We get a few convoys moving through the area but I don't think I've ever seen this many all parked in one place here locally. Word is they pulled in about 8AM Saturday and more kept coming in until they filled this one section of a local plaza parking lot. These were taken about 2AM Sunday...

So I saw this posted on Pirate4x4 as a possible donor of the Rockwell axles for an off road project. It may or may no belong here in the Deuce section, but it has Deuce axles but is probably has more in common with the older Deuce. Either way it will get more attention here I think. So can...

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but it seems to fit here. Mods, feel free to move if necessary. This was posted up on Pirate and I searched and didn't see any mention of it here. It's called an ELSORV and looks to be a very basic, down to earth light armored off road vehicle. It uses a...

Based on the somewhat constant struggle and minor headbutting about posting information about ongoing or upcoming auctions, and the post about a certain large truck on the board, I propose a new rule. Why not wait until the auction is over before posting all these little tidbits that everyone...

Ok guys, I know this isn't a MV but I figured it is my ride, and here is where a lot of the pics are so I thought I'd post it here. You guys can move it to Conversations if you want. Anyway, I've often mentioned my desires to build up a Dodge Ramcharger to CUCV spec or better and now I have...

I don't know if this has come up before but I would be surprised if it hasn't but is there anyway to make the descriptions of the various TMs more descriptive? Some don't have any info on what vehicle they are for and so if you are looking far a manual or doing some research and don't have a a...

Ok, I'm almost positive I have seen a drawing somewhere that gave the dimensions of the Deuce winch in the TMs but after hours of searching and downloading I have yet to find it. Anyone know the TM number offhand or have the drawing they could post in a readable size? I am planning my project...

Anyone have a pic of how the pintle is mounted and reinforced on an M880 or similar? Is it mounted in a frame cross-member or just mounted to the bumper with some brackets to add strength? I looked for the manual but either I'm blind or there isn't on on here. Thanks in advance!

Ok, the post about looking for a nice M1009 sort of prompted me to do this. If it's not in the right place or is out of line for some reason. It is MV related, read below. Here's my plan, I want an Dodge Ramcharger version of an M1009 with a few options. So what I am looking for is a decent...

Anyone got a copy of the FM 5-36 Route Reconnaissance and Classification Manual? Or the related AR 746-5 or TB 746-93-1? Basically I am looking for the specs and tables on the Bridge Plates and their use on different MVs. There seems to be a lot of confusion where the bridge plates and the...

Ok, I know just about all of us has seen an Ebay ad, or even Eastern's site where they say a particular truck was "rebuilt by the US Government in (insert year here)". Now most of these ads and so forth show a pic of a MWO tag that is normally attached to the cab near the driver's seat and if...

EDIT: Er, sorry for the hijack, I didn't originally intend this post to be this long, lol... A few issues with oil filter magnets. One major issue is that probably over half the garbage floating around in your oil is non-metallic, or is babbit, copper, or aluminum bearing material, and...

Ok, I'm posting this in the 5 ton forum since the FM 20-22 Vehicle Recovery Operations manual mainly pertains to the 5 ton wreckers. I have looked all over the place and can't seem to find a copy of this online, except to purchase. Specifically I am looking for something in the range of the...
