I picked up one recently for a fellow member. It towed nicely, had some nice features...had some things that I didn't like about it (small, but looked like a committee had designed it and not totally thought about how it would actually be used...). Unless I had a HMMWV, I wouldn't purchase...

Real close... Have to hitch the XM708 to the XM813 for the ride up, put enough fuel in the tanks to get me there (remember, that you need to get fuel before you get to the rally site since we no longer have public pumps in Syria (nearest gas/fuel is in the town of Madison...), and take a...

Thanks! MichiganDon and I plan to be running up that section of road Thursday morning... We are pulling out of West Raleigh at 0600...

Thanks for posting the updates... Hopefully, I'll get a chance to welcome them back to NC soon... :)

From a portability standpoint, a MEP-016D will fit between the rear seat and back doors on a Suburban... :) Just in case you want to haul it somewhere when you are not in a MV... I really like mine and agree with all of your point, including the Honda bit... I also have three MEP-701a's...

Wonderful! Now you'll have something to put on the pintle for the convoy up to Graves Mountain at the end of the month... :wink: Seriously, it's good to hear that the recovery went smoothly. [thumbzup]

I am also shocked...and I spent the weekend in a daze as well... Way too young... I first met John in '97 at the gun show in Raleigh (Charles Talbert at M-Series Rebuild had called to tell me that he was meeting John at the show and that I should ride over in my new M37 to show it to...

Hmmm, it seems that we have two threads for the same event... :) Anyway, the most up to date info on what is happening is located on the thread at: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/steel-soldiers-rally/86219-va-rally.html Hope to see a bunch of you in the beautiful VA mountains next month...

Welcome! I'll mention (in addition to saying that the VA Rally is comming soon and will be a lot of fun and you'll get a chance to check out the action in the cool mountains...) that my old (well, it's an '83 so it's not that old...) M35A2C is up for sale again. It was a great running tuck...

Good news! Chuck has finished the t-shirt design! They will be available at the event for the same low, low, price of $10 each... :) There is a space on the registration form (hint, hint) for you to indicate how many, and what sizes, that you want.... We've also got the prizes lined up...

The three fields that I currently have "open" for us to use for camping total about 250 acres... I also have no problem telling somebody to turn off a loud generator at night (even the folks over the fence in the "horse" field...). Those that want a quiet evening after a long day of...

JSF01: Actually, we also have some trails that are down by the riverside (pretty flat) and a couple that run along the ridge or through the orchards that don't require much skill or teeth clenching. We also have some great trail guides (Steve, Laura, and the gang from the Lost Jeepers) who...

I don't have a running tally of members who are going... For planning purposes (Saturday's BBQ), I don't really count folks until I get a registration form from them... That said, you can count up the folks who have responded to this post, add about a dozen members of the Lost Jeepers 4x4...

Same engine...

True, but I always find it a LOT easier to put the belts on and get everything tensioned without having the fan on... I always hold me breath when rotating that water pump to get the belts tight... ;)

For a NHC250 in a XM813, M817, or M816, or other M809 series truck... Car Quest TR22425 Napa 2522425 Waterpump (1) belt Car Quest 13A11p5 Napa 259470 Powersteering (2) belts Car Quest TR22401 Napa 2522401 Main Drive (2) belts Car Quest 11A0915 Napa 257360 Generator (2) belts Remove the...

I should add, sine Madawg308 mentions it, that when flat towing M37's, I've either had front lockout hubs or have pulled the front driveshaft. I'll also toss in the reminder to have good safety chains and a towing vehicle that can handle the 6,000lbs (roughly) that a M37 is (you have to be able...

If you have the driveshaft dropped, and the seals, bearings, etc. are as good as you say (and the tires are ok), you will be fine. I have flat towed a M37 accross multiple states at higher speeds without any troubles. I have routinely driven my M37 (the one with the Cummins, overdrive...

I have a friend who drives the same M37 today that he drove in the early to mid '70's when he as in the MDANG... I ran into a guy a couple of years ago who had driven my M35A2C while in the USAF in South Carolina... (I sold that truck...). In both cases, I can see them hanging on to the...

Not sure that we will be at that point by the time the rally is held... We (ok, the dude in Steve and Laura's Jeep club who does this for a living) are working on getting all the trails GPS'ed and mapped with the trailes put on a map. Then, I want to put a copy of the map on the website with...
