    MVPA 2012 ALCAN Convoy sighting

    Yeah, I like the CMPs too - I like almost any cabover truck, especially military ones! I was thinking that was an M109 in pic #3.

    MVPA 2012 ALCAN Convoy sighting

    Yeah, his last email said he was at a gas station in Casper, WY when he met these guys and got to talk with them - that was a couple of hours ago. Sure wish I could take a few weeks (or month) and do it with them! That sure was a nice '37 Ford!

    MVPA 2012 ALCAN Convoy sighting

    He said there was a box duece (which is an M109) pulling an engineer trailer that was from South Carolina, 2 other trucks from Australia, and others. He also said they started in SC with 5 vehicles - now there is 12. There are tags from SC, GA, TX and AK. They are meeting "the Jeeps" in Canada...

    MVPA 2012 ALCAN Convoy sighting

    I don't know if this is in the right forum or not, but here goes. My Father in Law is in Wyoming on a business trip and just ran up on the ALCAN Convoy. They were stopped, so he stopped and talked to them for a minute and took some pics. He sent me this pic, and said he would send more when he...

    Official 2012 SS Ga Rally Info thread

    We rented the Cougar camper - near the lodge? - we'll have the m38a1 going back and forth. I think I'll bring the bcycles so we can tour around the place and get some of that (much needed) exercise!

    Official 2012 SS Ga Rally Info thread

    I'm in kind of the same shape - thats why I had to rent a camper. Need to get the Rv there along with the jeep on a trailer - wife won't drive the rv or pull a trailer (w/jeep). RV hitch isn't rated high enough to pull trailer w/ jeep. Only solution is to get a duece and put the jeep in the back...

    Official 2012 SS Ga Rally Info thread

    Yeah, I booked the Cougar camper for Fri and Sat night - the cabins are going pretty fast (the ones with bathrooms anyway).

    M38a1 Oil and Fluids

    Yeah, I was too - once I did it, I saw how easy it was.

    M38a1 Oil and Fluids

    For some reason, nobody serviced the front ales on these things! It's not really a hard or expensive job either. I'd much rather clean and grease them than have to replace the bearings!

    M38A1 engine noise

    Mine sounded like a rod knock - thought it was the exhaust at first, but traced it down to the generator vibrating on the motor mount. Turns out the belts I had on it were too long, causing the generator to touch the motor mount. Just a thought

    left front headlight burning out frequently

    Not a cheap thing either, at @ $35 a pop!

    left front headlight burning out frequently

    Not trying to hijack your thread - just a comment. I had (might still have) the same problem with my M38a1. I have gone through 1 new Wagner bulb and a used bulb on the same side (right), and the high beam on the left side on one bulb once. I have a new wiring harness installed. After the right...

    Mini GA rally?

    I voted yes before I looked up the location - 300 miles would be a little far for me. ****, the 200 miles to the official rally in October.

    New M38a1 for me

    Nice vehicle to start with! Looks really complete. How are the floors, fuel tank sump and rear panel?

    M38A1 saved from scrapyard

    Man, why would anybody scrap one that complete?

    Rapco Spray cans on Engine

    No experience with the 383, but the 24087 (Gilespie) holds up on an M38a1 engine.
