    I haven't been there before as I always miss it. This year I'll be able to attend but only on Thursday. Are most of the sellers there on Thursday or should I just skip it?

    Lug nut size on M105A2 trailer? Anyone know off the top of their head?

    M105A2s usually have 9.00 x 20 tires. They also have tubes so even if the tires are a little weathered still should be good. I recovered mine in NJ and brought a lot of the same items and only needed my 2 pound sledge to remove the side racks for better towing. Pulled it back to Cape Cod in an...

    M934 Stalling out help needed

    Hey Actionhero, if it is the NHC250, as in 934 A1 or A0, check the fuel pick up tube in the tank, may be loose sucking air. Also check fuel tank vent. Make sure it is not plugged with stuff, wasp, mud dauber etc. Also check the large fuel filter for plugging or the washer under the bolt not...

    Decent paint job with brush and roller - anyone?

    Painted mine with brush and roller and used Behr Premium Ultra straight out of the can. Had to move the truck to the shade as it was drying too fast in the sun. Painter over 2 years ago and still looks pretty good. Some poorly prepped rust does show through.

    I can tag onto General Mcgregor's video as I was the tail end of the convoy and Jeep Nasty was also there. My 1984 M923 was in pretty rough shape when I first saw her, no engine or transmission and the hood was in the bed. Installed an engine and trans out of a M936. Painted with Behr paint and...

    Push button light switch

    One of these switches was installed in my M923 when I bought it about 2 years ago and was warned about the issues. I figured it I ran it for awhile with no problems that it would be ok. Well at the local 4th of July parade a month ago the lights starting flashing and I tried to shut them off...
