There are a lot of different forums and each one is built around a specific vehicle or era. Most of the traffic on this site is geared toward the big trucks so it would only make sense that you would see more big trucks in the monthly competition. Other sites like the G503 is more geared toward...
I forgot to mention in the last post that I've owned it since 2012 and have done nothing to this truck other than what I mention previously although I did buy a cargo cover for it. This thing is as it was when it was released from the military. Of course when you buy a deuce you have to get a...
This truck and I were both assigned to Fairchild AFB when I was AD however we never crossed paths because it was assigned to the civil engineer squadron of the Air National Guard. Never drove one of these trucks so I got a quick lesson from the DRMO manager who was retired military. He told me...

Common problem because these gauges are sealed and over time the seal deteriorates and allows moisture in behind the glass. You can buy new gauges but they will eventually do the same thing.
Nope. If you have a deuce or larger it will be registered as a commercial vehicle due to weight. If you own a vehicle 11 years or older you can get permenant plates. My 151's are both permenant plated along with the rest of my civy vehicles but my deuce is considered commercial so it cant be...
