    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    That is a very broad stereotype. A bit out of bounds to group all citizens of any nation in one catagory. ( Edit: I see not "all" but if enough to be kicked to the curb, must have meant majority)I have had to work with some slackers and carrying their weight does get old, but in no way is that...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    It is funny (not literally) how these companies love taking dollars from Americans but despise the thought of hiring Americans.

    Welcome. Will be in Holly Hill for ten days at the end of the month. Do you drive the truck? If so I may see you and snap a pic for the MV spotted thread! We head over to the beach almost every day, but I bet the surf fishing may be an issue this soon after Matthew ripped through. I hope you...

    Show us your Military Trailers

    I plan on filling all of my M105s, both M101s and one M1082 with wood for easy removal of the first one to go empty and simply back another full one in near my basement door. Wood is my primary heat in a 1850s house with no wall insulation. Uses a lot of fuel.

    Show us your Military Trailers

    I will try that on my M105s. Just yesterday I put a new green tarp on one and then put the leaky cover on, but it will still puddle, and leak. I wish I had thought of, or heard of your technique beforehand. Better late than never. I may still get away with it without removing the cover and tarp...

    Show us your Military Trailers

    Here is a nice tip on keeping that cover nice and tight and puddle free. Get a 4'x8'x1/4" thick sheet of plywood and attach it to the top of the bows using rounded head flat or crosstip screws and then put the cover on. I got one this way from the Air Force at Peoria, IL. It looks very nice with...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    I am by no means a professional painter so I am asking for myself too, but isn't a few light coats better than one heavy coat?

    Issues with SF-97

    No, I bought a lot a few months back from Groveport thru GL, and there were over a hundred more lots and even more about a month after that.

    I need to be schooled on ltmv rear tarp and bows

    Yes, the trailers have them three holes for the verticle pieces as well in the front, but I don't see how either type will go in the stowage area as there isn't room, even if disassembled.

    I need to be schooled on ltmv rear tarp and bows

    I really dont know how one could fit the uprights in the stowage area as this pic shows my stowage area full from just the horizontal pieces. Unless the trucks have a different stowage area than the trailers.

    I need to be schooled on ltmv rear tarp and bows

    The newer bow "system" has spring loaded push pins that lock the system together (somewhat) and the tubes are lighter gauge steel. The old "system" has plain 1" pipes for horizontal pieces and must be strapped together to stay in place. They both come with the straps when new. I had the new...

    Where are the cargo covers for LMTVs?

    So what was this special cleaner? One of my covers was left in the trailer until sold by GP and left black water stains that boric acid wouldn't even lighten. The covers work on the M1082 as well. That will also add to the cost and availability issue.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Wow, crazy how many feet per second at 55 mph. Glad I was empty or I would have missed that turn off. I was BSing with my shotgun and not paying attention to where my turn off was. It took just a couple seconds. I need a dash cam. Them numbers really stress the importance of keeping a safe distance.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Forgot to mention what the MC said about the truck as it passed the largest section of the crowd near the giant pumpkin. The truck was the number two vehicle in line, out of over 100 vehicles, following only the police departments escorting and the color guard. I had a shipping sticker on the...
