Just another thought on the M416 trailer, on mine I put civilian wheels and matching tires as I have on my civilian Jeeps. I like being able to use 1 spare for either vehicle. I have the trailer painted to match, the tongue stays level, same track width.....can't beat it. The bigger trailers...
Agreed on the M416 trailer as a first choice (I have used 2 of them with my CJ5's and CJ8 Scrambler just fine), they are getting harder to find a decent one for a good price, another option is an M116 trailer. Maybe easier to find. A guy in SE Colo. where I got mine has @ 40 of them sitting on...
I don't have a truss kit, but I highly recommend getting and carrying a spare with you. If one spare is good, I think 2 is more good. (Just saying as a guy who had a flat once)
We had inter
We had internal comm. on our M107 and M110 self-propelled howitzers, it usually didn't work. The section chief would usually ride on the forward hull near the driver to give him instructions. When we got M109 SP's, the comm. worked "sometimes" but the section chief rode up high on...
Oh yeah! It's a good thing we aren't neighbors, I'd be over with a folding chair, coffee and a cigar making a pest out of myself. I like that idea of armor up towards the front end using the stake pockets. I was thinking if you made it "modular" somehow, you could switch back and forth as...
Great thread here guys! I gotta chime again.....as you and I have chatted some already.....it's your truck, you can set it up the way you want and it will still be right. Unless you are going full bore and making an exact replica truck (and you are not), it won't be wrong. Currently you have...
TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS,
HE LIVED ALL ALONE,
IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE MADE OF PLASTER AND STONE.
I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY
WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE,
AND TO SEE JUST WHO
IN THIS HOME DID LIVE.
I LOOKED ALL ABOUT,
A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE,
NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS,
NOT EVEN A TREE.
NO...
I've had my Goat on the road for a little over a year now. Here's a picture of the first parade I drove it in, I had 6 "spares" at home in the garage, not one in the truck that day. Mr. Murphy had a good laugh at my expense. All new tires a year later and a couple of spares in the back just in case.
If you find that manual, I'd like to see it also. I don't think there is one. We had gun trucks in Iraq and other than as issued any others were made on site usually as per whatever you could scrounge. In the early days of the ground war, we still had soft doors and tops on Hummers, as time went...
This just reminded me of an ad I saw recently from a guy selling a quad .50 mount, I believe his asking price was @ 35 g's for the mount, add 20 g's more if you wanted the replica .50's........yikes !!
I live in Colorado; I've been cold before, didn't like it, so I found a NOS heater and with lots of digging thru the archives on this site and help form a few members got it installed. Man, what a pain that was, but it's in like issue and works like a champ. You can almost make your own smoke...
Attention on deck !! Here's the story on my Gama Goat, take your seat, get comfy, hold your questions to the end and I'll try to brief.....(or not). Since "mostly retiring" and knowing I needed something to do other than wait to meet St. Pete at the entry control point, I started looking...
Does anyone have an "in good shape" decal of the what to do when swimming instructions that goes near the shifting lever mounted on their doghouse? If so and you can get a good picture of it and measurements, there is a guy on FB that says he can recreate them. Thanks much......everyone have a...
