I'd love to have a M920 as well, much like Soni H. has done up. Also, a M925, a HEMTT, a M125 (although Bruce Kubu says it's overrated), and an Atomic Annie cannon setup. But truth be told, I have neither the space or the money to deal with all of them. Heck, it's hard enough dealing with the...

Air shift, hands down. Had heard much more problems with sprag shift than air, and to be honest, there is nothing like sitting in the cab, hitting the air shift button, and knowing you are in 6-wheel drive.

I don't know, Katahdin, that pipe looks awfully thin, like it's a M35A1. The rest checks out, though....

Could use a new set of plates for the M37B1. The only plates I see on mvdataplates.com are for the straight M37.

I had an easier way to remove the tire from the rim. I found out how when towing my M37 home from Haspin. Take some 42 year old tires, expose them to 45-50 mph towing speeds, on a 90-degree day, and you get this. A few more miles, and I would have had no rubber left on the rim.

I have talked to vets who said during Vietnam, a lot of old tires got swiped from US bases over there, to get turned into VietCong tire sandals. The tire tubes usually got stolen and weapons were cached in them to keep the weapons dry.

Wow, that's a lot of weight your truck is pulling there. Great job putting it to work. Fat Albert said it best:

It will, but heck with them. Some purists are so picky they bitch because we don't put the factory grease pencil marks on the frame like the Pebble Beach concours restoration folks. My opinion - your trailer is far to gone to be a restoration candidate. However, it is in perfectly good...

Well, we got a lot done on the trail maintenance yesterday. Cliff from Fairfax was there in the morning until lunchtime, and I showed up at lunchtime and worked until supper. A couple of the trails are completely cleared, ready for jeeps and trail vehicles. The next work weekend will be...

Looks great Flea, next thing you gotta do is get out the MIG welder and repair the rust holes that were in the cab and the bed! The down side is, then you can't call it Rusty. :)

AMC probably refers to Army Materiel Command. PAD would either refer to U.S. Army Public Affairs Detachment, or the Army Product Assurance Directorate, located out of Edgewood, Maryland.

I recall a "FUBAR" article from years back in one of the mags I subcribed to. Told of an episode during the Vietnam War in which a GI stationed near the beach saw something washed up with the tide. Turned out to be an anti-ship mine of some sort, left years back by the Japanese during WWII...

We are having a trail maintenance day on Sunday, July 4th, if anyone cares to show up. Go up to the Lodge whenever you arrive, ask for Cabell. If he is outside working already, he should respond on the radio, or one of the ladies in the office can tell you where he is. It's gonna be hot, so...

Install an A/C unit in your deuce, like gilbert2-1/2ton did.

That was the short little convoy we made in Oct. 2007 to go up to Rausch Creek PA for the first rally we did there.

It does work, but really sucks for those who want to light up a stogie while driving. Having only the windshield open blows the smoke and embers right in your eyes. Same for cigarettes. Ask me how I know.

I always pump my own fuel. Except in New Jersey, where it is illegal to pump your own. One time, in 1996, I did almost have a tank full of diesel put in my Dakota gas tank, due to the stupid inbred stoner that was working at the station that day that didn't pay attention to the gas nozzle he...

What's missing? A "DELETE" button to remove this redundant thread. Remember, the "search" function is your friend, and ours too.

Updated the list and bump to top. I'm going to try and make this Sunday, July 4th, for the trail maintenance. I sent CGarbee a PM, but I know his cell reception and his internet access at the Lodge is non-existent. If you can make the trail maintenance on Sunday, I know it's a holiday, but...

I wanted to start a thread about The Gathering, this year held August 4-8, 2010 at Carlisle PA. I have a couple other people emailing me about exactly where this is going to be, Carlisle is a big place. I assume it WILL NOT be held at the Carlisle car show grounds, as they are having their...
