Some states are giving people trouble because they don't like big scary green trucks, using the absence of FMVSS stickers as a pretext...

Why not take a cue from Idaho? 0 49-458. MILITARY VEHICLES. Notwithstanding any provisions of law to 11 the contrary, a vehicle built for the United States armed forces may be reg- 12 istered and operated on public highways of this state," 10 49-458. MI

I flipped the hubs on an airforce M35A2 not so long ago. They were wired.

You can remove Idaho from your ****list. Idaho's law states " 10 49-458. MILITARY VEHICLES. Notwithstanding any provisions of law to 11 the contrary, a vehicle built for the United States armed forces may be reg- 12 istered and operated on public highways of this state,"

At least one inspection station is still passing M35A2 trucks as of today -

I paid about $2500 to have a 5ton entirely sandblasted to bare steel and repainted with real CARC. At the other end of the spectrum, a buddy and I changed his deuce from green to tan in an afternoon for under $200. I'm a big fan of the house paint approach.

I think the go fund me announcement and planned legal challenge are of sufficient importance to rate a separate posting.

Please update the VA legal post with your success or failure registering it. With the recent changes, it'll be good info to have either way.

The larger diesel gensets that make their power at 1800rpm are considerably quieter. Your baffled conex container should resolve it though...

It may be camera angle, but the rear tires look taller than the front. Have a look at tire sizes.... size mismatch is a red flag. (I think it's camera angle)

There was a "clean air kit" which added a turbo to nonturbo M35A2s.

You're worried too much about the Sprag. I just finished a 1500 mile trip in a truck equipped with a sprag... highway speed. No issues.

My personal opinion about sprag vs air shift transfer is that it isn't such a big deal. In the deuces, they are thought to be more fragile than the air shift variant. They have much less tolerance for allowing the vehicle to roll backwards while in a forward gear. Sprag transfers work just fine...

The transfer case is sprag instead of air. Air transfer is the preferred variant. You're in VA. I sent you a link you'll want to read. (Not a sales pitch).

Angle grinder and a fine brush. Or fine steel wool.

Speaking from experience as a trauma nurse, the single best predictor of relative injuries is the relative weight of the vehicles. Obviously there are always outliers.

I speculate it's GP manipulating supply to keep prices up. GL had very limited offsite storage capacity. GP has copious amounts. GL seemed not to care if trucks sold below scrap value. GP does a good job extracting retail prices from them. I can't believe it's a true downturn in supply.

I prefer the top one due to the hazard lever is more robust.

IROAN. Inspect, Replace Only As Needed.

Sorry. The way I read post #2 looked like you were referencing a recent restriction to off road only. All the more so since post #1 references a nonexistent federal off road restriction on 5tons. I'll crawl back under my rock now... Edit to add a picture of my rock. (Meteor Crater Road)
