In TX everything is relative when talking size or distance. He's closer to me than Houston or Dallas but not close enough to meet for lunch (unless we left about breakfast time). After 5 years of drought we'll take the rain but it'd be nice to spread it out a little. All the roads into our...

We've gotten 5.5" of rain since Thursday so no chance to do any more tinkering on the Goat. The next big project is redoing the turn signals once I've got all the pieces together.

My vehicles have all had bumper numbers painted on them. Some were there when I bought them, some were units I used to belong to (whether still active or not) and the wife's IDF M37 will have Israeli markings on it as soon as I can find someone to paint them on. I believe I would have politely...

This is what mine looked like on Feb 4 of this year and what it looked like on Apr 15. It's not the best example of a M561 in the world but the best one at my house. And this is the long version of those pics if interested...

One too many refreshments while basking in the glow of your accomplishment? Do the write up THEN start drinking.

Depends on your state but TX will allow you to get a 30 day temporary tag while you're waiting for your paperwork and an insurance company will sell you a policy on an untitled vehicle (heck they'd sell you a policy on one of my vehicles). I've picked up many GL vehicles that way. To the OP...

I try to keep my Steel Soldier's nuts out of hot water no matter what their metallurgy.

Don't know about everyone else but I try and keep mine out of hot water as much as possible.

Isn't that painful?

Just doing some web surfing on the Goat and came across a document by the NJ State Forestry Dept and thought this conclusion of theirs was fairly accurate: Summary of Advantages: Summary of Disadvantages: High ground clearance (15 inches)...

I've got a friend pulling everything out of a M35 he's parting so hopefully covered. Worst case scenario Erik's has new wands and flasher units for $48 each. I think the hard part to find would be the wire loom between them. The shackles and pins aren't that big a priority just whenever you...

So is the old flasher unit integrated in the Distribution Box? The TM goes through which wires to disconnect and reconnect to the new flasher unit but doesn't really go in to much detail regarding the stock unit. Here's a couple of pics of what I found when I opened the panel. I said there...

I missed one last weekend. A friend bought 2 at a military surplus (mostly milspec tools) shop but he sold the 2nd one before I talked to him. I believe I know someone that was parting a deuce out and he may still have the flasher, wand, and loom.

I don't know anything about the unit. I just Googled "M561 with 454" and it popped up. That is the stock bumper but don't be fooled into thinking it's as strong as a piece of train track. The TM advises not to try and tow by that as it's not strong enough to hold but to make sure and use the...

Do you know what the replacement for it is? Soldier B got home from work this evening and kept a watch while I tried the brakes. Nothing. I hate electrical issues. Can't be too many grounds with an aluminum vehicle so hopefully I can chase them all down and clean them.

Yes

Now that the 2 big events are over for the year I figured I could move back into the "slow as she goes" repairs. I'd like to have everything street ready by the time I get back with the wheels/tires at the end of June so that means getting all the lights up and working. Right now the...

Welcome. No idea on the trailer but please put a state for your location.

This wouldn't happen to be the one you're looking at, would it?
