Yep, would love to have the "local" MKT as it will keep me from having to haul mine up. I'll be using my hog cooker on Saturday (we are having Eastern NC BBQ with fixen's that night) and it looks like we will be having live music on Saturday night as well... The water truck has a 2" Pacer...

Hmmm, we can convoy up from Raleigh. :) I'll be headed up a day early, but I'd be glad to lead the way (and to have you guys around for some set up help...). Should be cabins available. Earlier you make a reservation, the better your selection... (they are all different...). Give the...

I'll second that Berg is the place. Great folks to deal with, super prices, and a great selection of tires. I'm swapping out the Titan 1100x20 NDT's from my two five tons this week with new rubber from Berg and couldn't be happier with the price or condition (brand new) of the new tires.

Great to see that we have a few more folks just down the road. :) I'll be posting up the dates that Maddawg or I (or both) will be at the farm working on trails and such in case anyone wants to drop by for a preview of the place and to help out. I'll have a webpage up, flyer, and...

Sent you a note. Met up with the folks and Maddawg this past weekend to work on plans for the rally and to ride around the property so that we could scope out what we need to do (trail maintenance, etc.) before September. Details to follow...

Mine is made out of an old 250 gallon oil tank... Photos show it in use at Aberdeen a couple of years ago when I cooked a hog for the East Coast Convoy participants... Didn't use a military trailer for the running gear/frame although I am thinking of it for my next cooker... I did tow this...

An M37 is a great first MV...especially for a father son project. Big enough to be useful, small enough to go up trails, down the road, into the garage, and into a parking space at school... Lots of parts available, lots of info and help available as well... In addition to what is here...

Shipping would be a pain unless you can wait until the Aberdeen Rally in May and pick it up there or have a buddy snag one for you, but I have a M416 frame sitting in my backyard in Raleigh, NC, that is looking for a home. Not perfect, but not bad (some surface rust, seems straight and...

As mentioned, there are several threads concerning these trailers on this site (or the older version of it) with a few sporting photos including some of my trailer. However, if you don't want to search, here is the link to a page on my site showing my M104 back when I first got it (need to take...

Campers are fine. The field that we will be useing as "homebase" is the same one that we put campers in for the annual Festival of Music (Bluegrass Festival)... Bring your campers, semi's, horse trailers, whatever...

I need the shelter halves (and the laundry bags) for the canvas... Going to cut them down and restich them into seat covers and other usefull items...

We have A/C in the cabins as well as in the motel units and in the main lodge (resturant/office/meeting rooms). I actually can't make a reservation at any of the Lodge facilities until March 20th, and to be honest, it would be easier and better if you did it yourself... Especially since the...

Please do! Unless, of course, I manage to remember to swing by in the next few weeks on my way to or from visiting the folks and meeting with Maddawg about the rally...

You can get correct oil pressure sending units from Star Electric, Midwest Military, ACE Surplus (Sid Beck), Saturn Surplus, and ABLinn. I know that several of the dealers out there have the early ones set up for the metal wiring harness connectors, some only have the rubber ones, but you can...

Yep... It is... :)

Not only will we be posting (either as part of this thread or in some new ones) more info as we get things settled, but I will set up a webpage with consolidated info (for ease in printing out for reference). I'll be meeting with the folks in a couple of weeks and hope to get Mike over while...

The farm/lodge has plenty to do both on site and nearby for folks that need a break from MV's... So, from a familly standpoint, it is a great place to have a familly vacation even if the rest of the gang isn't as into the MV's, then again, the rally itself (and all of them that I have been to...

I just picked up a bunch of Michelin 1100r20 XL's from Berg in Fayetteville, NC. You have to check often with them as they do not stay in inventory long... :) They also get in Goodyear G177 fairly often, they don't stay in the warehouse long either. I looked at a M109 that came out of GA...

I need to update my page on the tanker that I put together for use on the farm, but you can see what it looks like at: http://www.garbee.net/~cabell/m35pages/m35photos5.htm Bassically, its a M35A2 with a 1025 gallon polly tank with a Pacer 2.5" pump for drafting water out of the river that...

Yep, I have heard of trucks with the VIN on the passenger side before. Conversations on the BigElectric/G741 site never seemed conclusive as to why, but were pretty conclusive that it was a small number compared to the overall production run (for all varients). Is your truck a stock M37 or...
