    Split Ring Tire Change

    Technically speaking, you have a wheel that has a "lock ring" on it, not one with a "split ring"... I know, it is real nitpicky, but it does make a difference sometimes when you make the call to the truck tire or agg tire place asking for help... Meanwhile, I find that a standard sledge with...

    M101 and the surge brake.

    You will not have a problem getting the trailer registered in NC... You will have to have your paperwork in order, but they will not worry about the brakes, etc. If you have any specific questions about registration, tags, etc., PM me (or send me an email) as I have the big DMV book on my...

    So it begins but never ends???

    Bill, you get tired of playing with the small stuff, come on up to NC and I'll let you work on my five tons... I am sooo far behind on painting stuff it is unreal... It looks really nice... I still hate that you sold your M37 just before I was able to get mine on the road. Think how...

    The Bigg Green Triple AAA rides again

    Nah... Doc was making sure that the cook was well taken care of... You know, making sure that we had a sufficient supply of sugar for the grits (Who knew I needed sugar for grits??? salt/pepper/butter/shrimp/cheese are my usual toppings...) and that I got a lesson in cake decorating...

    EUC on M101A2

    Good looking trailer, and good to hear that the folks at Battle Creek are getting the job done in a timely manner... Now, in my case, I have two trailers (also M101A2's) sitting at Bragg waiting for my EUC to clear... In the past, it has taken from one to three weeks for my EUC to clear once...

    Wc/m37 brakes

    The M101 is the 3/4 ton cargo trailer. There is a Canadian M101 that is actually a 1/4 ton trailer that is very similar to the M416, but you don't see them that often in CONUS, and when somebody talks about them, they usually note that it is the little Canadian trailer (they have to I suspect...

    XL's on the 813A1

    I like the looks of the and rims with the tan top, nice two tone action... I also like the ride of the XL's and have them on my XM813, M817, and will be putting them on my M816. I run a similar version on my Cummins powered M37 (use the 900r16XZL's on it...) They are really nice both on and...

    Wc/m37 brakes

    I don't have the NSN numbers handy, but I do know that the M101 and M101A1 use the same brake backing plate, shoes, ect., as a M37... Actuation is mechanical (parking brake use only) instead of hydraulic, but the parts you want to swap are the same. Bearings and seals in the M101, M101A1 are the...

    upper Michigan to NC..

    Don't know of anything that I need shipped that you can help with, but do post up what the actual dates are when you make your run and I'll see if I can't swing by Bragg that day to help you load if needed, or to just help you waste some time... :)

    2010 Haspin Multimedia Thread

    I got in at Midnight... It's a LONG drive from my place, but worth every minute of it for the fellowship, and for the time out on the trails. I'll point out that while I managed to talk Doc into sticking his CUCV a couple of times, while I was behind the wheel of Gimp's truck, it kept it...

    A3 TMs

    I have a cd with the A3 manuals on it... They are not in a format that can be easily posted as the cd is actually a ETM. PM me your address and I can send you a copy when I get back from Haspin if no-one else can get you a copy sooner.

    I'm planning on 50 so that we can take care of any drop in's... so if you haven't signed up yet and manage to swing by, you can still eat... I'll have grits, and plenty of pork products and eggs and pancakes to get you going in the morning...and plenty of other stuff later on to keep you...

    Official 2010 haspin info thread

    I think that I will just start calling her with the event and route schedules in the future...that way, you can stop worrying and can just show up... :) I'll remind her about the GML MV Trailrides and Rally (the VA Labor Day weekend event) while at Haspin... See you Tuesday night late at the...

    2010 Haspin rally BS thread

    I haven't unloaded the truck from Aberdeen, so all the stuff that I didn't sell there will be available... I'll dig up my list and will have it with me so that we won't have to open every medical chest to find something... The list is over on the Aberdeen thread... The big thing that I am...

    Well,I got another M172A1 trailer

    Aren't you glad that a little birdie told you that it was up for sale... :) Glad that you got it and that it is in better shape than you expected. That M915A1 looks a lot better with something on the fifth wheel.

    Don't bring your AARP card on my account... I'll be making my final food prep and purchase on Monday evening, so there is still time to make up your mind if you are on the fence. I'm working at my Godparent's bluegrass festival and only have limited access to the net (middle of the night) and...

    2010 haspin food

    I suspect that I will cook the shrimp seperately, not exactly the same tast, but I don't think it will make a huge difference, and it will be easier than jugling the pot/timing to pull some out and then do the shimp the big pot. Westy's wife has voluntered to do some of her WI style mashed...

    2010 haspin food

    Forgot to say that, just as last year, I'll need a bunch of folks to opt in on this or it doesn't make sense for me to haul out the gear and cook.... I also need a rough body count by May 31st so I can place some food orders.
