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

    I hear you. Those kinds of adventure are always better to hear about happening to somebody else. But the good news is nobody got hurt (I hope), and now you got a killer story to tell whenever storytime comes up. :beer:

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

    Tim292stro, I think that was you; but I can't remember what the thread was where you told us abut it. You are one cool cookie, and my hat is off to you for keeping your wits around you while that was happening. :shock:

    Supplies for a Long Trip

    A little drifting here, but "Touch-a-Truck" , SCSG-G4; what's the story on that?

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    That tractor was just sitting there by the side of the road!? Is that a private road or a State road?

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

    Someone on here once had the thrill of watching one of their tires pass them while underway. :3dAngus: Can't remember now exactly who that was, but the good news is they're still around to tell the story.

    You made me laugh. That IS funny. We're a mess.

    Your outrigger swing-set is one terrific creation! But you better hide it once he hits his teens and gets the driver's license. Because you just know him and his buddies will want to try it out in motion (it's what boys do).

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Maybe, during your off-season, you should just charge the little guy rent: - You could ask top dollar what with the built-in exercise wheel. :mrgreen:

    Modern Russian Army in the photos.

    That is SO sweet, USSR. What a beast! Are all those axles steerable?

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    No kidding? You made a nice score there! If it were "The Price is Right" show I would have guessed $300 each. But then I guess I wouldn't be "going home with a new Buick". :mrgreen:

    Supplies for a Long Trip

    For the record, here apparently is what Eisenhower actually said (the other post is only the internet "shorthand"). Either way, safe trip; and as our good Padre has already offered Vaya con Dios:

    Supplies for a Long Trip

    I think it was Eisenhower after D-Day who said (+/-): - Plans are worthless, but planning is priceless So a game plan for your trip is good. But then allow yourself some flexibility and don't get any heartburn if things don't all go exactly as you planned. Here it is, I found it:

    That's a great looking trailer. What's the story on that variant (I mean is it designed for some kind of specialty hauling)?

    CCKW arctic cab

    That explains it, eme411, thanks. He told me that the coldest he had ever been in his life was the night they made the run to intercept the German advance (they covered some amazing mileage in 12 or so hours, nobody thought it could be done, not even the Wehrmacht). Patton was something else.

    Picked up 6 MEP-802A gensets and will be documenting making them all runners here

    How exactly does the staring fluid make a problem for the engine? I mean if you can answer that simply (and I know that's not always the case).

    Good Luck in the new position, tim292!

    Just bought my first Deuce!!

    I'm guessing that the drift wasn't planned, and not something you did in a big safe area for "fun".

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Those seats look great. What are you controlling with all of those switches in the console?

    CCKW arctic cab

    I had an Uncle was a tank commander (M-4 Shermans) under Patton, and he did tell me a story once of how cold those tanks were during the Bulge. He said buttoned up that they at least kept the wind off of you, but if I remember right there was no "heater" in those things (so I guess collective...

    It looks real fine. Is that just a rattle-can job?
