I am rested and back in the office so I can post some pictures of the new shop van and the loaded rental car for the trip from Atlanta to Indianapolis. Looks like some minor work and paint is all that it needs.
Finally have my shop van home and have had a chance to take a good look. I am going to need some parts for the rear compartment and wondered if anyone has a rear section that they are not using and want to sell some of the smaller parts. Looking for things like the blue glass covers for the...
RE: M109
Kenny,
Any time you are in the area let me know. I am planning to keep the exterior stock military but the rear shop is going to get set up for my son and I to camp in it for scouts. My wife has family out West of you about 20 miles so I may bring it down there for fun.
RE: Re: RE: New guy from Florida
Welcome to the group! I am in the Oldsmar area so not far from you. When you do up the car you should do the interior in green canvas. One of the members in Gainesville has surplus shelter halves and you could make new seats covers out of those for the...
RE: M109
One quick thing, was trying to stay off the phone as I only brought the car charger and that as we know is not worth a lot in a deuce. Thanks to Joe for giving me some advice on my one call and it was good to know that there are folks out there that were willing to help if I had a...
RE: M109
Home Again! After four solid days in the car me and the deuce are home. Left Tampa Saturday morning and headed north with a quick stop in Gainesville to pick up spare tires and get a look at Steve's deuce and then off to Atlanta. Caught torrential rains and construction for a good...
For this trip boring will equate to no "Oh God, oh God we're going to die!" kind of moments. Have a plan to make a quick stop in Loretto, KY on the trip to visit a barrel of bourbon with my name on it. I am taking some of my vacation and getting out of the house for this trip. My wife keeps...
I am spending a few extra dollars on my truck that I plan to drive home. I am having it inspected and serviced by a commercial fleet management company before I drive her home from Indianapolis. I will still take a look at everything myself but I want a trained professional to look as well. I...
I am driving up as I am picking up some spare tires and shuttling some cylinder heads from Atlanta. Seems that there are a lot of rental cars in Florida that need to go north right now. Full size SUV rental from Tampa to Indy is $16/day for a one way trip. I am coming right through Cincinnati...
It is great to live in Florida some days, and not just because it is almost 70 outside :D .I am getting ready to pick up my M109 from Indianapolis and will drive it down to Florida. I have a trucking company in Indy doing a fluid change and general PMCS / safety check on the vehicle. I will...
Our local ANG unit has them on all of their vehicles. Good friend of mine is in the unit and says they work well. Wonder if they will leave them on when their deuces go up for sale? I am keeping some change in the bank for when they do hit GL. They have one that the put all new tires on one...
I know that keeping it legal for all of us to own our MVs is important and here are some folks who should understand. These are veterans who are working together to get elected to Congress from all over the country. They want the government to support the troops and the veterans. I have been...
I will take a half dozen of those if yo decide to sell some. Enough to make two tents and then misc. uses. Show the kids how we used to go to the field.
Please do not remind me of the mud in Germany. I spent to many days on wash racks cleaning off mud from Grafenwoehr an Hohenfels. It is the only stuff I have met to give good Georgia red clay a run for its money.
Good luck to everyone heading for the rally. If you are moving through the Tampa area going to or from the rally and need any help that can be done without a deuce give me a ring and I will try to help. Cell number is (813) 695-5889. I can always shuttle fuel, parts and people. I wish that I...
