I have one brand new axle clamp - got three with the tow bar that I bought a while back. Don't know what it's worth but it will fit inside of one of those large USPS Flat Rate Shipping Boxes.

Mike Hatfield lives in Georgia and is perfect for the job! Do a Youtube search under "Mike Hatfield - I made several videos of him making deliveries to my buddy Lavarok here in Florida. Mike is also a Steel Soldier member but I cannot remember his call sign. He is reasonable and reliable...

They release air when you finish making a turn.

Wreckerman893 I like the idea of using metal siding on this tent but I like the way it looks so much that I'll use the canvas that came with it until the sun wears it down or a hurricane blows it off. I flipped through the TM last night and it looks like I will really need to see each part...

This afternoon I got energetic and unloaded the crate from the trailer and opened it to see what I had. I am really impressed with what I see so far and I know it was worth all the trouble and expense to obtain this thing. The electrical panel alone is just so cool! The first bag I removed...

Good idea Walter and I will probably open the box and do just that. I saw somewhere that it takes six soldiers to move the canvas; fortunately I do have a floor crane so the heavy items like that will not be too much of a problem. I'll probably load most everything into my deuce for storage...

Thanks Ian! Glad you didn't bid on the tents because I know you would have won them all! Still contemplating where to put it and it is still on the trailer. I will take it off today and put dollies under the pallet so that I can roll it around the driveway and use it for a "workbench" until I...

Funny you should say that Gimpyrobb - she collects shoes!

I can't discuss prices because that would reveal my bidder number. They all went for under $3K. Considering that Uncle Sam paid over $16K for each of these I think I did well. If you try to get anything comparable in the civilian world the quality would come nowhere near what these are made of...

These things are big; 24 feet wide, 32 feet long and 15 feet high. It can easily accomodate a deuce or two cars side by side and it also has lighting and electrical outlets too. Well worth bidding on! I was lucky to have gotten one of the fifteen that were in the GL event. One person won five...

Just got back from Eglin with my 1744 pound crate with the tent inside. I'll post photos of the crate which Faye says looks like the box out of "Creep Show". I was really happy when I saw the box was "intact" with the original banding still in place. Somebody got the one that they had to open...

Anyone win any of the lightweight maintenance tents at Eglin yesterday? Interesting auction.

No Ian you can't have my spare M1008 bed to bob one of your deuces with.

We had a similar problem on the way home to Florida with an M1010 - turned out to be the bright/dim switch located halfway down the steerig column. I'll bet that's where you problem is. There's a cable that runs down to it from the lever that activates the switch. Look for a white switch - I...

Look for tents to be pulled too - needed in Haiti.

I have been trying to find a way to use my STE/ICE setup as a tachometer with no luck. The unit I bought looked like new but only provides error messages when plugged into the receptacle under the dash. I think mine needs a software upgrade because of the last date that it was calibrated -...

Thanks for the tip about the plywood Niferous. Right now the top is so tight the rain rolls off and does not pool - once the sun works on it I am sure it will stretch and sag a bit. I used to put shower curtain rods in the bed of my truck - about four of them that pushed the cover up to a peak...

I did get mine from CUCVFAN and they are really nice! Very tight fitting covers that work your hands pretty hard during installation. I used bungee cords to pull tension on the grommets so that I could get each of them into place and still have to deal with the ones on the front as yet...

Thanks Ian! Now I need to get the lift kit installed and I'll be set for life!

Just installed my new M1008 CUCV cargo cover that I bought from a fellow SteelSoldiers member and it fits like it should; previously I had an M880 cargo cover on the truck but it never fit properly. Some photos of what I have accomplished so far will follow. The weather was almost right for...
