    cucv new to me

    Suggest reading this since it is in the CUCV forum and is a permanent 'sticky' thread at the top for the new CUCV owner to read to get a whole bunch of answers before asking questions that have been answered many, many, many times before...

    Bought A Tank

    Hey that's my other tank before I bought it. It is now bobbed and had 90" wheels on it with triple tracks. You ought to see that baby burn rubber on the interstate the other night. I was driving it with the IR goggles I bought off epay and blew right by the cops. They tried to chase me but...

    troop seats and bows for M813A1?

    The standard deuce rack with the 2 foot sections you mentioned. Headache rack is different. Fiberglass racks from the right person will be 300 for a 5 ton for all racks. There are some racks I've seen that are one piece. Keep in mind that it can also be an assembly 'thing'. If the...

    Finally Got a deuce

    And I'm the grumpy old fart that they're talking about. And since our newb flyBURopTIK has kindly stepped up to the plate, I will use his first post as an example. BIG difference on how Zack and flyBuropTik entered the website. You can see it in the very first post. Underlined portions are...

    FNG-Of-The-Day

    My friend, I guess you picked the wrong day to ask some questions that probably should have been researched a little better. Don't consider it personal, consider it bad timing. Many of the old timers-me included- are getting a little stressed with the same repeated questions over and over and...

    Bought A Tank

    Oh thanks ATD. I have extra wheels and track but hate to carry them cause they increase my wind resistance and weight and hence cuts me from 5 gallons per mile to 5.00001 gallons per mile. So I don't plan on carrying any. After all, its plentify and I can get just about anyone on SS to bring...

    Bought A Tank

    I went over to start it and found the batteries were dead. Although I got four new batteries here, I figured I'd just try to slave start it. I don't really have slave cables so I twisted together some coat hangers and wrapped them electrical tape---well actually I ran out of electrical tape...

    Bought A Tank

    Wow big thanks and a big 10-4 there good buddy. The GL guy says I can pull start it. He says just us using my Datsun pickup truck should work. Not sure who posted it but I sure would like to buy that snorkel. Will that work for crossing from Hawaii to California? Will California force me...

    Bought A Tank

    Thanks for helping me out. You guys really are a swell bunch. A buddy of mine got me a set of track jacks. Wouldn't you know it, the tracks were flat when I got it. I tried to jack up the tank with the track jacks but can't figure out how to work them. The TM is in the turret and I don't...

    Bought A Tank

    Oh, what does that mean. And I need to know what numbers I should put on the bridge weight signy thing on the tank. I was thinking 69. LOL I think that would be original. I'm sure nobody has thought of that before. LOL, LOL.

    Bought A Tank

    Oh I won't care about them, what are they gonna do. I have a tank. Can't wait to take the kids to soccer practice. I'm thinking of taking it out on the field to drop them off. It's only rained here a few days ago so I figure the ground will be firm. Hmm should support 80 tons.

    FNG-Of-The-Day

    Welcome to the site. My suggestion is to download the technical manuals and read them. There is a thread on what to take to pick up vehicles. For more speed and if you can afford it, I suggest trying a larger tire size (53s are great) and for power JATO. It's probably the most effective...
