The Mojave Road is an old indian path turned wagon road that starts at the Colorado River near Laughlin, Nv and ends near Barstow, Ca. In the late 1800's / early 1900's there were a series of army posts established along the route where natural water springs are located. The army posts protected...

I had a co worker call me today and tell me about an armored vehicle that is 6 wheel drive, has a chrysler engine in it and looks like the armored vehicle from the movie "The dirty dozen" only its bigger, thats the only info I have. Anybody have any idea of what might fit that profile? I wanted...

Sorry, I have searched the site and googled multiple terms to see if you can burn boiled linseed oil in a diesel. I got ahold of a few gallons and was wondering if anybody has thrown any in the fuel tank mixed with diesel?

I just picked up my M101 trailer from Sierra Army Depot earlier this week. Just wanted to pass along the great experience I had with Tim. He was by far the best/friendliest site manager I have dealt with in my 10 or so GL dealings. Very customer service oriented. He had my trailer pulled up and...

Ive started my bob job and the only parts I still need are the U bolts (4) for the front springs. The local shop out here wants $35 each to make them. Anybody have any laying around for sale? By Sunday I hope to be installing the single rear axle and will be stuck without the U bolts. Thanks...

After reading all the posts on the upcoming Florida rally, I began researching flights out there and even got the wifes approval but its just too much money for too little time. So anybody interested in a So Cal desert trip in the next month or two? Just throwing this out there to get the ball...

Picked up my duece today! Being that I did not inspect before the auction, (last minute decision to bid), I was a little nervous thinking I might have bought a 13,000LB lawn ornament. Much to my surprise the truck is in really good shape, no body damage anywhere, no rust, all complete and it...

Well, I sold my duece earlier this summer because I really had no reason to have one (I regretted it). I bought a Unimog thinking it would help me cope with being dueceless, it did'nt. Sold it and bought a M1009 which I love and am keeping. All the while, I keep reading all these great stories...

Since I no longer have my medium duty towbar with the adapters, I need to rig something up to tow my newly acquired blazer. Can somebody please give me the outside dimensions of the attachment points that come out of the front bumper? Is it a square or rectangular tube? Does it use the standard...

Well after years of wanting a unimog, I got one. Bought it from a guy who has over 300 working original military vehicles used in the studios. He has an unbelievable collection however to protect his privacy I cannot give any more info until I have his permission. He named at least 4 movies I...

Finally got around to helping my buddy swap engines on a duece I sold him and he is now selling. This was my parts donor for the winch on my truck and had a spun #3 cylinder rod bearing that I did not feel like messing with. I rented a trailer to tow my other buddies forklift that he let us use...

Well I finally got around to fiddling with my truck today. I installed a heater kit from another truck and finally made a locking gas cab thing. Its a pretty simple but effective tool to keep people from stealing or sabatoging my precious fuel supply. I made it out of an 8" long 3/4" piece of...

OK, This is just one of my ideas to help simplify my life. I want to sell my 2 year old motorhome to save about $7000 a year in bills and buy a nice used camping trailer. I no longer have a family vehicle that is capable of towing a large trailer and I dont want to buy another truck so my idea...

Hello, the land I store my M105 trailer on is being sold and I dont want to put it in my garage so I must sell it. It is in pretty darn good shape. It has the rear folding support stand, the newer style front landing gear that cranks up and down, all four of the side panels, electrical and...

Has anyone changed out the torque rod bushings in their duece? My truck looks like its going to need a t least 8 of them. Looks like a PITA. It should be something everybody goes out and checks for safetys sake. I have seen a 5 ton with rotted out torque rod bushings where the rear axle fell out...

Anybody have the old style mirror bracket that is welded to the windshield frame pivot bolt, for sale or trade? Ive got one on my drivers side but not my passengers side and want to take off the west coast mirror set up and use the old small style mirrors. Thanks, Devin

Hey guys, I'm getting one of my dueces inspected tomorrow by the CHP. Its an REO but I dont know what years they were made between. Anybody have that info? That way I can kinda make an educated guess of what year to title it as and see if the axle dates jive with the years they were made...

Hey fellas, I couldnt figure out where to post this because the wanted classifieds is locked. I am looking for a broken rear axle shaft only for the flange to use for a cover when removing my regular rear axle shaft. Or a stripped out front hub would work too. Anybody have any they would like to...
