    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Is that a Cuban; Cohiba even!?

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    If I remember right, that "lever/ knob" on the starboard side of the drum has a disengage detent that you might need to get to before the drum will free-spool. But here's the catch: - I'm not CERTAIN of that I tell you, the TM will certainly clarify it all. AND you will definitely want to...

    Modern Russian Army in the photos.

    I think it might be an Eastern European/ post Soviet-era thing, but I get a kick out of the ground crew dressed informally, in over-alls, and what almost likes like a jogging suit. And the the solid heavy-duty look of the cockpit gives one the impression that the thing is a tank that just...

    Working On The M561 Gama Goat

    I know there was a differential, but never knew it was THAT much; great to know. Thanks! And I think that the color seals the deal, hands down.

    Old Military vehicle locomotion trials

    That was all very cool, thanks Flingarrows: - One SERIOUS woodpile there (i think it was around 4.30 +/-) - And a hoot that a substitution for horses is even mentioned (but then you realize the number of horses that the Wehrmacht went through during WWII, tens of thousands I think it was).

    The traffic light is green: - and the bud is stepping lively right smack-dab into the middle of the intersection - AGAINST the traffic - And there is rolling hardware everywhere Was it "suicide by armor"!?

    You're funny, mkcoen. :lol: Maybe it's Bad Karma circling back: - Did you maybe kick a dog once when you were a kid!?

    WSUCougar's M925A1 Acquisition and Build Thread

    Was it: - Budget cuts? - Hurt feelings!? (Because maybe your stuff looked BETTER than theirs?). What's the story, do you know!?

    Isn't that ALWAYS the way!?? The Gods find great laughter in our daily struggles. Crying's no help, so we just got to laugh along with them, you know?

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

    That's probably because you look so grumpy on those cold winter mornings: - You should maybe try smiling a little more. And try eating a good breakfast too; great start for a sunny outlook! :mrgreen:

    1952 M135 W/Winch

    Yes indeed you CAN learn a lot from "reading the manual": - The problem is those manuals written with so much fluff that it discourages you from reading the thing at all (even though there might be a critical gem or two hidden in the baloney). That's just the way it goes I guess. (PS...

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

    Ask that Kentucky fellow to show you how to make whiskey (you know the Bourbon County kind), and then you will ALWAYS have friends!

    M1010 for my daughter the field biologist

    Talking about running the batteries down: - Do you have an opinion about battery system protectors, like "PriorityStart!", ever hear of these? It's small switch (electro-magnetic, I think) that you hang off a battery and it switches off any loads going through it if it detects the battery...

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

    I didn't know there was even a single part you could buy for $60. That's a great price (that is, if they actually do more than just check your tire pressure).

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I know I'm being nosey (and it's not good manners to ask about money and all), but would you mind mentioning (maybe just the range) of what the cost of something like these is? And of course you can say no; that's not a problem. But I don't know if those things are like $20 each or $220 each...

    Red's deuce/camper project

    I would LOVE to come you there and check out Utah. I've never been in that part of the country, but the pictures of the place sure look pretty. Not this time, but one of these days. Thanks for the invite, and good luck; send us some "pitchers". :beer:
