    Deuce Flat Towing/Recovery Questions...

    These are some great helps for safely towing a deuce with a second one. I have one question on the wiring together of the brake lights. Does it have to go from the trailer receptacle on the tow vehicle to the trailer receptacle on the towed vehicle or could you go from the trailer receptacle...

    2009 GA Rally-trader on line

    Can always use new tires if the price is right. My tire shop quoted me $150 each retail.

    Fliegertreffen Hahnweide 2009

    Mark, Thanks for the pictures. The planes are great and the scenery brings back memories of the three years I spent in Boeblingen back in the 80s.

    Road trip to Alaska

    I have looked at doing a drive up there and found that the last part of the road is private and you have to get permission ahead of time to travel the last section. I mapped it out to do it in a jeep and it came out just over 11,000 miles round trip. That was starting in Tampa and going to Key...

    M-105 9.00x20 tire question

    Getting them out of the bed of a deuce or trailer is an interesting job by your self as well. I have moved a few of them and used to slide them out of the bed and let them bounce a bit as I got control on them like you would do for a car tire. Stopped doing that when one of them bounced a bit...

    RIMVCC Quonset, RI Aug 30 Status?

    I have a picture somewhere of me and friends in one of the air sea rescue helicopters there from 1969. We lived on Happy Rd North Kingstown while dad was an adviser to the Mass NG at Fort Devans and then when he went to Viet Nam. Will have to find that and post.

    Questions about M-116A2 Trailer chassis

    That sounds like a fair price. You could get an idea by watching some go at auction then adjusting the price to account for the fact that the trailer is where you live, already titled and that you can make sure everything works before sending money.

    Need parts for PV 2 Harpoon

    EZ, Kermit's place is just down the interstate from me in Tampa and I get over by it a couple of times a month. If he has what you need I am happy to volunteer to pick it up and pass it on to you. That is a beautiful airplane and am happy to lend any help. Kermit does have an entire section...

    m109a3

    If you plan to use the rear area much check the roof for rusted through spots. A quick way to tell of you have a rust issue is to look at the bottom of the panels inside the shop. If you have had water leaking into the box for an extended period of time it will rust through at the bottom. A...

    M52A2 trip to FL to its new home

    Bring plenty of water or gatorade to drink and if you can a couple of different types of hearing protection because I find after four or five hours that one type gets irritating and I switch them around.

    Double Towing?

    The Scion cars are fairly small tC is 174" long with a wheelbase of 106", xD 155" Long and 97" w/b, xB 167" long and 103" w/b. None of them are over 70" wide so if you can find a way to back it in the deuce bed they should fit and the weight is low enough that you could carry them in the 105 so...

    Where are you staying for the 09 GA Rally

    I think I captured the folks who listed cabin reservations for the Georgia Rally on this map. Scanned it and hope that it will be able to size large enough here to read. If it does I can update this with any names I missed so we can have a map of who is where. Just received confirmation from...

    Where are you staying for the 09 GA Rally

    I am planning on camping in the M109 and bringing extra gear in the trailer. Wish there was a nice lake and I would bring the kayaks and fishing poles. Looking forward to the pre-rally at Vinny's. Will bring silver bullets for tea and bug juice. Trying to brew up a couple of batches of O.D...
