Finally hooked up the M149A2 and gave it a bath. Sitting under trees made it nasty.
Then drove around for an hour to heat up the tires.
Tank was empty.
CUCV is looking rough.
Mechanically it’s fantastic and extremely reliable.
Maybe time for a paint job.
It’s Desert Storm service is peeking...
I'm a little surprised you didn't use AN fittings (Aeroquip) and braided line considering the funds spent on the project already.
Looks great regardless!
I have that filter setup on several things around the ranch and it works well.
Plastic doesn't discolor over time and can tell at a glance if...

Thanks

A Steel Soldiers member reached out with a trailer offer.
Great price!
It’s a LTT/TQG 1-1/2 ton (PU-798A) made for the 802A/803A.
Aluminum trailer so no rust
It’s a bit of a drive to get it but my wife and I are going to make a road trip out of it and enjoy seeing some new...
Appreciate the compliment.
I love my MEP-002A.
It’s not going anywhere.
