    Deuce Finally Painted

    Monday began a week with no rain predicted, so I pressured washed the Deuce. The original camo scheme had chipped away leaving about 10 mottled colors, so it was time to paint. I also washed My M353 which was virtually brown with rust with a bit of tan left over. I then brush painted the...

    Some kind of tool box

    Have you ever wanted more secure storage in your Deuce? I got a win from Ft. Bragg of military gun cases for a .50 caliber. This case fits perfectly in the back of my Deuce. I knocked out a few of the posts that cradled the original gun to make better room for tools. Great improvement over...

    House moving - sort of

    Got to use the M1061A1 laundry trailer today to move a 10'X13' metal shed. A friend from church was given this shed but didn't want to have to take it apart. He knew I had a Deuce, so he asked me if I had a trailer that would move this shed. Do I have a trailer he asks? He doesn't know me...

    Mudding

    Last Monday went mudding with my sons and their friends. Took the Deuce, my son's 4X4 Ranger and a 4X4 F150. Had a blast. The mud holes were too easy for the Deuce but the teens all got a big kick out of the Deuce. There was only one hole I couldn't get through. It was deep and then had a...

    M353 Recoverey

    Thought I'd post a few "before" pics of the M353 generator trailer I finally recovered from Poppop. We pulled it back from south Georgia with my son's 4X4 Ranger - no problems. I'll clean it up this summer and paint it OD. Then I plan to build sides and add a tailgate. I was excited to be...

    Big Thanks to Poppop

    I'm sure everyone who knows Poppop knows this already, but he is a great guy. He picked up a trailer for me at Ft. Stewart last year and held on to it for me until I could get it this week. It was great to finally meet him. He's one of many fantastic guys I have met through Steel Soldiers...

    Deuce W/W saves the day (pics)

    What a day! Grizzly was coming over to buy some tires. I heard what I thought was Grizzly’s truck but it was Kenneth to pick up a M200 gen trailer. The trailer was DOWN behind the house – and was it ever muddy. Kenneth’s Dodge was slip-sliding down the trail through the woods. I thought he...

    Ft. Bragg GL Rep

    Anyone have any recent experience with the GL reps at Bragg? I was wondering how flexible they are about picking up wins a little later then the 2 weeks after EUC's clear?? I'll be off work at Christmas and it would be easier to pick things up then and not miss work, but my wins would have...

    Trailer tires

    Been working on swapping out tires from the M200A1 gen trailers I got 2 weeks ago. You may remember my son broke a 3/4 “ drive breaker bar taking off lugs. That sort of slowed things down for a bit, but Kenneth happened by and offered to weld the breaker bar. He also loaned me his monster...

    Tim at Ft. Jackson, SC

    When Kenneth and I picked up my 3 M200A1 gen trailers last week, Tim was very helpful. He did everything we asked. He carefully picked up each trailer with the forklift and put it where we wanted it. The trailer riding piggyback was delicately lowered 'till we got it right where we wanyed...

    Ft. Stewart trailer help

    Won a M353 at Ft. Stewart. Got the Georgia bases mixed up and thought Ft. Stewart was closer. Would rather not have to get it right now. Don't want to miss work. Anyone near enough to get it and store it for me for just 'till a weekend? EUC has not cleared yet. Thanx.

    Oil filter cannister leak at base

    Bonehead - Oil filter cannister leak at base Last June (4 months ago) one of my oil filter cannisters began leaking something fierce. I noticed the puddle under the Deuce when I came out of Lowes. It was about time for an oil change so I didn't give it much thought. Now a mere 4 months...
