    Official 2010 SS Ga Rally Info thread

    For some reason, this thread now reminds me of a joke... This city lawyer gets tired of the ratrace, quits his job, sells his house and buys a cabin out in the mountains. He's out there for about a month and has a knock at the door. When he answers it, there is a scragly older man with a beard...

    Florida Guys - Who is up for a mid September Ride?

    That's ok, my family has been trapping gators for the state for 15 years now, and I've never met a gator I did not like. Only problem is, Gucci has decided to buy hides only from Louisiana now, and has forced many of the trappers to give up thier livelyhood.

    M818 - Took the plunge!

    It's kind of weird how both trucks have the same color wheels in the same order on the passenger side.

    M818 - Took the plunge!

    Uh... She had the same exterior decorating team as the M109A3 I won in the same auction?

    M818 - Took the plunge!

    That first one looks like one that was sitting in SC last week. Nice truck. If it's the one I'm thinking of, you got a good deal on her too!

    M1009 floor mount mystery

    I found a bunch of live M16 rounds in one of mine in that hole. So much for the "No brass, No ammo sergeant" we all had to say in basic training at the firing range.

    If my wife does not go, my favorite store-bought brand is Guinness Stout. If she is with me, then it is water... God love her!

    100 day club...

    Ahh... yes. Sale 5073. I never will forget that number. It will be with me until the day I die. Had 4 deuces on that sale. The almanac said be ready for a long wait, but I didn't pay attentionto the almanac that year. Wish I had. Since then, I have been a real pain in the arse to GL as soon as...

    M1009 Interior Door Panels.. Atlanta area

    Here is a tip for putting it back on: Install c-clip onto crank handle first, then push crank handle onto shaft. The c-clip will flex around the shaft and click when it is pressed far enough to reach the little slot it sets into. It took me ten years of pulling off the handle then fishing it...

    Just don't make any cracks about how long it took me to wean. The pediatrician said 9 years old is perfectly normal for some individuals...

    Tubes required for super singles?

    Oh good, I'm glad someone else uses silicon-based oil on the rubber of their tires. I know a while ago there was a debate as to if it will dissolve rubber over time. While I did not get an A in all of my chemistry classes, I seem to remember a basic rule is like dissolves like, so my vote goes...

    One thing led to another

    Man, I feel for you. I hate that sinking feeling when I am getting close to finishing a job, and start thinking to myself how smooth it went, only to realize I left a part off that goes on under everything else, and basically need to go back to square one, do not pass go, do not collect $200. If...

    Tubes required for super singles?

    Have you tried spraying the rim edges and tire edges down with silicon oil? It works great for making them slip off and on. I had to change out some 16.5" rims with my HUMVEE tires, and the silicon oil made it possible to do it without a machine.

    My M1009 IS HERE! Pictures and video!

    Yeah, I think I mentioned that... If you do try the pull-the-steeringwheel method, let us know how it goes. I have never been one to try the square peg into the round hole, but have heard tales it can be done. I know for a fact the spilines inside the wheel are made to fit onto the shaft in one...

    Lockers or no Lockers?

    Here's a question: Does anyone know if the M109A3 deuces come with lockers in any of the axles?

    Swapping in a rear Dana 70 or Corporate 14

    Look in your want ads and any classified ads like "Buy/Sell Bulletin" or "The Swapper" are what we have in Alabama. You'll almost surely be able to find an old chevy K20 with the set up that is a perfect swap for your M1009. I found a 1978 K20 with no engine or transmission and missing doors...
