    San Antonio, TX Monthly MV get together!!

    David won 1st and 2nd with the M38 and LandRover (not sure which won which) and Juli came in 3rd with the M37. Lots of fun but a looooong day.

    Well it'd be nice if they started showing what they have. Less than a month out and nothing to look at yet.

    M37 Engine is running

    That's an awful purdy engine. Makes mine look like a dog (3 legged, one eyed, broken tailed dog at that).

    Of course if you can't pay your VISA bill you just get dinged on your credit report. If you can't pay your HELOC they foreclose on your house.

    Folks should review their "Iron Clad Guarantee" also. It's great that they inspect the vehicle and all but looks like if you try and hold them to it there is a $750 deductible. Can't really tell if that applies if you don't take posession due to an issue or if it applies to you trying to get...

    Hi from Texas

    San Antonio, TX Monthly MV get together!!

    Good chance I can make the UC parade now. Just finished with the troop seats in the M37 so can haul vets too. Having a leaky wheel cylinder issue on the deuce that I have to try and get figured out before Sunday. I will have the 37 and 1009 there without a doubt just worried about stopping...

    Working on the M37

    Wife has an online class tonight so I went back out to the shop to work on HER truck. I got the bottom and sides of the slats painted with 2 coats and once they had set up enough to touch I bolted them back in place and got 1 coat on the top. I'm going to let that dry completely then add at...

    Working on the M37

    Knocked the sharp corners off the wood today with the router, lightly sanded everything and started painting. I thought the 2 year old quart of paint left over from the original spray job would work fine as it looked good when I opened the can and stirred it up. I got 1 side halfway painted...

    Working on the M37

    They'll have to lean against the bed and wave. I'm not running an Uber service after all.

    Working on the M37

    Wow! Hard to believe it's been over 3 years since we started on this project. What isn't hard to believe is that it still isn't completed yet. While I've taken a 2 year hiatus from actually working on the truck it has made numerous outings to include parades and shows. Unfortunately for the...

    Ring Mount Information Needed

    Anyone planning on installing one of these should really add the cab reinforcement panel. I still have several left for $80 + shipping.

    Possible M151 Purchase

    Emailed the guy with my number and said I would take them sight unseen. Eight hours later he said he tried to call me (no missed calls on my phone) and then sold them when I didn't answer. My guess is he decided he was selling them too cheap and just pulled them. Oh well. Still have room in...

    Possible M151 Purchase

    No typo. The M37 is HERs and she tends to keep it under guard. I'm not sure I'll be allowed to play with something else in the shop.

    Possible M151 Purchase

    Enough to take care of a carb issue. My concern would be the underside of the body and having to replace any of the braces/channeling. I've convinced myself I can tinker with the runner to play with for now while I disassemble the other one for restoration. I'm sure the wife won't mind me...

    Possible M151 Purchase

    I'm trying to decide whether to purchase a new project. There are 2 M151A1s, a driver with carb problems and a parts vehicle. Both are missing the windshield assemblies. They appear to be "deer lease" type vehicles and doubt they've been driven on the road since they were surplused. I...

    Not shifting - Time to call a tow truck?

    If it turns out to be a bad tranny PM TexAndy. He just bought a lot full of rebuilds off GL recently.

    Just got an email from Military Trader with a posting by IronPlanet looking for Territory Point of Contact employees, full and part time. Hopefully they don't pull too many from GL or we'll be back to some of the same issues we're having now.

    I think he was refering to the more money surplus brings the more money will be returned to the general fund (government property being sold means the government getting that money). My point was it doesn't matter if they were getting a little from GL or a lot from GovPlanet that they're going...

    I'd like to think it'd trickle back down to us, the taxpayer, but know, to them, it's like you or me finding a $20 bill on the sidewalk. You just stick it in your pocket to spend since it's not really anyone else's money.
