Oh yeah, I'm the favorite of the neighborhood. Here's a shot of some of what I have shoe horned into my back yard. You can see why I use the jeep, no why I'm backing a trailer in through all that with my 2500 long bed extended cab! :shock:

Alright, David wanted me to post pics of my M38a1 towing his lube oil trailer. I use that jeep as a yard goat all the time, best $400 I ever spent! Also, notice that the fruitcake camo is being replaced slowly by rattle can USMC OD. The clutch in this thing must be really good, of course if I...

Re: RE: ABERDEEN 2008! I had gotten my own spots, as I hadn't found the forum until after the group buy, but then you had some spots not filled, so I moved closer. Would like to just get in on the group buy this year.

Ok, I picked up David's Lube Trailer the day after he paid for it. It might bottom out if you pull it with anything lower than my 2500 with the raised pintle, I was worried about it myself. The bottom edge was only about 8 inchs off the ground. Also, the pintle on these things are HEAVY. When I...

Hey guys, just got a letter saying Aberdeen is going to be May 8,9,10 at Ripken Stadium again. Are we going to start planning early? I want to make sure I get some spots with the SS group this year! Hurry, only 163 days until the 2008 East Coast Convoy!!!! :driver: :grd: Who's planning to...

RE: deuce is home Really good looking truck! Yes, as someone who knows, check those brakes!!!!

That old dozer is awesome! Makes me want one...

Need me a cable. Anyone got a 25ft for sale?

http://www.armyradio.com/arsc/customer/home.php?cat=85 Here's what you need with pics, all except the headsets. Looking to do this little upgrade in my M35 before Aberdeen next year. (unless I take the M211, then I can hear because it's 'whisper quiet' . Right? :wink: )

Hey Alredneck, I can look at it and handle transport issues if you want. I'm still active duty Navy for a few more weeks so getting on base is a snap. I would have had you a place to store it too but the railroad I work for just leased out the enginehouse (that ought to tell you how well the...

RE: 6tl Your right, they don't know you from me! rofl I got my blems from the same place as Jwaller, even took one that wasn't charged all the way for a super deep discount (well, I paid about $50 for two 6tls) Those batts are great, I don't get to drive the truck much as it is in SC, but...

:ditto: Clinto, I would bet you were right!

Ok guys, here it is, my hyrailer. you could do the same thing to a deuce, just use heavier wheels and arms. The tires actually ride on the railhead, providing the traction and braking. The rail wheels take up some of the weight off the suspension so that the flanged wheels guide the tires and...

Re: RE: M800 series doing Rail duty :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: You are so right Mangus! That is exactly what I'm going to do to my duece one day, at least with temp rims set up so I can put it on and take it off. Freight Train, I worked it out, if you put the rims on the inside of...

I am also curious as to the effects of ethanol burning on the multi? I can make bio, I can make ethanol, so I could have lots of stock on hand. If it were a get the heck out of dodge type event, I would pitch the totes into the bed, rig up some kind of on the fly refueling method (i.e. valve...

hmmm... if that M818 can maintain convoy speed with an armored body on it, it doesnt' seem "non-repairable". Looks like they 'repaired' it to me! :D

Now, how about a wiring harness for a M211? Hmmm? custom work the only way to go? or 40 yr old replacement just as bad as the one in the truck already?

:ditto: Same thing I got from the VA rep. It had been so long, and the letter didn't mention it, I forgot what it was for! :wink:

Yep, it is a shame the way they treat old iron sometimes. But if it does help keep us free and our men and women safe, so be it. These are the sink-ex pics of my old ship, the mighty USS Stump, going to her watery grave. Commissioned in 1978, decommissioned in 2004. The third to the last...

Hey Mike, you can count me in, even if I can only drag the fruitcake M38a1 along.
