In my search for a Mule, I've found a few on the East coast that are titled but all the ones near me on the west coast don't have an titles, sf97s, or other proof of ownership. Anyone have experience getting a title for a Mule in AZ and ultimatly registering it as an off-road vehicle?
I'm trying to figure out if I can fit a m274 in the bed of a Tacoma (short bed) pickup truck. Based on the dimensional data I can find, it sounds like I could fit it with the rear wheels resting ontop of the Tacoma bed's wheel wells near the cab and the front wheels resting either in the bed or...
I'm in the market for a mule and initially wanted a 4 wheel steer model for the tighter turn radius. Since looking, I've heard the 4 wheel steer variants can be a pain between getting the wheels aligned and squirlyness at anything other than low gear speeds. Anyone here driven both to offer a...
My fuel cap looked lose so I went to tighten it and the insides disintegrated when I went to turn it. The entire inside was pretty much rusted away. I don't think there is an appreciable amount of water in the tank, as I have used both a PIG water absorber and have recently pumped out the...
Anyone (or maybe a couple of people for comparison) have pictures of their front spring packs while loaded? Trying to judge if mine are sitting properly...
Interesting. Wonder if throwing a bunch of these in a permeable sock would be a good way to get water out of contaminated fuel?

I have a Fuel Tank Diverter Selector Valve (NSN 2910-00-977-5495) from a 5 ton that is stuck in one position. Any recommendation on getting it unstuck? Are rebuild kits for this thing available or do I have to buy a replacement?
My truck came with Ouverson lockout hubs on it. I'm planning on taking them off to do some other axle work, and figured I would inspect/clean up the lockout hubs while I'm at it. I reached out to Ouverson via their website, but haven't heard back. Based on my research (mainly this post...
Hoping someone who has successfully done this in AZ can help me out. I have 3 vehicles. 2 of those are parked in the garage of my main residence (the license on my driver's license). The third vehicle is parked at a secondary residence, in a different county, about 4 hours away. Right now, all...
I didn't even know what to title this, or where best to post it, but as it is for my deuce, hopefully this will suffice.
I need to dispense some NLGI Grade 0 grease ("Corn head grease") into something that previously took gear oil. While I could just throw the grease cartridge into a 10000 psi...
Wasn't sure where to post this, but this seemed like the best forum. What's the best way to protect plain, fiber core wire rope (like used on MV winches)? Primarily looking to protect from rust, but also don't want to attract/retain dirt, and want to keep the fiber core conditioned. I've heard...
I have a M35A2 w/ winch. I've never used the winch, other than to spool it out a bit and back in enough to know the PTO and cab controls work. I'd now like to remove the winch and give clean it up/rebuild it on my bench. Trying to search Google (or by extension the SS forms) has been tricky as I...
I'm looking for something to protect/renew rubber parts (axle boots, weatherstripping, axle bumpers, packard connectors, etc.). Everything I have found so far appears to be designed to make your high-end car tires shiny -- not what I'm looking for. Recently I found Aero Cosmetics "Rubber Care"...
Curious if there is already a list and I missed it (thought it might be "member map", but I can't find that now and assume I'm thinking of something on another site I frequent). Is there a listing of people, locations, support capabilities, and contact info somewhere handy should another member...
My in tank pump went out and I'm now finally getting around to replacing it with an external one. I think I have everything I need scrounged together, except for one thing. I was planning on running 3/8 or 1/2 fuel line into the tank and putting a screen/filter on the end of the line. That fuel...
Note, this is not about a Solargizer, but rather about a true float-charger setup.
I have some Optima blue-top batteries in my truck, and on occasion I run a bunch of stuff off those batteries without the truck engine running. Instead of driving the truck around aimlessly periodically to...
I'm in DC for the weekend and due to the weather, my previous plans got cancelled. I'm originally from DC/Virginia, so I've seen all the monuments, museums, parks, etc. Any recommendations for things to do this Saturday? Bonus points for things MV related.
I spent about 4 hours and finally managed to get all the torque rod nuts off. For anyone else doing the job, save yourself some effort and just pull the wheels. I did it with the wheels and 395 tires still on, and it was tight.
Now, I got the upper torque rods off, but the middle bushings...
I want to add a pressure gauge after all the fuel filters to see if I am getting the expected pressure. Looking at the LDS Troubleshooting guide, pages 12-13 give the expected pressures and a location to put a gauge at, but the picture in the PDF I have is so bad, I can't see where it is...
