    Spring AROKMOTXKS rally

    RE: Re: sleeper Let's generate a list of members by state. Here is what I saw on the map for N. Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. I'll update the list as we go and try to get a yes or no from each. Can you post up and organize Arkansas and Missouri? N. Texas OPCOM (confirmed) :D Chuck500cc...

    Spring AROKMOTXKS rally

    Is it possible to find all steelsoldiers members within 250 mile radius of the rally? A personal (PM or email) invite to each would be good with the schedule, details and convoy info. The member locator map is good, but not everyone is listed. Otherwise, let's make a list of everyone in each...

    What kind of trailer?

    For most military trailers, there is no civilian equivalent. Military trailers are typically heavy, short, tall, and offroad capable. Civy trailers are light, long, low and run down the road well.

    Member "Staging Lots" ??

    RE: Stage This is another good reason to use the member locator map. Maybe we can add a new color for individuals willing to assist/stage?

    Spring AROKMOTXKS rally

    I'm planning on it too. Jason, my recommendation is for you to just take charge and organize it. With proper organization, people will come and we will have a good time.

    Towing with tractors

    A lift tow is good because you get some downward force on the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle will track like a trailer. It does require a little more prep work, but I would agree it is a better method. My original questions were in regard to flat towing with towbar.

    Towing with tractors

    Standard operating procedure is to use the same size truck (or larger) to tow a disabled vehicle with towbar. Many add additional weight in the cargo bed of the towing truck to keep the tail from wagging the dog. So what about tractors? Are they the least preferred model for towing? Is the...

    Pictures of Manual Glow Plug Install Fix?

    I am in the process of this manual install and I too had difficulty visualizing everything. I'll try to get some pics posted. In the meantime, there are at least two options I know of: 1. Cut the light blue wire from the glow plug controller under the dash and take it to one terminal of your...

    How to make a M911 do highway speeds?

    More speed would be great. Maybe you could tow it faster. :lol: Seriously, I wonder what it would be like to tow a M911 with a commercial semi?

    Need Help with M818 at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base

    Joe- Sorry, but I am too far to help. I thought you were solely a M939 series collector? You gotta leave something for the rest of us to bid on! :D

    Expandable Vans... more correctly Expansible Vans

    I apologize for the confusion. I guess my comments relate to the expansible van. I was using the term expandable in accordance with the thread topic. I have the M820 as pictured below. Yes, the outer walls move outward, but the sides still fold up/down.

    I think you could get $1400 if you found the right buyer.

    Recovery question, best way to get her home

    It would be a S L O W drive back in the M1008. I would pay to have it shipped. Might even be cheaper that doing it yourself. Post a listing on www.uship.com or search the internet for other options. You can get a lot of bids fast and then determine if it will fit into your budget. Good luck!

    Expandable Vans... more correctly Expansible Vans

    Sorry, that was confusing. With the sides closed, you can cram pack the van the full. Once you expand the van (assuming you can get to the hardware to open it), nothing you stored in the van is going to move. I guess you could build a false floor into the van and slide your gear (couch...
