I won a M1112 Water Trailer from Gov. Planet and picked it up with my M35A2C . The (8) eight tires all needed to be inflated and the trailer brakes did not work. But the tank was empty so I towed it home.
I soon found out there were few to no places to get any parts for this trailer. I managed...
Many thanks to Blendmaster and Prospector for another great event.
A special thanks to Hill Billy Willy fro his assistance with my truck.
Enjoy the pictures...I hope you can get thru all of them.

Updated plans
UPDATED PLANS : Looks like Dave is bringing his WW2 WC weapons carrier, R.J. is bringing his deuce, I am bringing my WW2 GPW jeep, and two more people want to attend. Chris with his M38A1 jeep and trailer, and Jim with his jeep. Chris and Jim need to firm up their schedules to...
It is firmed up. Bob and Gary will attend with their neat command tent (like the picture attached), and pretty sure our pilot R.J. (picture of his plane attached) will tag along driving the M35 to the site while I drive the jeep. (Pictures attached).
So...Blendmaster2002, tell me where...
Shout out to Blendmaster and Prospector.

After being M.I.A. for two years I finally get to go to the Big Bear event. Two pals from the Central Coast Convoy...
Bishop Fall Colors Auto Show
I asked if I could be entered in this annual car show in my hometown. They said GREAT...enter in the special interest category. There was a custom four wheel drive raised corvette (took second place) and other vehicles in my category.

Rear bed tool bnox tow bar install
I put my tow bar in the bed next to a home made tool box, but it could be placed all the way up front under the headache board without the tool box. Just another idea for you.
After reviewing the TM 11-263 for the GRC-9, TM 11-230C for the SCR-694, TM 11-4009 for the BC-1306 and TM 11-4015 for the RT-12/TRC-2... I have come to the uneducated (radio dummy) belief that the model radio I have
( RT-12/TRC-2) does not have the BA-1293 Bias battery plug in or BA-1293 Bias...
I have acquired a RT-12/TRC-2 labeled radio that appears to be complete and in really great condition. In researching what I need to see if the radio will work I received the following information
"Take the Receiver out of the chassis and look for a small battery colored green, that is either...
Thank you for the information. Going around 60-62 mph and trying to stop quickly is a chore with stock brakes. Saving up for the 11" set up. Also, I got REAL lucky as I am picking up a late fourties Koenig jeep hard top in great shape with all the windows for free! (sadly no doors)
