    G506 in Brazil - Just got my resto-project!

    Skull- that truck looks great with those tires and wheels. I sure love the rounded body lines of that old iron. Keep up the good work and keep posting pics.

    Any Gatherings around Dayton OH??

    I have an M1009 and M932A1 you could check out. There have been impromptu gatherings @ WPAFB/DRMO west (akaSWBradley's place) from time to time. I see lots of postings from owners in the Dayton/Xenia area. SW has plenty of room for a git-together. We could make it a working gig and help him get...

    I would get those tires off of the steer axle and move them to the drives.

    Aluminum Cleaner/Polish

    Use a product by Eagle called Never Dull. It's a wadding aluminum polish. Works great and doesn't take a whole lot of effort.

    2012 Ga Rally parts wanted/for sale/swap thread

    Yes, still planning on towing it down for use as a golfus cartus. Plus I need some more hauling area. That's the worst thing about a 932. Can't wait for the conversion to a 927.5 (half way between a 923 and a 932).

    recommend us a rally!

    Too bad the SSGR12 doesn't fit their time frame. Last year, "G" flew in from Central America and enjoyed the rally immensely. I got him to go on a night time trail ride in my M1009. He loved it and it was great to swap stories.

    .

    I think they do have lock up during deceleration. That is the reason for the ABS upgrades- to keep from stalling the engine (equals loss of steering). And when mine downshifts, I can really feel it. I am sure someone with more knowledge will chime in here. I kinda like the idea of an exhaust brake.

    No keys? 915 recovery

    Who is the next scheduled driver? I heard there is quite a long waiting list. I guess I don't need to drive it. On the Marengo trip, I realized the seat was woefully inadequate. I bought a pair of humvee seats. The driver side cam with a base, but its not a springer. (has a spring, but only...

    They are very capable vehicles. Amazing climbers. Articulation is superb. And I have seen one stuck before.

    Official 2012 SS Ga Rally Info thread

    If the recipe doesn't include spinach, you are really missing the boat. I have tried spam & spinach @ Recovry4x4's home and it is absolutely delicious. Best spam dish ever.

    My M931 Recovery and Restoration thread...

    931/932 series have solid mount 5th wheels. I wonder if there are and spare ports in any of the air tanks? Hopefully be able to unthread a plug and plumb the air from there. Or just run a tee from an existing line up through the floor on the right hand side of the driver's seat where the parking...
