Yes. The flat "upper" field that touches Randolph Church Road is the vendor area. We expanded it for 2013 so that the entire upper field is swap meet. Exceptions for the 12 power/water spots, obviously-if you rented one of them, you can do whatever you please in your area (camp, swap meet...
Believe it or not, that is 5+ years of the dust from the Ga. Rally.
The concrete that we call "dirt" here in Ga. is awful. It's a solid red clay that when wet is incredibly slick and when dry,, literally harder than rock. When we buried my gutter downspouts, the ditch witch lifted the wheels...
I ran into this today and found this thread (very good thread title!). After reading Nick's advice, I went back out to the mule, took a cheapie wrench and ran it past the bench grinder to make it thinner and smaller.
I simply removed the upper air shroud-I did not find it necessary to remove...
Odds are it's DOT5. I've never encountered a deuce that didn't have BFS.
Here's how to identify it: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?7031-Brake-fluid-how-to-tell-which-kind-you-have-DOT-3-or-DOT-5
I'd keep on with the BFS.
I can't remember if they're here but a good list is here:

If I had a spare one, I'd send it your way.
If you can't find another one, I have one we can pull off a truck if you need it to get the truck operational for the rally.
This is the guy you want to talk to, he's helped us out innumerable times and is 100% reliable:

Be forewarned-he, like every other cool person on the plane, he is in preparation for the world famous Steel Soldiers Ga. Rally and may be...
He said "I shall compose an opera which will rally men's (and women) spirits so that they may accomplish insane things!".

A lot of people think that music was written for Apocalypse Now and don't realize it's a famous opera.
Probably the biggest impediment to offroad prowess in the 6x6's is the open differentials. With the differentials locked, they're quite impressive.
Cost
Reliability
Likelihood of broken parts by inexperienced operators
Lack of necessity (the US military somehow made it all the way Europe and...
I'll bet the only reason ARB has sold any air lockers for the M44 Rockwell is the hardcore offroad market. I think sewerzuk is the only deuce owner I can think of that has ponied up the $$$ for lockers. I'd do it in a heartbeat if I had the money but $2500 for the 3 would get me a lot closer...
