A suggestion was made to possibly re-name the PX, "the Shack," or something related to "radio communications." This would be done in order to accomodate the radio and electronics crowd with a place to check-in, promote, and discuss amatuer radio and similar hobbies. The suggestion is contained...

I'm seeing different ideas on front bumper steps. There is the "swing-down." I know that had to have been a later mod. I'm also seeing steps taken from a tailgate and installed under the front bumper. Often on both sides. What is most "correct?" Obviously the swinging step is, but what...

I was hoping to come up with a way to get Steel Soldiers who are also Ham Radio Operators, together somehow. Is there a way to add an icon to our profile or something? Maybe just checking in here and just creating our own "pencil list" might be the only way. Just a thought. I know there are...

Quite a few inquiries being posted under "the deuce" and other forums asking for truck history. Which by the way, medlog does a SUPERB job of handling. Might he/they be better served by placing that service in the "Resources" area? He sure stays busy with it, and I know it is much appreciated.

I see many trucks with OD wheels that match the truck, and I've see a lot of trucks with black wheels. I've searched threads. I've looked at many photos. I'm more confused. What is the correct color? How do folks decide? What did the military do, and why? (oooooo! THAT'S a wide-open...

I want to PM someone who is not logged on. Is there a faster way to find a member without having to page through almost every member first? If looking for somone in the "M" part of the alphabet, in order to send them a PM, it takes forever to go page after page in "ascending order.

Operation Iraqi Freedom, 2004. Somewhere near Ad Diwaniya, on MSR Tampa. Notice the "hooks" for cutting wires at gunners head/neck level.

From the 1487th TC. Just south of Baghdad, early 2004.

I'm thinking about getting an M-105 Trailer to go with my deuce. Right now, my truck is away. Can I tow an M-105 with a civy vehicle easily enough? Or, will it be too much of a PITA? What adaptations will I have to make? And, what is easiest, adapting trailer to truck? Or truck to...

I'm hoping this is the correct forum for posting this. This is the current location of my M35A2, getting blasted and painted, along with a few other minor repair issues. http://www.mv-restoration.com/default.html Ron Leatherman is the man-behind-the-mission. If I had to describe him, I'd...

This truck was for sale/transfer to, "other law enforcement agency only." It was purchased/transferred to another Sheriff's office in southern Ohio.

I currently have the "newer" cargo cover made with the vinyl-ized material. I'm painting my truck a simple one color green like it was in 1971 when it was new. I'm thinking I might want to go "canvas," but I haven't completely decided. Does anyone have experience with either and can tell me...

I just installed a piece of angle on the back of my deuce for mounting the rear license plate. Now for the "required" white light that must illuminate the plate! I know I can just, "wire something up," but I'm thinking about a short piece of fiber optic that would transfer the light from the...

Installing the Ouverson lock-out hub and axle on the forward-rear dual of my 1971 M35A2 took less than one hour. Safety first! Tools used: 20 ton bottle jack chock-blocks drain pan rags 1/2" drive, 3/4" socket 1/2" drive breaker-bar 3/8" allen wrench anti-seize compound boat-trailer wheel...

When changing out the differential lube in my M35A2 recently, I notice something odd about the oil in the front differential. Keep in mind, the truck had not been driven for over a week when I did the change. Working forward from the rear-rear diff, the (old) oil that drained was black/brown...

My 1971 M35A2 w/ Hercules multi-fuel seems to take more cranking than I think it should. I'm on the starter button at least 15-20 seconds in two attempts usually before it fires. This occurs after setting for the better part of a day or longer. Not a problem if I go to re-start after fueling...
