring ride, not air. I know they are supposed to ride of some risers (about 3") inside the deuce. Anyone find a pair of these in a parts truck or know of an -A3 begin parted out? Would like to press this seat into use! TIA!

More specifically, Dillsburg area. Anyone in the area that can pick up 4 steel wheels for a pickup truck? Sorry for the short notice but this came up quick. If you know someone, let me know.\\

So today I decided to task fixing the outer dual flat on my drop side. Everyone knows what a pain these things are to break down. I have a mechanical bead breaker that you screw down on the rim the crank the bead loose. You have to do this in about 4 or 5 spots on each side to break it down...

OK folks, looking for an opinion here. I have these 37" HMMWV tires and 12 bolt rims for my M1008. 98% of driving will be highway and the remaining, who knows. I'm faced with a little dilemma here. I have no beadlock inserts or runflats. What are the pro's and cons of running the runflats...

On these 6.2 systems, what retains the fuel in the lines? Is there a checkvalve somewhere? Mine has a problem with fuel draining back in the tank over night and it's a pain to bleed it out every morning. I know my IP is on the way out!

So, a few weeks ago I get a call from an acquaintance. Seems that he has a camp about 10 miles beyond nowhwhere, deep in the swap. He uses his deuce to get back and forth to the camp. The starter has ceased to function and the truck is too heavy for the buggy to pull start. I volunteer to go...

Not really scrapping as in shredder. I'm considering selling off the M108. Before you all think I've flipped, here's what I'm considering doing. If I could sell the M108, was considering adding a knuckle boom to the cargo truck and kinda streamlining my operation. I can do more of some...
