I'm in the time machine.....responding to old threads that may / may not have members here anymore......anyway....the 5 digit mystery number "14352" is most likely the unit's RUC number that is a unit identifier.

Ohhhh heck yeah! Put a pintle hook on the back and a some black out lights on the front and nobody would even know.....maybe a ray gun in the turret and a fake flux capacitor just to make other guys drool more.

Mine's an A2, had to trim the insides of the wheel wells just like you said.

Just my 2 cents worth, I'm not a painter, just a guy that wanted to save 2 grand from having another guy paint my Gama Goat. I used Gillespie like I have had done to my other vehicles. I bought 4 gallons thinking I should have enough to go over the old faded 3 color camo. I was surprised that...

I'm in The People's Republic of Colorado, I use Hagerty and also have to garage all of my vehicles, but I also would anyway. We live in hail alley and always get hail all around us, also the summers and winters tend to be brutal and really beat up anything left outside for long. I put in way...

Wait for a real bad stretch of bad weather and get on the internet and start looking for things you have no need for but always wanted one anyway.....they just kind of pop up like magic !!

With warmer weather and now when it's not too hot or raining I've been getting a little done here, a little done there....finally today on our Independence Day, I am finished with everything I was wanting done. A few new parts, stripped it down, new paint and markings, DONE!

If we were closer to each other I would heading that way now......unfortunately I'm a long haul away.

The legislature from what I was told was working under dire circumstances this session due to the "Chi-Com Flu" restrictions, they were only going to deal with "emergency situations and health related stuff" to take care of us all with social distance, remote working, etc. The very first thing...

Very forward thinking and correct......it took Colorado 1 year to no loner register historic military vehicles as street legal.....a few guys have managed to dodge the "offroad" lable and keep driving, but I imagine some troll is out there working from his moms garage I type trying to figure out...

Spent the day tinkering on my Goat that has been sitting idle thru the winter. Crawled under the dash (no easy task for a 6-4, 250 (goal weight) guy) to wrestle the winch shaft onto the PTO......where are all the Leprechauns with 8 arms when you need them? Soon to get after the NOS heater...

Warmer weather and less wind has allowed me to get a few items taken care of. Had the wheel wells widened on my M116 trailer and a bunch of holes welded shut. Side rails, old data plates and unused rear winch mount removed from the mule, both almost ready for sand blasting and then new paint...

Not sure about your local laws out there, but in a similar situation in Colorado you can call it a "homemade trailer". You fill out some paperwork stating how you made it; where you bought the parts or had parts, the county assigns you a VIN, you get the VIN signed off by the State Troopers VIN...

I didn't see any special hardware mounted in the gliders or wheel barrows parked around outside of them from al the gear they would have needed to carry their nads around. All that they had to go thru and were going to go thru and oh yeah.....didn't they get a whole $50 a month more???

Is the term "slipping"? Or am I having flashbacks to shoveling the deck the other day?

Many many moons ago I was at 29 Palms and remember when the Marine Corps picked up their first 2 M60's, 2 of them came in on flatbed rail cars just before the weekend so they sat on a spur with a guard detail around them all weekend so nobody would crawl all over them. As far as targets ago...

I know it's an old thread, but I like going back thru all the old posts as there is always something to learn. I have owned my Mule for @ a month now, I also got an M116 trailer as my hauler and am looking for ramps like yours.....yours's looks exactly what I have planned!!

Every time I see anything about 8" artillery I get all misty eyed, I was an 8" artillery guy for a long time after we retubed our 175's to 8"....8" is a beast.

No work done on it yet, but have checked a little more and found out it's a 69' not a 67', I found a helpful group of folks on FB, put me in touch with a gentleman who hooked me up with what parts I was looking for and those parts are starting to arrive. I also located and bought an M116...
