Got what I had out this weekend and did a dry run with some of this years command staff guys for East Wind III. We set the command tent and interfaced it to my M35A2 which we then filled with radio for doing some 6 meter yakkity yaking on using both the truck's VRC-12 system and some of our...

That does sound like a clever plan.

Lucky for me I am not really out to do great things with these just have a period correct system for the HQ guys at East Wind to use. These are the most correct computers for the era and do all of the things that we need to get done like type reports, create SOI/CEOI cards, and keep track of...

Excellent! Email sent sir!

What you should do Augdog is arrainge to be hauling it back to your place along I-70 between March 13-21st and stop off at East Wind with it along the way home. I am sure Brett's BTR-40 would appreciate a little backup and I am sure you would have a good time as well. East Wind is all of...

Seriously? Nobody out there knows anything about these things?

I know it may seem weird to be looking for parts for an outdated monochrome 486 computer in this day and age but there is method to my madness. I spend all year gathering bits and pieces to run one annual event. Operation East Wind www.operationeastwind.com East Wind is set in the closing...

That’s Dave down in Springfield. He gets MASSIVE scrap canvas lots and sorts through them to fish out salvageable stuff. He is fairly close by to me (300 miles or so) so I tend to get a lot of stuff from him. He is a great source if you happen to need something odd like MKT canvas bits...

Yup, I am bringing the MKT and the Deuce out. I am getting off easy for a change with the MKT, I just need to bake potatoes and do some breakfast stuff, this should be a snap :)

Why not just use a M105 bed then wipe the wheel wells out entirely? That’s what we did when we used an M105 bed for Tascabe’s Unimog. Pictures show our current progress:

Just updating this for everyone who comes seeking info later: I ordered a Parts Unlimited 04-237 shock online from www.alssnowmobile.com Cost was $23.95 plus shipping. Shipped out the same day I ordered. Shipping costs were fairly excessive at $15.95 but at least these guys could actually...

I live in KCK just up off of SW Blvd. I am not sure I count as a CUCV guy but I do have one marrooned in front of my house that belongs to Stagg (torque converter trouble) who also an SS member, abliet from Lawrence rather than KC. We're going to get out there and fix it once it warms up...

M109 pilfered at GL Ft. Riley After I got my M35A2 several buddies really liked it and decided to get trucks themselves. The entire process on my truck went fairly well from bidding to driving it home and I really had a pretty positive experience overall. Not so much for my friend Terry...

@MWMULES: Sweet, you are just over the hill from me, we can have an MKT club! We used 1 double burner propane stove last East Wind and that little monster about ran us into the poor house. Propane is very convenient, and I think if I was not having to cook every meal for 60+ people I would...

As I have mentioned a few time around here, once a year my airsoft club runs a 9 day long continuous immersive airsoft event called East Wind. For 9 days, participants live the life of a field deployed unit choosing either US/NATO or Warsaw Pact/Soviet. The scenario is set in the ending...

RE: Legal issues with transporting "troops" in a D Actually come to think of it, I live just up the road from a Kansas Highway patrol office. I should just dust off the duece and drive down there this afternoon and ask.

The main reason I have my Deuce is to support my crack like addiction to playing milsim airsoft. It happens that we haul enough gear around when doing larger scale events that even a 1 ton pickup truck was not cutting the mustard and given that we always had to go some place off-road towing a...

Just got my paperwork returned from the state of Kansas for the same reason. They will not accept reassigned paperwork on a Federal title as well. I'll call and talk to GL tomorrow and figure out how to work around it. I am sure this is just one of those situations of everyone needing to...

RE: Re: RE: Odd way to start a CUCV We are trying to get some info on it from the last users but as of yet we really do not have much to work with as far as "how long has it sat" Fuel did not look overtly horrible as diesel fuel goes and I do not think we have a fuel supply problem based on...

RE: Re: RE: Odd way to start a CUCV The engine turns over fine but it doesn't start without ether.
