When I started putting together the parts and such for my M66 ring mount I was somewhat frustrated by the lack of useful pictures on the web but managed to muddle through the process. Dave T is putting a ring on another truck and just encountered the same issue trying to figure out what goes...

Announcement: Operation East Wind 7 dates and location have been set. When: March 8th - 16th 2014 What: Operation East Wind is a 9 day long 24 hour per day immersive milsim event set in the closing days of the Cold War. From the moment you arrive till the moment you leave, you are...

Anyone? Figured this would be as good a place to check as any since these things are a fraction the cost of a normal dummy gun.

TB43-0209 (1976) I am looking for the 1976 version detailing all the MERDC 4 color patterns. I have MOST of the patterns I need for vehicles we're doing but just having the whole thing would be a big help. Thanks!

Not really a road trip per say but certainly a trip. Earlier this month we ran the 6th annual Operation East Wind event down at D-Day Adventure Park in Wyandotte, Oklahoma. For those of you who do not know what East Wind is, the short answer is that East Wind is a 9 day long 24/7 tactical...

I drive my deuce rather a lot using it to run back and forth out to reenacting events carting all my goodies around as well as for various surplus shopping trips. Usually around 6-8K a year and I have been getting sort of tired of constantly having to be on the hunt for more 9.00 - 20 NDCC...

Anyone out there in the wild wild world of Mil vehicles know of a place that’s got some M880 cargo covers in stock? I dug out the cover for my 880 the other day and it’s looking like I have a fairly substantial amount of sewing repairs to do to it before it’s really ready to be subjected to...

I have an RT-246 mounted in my M35A2 and I have always wanted to use an LS-671 speaker with it. I have a friend who runs an LS-671 with an RT-524 in his M35A2 so I know it CAN be done yet for some reason, every time I try to do so it never works out. The appeal to a deuce owner is...

My 882 sort of has a variety pack of tires and rims (16 and 16.5) on it, surely a great combo on a full time 4wd vehicle to be sure. Anyone care to enlighten a fella as to what the correct size tires are on these things? I am assuming 9.50 16.5 LT but figured I'd make extra sure before I...

Anyone actually talked to an actual person at Rapco this last week or so? We've got a painting weekend lined up here in KC for a bunch of us and many/most of us have not gotten the paint we ordered from them. They've not answered the phone for the last few days and nobody's cards have been...

I ended up with a set of sawed up Deuce troop seats in the bed of an M882 I bought from GSA. I’ve pulled the cut up wood off of them and have the two sides shrink wrapped together for storage so that none of the little bits get lost. All the metal bit are there save for the nuts and carriage...

Hi guys, We just picked up some MEP-531 gens from GL out at Ft. Riley that had been fairly severely pilfered. It looks like I’ll be able to get probably 2 out of 4 of them back in operable condition. The price was fair enough, so I cannot much complain. The other pair look as though...

This is SORT of MV related so I thought I would post up here in case you guys are interested. Tascabe and I run an event called East Wind that is a Cold War era “what if” reenactment. This year, we are running at D-Day Adventure Park in NE Oklahoma. East Wind runs for 9 days straight 24...

I happened across a pair of the Arctic canvas cab tops for the Deuce at a Flea Market a little while ago. I had one friend I knew needed a canvas top plus I figured a spare top for my truck wouldn’t be a bad idea to have hanging around so scooped the two of them up. I gave one to my buddy...

I know it may seem weird to be looking for parts for an outdated monochrome 486 computer in this day and age but there is method to my madness. I spend all year gathering bits and pieces to run one annual event. Operation East Wind www.operationeastwind.com East Wind is set in the closing...

M109 pilfered at GL Ft. Riley After I got my M35A2 several buddies really liked it and decided to get trucks themselves. The entire process on my truck went fairly well from bidding to driving it home and I really had a pretty positive experience overall. Not so much for my friend Terry...

As I have mentioned a few time around here, once a year my airsoft club runs a 9 day long continuous immersive airsoft event called East Wind. For 9 days, participants live the life of a field deployed unit choosing either US/NATO or Warsaw Pact/Soviet. The scenario is set in the ending...

The main reason I have my Deuce is to support my crack like addiction to playing milsim airsoft. It happens that we haul enough gear around when doing larger scale events that even a 1 ton pickup truck was not cutting the mustard and given that we always had to go some place off-road towing a...

Note: this was written last night on m laptop at work while the power was out. Just now getting it posted. :) Well am I now officially am an MV owner. I picked up my Deuce from GL at Ft. Riley today and drove it home to Kansas City. I won it in late May, submitted the EUC in early June...
