    MV rally/auction/trailrides, Samson, AL-the yearly Rowland get together

    I've seen pics of Lamar's rally in Supply Line and it always looks fun. He is coming to the 14SSGR.

    I've never seen a military application for the rear PTO, but I am new to WWII Jeeps (last 6 months or so) and am still learning. I can't answer if yours is correct. You'll have to wait for some more WWII Jeep guys to answer that. I don't think it is, but I am not an expert.

    Todays Govliq loadout. How'd I do ? : D

    His photobucket account may have resized it like our site does: When I upload large files to my PB, it knocks them down.

    Todays Govliq loadout. How'd I do ? : D

    How big are your images? The site should be resizing them. The following image is almost 2.5 megs, it's 3648x2736. Send me a pm with the date you sent it and who the mod was...

    Whoever that writer was, he needs an award because there are several layers of hilarity there.

    It depends-do you care about the block being "correct" down to the dates codes and/or the GPW or Willys markings? If all you care about is having the correct style engine, then it'll be easy. I think just watching craigslist, eBay, SS, G503, etc. will net you one within a few months. If you...

    Purchased a 1943 Ford GPW

    I'd definitely put it back "right". I understand your sentiment about plenty of vehicles having been modified but WWII Jeeps are iconic and pretty valuable as correctly restored units. A WWII Jeep can be a good investment to hold on to and if times ever get rough, their sale can certainly...

    Official 2014 SS Georgia Rally Info SSGR14 thread

    Well, you're about to get it. I am really excited about this year folks: I think this is the year that we take everything we've learned and put it together and create an event that no one can top. No rally, whether put on by SS or the MVPA or anybody else, has grown like this one. No rally...

    2 in 1 Recovery M38A1's

    I really like the M38A1-I think it's the best military Jeep there is-bar none. It's fast, comfortable and reasonably priced. Parts are common as well. Would really like to have another. Should never have sold our first one. aua

    1st M35A2 coming home in a week

    Also, with almost anything you find on the truck, a quick google search will yield a lot of info. For instance, the MWO # on the tag above comes back with the following gems: http://www.bunkerofdoom.com/travel/ss2009/8109_build/tm/MWO-9-2320-200-35-1_Seatbelts.pdf...

    1st M35A2 coming home in a week

    If a vehicle has really had a full blown "rebuild"* there will be a tag something like this on it somewhere: *There are a lot of people who either erroneously believe or have an ulterior motive to proclaim; that their trucks have been "depot" rebuilt and a lot of times with nothing more to...

    I am glad you brought this up because it means I should have made this more clear: So when ya'll see all the pics of the trailrides, naturally the pictures that get posted the most are of the most extreme stuff-because it's cool to see giant 6x6's doing stuff you expect little Wranglers to be...
