HOW do you back up a M105A3 trailer? The surge brakes keep me from backing up, even a little bit. I have read how to bypass the brakes with a C clamp but there MUST be a built in way to do it, or an adjustment I need to learn. I have been looking for an operators manual but have not found one...
M813RC and Reloader64 and I went up to Texarkana Tuesday to pick up our M105A3 trailers from GL and we learmed a few things along the way! It is a looong drive up there from Austin and we were up before the sparrows, and there was a threat of the first winter storm of the season, but we pressed...
I have a friend who just got hold of his first MV, a 1955 M38A1, and it still has unit markings on it. Do any of you guys and girls recognize the unit? The jeep came from Oklahoma.
Last weekend the VFW post in Leander hosted a BBQ cookoff and they asked Lonestar MVPA if we could bring a few pieces of Green Iron for a static display and we were all too happy to oblige (there WAS a promise if free food involved:)). As it was an almost entirely SS member rally I thought I...
My EUC went to BC about three weeks ago and was getting a bit anxious as my last one only took a week to go through, I found out what the holdup was today. Brandie sent me an email this morning stating the BC didn't like the scanned copy of my DL renewal. My DL expired on my birthday this year...
I am looking for photos of a bobbed M818 with the spare tire rack and tool boxes still on it, complete truck minus the 5th wheel and rear axle, maybe with a short home made bed on it. I am not looking for ideas, just wondering what one would look like...
I made this with my lacking photo...
I found this still on the movie vehicle database and wonder just what the H it is. The movie was European so I assume the vehicle is as well. The hood and front end looks like a M35 but not the rest of it. Any ideas?
I found several auction lots listed at a location that I suspect had some issues recently (of the sort experienced at Grayling) that are marked "representative pictures". The lots all have the same description and photograph. I assume this a way to force pre bidding inspections, is this going to...
I saw this rig at the show in Temple yesterday, they ran it up and down several times to please the crowd (and demonstrate the capabilities of the Modern Army:)) the HMMVW has 150 miles on it...
I guess this could be posted in the road trip section, some members of our club were at the train station in Temple today for the Temple Family Fun Day honoring the military past and present. I will post photos of the event tomorrow (after sleep...) but I wanted to post some photos of a train...
I was in an undisclosed DRMO yard yesterday, some of you may recognize it, and I saw several CUCV with semi-gloss paint almost the shade of the Vietnam era trucks. They looke VERY nice and are in the donation que, but I suspect they will get picked up (painted RED) and never make it to GL:(...
To continue my series of "This is what this many whatsises looks like in a _____", we have for your viewing pleasure 25,000 rounds of genuine US Military surplus .30M1 ammunition delivered straight from the Anniston Depot to the secure (and almost completely dry, almost) insides of my M109A3...
I had the itch to drive my M35 yesterday, with no particular destination, just wanted some seat time (and it was good:)) I had to wait till the temp went back below 100, we tied a record high for the day with 105 recorded at Camp Mabry and 112 recorded inside my M1009, it was Africa Hot. I was...
I should say right off that I have never painted a car with a paint gun, I have never painted anything made from metal with paint that didn't come out of a can with a marble in the bottom.
I should also say that WHATEVER the Army used to adhere the two stripes of tape/velcro/whatever to the...
OK, my stock box type fuel filter base was leaking (reportedly from a cracked housing) and being an overall PITA so I decided to convert to a spin on type filter arrangement. I searched here and online for photos and advice on the subject and came up dry so I decided to wing it, and I think it...
