Is it just me, or are the links under the "resources" tab not directing to the appropriate page? (Browsing with Safari 5.0.5)

There was a custom made hitch on my truck when I got it - never liked it. Finally got around to replacing it. I opted to have a shop install it for me - best $150 of labor I ever spent. Went with a class IV - but the shop welded extra support just to make it as robust as possible. The...

I have a JD 332 skid steer loader - the biggest one Deere makes. With the grapple rake it weighs in at 10,000 lbs. 3 things will get it stuck: loose sand, logs/stumps, or an incline. If any two of those obstacles present themselves I can almost always push myself backwards with the hydraulics...

Attention Central Florida MV'ers: Save the date for Friday evening, December 17th. We will be lighting up and decorating our rigs and convoying through town to drop off toys collected this year for charity. The drop off location will be the WFLZ 93.3 "Stuff-a-Bus" Toys For Tots at the...

Oil is leaking from my starter - I thought the leak was coming from the mounting flange since there was no gasket. I pulled the starter and remounted it with RTV. The leak is slightly less, but it seems to be leaking from the starter itself, a few inches down from the flange. There is a...

The inside of my fuel tank looks like someone poured a box of corn flakes in it. I have read about the process of refurbishing the tank using muratic acid and then coating it with POR 15. Details here: DIY Fuel Tank Restoration Has anyone tried this? Any thoughts?

Had my truck in the Chasco parade today - great turn out of big OD iron, and some great Jeeps!

I was watching the History Channel (big surprise, I know) and learned about this nifty piece of kit . . . . thought I would share: Vehicle-mounted Acoustic Sniper Detection System Sniping at US Forces Beginning to Boomerang

I have a friend that wants one . . . he thinks. He would like to look one over in person and pick the owners brains. So . . who's the closest to Tampa that would be willing to do show and tell?

I have now had for the SECOND time a sidewall start to split . . . . a crack you can stick your pinky into . . . but still holding pressure. Has anyone else had this happen? Also if anyone knows of someone selling one or two 15.5 80 r20 Michelin Pilote G20 on the east coast, let me know!

I scored a kitchen tent locally - but it seems I am missing all 5 of the required 9' poles (with the smaller sized pins.) It seems silly to pay for shipping on tent poles - Has anyone heard of a supplier for just the metal collar and pin so that I could make my own poles? Or has anyone ever...

Just finished the M332 . . . . the deuce and mule are next!

I am befuddled to say the least. All wheel cylinders have been replaced. All lines have been replaced, both hard and soft. New master cylinder a couple of years ago. New airpack a month ago. BUT, I once again am having the same problem - if I drive at 50 m.p.h w/o stopping on the...

I was too busy and had a tight window, so I did not have the time to do step by step pics . . . the most interesting part was the venue I was able to use: my uncle's aircraft hangar . . . the the cutting of the old drag link - we could just not get it apart.

I was able to squeeze my mule on the Jeep trailer for a little off road action. I am really impressed with it! I put some video up too, after it is edited.

I have become aware of an opportunity for a mule at $2500, the seller says it runs great and has no rust . . . the pics look good . . . I am looking at it tomorrow, what should I look for? What are the quirks? What do you think about the $2.5K list price? What if it is an A5 w/o 4 wheel...

Just dropped in a brand new airpack, secured by Mike @ ODIron . . . Holy cow, deuces really can stop quick, contrary to popular belief! I was able to lock all 6 super singles after the change-out! So happy! This completes a near-total rebuild of the braking system, since I got the truck I...

It seems the "times are a changin'". With all of the trucks being liquidated . . . . I am interested in what you think these trucks are worth. When people asked me in the past I would say "you can get them for $3K all day long, that's what I paid for mine." But after looking at the recent...

I joined the First Florda Chapter of the MVPA today in the Chasco Fiesta Parade, New Port Richey, FL. I has the pleasure of hosting the Tampa Bay Army Cadets in my truck. "Not Dixie" will post the pics in about 2 minutes. :)

I am looking for someone to pick up a crate at Aberdeen '09 and bring back to Florida. Thanks! TJ
