I could have sworn I have seen a picture here on SS of the Canadian MLVW that used a zinc plated (gold) cone shaped washer, bolted to the torque rod that was designed to serve the same purpose you're after, retaining the rod in the event of bushing failure. I just spent 30 minutes looking for...

If you're coming to the Ga Rally, I have 2 cages and I need to sell one. Really cheap. $50? I can get pictures today. I have never heard of a lock ring turning into shrapnel. If the ring isn't properly seated in the wheel groove or if the lip of the tire bead has an issue, when inflating...

Ok folks, I've received some feedback from Durhamtown concerning the prices they're going to charge us. I want to remind everyone that the rally will only take your money for two things: t-shirts and food at the MKT. No other money you spend goes to us. Any other money you spend goes to...

If you get to Sunday and attendees have not compensated you for fuel used, come find me and I'll make sure you're squared. :D

Yeah and I'm sending you a pm tonight about that and some embroidery questions. None yet. But give us enough time and Ferro will come up with a good idea. He keeps threatening to do some kind of Ga. Rally railroad but at this point, he might just be trolling us.

You guys were an enormous help last year with the Gator. BabyBear is the best runner/go-fer ever.

Let me talk to Al Harvey and see what we can put together. We've been kicking around the idea of doing some basic embroidery, like hats and maybe patches that people could put on field jackets and such. He has some capability and his stuff looks pretty good. I'll report back when I get...

And yes, we are going to have some great t-shirts for sale this year, like last year. T-shirt sales pay for the insurance policy that the rally now carries, so we definitely appreciate purchases. As soon as my buddy finishes the design, I'll post it here and if he gets it done soon enough...

Ok folks, the main information thread for the 16GMVR is up (http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthr...Oct-19-23-2016) and this thread is for buying/selling/trading. The idea behind this thread is simple.......... The GMVR is a huge event, drawing people in from all over the country. Maybe there's...

Ok folks, the main information thread for the 16GMVR is up (http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?156520-Official-2016-Ga-Military-Vehicle-Rally-info-thread-Oct-19-23-2016) and this thread is for volunters. We need volunteers for: Registration Tent: The RT staff assists rally attendees...

So this is a pretty big deal………………. This announcement marks a big anniversary…………….. 10 years of the Ga. Rally. How many of you can believe we've done this for 10 years? In 2006, the HMV hobby was growing fast. The govt. was surplussing a lot of M35A2s and CUCVs and this allowed a lot of...

I love the excavator as a lifting device.

I bought all of them at Napa. They're all standard straight hoses other than the lower. I trimmed a little off the lower and it fit fine. The Napa # is in the deuce civvy cross reference spreadsheet that's stickied at the top of this forum. I would do ALL the hoses. Every single one. Do it...

I'd be happy with hearing how you reset the positrac in anything. .......... Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk 2

This. A thousand times. We did this to a deuce. Started with a standard 6hp 60 gallon compressor. Quickly gave up and rented a trailer mounted diesel compressor. You need MAD volume to run a sandblaster.

If some of you are asking questions waiting for the OP (Santa) to answer, you will be waiting a while. Unfortunately Ernie passed away a couple years ago. If anyone else has done some of the mods he did, please feel free to continue this thread with your experiences. Thanks

Wanna' see a neat trick? Look at your pictures above............... see how the open end of the base is facing forward? Unbolt the base, flip it 180° so the closed end faces forward and not only does it bolt into all the existing holes in the floor, but it clears the master cylinder access...

Isn't that just the military's registration #? This article pertains to the M44 series trucks, but the description of the registration numbers is still valid for this discussion...

A. For the price, I don't think you can do better than Jatonka's boots. Sure, if you have some camvas laying around you can make them, but what's your time worth? B. Both sets I've bought had the rings, although I thought the rings weren't the best fit (but I've never had a truck that had an...
