Cheryl's idea of roughing it is Motel 6.

Lastly, the vehicles lined up while their drivers/riders were eating at the picnic pavilion.

Another set - Steve showing articulation and the M934 in the 'coast to the pin' event. And, yes, they got the sides rolled back in before getting on the road home and all they had on the three axle trailer was a jeep going home!

Let's see if I can get some of mine uploaded. Adam and Billy at the truck races.

Not only quieter, but also more 'fuel efficient'. I remember reading that the generator fuel delivered to remote sites in Afghanistan cost as much as $400 a gallon by the time it was put in the generator. Ships to trucks going through Pakistan (and being blown up) to bases in the 'stan, then...

Yes, the TM 9-2815-210-35 manual would be a welcome addition. I just got through looking and I have the -34-1, the -34-2-1, the -34-2-2, and the 34P, but no -35.

Do you have the air shift or Sprague T/C? With the air shift, you decide when the front axle is engaged - everything in it still turns, but no power is applied. If that is suitable, then just remove the shaft between the two rear axles. You would wind up with two wheel drive most of the time...

Correct tires are 1100 x 18 inch rim, same size as the DUKW. Because the Goat is designed to go in the water, there is a lot of 'other' stuff for the rims to do - the brakes are in their own waterproof housing for one. Unless Coker Tire has had another batch made, Joel got the last seven they...

yes!

He just did not specify where it was moving out FROM. Sounds like in this case it was the clouds.

Have a pair of 'tetter-totter' ramps for a low-boy GI trailer. Found a similar all steel set on e-bay for $450, several people say these are much rarer to find. Anyone want to make it worth my while to bring these to the rally? Each one is 20 inches wide and 72 inches long, and they are each a...

Even the GI vinyl ones will give out if left in the sun for several years - I can post pictures for the non-believers. This is true of both cab tops and cargo covers. Want to use the same ones 10 years from now, keep them out of the sun! Only want them to look nice for at least five years...

The BC-325 can get up into the CB frequencies, but it's about 395 watts to much power to be street legal on those channels. That being said, I can remember a radio tech sitting next to me operating on the CB channels with a Collins 10KW transmitter, at full power! We were playing with an...

Well, let's see what your info can give us. Contract number shows it is a part of the 1970 (the -70-) contract. Tag inside drivers door frame - seatbelts installed May 1993 Inside drivers door "CARC 06" - painted with CARC paint in 2006 Identification No. 04M-58171 0525-2389 - There is an...

Both Loews and Home Depot have 'cool seal' type paints in the roofing section. It's a white elastometric paint that can expand as much as 350 percent to cover cracks, normally used on campers and mobile homes to seal up joints that are leaking. It does take as many as three coats to make a...

Jason, Are you coming to the GA Rally? Someone may just have a good replacement there.

Take the windows out and clean them up, then get some #8 stainless steel machine bolts about two inches long (might be shorter, but after you do one, you can adjust the length). Push the window back together as best you can then drill two holes for the #8 bolts to go through from the outside to...

Heard from a fellow that used to own a BC-325 about 20 years ago. He said: Two more things that I forgot to add last night. The trailer is powered by a PE-75 generator set. So could be operated while the vehicle was in motion. The transmitter is powered by a GN-42-(*) generator which is...

I found some stuff on the elusive BC-325 today. It's 3.5 ft wide, 2 ft thick (front to back), and six feet high, with a weight of 900 pounds! Operates on the 1.5 to 18 MHz band, 400 watts CW, 150 watts voice, range 1000 miles. Replaced by the SCR-299 transceiver BC-610, which had similar...

novaman, Give the naysayers a challenge. Run their generator and a similar sized MEP under full load 24/7 with the only shutdowns being for the required PM (100 hour oil and filter changes), for 3000 hours (125 days of running), or whichever one breaks down first! The MEP's are supposed to go...
