I am at Home Depot after reading all about the Behr paint jobs and I showed the paint lady my code and she asked how old it was. I said I thought maybe a year. She said their colorants have changed and are stronger and it would be easier to color match. Does anybody know if this code is...

Cool, I didn't talk to him much, I wonder if he is keeping it? I heard there was a "military deuce" at veisha, maybe that was him. It's funny how small it makes the little 2 1/2 ton look.

Yeah, this was actually the first time we used the winch with a load. Definitely need to get some safety gear. The 818 got stuck in the ditch about 200' back and dug it out the whole way.

I figured I should post this up It was pretty impressive to watch. It was during a mud road rally in Iowa. The guy in the m818 bought it just for the event with plans to sell it afterwards. Worn out tires didn't help but it was still fun to watch. The deuce is my dad's and had no trouble and was...

I want to see a video of that.

Also check gsaauctions.gov They occasionally have deuces up in ames, but most are not in great shape. We keep a deuce in storage in west des Moines. Way easier than dealing with the snobby neighbors, and this is in des Moines. GL is easy once you figure it out, but a bit of a pain. Gsa is a...

There are at least a couple of us in the des Moines area. Are you having any problems or anything specific you want done? One of the members in ankeny , Milkman357 has a guy that has done some drivetrain work for him but not sure about electrical. My next projects are a rear main seal and...

Looks good. Did you put new springs front and rear? What brand did you go with?

The modulator plugs right in. There isn't really a wrong way to do it. It would not stop you from having forward gears. Did a little rod fall out when you took the modulator off? there should be one inside the hole where it plugs in.

Those look like MRAP seats. I was thinking about buying some from a member on here a while ago. I thought they would be pretty cool.

Wow, that makes me want to go out and grease my hubs.

Hey CROM, If you need any help when you go get it let me know. I am in Des Moines on the west side and might be able to help. I have tools and a towbar. A fellow SS member and I were towing a scrap m1009 when the pass front caliper seized, we just cut the brake line and it eventually freed...

Good to see another guy from Des Moines on here. And dragonman up in Mason City. There are a few of us around des moines that like to play with mv's if you ever want to join. I have 33x12.50s on my M1009. I tried 35s and they were too big without lifting. You would need a lot of trimming.

I got some 33x12.50s before they stopped selling them. I have had them for 2 years now and around 10-15k miles. I have had no issues with separation and not even a flat. At the time I got them I worked at a tire shop and they didn't take an excessive amount of weight to balance and I have been...

That one is in pretty good shape. We have an air force 76 J20. Not too much extra equipment, but I like the looks of the winch bumpers.

Looking forward to it. [thumbzup]

When I got my m1009 the crank would just spin and catch the gears every once in a while. I ended up ordering a whole new mechanism from LMC for around $110. Mine is not the locking type though. I do have an extra regulator if you need one or parts. The only k5s in the junkyards I have found...

I would just like to see what goes on at these things, maybe get a table next time there is a MV show near here. We will probably bring along some stuff just in case and maybe walk around with a towbar or cables to sell :-D like you can at the gun shows. Maybe we can trade for something cool...

Does the odometer still work? If it does, It could possible have a bad spring in the speedometer. Mine went out and I eventually took it apart to replace it and there is a spring coiled up around the needle shaft behind the face plate. One end should be glued down and mine came off. It...

Camp Dodge is pretty close to me. I got a M101A2 from there 2 years ago and it was in great shape. These looked like fresh paint and everything. My dad won an ammo trailer from that sale, Hopefully it is a good one too.
