Thanks for the pointers, guys, will try the small impact on them and see what happens. Worst case scenario I round the connector, but if that happens I'll just try the Vise-Grip method. I'll beat this thing into submission some way....

Flat fender jeeps are addictive - once you ride in one, you'll long to own one for the rest of your life. The CJ3A is probably the easiest to work on of all the Willys Jeeps, along with it's similar brother the CJ2A. It was the last jeep with the L-134 engine, after that you had the CJ3B and...

The first three are - the last one is Virginia mud...

After looking over the list of gun trucks in Hard Ride, Vol. 2, it appears there was only 9 dump trucks that were used as gun trucks in Vietnam. They include: CHEAP THRILLS, M51 dump, Engineers DEALER OF DEATH, M51 dump with armored bed, B-Co, 4th Plt, 299 Eng EVIL DOER, 5-ton dump with...

Is that what they call mudding in Largo? Okay. Guess the dirt isn't really that deep there.

I am trying to get this M200 trailer does for Aberdeen, am having problems with the existing brake lines. The steel brake line compression fittings (they have a name, I can't remember what they are called) have corroded to the brass fittings on the master cylinder, as well as to the inner wheel...

Does anyone have any in-country pics of any 5-ton M51 dump trucks in Vietnam being used as gun trucks? I talked to a vet not long ago, who said that whenever the GIs in his unit could get a ride in a dump truck, they preferred to pick that instead of a standard cargo truck, since the metal...

That halftrack is definitely half off, but there is plenty there to build up on. Hope the new owner was able to put some rear armor back on it and bring it back from the dead....

Took the M100 trailer out for a tow today to ShieldWolf37's place, he has been a ham radio guy for years and he said he had a pile of stuff that was military that he didn't want anymore. All of it was stuff that needs to be restored, but some of the gear went back to WWII, including some ARC-5...

I got mine for free. Of course, I bought 7 other trucks, sold them for a profit and the profit paid for mine. I don't think I would work it that way again, took too much time and was a lot of work, bidding and towing them home and all the paperwork and fixing problems and advertising and...

Lots of stuff, have to clean out the shed... piles of military radio equipment, from 1940s to 1980s M200A1 trailer turned into flatbed fire bottles, 5 lb type M151 rims M37 rims ALICE pack frames convoy light cable sets M416 trailer axle CUCV front bumper MBU V.3 burner unit piles of small...

Wish there were some pics there..... nopics

Any updates on the truck, Chris? Took a look at the truck when I was at Winslow's last week, it looked pretty sweet!

Just ordered my copy of Hard Ride Vol. 1 from Amazon, they had a lightly used copy for $31.95 plus shipping, it was the low price. I have had Vol. 2 for a while, can't wait to get more of an education in the art of the thick steel.

That CUCV looks badass, great pics! Thanks for sharing....

Sure. Here ya go!

Get something like this - big and long and wide, so the danger of flipping over is nil. Big tires to absorb the impacts, and cab-over design so you can see the trail better. Just get rid of the front stabilizing plow and the rear outriggers, and you'll have great clearance.

Someone here on the site built a serious mudbogger out of a deuce, here's the pic to give you ideas. If you're just doing some minor offroading, leave the deuce as is, and fix as needed. However, if the Rubicon Trail is too sissy for you, I'd bob the deuce, hack off the mud flaps, fenders...
