    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    Definitely want to try to keep it dry and clean for a month or so. I don't have indoor space so all the trailers I've painted have been done under a shade shelter with a bunch of tarps set up to try to protect them. After a couple weeks water doesn't seem to be an issue for me(probably helps...

    Official 2016 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally info thread. Oct. 19-23, 2016

    I can't make it to the rally but if there's a way to buy a shirt or two and get them shipped to AZ I'd be all over that.:jumpin:

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Where'd you get the insulation from? The rear panel on mine fell off a couple weeks ago.

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2016 - July VOTE HERE!

    Meet Kilroy, the '83 AM General M925 5 ton that has adopted me. He isn't nearly as fancy as other trucks but is still just as capable! He effortlessly climbs mounds that regularly gets pickups stuck on them: He proudly flies the flag when out and about (and will be getting a more permanent...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I used 18qts of this: https://www.napaonline.com/napa/en/p/NCA75200/NCA75200 . 1 quart to flush, 1/2 quart for the filter, 16 1/2 quarts for the transmission. Probably would have been cheaper to get the 5 gallon but I wanted to be able to easily maneuver the container in the cab without risk of...

    M105 rivet bolt removal

    I Sawzall the wood on both sides of the post then use a screw driver and hammer to bust off the little piece of wood that's left. Then a pair of bolt cutters takes those rivets right off.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I changed the engine oil and filter and converted the transmission from 15w40 to DexIII. Old engine filter was Fram CH211A new is Napa 1954. Old trans filter was Fram PH3519A new is Napa 1268. I reused the gasket on the engine since Napa was going to have a long wait on it. I did not change the...

    What kind of life can you get out of a 923 with a NHC250?

    I've never driven an A2 so I don't really know how it compares to the 250 in my truck but I know I picked this truck more for the things that are (or rather aren't) included on the trucks with 250s. I prefer used items to be simple and low on accessories so CTIS, turbo and 1 spare tire instead...

    Hello from northern AZ

    Welcome! I've seen a few MVs parked out near Seligman before (M35, M813 in town and a herd of HET's and M939s out a ways by I40).

    Jeeps and others after WW2 pics

    It sure is amazing just how much equipment there was back then. If only I had a time machine and a couple million dollars! In the future people will probably look back at all lots full of M939s and M35s and think about them like we think of the WWII vehicles.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Two weeks ago I installed my new drivers seat (that is a way more complicated process than it needed to be!), reattached some of the insulation to the back of the cab, new headlights, removed the old strap and replaced the bolts holding the jerry can bracket to the fender (again way harder than...
