So this weekend, I joined the crowds of off road enthusiasts that swarm Sand Lake Recreation area here in North Western Oregon on every big holiday. I had been dying to get another M925A1, and what better time to take it someplace like that, than when it is crowded and there are lots of people...

So, I've been doing all this work to this truck since I bought it a couple weeks ago. Haven't driven it on the highway yet, because I haven't registered it yet, because I wanted to make sure I fixed it all up good enough to be road worthy first of course. I've worked really fast on it...

I found this brand new cable laying on the floor of my newly acquired 1987 M925A1. It still had protective plastic taped on the ends when I found it. I can't see where on the truck it would go. The truck was overhauled at Red River Army Depot in 01/2005. I found this big stack of...

:jumpin: So I just today finally bought me another M925A1 after a three year hiatus of not owning any military vehicles. I bought a house and property here in northwestern Oregon a year and a half ago, and there was no extra money or time to be messing around with military trucks for a while...

My truck is going to be in a parade next Saturday, and then in another one the following Saturday, and I'm going to have quite a few people needing to get in and out of the back safely and easily. In the past I just brought a little fold up ladder with me, but this dang truck is so bloody tall...

Okay..... Got my M925A1 all sandblasted last week. Took just a couple days to get that done, then all day Saturday I spent painting it. VERY happy with how it turned out. If any of you remember what my plan was, I was going for a pretty dark end result where the drab and the black blended...

So, I've got a friend who has a scrap metal business, and he goes all around the county hauling scrap metal off of peoples land. Once in a while he comes upon military stuff. Since he knows I am into military stuff, he sent me an email asking me if I wanted this M7 Generator trailer when he...

Well, went in to the DMV this morning and got my truck registered finally. The SF97 came in the mail yesterday, so last night I filled out all the paperwork including the application for Historical vehicle plates. Took it all in to the DMV this morning right after they opened so as to...

So, I finally got the rest of my 16.00 R20's mounted this evening. Only took me 6 days. Ha ha That is a lot of work! But I work long hours driving my logging truck, so I didn't have much time either. But yeah, just had to take my girl out and get some pictures with all of the tires on. Now I...

Ha ha, Got 4 of my 16.00R20 tires mounted. Waiting on a new valve stem, and some new O rings to come UPS this Friday before I can mount the other two. So for now, I just chained up the front axle so I could atleast move the truck out of my shop. So I decided to get a couple pictures of it...

Okay, so I managed to get my M925a1 from Barstow yesterday. Won the auction a MONTH ago but GL's lot was apparently so busy, they could not give me a pickup appointment til yesterday, June 22nd. So I left my house in Quincy on Thursday afternoon and drove down to Bakersfield and spent the...

I want one of these so freakin bad to pull behind my big M925A1 when I get one! A little tiny M105 trailer is just going to look pathetic behind an M925A1! Too bad these things are not selling yet, or atleast don't appear to be! I'm sure they would be way too expensive for me even if they were!

So........I am very close now to finally buying me an M925. Been after one for a year now, and I've bought fixed up and sold a couple M35a2's and an M813a1 to build up the funds to buy an M925 through GL. Not interested in spending no $14,000 for one! ha ha I like to buy cheap and fix them...

Okay, so some of you might remember that I discovered my radiator was completely shot beyond repair. It was so badly corroded throughout all the water passages that it just could not be fixed. Well, I did not want to have to spend between $650-$1000 for a new radiator, and that's all I was...

Dang it, I have a paint scheme dilemma here. Here is what my truck looked like when I bought it. I had bought the new soft top for it last year in desert tan, because it was always my plan to paint it desert tan when I got around to it. Wanted to paint it very similar to this, So I...

Okay, so I was just screwing around today. Had been dying to get a car of some sort into the bed of one of my trucks. Why? Just because I can for the heck of it. ha ha So I finally got the hill side dug out to where I could back up to it and only have to use small ramps to drive right in...

We had some new snow fall the other night, so I decided to assemble a full set of chains for one of my M35A2's out of a whole bunch of truck tire chains I had sitting around. Had to cut about a foot off of each chain. But I now have a full set of chains. Been wanting to do it for a while now...

Any of you guys ever put your Military Vehicles in a light parade? Ha ha Every year our little community has a "Main street sparkle" the first part of December. They do the tree lighting at the court house, and have bands playing Christmas music, and Santa Clause for the kids, and most of the...

Just wanted to make a video of my M35 driving around. So here it is. I'll get some video like this of my M813A1 sometime soon.

Okay, so I ended up going and recovering the M35 and two trailers myself that were at Nellis. Normally I am working hauling logs this time of year, so it costs me less to pay someone else to haul stuff like that for me. But I had a situation where I had a guy say he was going to move them for...
