    What did you do to your trailer today.

    This months American Hunter magazine (NRA) has an article about "base camp" trailers. Everything from a fancy mobile tent to Airstreams model. Prices were crazy and most were dumbed down versions of a travel trailer. Nothing with any real strength to really handle off-road. All were billed...

    Calling all Generator Owners

    Red River Army Depot

    As much as I wanted to, I never got out of truck until at pickup point. There was some military equipment I had never seen before and couldn't tell it's intended use. I wanted to get out and go look at the data plate, but knowing my luck, a MP/RRPD would drive around the corner just as I was...

    Red River Army Depot

    Roads probably open now. Was very close when we were there. We could have driven around all day just gawking at all the cool and unusual equipment and not pass anything twice. From the Army bridgeing boats to the self-contained dump beds. Definitely Candyland

    Buying New Injectors. Delphi or Bosch?

    I've had excellent results with other Delphi products. After looking at them in person and holding them, I can tell that it's a very high quality product. I'll take the $100 I saved by not getting the Bosch's and buy something nice for my wife. I have read here on SS that new injectors...

    1985 Chevrolet CUCV M1028

    Wow Took a great looking truck and made it look like &($;$@!! Always amazes me how guys think that actually improves the truck. Made it ugly and devalued it. What a tool for doing that.

    Disaster generators

    Like mentioned, they need to meet it as it arrives if at all possible. That will be one super hot commodity and will have lots of eyes and sticky fingers on it. Agree wirh the Honda sets. Too late in the season for a big mil unit. Authorities might even confiscate it for their own use. I've...

    M1009 Old Front Springs - Droop (What should it look like new?)

    These are definitely worth something and unmolested ones will continue to rise in value. They only built a certain amount of these and aren't being made anymore. More are disappearing every day. I personally can't stand lift kits. That's just me. But to see a rare (ish) truck get lifited...

    M101A2 surge brake question

    Good luck on the hand brake levers. Very difficult to find and pricey when you do. Most cables on eBay are the wrong ones, yet say they are for the M101A2/3. Surplus parts for these trailers are scarce.

    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    Fired up new MH bulbs. HUGE Difference! Nice bright white light. Colors look like their supposed to. iphone camera just can't convey just how bright it is and how far they can throw the light. Extremely pleased!! The tower could've been raised at least another two feet. I didn't see the...

    Any quality diesel fuel system cleaners?

    Jet A-1 is the civilian aviation fuel. Low flash point, evaporates fairly quickly, smells strong for a bit and burns very nice in Diesels. Still dry as already noted. Freezes at -75 below if I remember correctly. JP-8 is the fuel the US Military uses. British forces also. It is oily to the...

    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    I am extremely pleased with it. Will be getting another one for sure. Everyone who has seen it in person wants one. They can't believe how nice it is inside. When they discover the Kohler/Kubota combo they want to know where to get one. Definitely scored with this! GovPlanet has only sold 25...
