I was just looking at the member map seeing as it remindes me of home and noticed some of the Steel Soldiers I see on the posts are not on the map. If you are not on the map would you please consider putting your pin on it with a Zip Code? That would be great to see how far others are from you.

Mike: It looks like the baby is gettting ready to walk again. I am not close enough to come help anytime soon but I hope you are able to post running around the woods pictures soon. Always nice to get work done in the warm weather. The manifold looks like it survived my grinding off the bolts...

Chris: Sorry to hear you have to sell it and very happy to know you are going to be a daddy. I would trade all my military iron and guns for one of my four children and I thank God it has not come to that. I hope that some financial bonus comes your way because my children all grew up being...

Wow: I guess the US Government collection of Aircraft is not too far away the desert is a great place to store stuff you want to preserve. If you ever get an airial shot of the lots that would be really cool to look down on all 6 lots. Thanks for posting all these great photos really an nice...

I am interested in one at least are they test run or have a growler test at least? Please let us know what the shipping and total cost per unit will be. I always chinge when I start my duece because of the time spent with 0 oil pressure at startup.

Are Case tractors imports now? Sure looks like it; just a statement to the liberal global warming types that have driven industry bonkers with their raving.

Es tuit mir leid The Army has really made progress in this area especially since we loose so many to crashes. They really are not accidents since they are preventable. Any such activity should have a safety officer that would have shut this down before the driver got the truck started. No...

I really like the way rustbullet works and independant test proved it to last longer than POR15. Used it on the M52 and the M1009 and it works great.

Great news Mike it will fit right in next to the A frame. They make great places to store things too while you are not working on them and the weight is never an issue for mine. I am sitting here in Korea for a year or more so God bless you all and keep in touch with PM I will not be on as...

Don't forget that in 1970 I was paying .19 cents a gallon for gas getting a truck discount. That makes $46,000 in todays money, a lot more than we would pay for a new AMG 555 Mercedes. I still think my duece was one of my better deals for three grand

I can tell you that the duece with my homemade dolly pulled the M 127 better than my M 52 did I am still trying to figure that out? All the way from Lakehurst NJ making 55 on the straight aways and 38 up the hills. I towed the trailer only 10 miles from where I had it parked waiting for the...

Great job looking to do a similar job on my 20k for the M 52 but it will have to wait till I get back from Korea.

Boy these shots remind me of growing up in Indiana and doing lots of off roading as a kid. I wish I could have made the trip too if I would have not been tied up ministering to my Sister who is in the hospital I would have at least asked Mike if he wanted a shotgun for the trip, could have even...

Probably getting ready to rub what he gets out on his brothers shirt if he is anything like my two boys.

That weight issue is a severe problem for the UAH's we weighed one going out the gate at the FOB in Iraq and it topped out over 13,000 pounds with weapons and crew.

RE: looks like singles on your trucks Thanks for posting the pictures, the trucks look great. It is nice to see the US Army trucks in the English countryside. I bet there are a few older folk there who remember the days of WW II when it was a common sight. I hope to get my M52 running like...

The real problem with the heavily armored HMMWV's is that when we weighed one going out the gate it hit a whopping 13,600 pounds with crew, weapons and fuel. That is quite a load on the 6.5 engine especially when it is tapped to run radios, anti-IED devices and AC. God bless our Soldiers and...

Waste of Vehicles that were serviceable Take a look at this picture I snapped in 2006 while looking for a million dollars worth of brand new lithium batteries that I found in the HAZWASTE in Kuwait these dueces where in better condition than mine and the DRMO cut them all up for scrap. Alot of...

I know I would not be here if the Enola Gay did not drop the nuke on Japan. My father was slated to go in on the invasion forces if we had to invade Japan and if anyone thinks Baghdad is messy try fighting the country that gave us Kamakazi pilots and suicide charges. So to me dispite all the...

RE: Re: RE: Riding on troop seats in a deuce That is why there are troop straps, who needs insurance when the driver is a sensable Steel Soldier. Have a blessed Memorial day and have fun at the parade.
